Waal, sir, as we're bound on the same sort of v'y'ge, I'm happy to have fallen in with you; and I see no reason why we should not be neighbourly, and 'gam' it a little, when we've nothing better to do. I like that schooner of yours so well, that I've made my own to look as nearly resembling her as I could. You see our paint is exactly the same."
"I do I do, Sir John, body and soul I repent, from the bottom of my heart, ever having come on this v'y'ge nay, I don't know but I repent ever having come outside of Montauk Point.

"I shall take my opportunity," he ses, "and break it to 'er gentle like. When I speak to you, you chip in, and not afore. D'ye understand?"

"We're going to make money in the old Scarboro this v'y'ge, Webb," he said. "You'd better stick to the bark.

Mulford, and cannot say. No man is the worse for bowsing out his jib when off duty, though a drunkard's a thing I despise. Well, well remember, sir, that the Molly Swash casts off on the young flood, and that Rose Budd and the good lady, her aunt, take passage in her, this v'y'ge." "Is it possible that you have persuaded them into that, at last!" exclaimed the handsome mate. "Persuaded!
Don't you see it does? O, Mr. Tenney, think of the poor little boy that's got to live along" the one phrase still seemed to her the best "not right, and grow to be a man, and you may die and leave him, and his mother may die. What's he going to do then?" "No," said Tenney quietly, with the slightest glance at Tira in her tremor there by the door, "I ain't goin' to die, not this v'y'ge.
"'Well, skipper, says the cook, 'I will; for I don't want nobody t' die o' my cookin' on this here v'y'ge. "'An' will you keep out o' the galley? "'I 'low I'll have to. "'An', look you! cook, is you sure is you sure, says the skipper, with a shudder, lookin' at the roof, 'that you wants t' marry this here "'Don't you do it, skipper! says the cook. 'Don't you say that no more!

The unfortnit part of it was that George took 'im at his word, and all the rest of the v'y'ge he acted as though Bob belonged to 'im, and by the time we got into the London river Bob couldn't call his soul 'is own.

"I had it once, in an old v'y'ge round the Horn, and have no wish to try it ag'in, But there must be fish in plenty among these rocks, Mr. Mark, and we have a good stock of bread.

She was as sprightly a person as ever I see; an' could speak well o' what she'd seen." "Did she die to sea?" asked Peggy, with interest. "No, she died to home between v'y'ges, or she'd gone to sea again.
