"What on earth for?" growled Johnson. "So that we can expel him," said Ward. And while Boswell's hero was trying to get the value of this notion through his head, the others repaired to the deck, and the Gehenna was soon under way once more. Meanwhile Captain Kidd and his fellows were put in irons and stowed away in the forecastle, alongside of the water-cask in which Shylock lay in hiding.
The priest was seated on a water-cask, reading his Breviary, while Zac stood not far off, looking thoughtfully over the vessel's side. Terry was at the tiller, not because there was any steering to be done, but because he thought it would be as well for every one to be at his post in the event of a change of wind. He had whistled "St.
Should a storm spring up, even an ordinary gale, not only would their canvas water-cask be bilged, and its contents spilled out to mingle with the briny billow, but their frail embarkation would be in danger of going to pieces, or of being whelmed fathoms deep under the frothing waves. In a high latitude, either north or south, their chance of keeping afloat would have been slight indeed.
By his side on the ground was a large barrel, seemingly a water-cask, which he occasionally seized with a finger and thumb, and waved over his head as if it had been a quart pot.
Spinkie, as Moses had named him, was an intensely affectionate creature, with a countenance of pathetic melancholy which utterly belied his character, for mischief and fun were the dominating qualities of that monkey. He was seated on a water-cask when Nigel first caught sight of him, holding the end of his long tail in one hand, and apparently wiping his nose with it.

Clear the inside of the water-cask frequently, and occasionally add to the water a little Condy's fluid, as it destroys organic matter.
They did so; and William rolled up the empty water-cask which Ready had brought with him. The turtle-steaks were as much approved of as the turtle-soup; indeed, after having been so long on salt meat, a return to fresh provisions was delightful. "And now to finish our well," said William, as soon as dinner was over. "How hard you do work, William!" said his mother. "So I ought, mother.
"Starboard," repeated the other softly. "He says starboard, and that's what it seems to me. My lad, yesterday morning it was on the port side." The seaman received this astounding communication with calmness, but, as a slight concession to appearances, said "Lor!" "And the water-cask," said the skipper; "what colour is it?" "Green," said the man.
Still, he can't go into the church yet; what are you going to do with him in the meantime, eh?" "Send him to school," replied the other. "Why, hasn't he been yet?" "Oh, yes, he's not altogether ignorant," said the vicar. "I think he's a very fair scholar for his years." "Then why dose him any more with book learning, eh? When you fill a water-cask too full it's apt to run over!"
One pounced on a fowl; another lamed the pig; a trio put the cat up a peach-tree; one with a thirst mounted the water-cask and looked down it, while the bulk of the brutes trotted inside and disputed with Mother who should open the safe. Dad loosed our three, and pleased they were to feel themselves free. They had been chained up all the week, with scarcely anything to eat.
