The wind did not, by any means, blow from any one point of the compass; though the south-western cliffs might be almost termed the weather-side of the island, so much more frequently did the gales come from that quarter than from any other.
She was sitting at the far corner, sheltered from the north wind. For Farlingford is like a ship always conscious of the lee- and the weather-side, and all who live there are half sailors in their habits subservient to the wind. "At last," said Loo, with a little vexed laugh. He could see her face turned toward him, but her eyes were only dark shadows beneath her hair.
Another sea, stronger than its fellows, suddenly struck us a tremendous blow. The cutter heeled over, so that the water boiled above the lee gunwale. The assaulting sea, too, broke up and over the weather-side, and drenched us all in its cataract.
And anon, he shakes off these thoughts, and looks on the weather-side then upwards at the the masts and, as he notes the proceedings, his orders are delivered fiercely, and his passions seem ungovernable. The vessel, too, seems to share the general feeling is loath to leave the port.
Certain it is, that Isabel, as soon as she had recovered from her alarm, thanked Newton Forster, with a sweet smile, for his timely aid, as she again took the arm of Captain Drawlock, who escorted her to the weather-side of the quarter-deck. "I have brought you one of your protegees, Mrs Ferguson," said Captain Drawlock. "How do you feel, Miss Revel?"
They smoked-all day, balancing themselves on the weather-side to steadv the boats as they keeled over into the heavy seas. I think they would have-given even Mr. Riel that day a pipeful of tobacco; but Heaven help him if they: had caught him two days later on the portages of the Winnipeg! he would have had a hard time of it.
Spike had gone forward, and posted himself on the weather-side of the forecastle, where he could get the clearest look ahead, and there he remained most of the time, leaving Mulford on the quarter-deck, to work the vessel, Perceiving this, she managed to get near the mate, without attracting her aunt's attention, and at the same time out of ear-shot.
It seems that in the long calm these shellfish had fastened on the boat. More than a hundred of them were taken off her weather-side, and evenly divided. Miss Rolleston, at Hazel's earnest request, ate only six, and these very slowly, and laid the rest by.
They were standing on the weather-side of the forecastle in the evening, looking over the side at the setting sun. "You don't appear to be easy in your mind," observed Ben Bolter, after a prolonged silence. "You wouldn't be if you had left a bride behind you," answered Bill shortly. "How d'ye know that?" said Ben; "p'r'aps I have left one behind me. Anyhow, I've left an old mother."
"I do like this sort o' thing," said a beardless young fellow, as a number of the men sat on camp-stools, or stood on the weather-side of the deck, chatting together about past times and future prospects. "Ha!" exclaimed a seaman, who stood near them coiling up a rope; "hold on till you've got a taste o' the Bay. This is a mill-pond to that. And you'll have the chance to-night.
