Ive often heard of that Bay of State, said Benjamin, but cant say that Ive ever been in it, nor do I know exactly whereaway it is that it lays; but I suppose there is good anchorage in it, and that its no bad place for the taking of ling; but for size it cant be so much as a yawl to a sloop of war compared with the Bay of Biscay, or, mayhap, Torbay.
The frost had touched the soul which gave the colour to the eyes of the girl. Yet she seemed all summer, all glow and youth and gladness. Her voice was golden, too, and the words which fell from her lips were as though tuned to the sound of falling water. The tone of the voice would last when the gold of all else became faded or tarnished. It had its origin in the soul: "Whereaway goes my lad?
"When once more the lad I loved hereaway, hereaway, Comes to lay his hand in mine, kiss me on the brow, I will whisper down the wind, he will weep to hear me say 'Whereaway, whereaway goes my lover now?" He went to bed again, but sleep would not come. The verses of the lament kept singing in his brain. He tossed from side to side, he sought to control himself, but it was of no avail.
It was fortunate that we had not much way through the water. "Now," I thought to myself, "the Second will see the thing. And perhaps Mr. Blooming 'prentice will be able to give the star its proper name." Even as the thought came into my head, the light faded and vanished; and I caught the Second Mate's voice. "Whereaway?" he was singing out. "It's gone again, Sir," I answered.
Never harsh word did I speak, never hurt I gave; Strong he was and beautiful; like a heron he has flown Hereaway, hereaway will I make my grave. "When once more the lad I loved hereaway, hereaway, Comes to lay his hand in mine, kiss me on the brow, I will whisper down the wind, he will weep to hear me say 'Whereaway, whereaway goes my lover now?"

Dave ordered the course changed to east by north-east, in order to reach the rendezvous of the three launches. "Steamer ahead, sir!" sang out the bow lookout, a few minutes later. "Whereaway?" called Darrin, moving forward. "Three points off starboard bow, sir," replied the sailorman. "It looks like our own launch, sir." By this time Darrin was well forward.
This was the song she sang: "Whereaway, whereaway goes the lad that once was mine? Hereaway I waited him, hereaway and oft; When I sang my song to him, bright his eyes began to shine Hereaway I loved him well, for my heart was soft.
The wide ocean spread all around us; neither sail nor shore, nor living creature was visible, and we had begun to ask ourselves whether we had not found a watery planet, when Gazen suddenly cried out, "Land!" "Whereaway?" I enquired with breathless interest. He pointed a little to the right of our course, and following the direction of his finger, I saw a dim outline where sea and sky met.
"This is matter that don't get into the log every watch! Whereaway, or in what seas, didst meet the thing?" "'Twas off the Branch. We were fishing in thick weather, and when the mist lifted, a little, there was a craft seen standing in-shore, running like a race-horse; but while we got our anchor, she had made a league of offing, on the other tack!"
