For a needle to thread itself and then rapidly proceed to sew without the help of fingers calls for the discovery of more "hows" than are needed to explain Laplace's "Mecanique celeste." Mass and gravity suffice for the one, but only a Yankee's mind could have created the other. We have now come to a great word "create."
When the chill winds of May and early June were blowing off the northern coast during the "Yankee's" period of cruising in that vicinity, the after wheel-house formed a snug and comfortable retreat for the men of the watch. It was freely used for that purpose until the navigator chanced to discover the fact. He forthwith issued orders forbidding any person to enter the house, except on duty.
This was turning the tables somewhat sharply upon Peter, but Yankee's keen, wide-open eyes were upon him, and his intensely earnest manner demanded an answer. "Indeed, if it will be so, it will not be for any merit of my own, but only because of the mercy of the Lord in Christ Jesus." Peter's tone was sincerely humble.
"It's enough," said Garvin; "because it makes a delightful mystery which but adds to the 'Beautiful Yankee's' attractions. The Secretary is far gone there. I happen to know that he is to take her to the President's reception to-morrow night." Prescott started. He was glad now that he had not humbled himself. "At any rate," said Redfield, "Mr.
And as he sat by the camp-fire that night listening to Yankee's account of the beginning of the trouble, and heard how his brother had kept himself in hand, and how at last he had been foully smitten, Macdonald's conflict deepened, and he rose up and cried aloud: "God help me!

And whatever this Yankee's own private purpose, it was a chance for the chieftain to strike secretly and safely at Americans, in addition. "They will come through in squads after they've slipped across the line," Burkhardt reported. "They're to pose as laborers." "When?" Sorenson asked. "Along next week.
A fourth could only suppose it the Yankee's design to X-press, in a general way, his X-asperation. 'Say, rather, to set an X-ample to posterity, suggested a fifth.

"Well, gentlemen, it kept stark calm for two whole days after we'd took the brig, and Johnson that was the Yankee's name, Edward Johnson he kept us all busy during that time disguising the craft, by painting the hull and spars afresh, and such like; and the carpenter he was sent over the starn on a stage to fix a plank over the name, on which he'd carved a lot of flourishes and such like, and the word Albatross, which was what Johnson had re-christened her, and by the time we'd finished, her own builder wouldn't have knowed her.
I didn't try to save it! I only tried to split a Yankee's head and didn't even do that! Dick Smith, if you tell anybody else that I saved Well, who did, then? Good Lordy! if I'd known that to save a man's life would make all this fuss I wouldn't 'a' done it!
Mother has got down all the broken crockery from the top shelf in the corner cupboard, and the Yankee's mending it with a sort of stuff like sticks of sealing-wax, that he carries about with him; and I dare say he'll get her to pay him more for it than the things are worth. But I say nothing."
