"Ashamed?"
'Why, thin, ye murtherin' villins, will ye follow me into the smoke itself? said Andy, whirling his bush in the air to disperse their squadrons. 'I thought ye wor satisfied wid most atin' us last week, an' blindin' the young gintlemin, an' lavin' lumps on their faces as big as hazel nuts. Betune yerselves an' the miss kitties, it's hard for a man to do a sthroke of work, wid huntin' ye.
All to once I understood him. "'Hammond, I says, 'I swan to man if I don't believe we've picked up the real crew of this craft! "'Si, senor; boat, my boat! Crew!

Here the girl kicked the swing door and appeared with the first assortment of bird dishes. "Here, boys, you'll kinder have to sort 'em out for yerselves," she laughed, her eager eyes watching the Clown.

We'll git to the ould sod, will we?" "Yes, but ye'll do it yerselves, mind ye. No kicks, no scraps. Ye'll do as yer told, and pull ropes, and wark." "We'll wurruk," they declared, noisily.

"Den go 'long, boys, and rig yerselves up in yer blankets. Ye can pertend to be Injuns fer to-night. Like enough dis ain't de worst shift ye'll have to make 'fore ye get out o' dese parts."
