"It's bad on that rooster!" says Corkey, as he hears the water dashing on the prostrate form. "Wonder if his head is out of the drink?" "Yessah!" stammers the boy, feeling slowly in the stern. The work and the fear settle into a sodden, unbroken period of three hours more. Growing familiarity with the seas aids Corkey in holding the craft to the wind. But how long can he last?
Beyond this it is only to be said that both Judge and doctor were gentlemen, and loyal to beauty in distress. They both earned Mary Ellen's love, for they got off eight blocks sooner than they should have done, and walked more than half a mile in the sun before they found a place of rest. "Oh, well, yessah, Judge," said Dr.
But Ah done thought maybe yo' know somethin' dat yo's burnin' to tell." "Who are you, and what are you doing around here?" asked Tom. "I'm certain you don't belong to my force of workmen -unless you just joined yesterday. Are you working on the breakwater job?" "Yessah," promptly answered Sambo with momentary gravity. Then his mood changed to a chuckle.
"Good mawnin', James," said the doctor as he passed; and the driver answered respectfully. "Good mornin', Doctah. You li'l late this mornin', seems like." "Well, yessah, I may be a leetle late, just a leetle. Good mawnin', Judge; how are you this mawnin', sah?" "Very well, Doctah, sah, thank you, sah. Step in an' seddown. Right wahm, this mawnin'.

He got suthin very pertickler fo' Miss Jinny." "Do you know him?" Clarence demanded. "No sah yessah leastwise I'be seed 'um. Name's Robimson." The word was hardly out of his mouth before Virginia had leaped down the four feet from the porch to the flower-bed and was running across the lawn toward the shrubbery.
"Suppose we can git him in?" "Yessah!" stammers the boy. The unknown man is evidently wounded, but is more active than when he was first picked up. Every wood-chopper is gone. There are no sounds in Georgian Bay other than the noises of the boat, the wind and the great waves. There were 117 souls on the Africa. Now 114 are drowned. They perished like rats in a trap.
The handsome eyes of the navigator rest on his protege. The head sets up a vibration something like the movement of a rattlesnake before it strikes. The little tongue plays about the black tobacco. The speech comes forth. "It's a great act I play on the widow about the 'last words'. He didn't say nothing of the kind. I come near putting my foot right into it." "Yessah!"
Get me that steward with the liquor, or there'll be one afloat here without a second mate." It was with no good feeling that I went below to get the old man a drink. The steward met me and grinned as he brought forth the liquor. "Yessah, it's nine ob dem he takes endurin' de watch. Lord, man, he's got something pow'rful on his mind. Did yo' ebber feel the heft ob his trunk he brought aboard, sah?
Gregg, half sighing, "we were young once, eh, Judge? young once ouhselves." "Lucky dog!" said the judge; "lucky dog! But he seems a gentleman, and if he has propah fam'ly an' propah resources, it may be, yessah, it may be she's lucky, too. Oh, Northehn, yessah, I admit it. But what would you expeck, sah, in these times? I'm told theh are some vehy fine people in the No'th."
