But this did not comfort poor Betsy, who went sorrowfully into her house, shut the door, and would have had a good cry herself, if the baby had not been crying so hard that she had more than she could do to take care of him. "I never saw such a cross child," she exclaimed. "When he was my old Zachary, he was very good natured; but now he is little Zach, I can hardly stay in the house with him."
Even as important a topic as Nelson Howard did not arouse his interest. "Oh, nothin', nothin'," he assured. "Cal'late maybe I'll lay down and turn in a little spell afore dinner. Is Zach on deck?" "Yes, he is out in the kitchen, or was a minute ago. Primmie was over on an errand and I heard their tongues going. Shall I speak to Zach, father?" He told her no, and went into the house.
"Lulie is goin' to send Zach over to tell us when they're ready to set sail for Ghost Harbor," went on Martha. "That will save us watchin' the clock. What say?" But he had not said anything and she went on arranging the dishes. After an interval she asked a question. "How soon that is, when will you have to leave us leave here, Mr. Bangs?" she asked. She was not looking at him when she asked it.
Galusha rubbed his chin. "I have often wondered," he said, "why no summer cottage has been built just here. The spot would seem to possess very marked advantages. Very ah very much so." The light keeper cleared his throat. "Zach said he see Raish comin' out of your gate t'other day," he said. "Been to see Martha about her shares then, had he?"
Galusha found it distracting and, at times, annoying, for Mr. Bloomer's mustache was bristly. "Little Cherry Blossom talks's if she had a cold," whispered Zach. "Better take a little cherry rum, hadn't she, eh?" The control was loudly paging a person named Noah. "Sperit heree wantee talkee with Noah," she cried. "Wheree isee Noah?" "'Board the Ark, most likely," whispered Mr. Bloomer.
General Zach, entrusted with the command in the absence of Melas, was forced to give up his sword. When the old general hurried up in agitation, the battle was lost. The Austrian troops, repulsed and routed, and crowded against the banks of the Bormida, blocked up all the bridges, or cast themselves into the river, everywhere pursued by the victorious French.
Then Nat suggests gettin' the spare compass and, lo and behold you! there wa'n't any. Compasses cost money and money's made to keep, so Zach thinks. "So there they was. Wind was fair, or ought to be, but 'twas blowin' hard and so thick you couldn't hardly see the jib boom. Zach he wanted to anchor, then he didn't, then he did, and so on. Nobody paid much attention to him.
She laughed again and Lulie and Galusha joined her. They were still laughing when the dining room door opened. Mr. Bloomer's substantial if not elegant form appeared. "Ain't buttin' in, be I?" inquired Zach. "I knew you was over here, Lulie, so I stopped to tell you the news. It's all settled." "Settled?" Lulie and Martha repeated the word together. Zach nodded, portentously.
You young men get together and form a 'Rough and Ready' club, and have regular meetings and speeches.... Let every one play the part he can play best some speak, some sing, and all 'holler. Your meetings will be of evenings; the older men, and the women, will go to hear you; so that it will not only contribute to the election of 'Old Zach, but will be an interesting pastime, and improving to the intellectual faculties of all engaged."
"Three fathom the lead give 'em, then two and a half, then a scant two. They was drawin' six feet. Zach couldn't stand it. "'I'm goin' to anchor, he squeals, frantic. 'I believe we're plumb over to Wellmouth and drivin' right onto Horsefoot Shoal. "'It's either that or the bar, chimes in 'Bije. 'And whichever 'tis, we can't anchor in the middle of it. "'But what'll we do? shouts Zach.
