"Sure and the divil only knows," replied the first-mate laconically, "for Bill Moody, the baste, must be along o' them, as he's not with these here; and he was sartain to be will looked afther by the ould gintleman in black down below!" "Hush!" said Mr Meldrum. "If he is dead, let him rest in peace!"
Marble can contradict me and tell the truth, my lord but it were better I should hear his statement." "'I was first-mate of the Dawn, of New York, Miles Wallingford master and owner. Captured and ordered in by Speedy, as known. Three days after parting company with the frigate, with Mr.
I denied our condition, because I thought he would be more likely to allow us our liberty as humble individuals, than as captain and first-mate; particularly as he suspects that we led on the Ternate people to the attack; and when he asked for a certificate of your death, I immediately imagined that he wanted it in order to induce Amine to marry him. But where is she? is the question.
Over and over again we were pooped, our bulwarks were carried away, the boats smashed, the caboose and pretty nigh everything else on deck swept clean off. Five of the hands had been washed overboard, another three men were down below badly hurt, and the first-mate had his leg broke. We were all pretty well exhausted, as you may guess.
"No, no, I'll stop with the ship," said the first-mate. "Then it will be to keep me company," said the captain, "for I shall not stir." "Oh, well then, sir, I will take a run," said Mr Gregory. "You'll go too, Morgan?" "I should enjoy it much, sir," said the second-mate. "All right, then. I'll have the gig lowered and manned. The sooner you are off the better."
"That's what I can't make out," said the first-mate. "It's just as if he were practising ventriloquism. Sometimes it sounds to the right and sometimes to the left." "Yes, that's how it strikes me," said the second-mate. "Listen, youngster. Here: silence there on deck!" A pin fall might have been heard the next moment, and the silence was broken by the low piteous moan.
As in all probability we shall be shipmates for a voyage or two, I trust that we shall be good friends. The first-mate, with an "excuse me a moment" went forward to give some directions to the English seamen, leaving Forster to look about him. What he observed, we shall describe for the benefit of our readers.
They certainly looked it; but, as the first-mate would not be put out of any conceit with the garments, in spite of their appearance, and as others began to be similarly in need, they had perforce to follow his example, when penguin trousers may be said to have "become the rage" on the island even Mr Lathrope, who had laughed at Mr McCarthy for wearing them, having to follow the fashion and don the "ducks."
"If I let him go into the water he would begin to bark loudly," whispered Mark. "Ah! and do more harm than good," said the major. "Now, look here, gentlemen: my wife and daughter are on board that ship, and we've got to find her, so let's have no talk of giving up, if you please." "Give up, major!" said the first-mate with an angry growl; "don't you run away with that idea.
Another hour had passed and Bruff had been had down four more times, always after his fashion to show where the man they sought must be, but still there was no result to their task, and Mark felt a blank sensation of despair troubling him, for he could see that the first-mate was beginning to lose faith in the dog's instinct, though there had for long enough past been nothing to prove that he was wrong, not so much as a sigh being heard.
