"Ladies an' gentlemen an' childern," said Captain Pharo, taking his place beside the flag; "we've h'isted of 'er, an' here she blows" he put his hand in his pocket for his pipe, and drew from his vest a match. Mrs. Kobbe coughed loudly, and even shook her head at him: he put them back. "We have h'isted on 'er," he continued, "an' here she blows!" Mrs.
The Fata Morgana are further illustrations of this optic delusion. This phenomenon is seen at the Pharo of Messina, in Sicily, under certain circumstances.
I forgot withal that I was lame. "Chipadees sing pretty," said Captain Pharo, drawing a match along the leg of his trousers and lighting his pipe, as we stood amid the song of birds in the lane "but robins is noisy creeturs, always at the same old tune poo! poo! hohum! Wal, wal he paused there, having his pipe well going.
He would pour out the treacle for us all for that it was sweeter, sweeter than any refined juices I ever tasted. No denials, no protestations would avail to stay the utter generosity of his hand. The griddle-cakes were of the apparent size of the moon when she is full in the heavens. "Come, Pharo, brace up. Eat somethin', dodrabbit ye!
"I say ye do!" said Captain Pharo, waxing more and more wroth; "ye sets some feller t' work there, 't never see salt water, t' make our laws for us; 'lows us to ketch all the spawn lobsters and puts injunctions onter the little ones: like takin' people when they gits to be sixteen or twenty year old, 'n' choppin' their heads off yer race is goin' to multiply almighty fast, ain't it?"
Jest as Cain did, and jest as David did, when he killed Ury, and Joseph's brother and Pharo, and you and I, and the relations on his side and on yourn. She knew she hadn't ort to. But bein' out a-walkin' with The Little Maid one day, a home-sick feelin' come over her all of a sudden. She wanted to see her sister wanted to, like a dog.

Admiral 'S I Sums-it-up was turning his horse about. "I believe you and me 's got a bet on, ain't we, adm'r'l?" said Captain Pharo. "I told 'em 'twas wastin' waggin ile to come down here to c'lect.

Then his sphere is enlarged; he gets a new existence: he disdains the peasant, the house serf, the clerk, and the writer, because, he says, they are all uncivilized people. His wants are now greater, and you cannot bribe him except with bank notes. Does he not take wine now at his meals? Does he not patronize a little pharo? Is he not obliged to present his lady with a costly cap or a silk gown?
They had passed the Tete de Morte, were now off the Anse du Pharo, and about to double the battery. This manoeuvre was incomprehensible to Dantes. "Whither are you taking me?" asked he. "You will soon know." "But still" "We are forbidden to give you any explanation."
