He's a real likely, well-growed lad; and that West Point 't he's hankerin' for'd be the best thing ever happened to him. Exceptin' course 't it would nigh break his mother's heart, so he told me. Well, that's no more here nor there. A little drillin' in this Colorady air'll do 'em all good and set him up to a dandy shape. Yes, siree!
The hawser's fast for'd, Mr. Murphy. Cast off your stern line." "All clear for'd, sir," Matt Peasley's shout came ranging down the wind, and the tug snatched the big barkentine out from the mill dock into the stream where she cast her off, put her big towing hawser aboard, paid it out and started for Grays Harbor bar. On a certain day in February Mr.
Gibney's suggestion some twenty tons of sacked coal were piled on top of the fo'castle head and on the main deck for'd, in case of emergency. They lay in the harbour all day until about four o'clock, when Mr. Gibney, by virtue of his authority as supercargo, ordered the lines cast off and the Maggie steamed out of the harbour.
Scraggs took the cue immediately. "All clear forward, sir," he piped. "Send the bosun for'd an' heave the lead, Mr. Thompson." "Very well, sir." Here The Squarehead, who had been enjoying the unique situation immensely, decided to take a hand. Presently, in sing-song cadence he was reporting the depth of water alongside. "That'll do, bosun," Gibney thundered.
His blue eyes look lak he love to kill us. "'Fall in! he says, an' we does. 'Go for'd, he says, an' we goes. "'Now' he says, wat's all dis about? "'Well, says Jack, 'I didn't staht no fight. I jes' goes into a saloon, peaceful like, an' a damn Limey says, pointin' to a British flag on dere own ship, 'You see dat flag? "'Aye, says Jack, 'an' still I don't see nuthin'.
MacLean and the cook, and we'll go for'd and break out the anchor." Immediately on his arrival from Cape Town, Matt Peasley had paid off all his foremast hands, leaving the two mates and the cook the only men aboard the vessel. He joined them now in a walk around the capstan; the launch hooked on and the Retriever was snaked across the harbor to Weatherby's mill.
The events through which I've passed have altered my view of the entire affair. Where all seemed leading me on and on, and up and up, I see nothing before me now." "Promotion!" "I don't b'lieve I'd ever get it. The best I could hope for'd be that they'd leave me here to th' end o' my service life. And besides, if promotion comes tomorrow, I don't want it." "Will, let me say it at once.
We've seen their kind before. Shall we make a running fight, Chapman?" "No. There's too much cover for 'em. They'd lie in this grass like snakes and cut us off. Head into that first ravine, yonder. Maybe we can stand 'em off from there till help comes." They six had only a moment for tightening their girths and unbuttoning their holster flaps. "For'd! Gallop!" barked the sergeant. They galloped.
It's the taste that busts my bobstay." "Why, what do you mean?" "Well, you see, sir, the odor of creosote is so heavy it won't float in the air, but just settles down over everything, like mildew on a pair of boots. So it gets in the stores and you taste it. You can store flour below deck aft and creosoted piling on deck for'd and you won't be out two weeks before that flour is spoiled.
Round the windlass Cardigan walked, steadily and easily, and the girl's eyes widened in wonder as he did the work of three powerful men. When the ship had been warped in and the slack of the line made fast on the bitts, she said: "Please run for'd and help my father with the bow-lines. You're worth three foremast hands. Indeed, I didn't expect to see a sailor on this dock."
