Legree had trained them in savageness and brutality as systematically as he had his bull-dogs; and, by long practice in hardness and cruelty, brought their whole nature to about the same range of capacities. It is a common remark, and one that is thought to militate strongly against the character of the race, that the negro overseer is always more tyrannical and cruel than the white one.
But that's not enough you must make up your minds to fight well. You know that pirates give no quarter. I see the decks are swarming with men. If you don't go at them like bull-dogs you'll walk the plank before sunset, every man of you. Now, go forward, and double-shot your muskets and pistols, and stick as many of the latter into your belts as they will hold.
They ran the boat on shore through the surf, where a cove in the shore made landing possible, and almost careless whether she stove or not, scrambled over the sand-hills with each man his brace of shot slung across his shoulder; and Amyas, leaping into the trenches, shouted cheerfully to Salvation Yeo "More food for the bull-dogs, Gunner, and plums for the Spaniards' Christmas pudding!"
The first half of the Battle of the Bull-dogs was as peaceful as any ordinary pic-nic, and promised to the general company as calm a conclusion. If it be a distinct point of wisdom to hug the hour that is, then does dinner amount to a highly intellectual invitation to man, for it furnishes the occasion; and Britons are the wisest of their race, for more than all others they take advantage of it.
Several of the men started up involuntarily and simultaneously to look, hitting their shoulders and bodies together. Distrust was at its most painful height; and bull-dogs do not spring at the ox's muzzle more fiercely than those six men throttled each other.
Ye've no more idea of a straight line, Monty avic, than a crab wid dhrink taken. Monty. Sorry, but the flies were giving me gyp. Canadian dun. Flies? Say, but you greenhorns make me smile. Why, out West we got flies that Iron-grey. Och sure we've heard all about thim. 'Tis as big as bull-dogs they are; ivery time they bite you you lose a limb.

Honest, hard-working, peace-loving men though they were, when aroused they possessed the courage and tenacity of bull-dogs. They were aroused now, and they would carry on to the end, with a step as firm and relentless as the march of Time. Woe to whoever attempted to thwart them in their purpose! Wade's neighbor to the north, Dave Kelly, spoke up in his slow, nasal drawl.
A combination is about to be formed among the manufacturers, and prices will advance to $3.25. Yours respectfully, F.B. Combaway. This was news to me, so I opened the letter I had just received from home and read to him: "We have just got in a large lot of 'Blank' bull-dogs and you may cut prices to $2.65." "Well," said he, "what the devil does this man mean by sending me such a letter?"
Now, $2.85 was as well as any one could do, and we only had a margin of 10 per cent. to figure on. But I determined to cut a little, just for fun, and see what the upshot would be. So I said, "$2.85 is bottom everywhere, but I am going to make you a special price of $2.82 1/2." "Tom," said he turning to the desk, "What was that Shiverhim & Gaily man's price for bull-dogs?"
