Sin Sin Wa gently patted his knees. "She velly bad woman," he declared. "She no hate topside pidgin." "Don't talk!" shouted Kerry. "Fetch her!" Sin Sin Wa turned his hands palms upward. "Me no hate gotchee wifee," he murmured. Kerry took one pace forward. "Fetch her," he said; "or " He drew a pair of handcuffs from the pocket of his oilskin. "Velly bad luck," murmured Sin Sin Wa.
I was wearing the oilskin slicker and had pulled down the brim of my sou'wester to keep the sun from my eyes; therefore they had not recognized me before. And I, busy at the oars and looking over my shoulder only occasionally, had not recognized them. Now the recognition was mutual. Miss Colton spoke first. "Why, Victor!" she said, "it is " "What?" asked her companion.
A dozen times a day trifling emergencies will seem precisely to call for some little handy contrivance that would be just the thing, were it in the pack rather than at home. A disgorger does the business better than a pocket-knife; a pair of oilskin trousers turns the wet better than does kersey; a camp-stove will burn merrily in a rain lively enough to drown an open fire.

If only there was to have been a written answer, we might have met again! It would have been most interesting."

"You can't see a sign of a bed, or a blanket, or even leaves in a corner to tell where anybody laid down." "And outside of these few old oilskin rags that they use to wear in their business," added Giraffe, "and hung up on nails along this wall, there ain't anything to tell that they stayed here. Say, Thad, whatever do you think this shack could a been used for?"
I forgive him everything the whiskey raw on his breath the day I came aboard at Baltimore, his moroseness when sea and wind do not favour, his savagery to the men, his snarl and his sneer. On top the 'midship-house we got a ducking that makes me shiver to recall. I had dressed too hastily properly to fasten my oilskin about my neck, so that I was wet to the skin.
She took off the oilskin coat and laid it on the sand of the cave, took the things from the blanket and spread the two blankets out and folded them. As she moved about she saw that the bulls had turned slightly, attracted by her movements, but they shewed not the slightest sign of mind disturbance.
He jumped to his feet and ran to reconnoitre, for the library looked out through big French windows upon the lawn behind the house, and he knew that the pair of holiday makers would pass. There they were! What could the rain matter to them? Clad in high hunting boots and gleaming yellow oilskin coats, and with hunters' caps on their heads, they defied the weather.
