Lincolnshire is the most uninteresting part of all England. It is frequently water-logged till late in the summer: invisible a part of the year, when it emerges it is mostly a dreary flat. Willoughby is a considerable village in this shire, situated about three miles and a half southeastward from Alford.
That not lying much out of her course, she hauled up for her; and on a nearer approach she appeared to be water-logged, by her lowness in the water, and the heavy way in which she rolled; that on getting close to her, the Mary Jane was hove to, and a boat lowered into the water, into which the first mate and a boat's crew got, and pulled on board her.
That, then, was what we struck on the mast-stump of a water-logged, sunken derelict! If our underhull plates are sprung, down we go to the bottom!" They waited, in dreadful anxiety, for the report of Eph from the region of the keel plates. They were far out to sea, and a submarine cannot carry a lifeboat! All now waited on Eph's word during the next few moments.
Beginning in the prow, it surged through the forecastle to the waist, where it reached a climax of fury. The French resisted stubbornly, and they had the advantage of numbers to encourage them. But for all their stubborn valour, they ended by being pressed back and back across the decks that were dangerously canted to starboard by the pull of the water-logged Arabella.
The position consisted of a series of water-logged shell holes, which were troubled considerably by low-flying aeroplanes. Battalion headquarters were in a pill-box known as Egypt House, which received very assiduous attention from the Boche gunners.
Well, I found out that day what keeps the grass green in Ireland. My Irish frieze and every thread on me were water-logged, yet the Irish lad, my driver, took the 'buckets-full' as a matter of course.
For the storm still rages, needing helm and sails to be looked after, while the inflow must be kept under in the hold. A terrible conflict it is, between man's strength and the elements, but short, and alas! to end in the defeat of the former. The Calypso is water-logged, will no longer obey her helm, and must surely sink.
It's strong evidence, in my opinion, that the people have been taken out of her, and that the boat, being water-logged, has been abandoned. Bail away, Walter. We shall soon free her from water, and then as soon as the sea goes down we shall haul her up on the raft, and see what we can do with her.
For some days all we knew was, that the ship was the Eagle, from Quebec, laden with timber, and that she had been six weeks very nearly in the condition we found her water-logged, with spars and sails carried away. The captain had died, and the lady we had rescued was his wife.
"How do you find it?" asked Benson. "Startling," replied Hal Hastings. "Yet nothing is happening to us," contended Eph Somers, somewhat shaky in his tones. "It's just thinking what might happen if we were to strike a water-logged old hull of some vessel, say." "Or collide with a blue-fish," suggested Hal, with a short, nervous laugh.
