Two well-known yachtsmen, and good sailors to boot, saw the chance for additional fun, and accepted the invitation with alacrity. They set to work and knotted the little man so tightly that he yelled to them, for heaven's sake, to let up. The audience could restrain itself no longer with laughter. It was plainly to be recognized that the show was fast drawing to a close.
Morton had once been intimate with the baronet, but had given him up for many years as impracticable and hopeless, for which reason he was the more inclined to regard Richard's misdemeanour charitably, and to lay the faults of the son on the father; and thinking society to be the one thing requisite to the young man, he had introduced him to the people he knew in the island; among others to the Lady Judith Felle, a fair young dame, who introduced him to Lord Mountfalcon, a puissant nobleman; who introduced him to the yachtsmen beginning to congregate; so that in a few weeks he found himself in the centre of a brilliant company, and for the first time in his life tasted what it was to have free intercourse with his fellow-creatures of both sews.
Ladies strolled about beneath their parasols with correctly dressed yachtsmen, asking all sorts of absurd questions about the various boats that lay ready to take part in the various events. It was the day of the Hampton Yacht Club's regatta. Among the throng the Boy Scouts threaded their way, watching with interest the events as they were run off, one after the other.
Its numerous members are essentially wanderers upon the face of the earth that is the one distinguishing characteristic wherein they most widely differ from their fellow-men they are ceaseless travellers; mighty hunters in far-off lands; adventurous yachtsmen; eager explorers; with a small sprinkling of army and navy men.
Football is a winter game, and while it may be all right to practice in spring and autumn, the line is bound to be drawn somewhere, and why attempt to force it down the throats of cricketers, athletes, yachtsmen, and even lawn-tennis players, in the heart of summer?
"Well, that is settled and now I only want a crew and a captain fishermen. I will have no yachtsmen on my boat. I have had to do with yachtsmen, Captain Bontemps." "Oh, my faith," said the old fellow, "you will easily find a crew." "Yes, but I won't easily find a captain. I want you." The Captain laughed. "And how about La Belle Arlesienne?" asked he. "You must leave her behind you to be sold.
Once again FitzGerald chuckles at the morality of the "salwagers," and chuckles again at the expansiveness of the East Anglian "half a pint," which may mean anything between its nominal measure and the full holding capacity of the drinker which is as vague as "half a pint," itself. The Elsie was a yacht which belonged to a syndicate of Woodbridge yachtsmen, of whom Mr. Manby was another.
The rescuers came back with all the crew, save one the man who had challenged the old woman and revengefully burned her cabin. Rachel's body was buried where her house had stood, and the rock before unknown where the brig had broken long bore the name of Rachel's Curse. The black, pyramidal beacon, called Nix's Mate, is well known to yachtsmen, sailors, and excursionists in Boston harbor.
This day of slackened sails and a bright sleeping water kept the yachtsmen on land; there was a crowd to meet the morning boat. Foremost among those who stepped out of it was the yellow-haired Eckart, little suspecting what the sight of him signalled to me. I could scarcely greet him at all, for in him I perceived that my father had fully committed himself to his plot, and left me nothing to hope.
