INsTALLMENT NINE Continued
Sir" said Barnabas, lone mo-
nentl Since you have been so
obhging as to describe a Buck, will
YOU tell me who and what in your
estimation is a gentleman?"
"A gentleman? Egad, sir must
I tell you that? No, I say l won't
the BOsun shall"
Hereupon the speakef faced sud-
denly about and raised his voice:
Aft there!" he beloved Pass the
word for the Bo'sun-I say where's
Bosun Jerry?"
Immediately upon these words
there came another roar surprising
" hoarse, deep and near at hand.
"Ay, ay, sir here 1 be, Cap'n," the
voice beloved back. Here 1 be,
sir. my helm hard a-starboard, stud
den sails set, and all a-drawing allow
and aloft, but making bad weather
on it on account o. these here
turner's and this here jury-mast o
mine, but I'll fetch up alongside IN
a couple O. tacks."
ATOW glancing in the direction OF
IN the voice, Barnabas perceived
a head and face that bObbed up and
down on the opposite side of the
hedge.
A red face it was, a jovial, good
humored face. lit up with quick,
bright eyes that twinkled from I'M
der a prodigiOus pair Of eyebrows;
a square honest face whose broad
good nature beamed out from a
mighty bush of curling whiskers
and pigtail, and was surmounted
by a shining, glazed hat.
Being come opposite to them, he
paused to mop at his red face with
a handkerchief of vivid hue, which
done. he touched the brim of the
glazed hat, and though separated
from them by no more than the
hedge and ditch, Immediately let
out another roar-for all the world
as though he had been hailing the
maintop of a seventy-four in a gale
of wind.
Here I be, Capnl" he beloved,
"studdin sails set an drawing, tho
obleeged to haul my wind dye see,
on account O. this here spar o. mine
a-running foul o. the turner's"
Having said the which, he ad-
vanced again with a heave to port
and a lurch to starboard very like
a ship in a heavy sea; this peculiar
ity of gait was explained as he hove
into fun view, for then Barnabas
saw that his left leg was gone from
the knee and had been replaced by
a wooden one.
DO'SUN," said the Captain, indi-
I'D eating Barnabas, with flap
of his empty sleeve. DO sun-favor
me, I say oblige me by explaining
to this young gentleman your opin-
ion of a gentleman say tell him
who you think is the First Gentle
man in Europe!"
The Bo'sun stared from BarnabaS
to the Captain and back again.
Begging your Honor's parding,"
said he, touching the brim of the
glazed hat, but surely nobody don't
need to be told that 'ere?"
1T would seem so, Jerry"
why then, Cap'n-since you AK
me, I should tell you-bold an free
like, as the First Gentleman in
Europe-ahl or anywhere else-was
Lord Nelson an your Honor"
