21490We shall now conquer all our enemies; we shall succeed in all we undertake; with four good guns what enemy can stand against us? 21490 Well, Tom, what do you think about the matter?"

21472Can not our commander interfere?
21472Can you make her out, Ned? 21472 Come, Sally, what is it?"

21472Hot, do you call it?
21472How dare you oppose your opinion to mine, youngster?
21472How is Mr Shank?
21472How is sister Sally-- all right I hope?
21472I do n''t understand that; if we are not to hate our enemies, who and what are we to hate?
21472I thought, friend Sayd, that you were going on a hunting and trading expedition?
21472I wonder who he can be?
21472I wonder who it can come from?
21472In what direction do you propose to proceed?
21472Is Abdullah going to trade with the inhabitants of yonder village?
21472Is it about Ned? 21472 Is the gun all ready forward?"
21472Is there no hope for these poor people?
21472Is this the way you Arabs treat your followers?
21472Look out, Stone; what is the dhow about? 21472 Surely you have not joined company with these men- stealers?"
21472Then do you blame those who hoard up money?
21472What business have they to make slaves of their fellow- creatures?
21472What do you think now, Charley, of the strangers?
21472What does he say?
21472What has happened?
21472What is that?
21472What should have made you fancy I should have been otherwise?
21472What''s his name?
21472Where are your papers?
21472Where is Cox?
21472Where is Mr Garth?
21472Where is Ned?
21472Who can all these people be?
21472Who''s there?
21472Whom can it be from?
21472Why did n''t he come in and sit down until you were ready to go?
21472Why, is n''t he one of the slaver''s crew?
21472Why, where is it?
21472Why,said Ned to the lieutenant,"has uncle not written?"
21472You come from de` Ione,''massa?
21472You do n''t mean to say that our Ned is dead?
21472Your papa, Mary?
21472All ready there forward?"
21472Are you ready to acknowledge him as your little boy Chando?"
21472But how are you going to get back, young lady?"
21472Can you find my mother, that we may be together and be once more happy as we were before he was carried away to become a slave?"
21472Can you, however, assist me?"
21472Hab him gone in nudder ship?"
21472Had she came out to relieve the"Ione"?
21472Has he been found?
21472Have many of the poor fellows been saved?"
21472Have you run away from your ship?"
21472How came you to be with him?
21472I saw that the` Ione''had arrived and was to be paid off, so was looking out for you; but where is Ned?
21472I wonder how he can manage to spend his time all by himself?"
21472Is he coming back?"
21472O my young master, can you take me to him?
21472One of the first questions he put on his arrival was,"Have you told them, father, about poor Ned?"
21472Reeds flanked the opposite bank of the stream; should he be able to force his way through them?
21472She did not add,"I wonder what the poor old man can find so pleasant in his existence as to make him desire to live?"
21472Should they halt, how many would be alive in the morning?
21472The latter almost let his load drop in his agitation as he asked,"Is Baraka-- is my father still alive?
21472The lieutenant was right in his conjectures; in another minute a voice was heard shouting,"Dat you, Massa Pack an''Massa Ned?"
21472Was he your father?"
21472What can have delayed them?
21472What do you think of this young man?
21472What do you think, Sally?
21472What made you think of that, youngster?"
21472What would Aunt Sally say if I was to go back without you, Ned?"
21472Where am I?"
21472Where could he be all this time?
21472Where were the funds to come from?
21472Who shall I tell my uncle you are, sir?"
21472Would Mr Hanson and Charley discover him, or would they return without tidings of his fate?
21472Would Tom return with his son to Kamwawi, or would they accompany the English back to the coast?
21472You will think of me, Mary, with pity rather than scorn when I am gone?"
21472You''ll come and see me again some day, and bring another nice pudding, wo n''t you?"
21472Your aunt must be a rich woman to afford so dainty a dish for a poor man like me?"
21472do you come all this way alone merely to visit a wretched being like me?"
21472exclaimed Ned, when he heard the name;"that surely is the village to which Chando told us he belonged?"
21472had you a hand in saving the passenger?"
21472has n''t he come home with you?"
21472he shouted,"do n''t you know me?
21472must you go, little girl?
21472old Shank the miser?
21472or is Miss Simpkins married?
21472or is poor old Shank dead and not left enough to bury him, as I always said would be the case?"
21472what shall him do, what shall him do?"
21472where are you?"
23034And so,said I, when I got back to Kya,"dost thou in truth believe, beloved Ibrahim, that the devil dwells in those rocks of the sulphur stream?"
23034And your mother?
23034But, what of_ Monsieur le capitaine_, in the present instance?
23034Cider-- of course, corporal; what other sort of pop can starving wretches like us drink in Sary- loney?
23034Did you get my message?
23034Has the blood of last night unsettled your nerves and made you delirious? 23034 How was it, then,"exclaimed the commander,"that you fought under the Portuguese flag?"
23034Was one of your uncles a navy officer?
23034Why not, brother Theodore? 23034 Why?"
23034_ C''est une belle dame, notre vis à vis, n''est elle pas mon cher?_said he pointing to our patron saint opposite.
23034_ Cider_, captain?
23034_ Me_, lieutenant?
23034After a moment''s hesitation, he continued,--still pacing the apartment in his night linen,--"You do n''t like the English, do you, my boy?"
23034And do I prevent your embarkation, if you can find any Krooman willing to take you on board?
23034Are ye drunk?
23034But who, after the fall of Corporal Blunt, shall declare that there is a living man free from the lures of betrayal?
23034Can either of you perform this service?"
23034Can this wine have made you mad?"
23034Come into the house; where have you been?
23034Did he anticipate my effort to fly, and endeavor to save me from the double risk of crossing to the mainland, and of future provision for my comfort?
23034Did his friend,_ le Mongo_, intend to honor this draft?
23034Did you not come here to''blockade''New Sestros, with a brig and provisions for half a year?
23034First of all, he inquired what I wished to know?
23034Had I been treated with honor, respect and attention on my journey?
23034Had he purposely and honorably left me alone, in order to escape this scene of blood?
23034Had this wretch torn it from her head, as he imbrued his hands in her blood on that terrible night?
23034How many brothers had I?
23034I was their guest, and owed them no tribute or duties; and yet, had I not_ voluntarily_ lavished my presents upon the chiefs?
23034If the royal palace of Timbuctoo was of_ such_ a character,--"What,"said he,"were the dwellings of nobles and townsfolk?"
23034If you drink, will it not physic you?
23034Is n''t the water poison?
23034Is there hope for a nation which, in three thousand years, has hardly turned in its sleep?
23034Let us see if he is at home?"
23034May we not feel a_ spasm_ of regret at leaving even a prison?
23034Now is n''t that a delightful_ catalogue raisonné_ of arguments why women should love_ les mâtelots_?"
23034Perhaps you are no longer disposed to regard me as your chief?
23034Powers, passions, propensities, and even thoughts, could not be hidden from him;--and,"who dared try his skill?"
23034Presently he demanded whether I was alone?
23034Shall the regeneration of a continent be quicker than its ripening?
23034The boat was lowered; but who would man her?
23034The reader may ask why I did not burst the bond, and free myself at a word from a commerce with which I was disgusted?
23034Then, looking intently over my face and into the very depth of my eyes, he asked gently with a smile--"what was my name?"
23034Was I not generous?
23034Was it the warning-- as it was certainly the handwriting-- of Rafael?
23034Was my dwelling comfortable?
23034Were they warriors?
23034Were they"book- men?"
23034What delay would I make in Footha- Yallon?
23034What possible object or result could I gain by resistance amid the motley assemblage that surrounded me on the deck of the"CARA- BOBO?"
23034When animals lick it in the dry season, do they not die on the margin by scores?
23034Who was my father?
23034Who was my mother?
23034Why did I travel so far?
23034Will you promise?"
23034Would night_ never_ come?
23034Yet why should I scoff at poor Ali?
23034Yet, what British merchant does not know the traffic on which those bills are founded, and for whose support his wares are purchased?
23034You ai n''t afraid of_ cider_, are you?"
23034_ Hola!__ Messieurs_, shall we not make the most of new acquaintances when they may be so brief?"
23034_ Mais pourquoi, mon cher?_ why shall it be your last week?
23034_ Mais pourquoi, mon cher?_ why shall it be your last week?
23034at a moment''s notice, were we to obtain mats enough to carpet the five hundred yards of transit from the river to the house?
23034inquired Mesclet,"and where is he at present?"
23034mon cher_,"said I, as I followed the gold;"_ la fortune de guerre_ has many phases, you see; how do you like this one?
23034said the chief,"it is all there,--is it not?
23034was his reply,"and why have n''t you gone?"
23034yelled the Lieutenant, as the surgeon came up with the vociferous group:"put us aboard and be paid, or I''ll----?"
12428And first, Are there no strangers, whom we oppress? 12428 But necessity is pretended, the name under which every enormity is attempted to be justified; and after all, What is the necessity?
12428Let vacant bards display their boasted woes; Shall I the mockery of grief display? 12428 When the grim lion urg''d his cruel chase, When the stern panther sought his midnight prey, What fate reserv''d me for this Christian race?
12428Why then am I devoid of all to live That manly comforts to a man can give? 12428 And have they not the same sensibility? 12428 And what could the commitee have done without the parliamentary aid of Mr. Wilberforce? 12428 And what man, seeing this, And having human feelings, does not blush And hang his head to think himself a man? 12428 And what object is that, which first obtrudes itself upon our sight? 12428 And whither shall we go now? 12428 And yet what would my worthy friend have said, if in this first instance I had opposed him? 12428 Are not our feelings usually affected according to the situation, or the magnitude, or the importance of these? 12428 Are they not men as well as we? 12428 Are they not more or less elevated, again, as we have found it more or less considerable in extent? 12428 But are we relieved even here from afflicting spectacles? 12428 But how can we be said to love our brethren, who bring, or, for selfish ends, keep them, in bondage? 12428 But how would every such successive improvement of their condition operate, but to bring them nearer to the state of freemen? 12428 But let us leave the cries of this unfortunate woman, and hasten into another district:--And what do we first see here? 12428 But there the question still recurred,Are these things true?"
12428But were no others lost besides the one hundred and twenty and the twelve?
12428But what then, say these sincere worshippers of mammon?
12428But why did he not give his own sentiments boldly to the world on this great question?
12428But why, when our eyelids are but just closed, do we find ourselves thus suddenly awakened?
12428But would he say that these were all he had lost in that voyage?
12428By giving birth to that misery themselves, do they not become abandoned?
12428Can those have nothing to answer for, who separate the faithful ties which nature and religion have created?
12428Did the inquiry then before the privy council prove a loss of time?
12428Did your slaves ever complain to you of their unhappiness amidst their native woods and deserts?
12428Do the moral feelings of those persons escape without injury, whose hearts are hardened?
12428Do we act consistently with this noble principle, who lay such heavy burthens on our fellow- creatures?
12428Does one man obtain a victory over his corrupt affections?
12428For if he, who makes the virtuous attempt, should be prevented by death from succeeding in it, can he not speak, though in the tomb?
12428For if, to avoid egotism, I should write, as many have done, in the third person, what would this profit me?
12428For in considerations of this kind, are we not usually influenced by circumstances?
12428For what was more natural than that William Dillwyn, who was born and who had resided long in America, should have connections there?
12428For what, for example, could I myself have done if I had not derived so much assistance from the commitee?
12428Have not these unfortunate Africans, who meet with the same cruel fate, the same right?
12428Have they not enabled them to state that this trade began in piracy, and that it was continued upon the principles of force?
12428Have we navigated and conquered to save, to civilize, and to instruct; or to oppress, to plunder, and to destroy?
12428He asked me, first, whether, if the slaves were emancipated, there would not be much confusion in the islands?
12428How long shall we continue a practice which policy rejects, justice condemns, and piety revolts at?"
12428How shall I describe their feelings, as exposed to all the personal indignities, which lawless appetite or brutal passion may suggest?
12428How shall I give an idea of their agony, when under various punishments and tortures for their reputed crimes?
12428I questioned whether some thousand pounds would not be necessary, and from whence was such a sum to come?
12428In a twelvemonth, then, what must be the proportion of the dead?
12428In seeing misery stalk daily over the land, do not all become insensibly hardened?
12428In the case of such an event large funds also would be wanted, and who so proper to procure and manage them as these?
12428Is no injustice manifest in the land, where the prince, unfaithful to his duty, seizes his innocent subjects, and sells them for slaves?
12428Is there no crime in perpetuating these evils among their innocent offspring?
12428Is there no injustice in forcing men to labour without wages?
12428Not one of the cases had yet been pleaded on the broad ground,"Whether an African slave coming into England became free?"
12428Or can the Spirit of God, by which we have always professed to be led, be the author of those oppressive and unrighteous measures?
12428Ormond, after having talked with him some time, said,"Well, then, you believe Peter Green was actually murdered?"
12428Shall foreign plagues infest this teeming land, And more than sea- born monsters plough the main?
12428Ships were going occasionally from the port of London to Africa, and why could I not get on board them and examine for myself?
12428Soon after this there was a general cry of"Will you take me too?"
12428The great question was, what was I to do?
12428The question was-"Whether a slave, by coming into England, became free?"
12428The whole country, he said, had petitioned; and was it any satisfaction to the country to be told, that the commitee of privy council were inquiring?
12428Then what is man?
12428They would have decried the policy of the measure of the abolition;--and where had it been proved?
12428They would have demanded a reverse of it; and might they not, in cooler moments, have succeeded?
12428This work must be a work of many; and who so proper to assist in it as they, who had before so honourably laboured in it?
12428Thus,"And what have ye to do with me O Tyre and Sidon, and all the coasts of Palestine?
12428To the latter, he proposed the following:"Anne liceat Invitos in Servitutem dare?"
12428To what end do we profess a religion whose dictates we so flagrantly violate?
12428Was he not then one of the very persons, whom I had so long been seeking, but in vain?
12428We have no Slaves at home-- then why abroad?
12428Were you not made miserable by your debased situation there?
12428What is that sudden rustling among the leaves?
12428What is the meaning of the noise around us, of the trampling of people''s feet, of the rustling of the bow, the quiver, and the lance?
12428What savage race protects this impious gain?
12428What would be the consequence?
12428Where are those rights?
12428Where else is the temper subject to such frequent irritation, or passion to such little control?
12428Wherefore have we that pattern of goodness and humanity, if we refuse to follow it?
12428Who hath stamped upon them so sacred a character as to silence mine?"
12428Who is he, that just now started across the narrow pathway, as if afraid of a human face?
12428Who is that wretched woman, whom we discover under that noble tree, wringing her hands, and beating her breast, as if in the agonies of despair?
12428Who knew any thing of what was doing by the commitee of privy council, or what progress they were making?
12428Why are those persons flying from our approach, and hiding themselves in yon darkest thicket?
12428Why did he refuse to give it?
12428Will not his works still breathe his sentiments upon it?
12428Will not the blessings which we have abused loudly testify against us?
12428Will not the blood which we have shed cry from the ground for vengeance upon our sins?"
12428have you laugh your fill?
12428or,"Is it right to make slaves of others against their will?"
12428what is there, in the infinite abuses of society, which does not shock them?
10611But who are you, who pretend to judge[103] of another man''s happiness? 10611 But why then,"replies the honest African,"do they suffer this?
10611Quid tu me verò libertate territas? 10611 _ Imagination!_ who can sing thy force, Or who describe the swiftness of thy course?
10611--But can_ laws_ alter the nature of vice?
10611--But what is that which strikes their ears?
1061123,"Can the à � thiopian change his colour, or the leopard his spots?"
10611And here, what a dreadful argument presents itself against you_ receivers_?
10611And indeed, how can it be expected that they should?
10611And is this wonderful, when, you_ receivers_ depress their senses by hunger?
10611And who is there, that would not have done the same thing, in the same situation?
10611And why are these dismal cries in vain?"
10611Are they not names, assumed either from_ injury_ or_ ambition_?"
10611But can they be well- disposed to their oppressors?
10611But do we mention punishment?
10611But do you allude to that execrable code, that_ authorises murder_?
10611But for what purpose is the punishment applied?
10611But how does the_ slave_ differ from his_ master_, but by_ chance_?
10611But how shall we attempt to ascertain it?
10611But if the_ offending_ party inflicted slavery on the persons of the vanquished, by what right did they inflict it?
10611But in what does this superiour happiness consist?
10611But what do you say to that long catalogue of offences, which you punish, and of which no people but yourselves take cognizance at all?
10611But what is this to you_ receivers_?
10611But what shall we say to the_ hypothesis_?
10611But which are we to believe on the occasion?
10611But who are you, that have this exclusive charter of trading in the liberties of mankind?
10611But who are you, that thus take into slavery so many people?
10611But why this unusual mirth, if their departed brother has left an happy place?
10611Can the southern winds convey them to the ear of Britain?
10611Did your slaves ever complain to you of their unhappiness, amidst their native woods and desarts?
10611Do we allude to that awful day, which shall surely come, when the master shall behold his murdered negroe face to face?
10611Do we allude to that punishment, which shall be inflicted on men as individuals, in a future life?
10611Do you call them obstinate then, because they refuse your favours?
10611Do you call them ungrateful, because they make you this return?
10611Do you live in_ Spain_, or in_ France_, or in_ Britain_?
10611Do you not see the tears that now trickle down my cheeks?
10611Do you thus judge from your own constitution and frame?
10611Does a man set fire to an house, for the purpose of rescuing the inhabitants from the flames?
10611Does he defend those therefore, whom he invades at discretion with the sword?
10611Does he protect the property of those, whose houses and effects he consigns at discretion to the flames?
10611For has he no pleasure in the thought, that he lives in his_ own country_, and among his relations and friends?
10611For how must they detest the very name of_ Christians_, when you_ Christians_ are deformed by so many and dreadful vices?
10611For how shamefully must these unfortunate people have been oppressed?
10611For if this is the mode to be adopted in literary disputes, what writer can be safe?
10611For if this restraining principle be as powerful as it is imagined, why does not the general conduct of men afford us a better picture?
10611For what is it that awakens the abilities of men, and distinguishes them from the common herd?
10611Had there been a necessity, where had the wretched captive survived to be broken with chains and servitude?
10611Have the unfortunate_ convicts_ been guilty of injury to_ you_?
10611Have the wretched Africans formally resigned their freedom?
10611Have they broken_ your_ treaties?
10611Have they carried_ your_ wives and children into slavery, that_ you_ should thus retaliate?
10611Have they offended_ you_ even by word or gesture?
10611Have they plundered_ your_ ships?
10611Have you any other claim upon their obedience, than that of force?
10611Have you not heard me sigh, while we have been talking?
10611Hence Polybius;"What must they,( the Mantinenses) suffer, to receive the punishment they deserve?
10611How could his design have been accomplished?
10611How many have leaped into the sea?
10611How many have pined to death, that, even at the expence of their lives, they might fly from your_ benevolence_?
10611How must they detest that system of religion, which appears to resist the natural rights of men, and to give a sanction to brutality and murder?
10611How then shall we attempt to ascertain it?
10611How then shall we begin the refutation?
10611How then shall we begin?
10611Is it applied then, that others may be deterred from the same proceedings, and that crimes may become less frequent?
10611Is it applied to amend the manners of the criminal, and thus render him a better subject?
10611Is it not frequently the hope of temporary honours, or a lasting fame?
10611Is it not often the amiable hope of becoming serviceable to individuals, or the state?
10611Is it not often the hope of riches, or of power?
10611Now what must we justly conclude from such a supposition?
10611Now, which of these are we to believe on the occasion?
10611Or if he has been taken from the care of an indulgent master, who consulted his pleasures, and administered to his wants?
10611Or that he might taste the charms of liberty with_ a greater relish_?
10611Or who is there, that will not be deterred from taking up his pen in the cause of virtue?
10611Or, do we allude to that punishment, which may be inflicted on them here, as members of a wicked community?
10611Or, rather, let me ask, did they ever cease complaining of their condition under you their lordly masters?
10611Shall we enumerate the many important services, that they rendered both to the individuals and the community, under whom they lived?
10611Shall we enumerate the many instances of fidelity, patience, or valour, that are recorded of the_ servile_ race?
10611Shall we look into the various climates of the earth, see the colour that generally prevails in the inhabitants of each, and apply the rule?
10611Shall we say with Seneca, who saw many of the slaves in question,"What is a_ knight_, or a_ libertine_, or a_ slave_?
10611That he can never be_ sold_ as a beast?
10611That he can not even be struck_ with impunity_?
10611That he can speak his mind_ without the fear of the lash_?
10611That he is actually_ free_, and that his children will be the same?
10611That state which each man, under the guidance of his maker, forms for himself, and not one man for another?
10611The first point, that occurs to be ascertained, is,"What part of the skin is the seat of colour?"
10611This is generally true: but would any one of them make himself a_ slave_ for years, that he might run the chance of the pleasures of_ manumission_?
10611Those, who endeavour to dress_ vice_ in the habit of_ virtue_, or those, who derive their opinion from their own feelings?
10611What answer do you make to this?
10611What arguments can they possibly bring in their defence?
10611What can possibly be the cause?
10611What is he to do in such a trying situation?
10611What is_ Christianity_, but a system of_ murder_ and_ oppression_?
10611What then must be their sufferings, to be forced for ever from their country, which includes them all?
10611What treaty of empire can they produce, by which their innocent victims ever resigned to them the least portion of their_ liberty_?
10611What would the reader have thought on the occasion?
10611When a train of mutilated slaves shall be brought against him?
10611When did He say, that you should have the privilege of selling others, and that others should not have the privilege of selling you?
10611When did nature, or rather the Author of nature, make so partial a distinction between you and them?
10611When he shall stand confounded and abashed?
10611Where do you live yourself?
10611Where is the military man, whose ears have been slit, whose limbs have been mutilated, or whose eyes have been beaten out?
10611Which makes them motionless in an instant?
10611Who is there, that has once known the charms of liberty; that would not fly from despotism?
10611Why are her children wrested from her, to administer to the luxuries and greatness of those whom they never offended?
10611Why do you kill them with fatigue?
10611Why do you not measure them here by the same standard?
10611Why do you sentence them to death?
10611Why does the whip deform their bodies, or the knife their limbs?
10611Why is Africa a scene of blood and desolation?
10611Why keep you your daily and nightly watches?
10611Why then do you load them with chains?
10611Will you be content to live in the colonies, and you shall have the half of every week entirely to yourselves?
10611Would he have believed the fact?
10611Would you not resist it with a safe conscience?
10611can the most credulous believe it?
10611do you thus judge from your own feelings?
10611or will you choose to return to your miserable, wretched country?"
10611that tempts an unoffended person to kill the slave, that abhors and flies your service?
10611to a death, infinitely more excruciating than that from which you so kindly saved them?
10611we reply again,"can the cries and groans, with which the air now trembles, be heard across this extensive continent?
4675Africa? 4675 And do you remember his brother, Helen?"
4675And have you suspected nothing since your vessel has been here?
4675And how old are you, my dear?
4675And if I did, Maud, what wrong is that to thee? 4675 And now where is this same Gulielmo?"
4675And of good family?
4675And what does your father, maiden?
4675And what for, cousin Helen?
4675And what is that?
4675And what is your name?
4675And you never thought of fleeing to another country with a lover, on a fleet courser?
4675And your mother?
4675Answer me, was he injured, for I see you are not?
4675Are they loaded, Leonard?
4675Art sick, cousin Helen?
4675Art thou a student of the art which is our country''s pride?
4675Ay, sir,added Captain Bramble, somewhat pertly,"do you find any objection to that name?
4675Beau sire,replied the abbot,"do you know what the girl is worth?"
4675Bother it, how can I tell?
4675But what do you bring up so sudden for? 4675 But what was it made your voice and the sound of your name affect me so this morning?
4675But where is his vessel? 4675 But why do you speak of those days?"
4675But, Hal, our fireman-- did you not follow him?
4675But, Leonard, where is my brother, and why is it necessary to remove these badges of shame by stealth? 4675 But, mother--""Well, my child?"
4675By what authority do you give such an order as that, Captain Bramble?
4675Captain Ratlin is very friendly to you, I suppose, Maud?
4675Charles Bramble?
4675Despise them? 4675 Did I?"
4675Did you?
4675Do I, mother?
4675Do you despise the firemen now, May?
4675Do you forgive my rudeness?
4675Do you not love that white- faced girl you brought hither?
4675Do you not think we could save him?
4675Do you promise me this, Captain Bramble?
4675Do you remember Robert Bramble then?
4675Does not my brother know that you are here on this errand, Leonard?
4675File them off? 4675 Fortunate, my dear?
4675Has he not brought you presents across the ocean?
4675Has he wronged you?
4675Has he?
4675Have I anything to gain by a lie?
4675Heard it? 4675 Here, see you not those bright, silver- like scales through the leaves?"
4675How comes it that you know of this? 4675 How is this?"
4675How is this?
4675How knew you of that?
4675How many do they number?
4675How was that matter, Bill?
4675How would you like another?
4675How,--do not trifle with me,--what is this which you are telling me?
4675I hope so, sir, only you must not let master Robert know that I liberated you from these ruffles, sir, will you, master Charles?
4675I trust there is no danger in accepting the assistance that the ship appears willing to give?
4675In Heaven''s name, Leonard, what do you mean by such an assertion?
4675In which direction?
4675Is he capable of this?
4675Is it customary for traders upon these seas to go so thoroughly armed, Captain Ratlin?
4675Is it far from here?
4675Is this the reward,he said, at length,"of all my weary toil?"
4675It was n''t father or mother that saw it?
4675Maud, Maud, what have you done?
4675Maud,he said, in a low, but reproachful tone,"is it you who have betrayed us?"
4675May I not hope that years of fond attachment, years of continued assiduity, may yet outweigh your indifference, Miss Huntington?
4675May, you have not asked me if I saw the mysterious fireman last night?
4675Mother, how long before we shall turn our face towards England?
4675Mother, if they find Captain Ratlin guilty, what can they, what will they do with him?
4675My child,said he,"how is it that you are pasturing your cow on the Sabbath?
4675My safety, lady? 4675 Not like him, my child?"
4675Now, Bill, what do you think I did dream?
4675Of course Helen Huntington knows nothing of this development yet, Leonard?
4675Of the merchant service, I presume?
4675Poor, poor girl, what shall we say to your father?
4675Prisoner,said the judge,"do you recollect having done this man a severe and almost fatal harm in the late conflict?"
4675See, see,said the daughter, at that moment,"what is that?"
4675Shall a few wine- warmed words thus set you all agog, my merry men? 4675 So soon?
4675So, you have broken off all connection with this business, and have settled your accounts with Don Leonardo, have you not?
4675Suppose, for instance, that I do not like Captain Bramble, then is he a fitting match for me?
4675Suspect?
4675That is just what I am going to tell you, sir; and you see, master Charles--"Master Charles,--Charles,--why do you call me that name?
4675The duel?
4675Then you do n''t remember me?
4675Was he?
4675Was it cousin Helen?
4675Well, Leonard Hust,said Charles Bramble,"what has brought yon here so clothed in mystery?
4675Well, sir, what have you to offer?
4675Well, where, and when; and under what circumstances?
4675What ails you, Maud-- what can we do for you?
4675What cheer brings thou from Rome, my gallant lad''? 4675 What is in the wind, Leonard, now?
4675What lubberly trick is this?
4675What means this cursed din?
4675What means this tumult?
4675What shall we do, sir, now that master Charles has turned up again?
4675What think you, Bill, of this present vocation, eh?
4675What''s that to me?
4675When do you sail, captain?
4675When will you guide me and a party of my people thither?
4675Where we met?
4675Where? 4675 Whereaway?"
4675Who are you?
4675Who could have possibly foreseen this strange, this opportune meeting?
4675Who is she?
4675Who?
4675Whom?
4675Why do you muse so long and lonely, my child?
4675Why wait we?
4675Why will you join such a set of rowdies, Hal? 4675 Why, is he not gentlemanly?"
4675Why, look ye, messmates, arnt you satisfied so long as the articles you signed are kept by captain and crew?
4675Why, who in the world are you?
4675Why, yes, as to that matter; but where are we bound, Bill?
4675Will it be asking too much, madam, to request a seat by your fire for myself and little girl for a few moments? 4675 Will you not permit me at least to thank you?"
4675Would you like a little milk?
4675You are not long arrived, Captain Ratlin?
4675You have lost one lover?
4675You have no fears?
4675You will speak truly in what you tell me, my good girl?
4675Ah, sir, why not turn your talents to a more fitting purpose?
4675And how daintily she floats upon the waters?"
4675And now, how fares the gentle maid whom I so long to see?"
4675And what maiden can compare with her in loveliness?"
4675And who so blithe as he I pray?
4675Art well, my good fellow?"
4675But of thyself, what speed?
4675But what do you propose to reveal to me?
4675But why do you look so pale, Helen?"
4675Could he have deceived the girl?
4675Could he have permitted such a result, had he been in Robert''s place?
4675Could it have been fancy?
4675Did I promise thee love?"
4675Dost thou deem our spirits dead to all generous emotion?
4675Had not she been accustomed to attention from earliest girlhood, and from the most polished men?
4675Has any one been slandering the firemen?
4675Have either of you been hurt?"
4675Have the court scented me out?"
4675How darest thou thus spoil good cheer?"
4675How know you beyond all cavil, Leonard?"
4675I do n''t see how he could do such a thing, do you, Charley?"
4675Is it likely that two such persons as I have considered should be joined by intimate friendship?
4675Know you not that it is forbidden, and that you are in danger of imprisonment?"
4675O, God, must the roar of that terrible whirlpool ring in my ears forever?"
4675O, May, will you forgive me?
4675Perchance the maid whom thou hast pictured here, might interpose her pretty face to spoil so fair a plan?"
4675Something touching this Captain Ratlin?"
4675Take up the papers any morning, and what will you find under the Williamsburgh head?
4675Tell me, sir, who is that man?"
4675Tell me, where is Robert?"
4675Trust?--what was the trust he held?
4675We ask, was it guilt that made him act thus?
4675What is that protruding from your pocket?"
4675What mattered it to her that he was nameless, a wanderer, a slaver?
4675What use in longer adherence to home and the lowly shepherd''s lot?
4675What was it that had so strangely, so suddenly sacrificed him in the midst of his fell intent?
4675What would your father say if he should see it?"
4675Where shall we meet?"
4675Where was he?
4675Who am I?
4675Who is she?
4675Why, why can you not love me?"
4675You are an English officer, agent of your government, and sent here to suppress this vile traffic?"
4675You know where his vessel lies?"
4675can such barriers as these be broken down by love?
4675continued the latter,"or does love inspire the skill which thou hast here displayed?"
4675cried the goldsmith,"has no gallant been tempted by your bright eyes to buy your liberty, as I bought mine of the king?"
4675do you then consider that worth your anxiety?"
4675exclaimed the prisoner aloud, as though he could bear this intensity of feeling no longer,"who is this man?"
4675have I ever wronged you or your father?"
4675murmured Gaspar, to himself,"heard one ever such elegant discourse?"
4675repeated Captain Bramble,"what trick is this?"
4675repeated the gentle being by his side,"what land?"
4675said Miss Hetty, fluttered,"who can it be that wants to see me at this hour?"
4675she said, interrupting herself,"I have been looking at the captain''s ship, yonder; is she not a noble craft?
4675such were the thoughts which she murmured,"shall I be able to support life forever removed from thee?
4675that is indeed an inhospitable shore; can we land there?"
4675was it possible he could have been mistaken?
4675what sound is that?"
4675what''s that?"
4675where?"
4675will you-- will you not forgive me?"
21070And did you succeed in getting everybody ashore safely?
21070And pray, Ama, what is the nature of these Customs under your father''s beneficent rule?
21070And supposin''I refuse?
21070And was it from him, sir, that you also obtained the information upon the strength of which you determined upon this expedition?
21070And who may you be, my friend, that you find it necessary to ask such a question? 21070 And, if it comes to that, why are the others firing, down by the boats?"
21070Are we going to have a hurricane?
21070Are we quite ready to go to sea, Mr Hoskins?
21070Are you coward enough to revenge yourself upon a mere lad like myself? 21070 But what about the barracoon which you destroyed to- day, sir?"
21070But whither are you taking me? 21070 Can not I always remain with you?"
21070Cut adrift?
21070D''ye see that, Mr Fortescue?
21070Dark mass?
21070Feeling bad, old chap?
21070He lib for die now; what he want to tell me lie for? 21070 He promised you that, did he?
21070Hear anything?
21070Hear that, Silas? 21070 How did you discover that the ship was adrift?
21070How far away is she?
21070How shall I deal with you? 21070 I presoom, sir, it''s another boat job, eh?
21070I say, is n''t this heat awful? 21070 I suppose it is not, by any chance, the craft which we are after, which has slipped out of the river in the darkness, eh?"
21070It is thirsty work sitting there and grilling in the sun, is it not, lads?
21070Jack,I called feebly,"you might bring me a drink presently, when you have finished with Nugent, will you?
21070Like them?
21070Might not that be the place from which those fellows draw their supplies of slaves?
21070No mistake about that, eh? 21070 Oh, come, I say, Leroy, you surely do n''t mean to insinuate that you doubt my word, do you?"
21070Oh, indeed,I replied, still affecting drowsiness;"what for?
21070Sar, you lib for carry dem quinine powder dat dem doctor sarve out dis morning?
21070That you, Mr Futtock?
21070The ship, sir?
21070Then what is going to happen?
21070Then who is to say that I shall not be still included in the batch?
21070There, do n''t ye see it, Mr Nugent, stretchin''athwart the back of the spit? 21070 Too far off for identification purposes, eh, Mr Fortescue?"
21070Waal,exclaimed the Yankee skipper, when I at length refolded and handed the papers back to him,"are ye satisfied, stranger?"
21070Well, Mr Fortescue, what do you make of her?
21070Well, Tommy,I said,"what was old Marline blazing away at?
21070Well, d''ye see anything?
21070Well, doc.,he exclaimed cheerily,"how have things been going with you to- day?"
21070What does this mean, monsieur?
21070What is the cause of it? 21070 What the dickens should I know about her?
21070What''s the matter with poor Nugent?
21070When did he tell you this, Cupid?
21070Where are Mr Fortescue and Mr Copplestone?
21070Where away?
21070Where do you wish to go, Dick?
21070Whereabout is he, and how far off, do you reckon?
21070Whereabout is she, Dixon?
21070Who goes there?
21070Why, you surely do n''t mean to say that Murdoch has been bowled over, too, do you?
21070_ Cut adrift_? 21070 _ I_?"
21070_ Must_ we part, Dick?
21070And how was I to cure him?
21070And just see if you can find us a biscuit or two and some butter, will ye, you black angel?
21070And then what was to become of poor Ama, my gentle and loving companion?
21070And then what were we to do?
21070And what d''ye want, anyway, now that yew''re here, and be hanged to ye?"
21070And what has become of all the wind?
21070And what of the_ Dolphin_ and her crew?
21070And where is Senor Morillo?
21070And why?
21070And yew''ll have to find her afore yew can fight for her, wo n''t yew, sonny?
21070And you want a bath, do you?
21070And-- I suppose-- that I may take it for granted that--""That you will make one of the` pleasure- party''?"
21070And-- talking of sharks-- have you noticed how often we have seen the beggars following us since we have been in this ship?
21070Besides, do you think_ I_ would allow any one to hurt you?
21070Besides, if you should happen to be killed, what would become of us poor midshipmen?"
21070But I suppose a fellow is not obliged to watch them, is he?
21070But I take it that you did not come aboard here to discuss that matter with me?"
21070But what about yourself?
21070But what right have they to dictate to other nations, to say you shall do this, and shall not do that?
21070But where do you propose to take me, Ama?"
21070But where on earth have you sprung from?
21070But whither were we bound; of what tribe or nation were the negroes who manned the canoe; and how had I come to be among them?
21070But why_ here_ particularly?
21070But will you not step in out of the sun?"
21070But, tell me, Ama, where do the victims come from, and how many of them are usually sacrificed?"
21070Considering whether you should attempt to swim across to the_ Gadfly_?"
21070Could you distinguish the features of any of the people in the boat?"
21070D''ye see anything of her?"
21070D''ye see that there flag up there?
21070D''ye see them handsome barkers of mine?"
21070Did he tell you where the cauffle was coming from, and which way?"
21070Did you catch the words?
21070Did you feel her cables parting?"
21070Did you get that hurt in the fight with the English?"
21070Do you believe that the fellow is telling the truth, Cupid?"
21070Do you care to increase my obligation to you by stating why your captain has such a-- prejudice, shall we call it, against British naval officers?"
21070Do you see her, sir?"
21070Do you think you will be able to find the gig, Cupid?"
21070Does it not appear so to you?"
21070Have you any idea?"
21070He no want debbil to come after him and say,` Hi, you M''Pandala, why you tell dem white men lie about slabe cauffle comin''down to de coas''?
21070How are we to ascertain the precise moment at which to expect the arrival of the slave- dealers?
21070How are you feeling, Nugent?
21070How have things gone with you, and where are the others?"
21070How the mischief could you possibly be cut adrift from where you were anchored; and by whom?
21070How was I to undeceive her; how make her understand the absolute impossibility of such a thing?
21070I exclaimed excitedly to Favart, pointing at the same moment across the water--"do you see that cloud of dust yonder?
21070I have taken it upon myself to turn out Monsieur Fortescue to see whether he can tell us anything about her?"
21070I s''pose the mercury bag have n''t sprung a leak, by no chance, have it?
21070I say, I suppose we have n''t made a mistake in our reckoning, and run down on to the Line unbeknownst, have we?"
21070I suppose we ought to go fully armed?"
21070If so, what was to be my ultimate fate?
21070If this were the case, what, I asked myself, was she likely to be?
21070Is he too ill, think you, to talk business?
21070Is it permissible to inquire how you, a British officer, come to be adrift, quite alone, in a boat, in the middle of the Atlantic?"
21070Is it that the place is so strongly fortified that they are confident of our inability to take it?
21070Is the glass droppin''at all?"
21070Is the stranger far enough out of the river to enable her to get clear away, think ye?"
21070Is there anything wrong?"
21070Is there such a thing knocking about anywhere here in the tent, I wonder?"
21070Just step aft to the skylight, Mr Fortescue, and see what the time is, will ye?
21070Neither of us said anything, however, until Marcel took the glass from his eye, when, seeing Leroy, he said:"What d''ye think of her, monsieur?
21070No, I do n''t quite see--""Do you not, sir?"
21070Now what are the other boats about that they have not seen her?
21070Now, if yew was only lucky enough to fall in with_ her_, stranger, I guess she''d be a prize worth havin'', eh?"
21070Now, the question is, What are we to do with regard to our unknown friend out yonder?
21070Now, the question is: What is to be done with you?
21070Or is there something else at the back of it all, of which we have not yet got an inkling?"
21070Pray, monsieur, where did you come from; and are there any more of you?"
21070Savvey?
21070So that affair came off all right, eh?
21070So, if you won''come in an''have a drink, take your ugly- lookin''mug out o''the daylight, d''ye hear?"
21070Supposin''I was to report this outrage to my Gover''ment, what d''ye suppose would happen?
21070Surely Mr Purchase can not have shifted his berth, for any reason?
21070Surely that can not be the craft that we are after?
21070Tell me, now, how long hast thou been like this?"
21070Then how could you let us know when to expect the beggars?"
21070Then, suddenly changing his tune, as he followed me out on deck and saw me glance round, he remarked:"Purty ship, ai n''t she?
21070Then, turning to me, he demanded:"Who''s been makin''a fool of ye this time, stranger?"
21070To the gate?
21070Well, what do you want us to do?"
21070Well, you know, you''ve got to prove what you say afore you can do anything, have n''t ye?"
21070Were they, or were they not, imaginary?
21070Wha''d''you mean, anyway, by comin''here and disturbin''gen''lemen when they''re busy?
21070What about striking two bells, sir?
21070What are your hurts?"
21070What d''ye mean, Mr Fortescue?"
21070What did you think of doing when the time comes for us to part?"
21070What have you been doing over the side?
21070What is your own opinion?"
21070What more could any reasonable individual desire?
21070What right have yew to shoot at a ship flyin''the galorious Stars and Stripes?
21070What sort of a craft is she; and how far off?"
21070What was about to happen?
21070What was the row with Nugent?"
21070What''s the matter?"
21070When is the cauffle expected to arrive?"
21070Where are you, I say?
21070Where are you, Mr Perry?"
21070Where is the carpenter?
21070Who and what is he?"
21070Who are they that they should presume to thrust their opinions down the throats of other people?
21070Why d''ye ask the question, sir?
21070Will you swear that, or will you die?"
21070Will you take me with you; or must I go back to face a cruel and lingering death?"
21070Yet what was to become of her?
21070You are sure you will not come down?
21070You heard that bell?"
21070You see the force of my argument, I am sure, Monsieur Favart?"
21070You surely do not intend to insinuate that any one of the ship''s company--?"
21070did you hear_ that_, then, sir?"
21070exclaimed Ama,"do you hear that, Dick?
21070exclaimed the skipper, stopping short and staring at me as though he had seen a ghost--"is it possible?
21070he called;"what is it?"
21070is that Fortescue?
21070reiterated Nugent;"what dark mass d''ye mean?
21070remarked I, trying to look as though I knew all about it;"and of what did thy breakfast consist?"
21070what has happened that I see nobody about?
21070what has happened to the barometer?"
21070where are you?
21070who is it?
21070why was the spray from the surf flying so much higher in one particular spot than elsewhere?
8000''And turkeys?'' 8000 ''Does the father go first?''
8000''What do you pay for your tea and sugar here?'' 8000 ''Where is your husband, my good woman?''
8000''Will yere Arn''r take a sate?'' 8000 During that time has there been an illegitimate child born there?"
8000During that time have you known of any instance of an illegitimate child being born in the village of the Claddagh?
8000Have there been here many illegitimate children?
8000Have you ever known of any such case in Galway?
8000Have you much crime here?
8000How long have you been in charge of the Claddagh village?
8000How long have you been on duty here?
8000How long have you been on duty in Galway?
8000How,says the same author,"can the Chinese"Regard the English in any other light than wholesale smugglers and wholesale dealers in poison?
8000I visited the factories that used to support 200 men with their families, and how many men did I find at work? 8000 Now, what are the pursuits, the dwelling- houses, and the habits of these poor wretches?
8000What do you mean by being reared up?
8000What,it asks,"Will follow?
8000[ 209] Why is it that the king is enabled to do these things? 8000 ''Why do you cry?'' 8000 *** And protection against whom? 8000 *** Can it be there are two of them? 8000 ***** Are we then to adopt a system of measures tending to the injury of the people of England? 8000 115''Is this system of eviction,''said I to the driver, pointing to a small cluster of unroofed cabins we were passing at the moment,''good or bad?''
8000Admitting that the grain and flour trade were thus centralized, what would be the effect of a succession of large crops, or even of a single one?
8000Admitting, for a moment, that such a system existed, what would be the remedy?
8000And how do they effect the fall?
8000And what must be the verdict of future generations, as they peruse the history of these wrongs and outrages?
8000And yet, even now, the_ Times_ asks the question--"How are the people to be fed and employed?
8000Are Irishmen inferior in understanding?
8000Are not the most laborious of all labourers in London and New York, Irishmen?
8000Are these things to be found in India?
8000Are we to believe,"says he,"the calumny that the Irish are lazy and wo n''t work?
8000But on whom must rest the responsibility for a state of things so hideous as that here exhibited?
8000But think you the poor wretch had committed a heinous offence, and had been convicted thereof, and sentenced to the lash?
8000But why extend the catalogue?
8000But, electors, how does it operate on you?
8000Can such a system be a natural one?
8000Can such scenes be paralleled in Siberia or Caffraria?"
8000Can the people of this country become parties to a system like this-- one that looks to cheapening labour every where?
8000Can they be found in Ireland, in Turkey, or in Portugal?
8000Can they be parties to any system that can be maintained only on the condition of"an abundant and cheap supply of labour?"
8000Could there be a greater tyranny than this?
8000Do the planters profit by good crops?
8000Do they profit by improvements in the transportation of their commodity?
8000Does Demerara stand alone in its misfortune?
8000Does she desire that manufactures shall rise, that towns shall grow, and that the land shall acquire value?
8000Does the reader remember some gorgeous sheets of colored gelatine in the French department of the Great Exhibition?
8000HOW CAN SLAVERY BE EXTINGUISHED?
8000HOW CAN SLAVERY BE EXTINGUISHED?
8000Have we really a free constitution?
8000How can slavery be extinguished, and man be made free?
8000How can this be done for Ireland?
8000How can this be done?
8000How could it be otherwise in a country in which"labourers, whether well off or not, never attempt to be better?
8000How do you like it?
8000How does it work?
8000How is this to be proved?
8000How shall slavery be abolished?
8000How was all this done?
8000How, indeed, could it be otherwise than that the reward of labour should rise?
8000How?
8000I repeat, how does this operate on you?
8000If he could do this would he not become a freer man?
8000If, under these circumstances, King Ferdinand is enabled to play the tyrant, upon whom rests the blame?
8000In what country of civilized Europe has the peasant so light a burden to bear?
8000Is Irish human nature different from other human nature?
8000Is it not clear that the labour of converting the cotton into yarn is not one- quarter as great as was the labour of raising, the cotton itself?
8000Is it not indeed beginning at the wrong end to try and reform men, after they have become criminals?
8000Is it the labourer?
8000Is it the landlord?
8000Is there no mode of escaping from this thraldom?
8000Looking on them, the doubt rose in my mind, am I in a civilized country?
8000Must our children always be deprived of schools?
8000Must our women always labour in the field?
8000Must the slave trade last for ever?
8000Must we continue for ever to raise negroes for sale?
8000Need we wonder at the poverty of India when thus taxed, while deprived of all power even to manure its land?
8000Or to Portugal, the weakest and most wretched of the communities of Europe?
8000Or, can they be parties to an alliance that, wherever it is found, so far cheapens man as to render him a profitable article for the export trade?
8000Sell what?
8000Shall we look to Ireland for the proof?
8000The ground had already been freshly manured by sea- weeds, but the village, where was it?
8000The people of Austria and Hungary are weak, but has England ever tried to render them strong to obtain their freedom?
8000The people of China are weak, but does the consumption of opium to the extent of forty millions of dollars a year tend to strengthen them?
8000The reader may determine for himself if this is not a fair picture of the cotton trade?
8000Then he adds,''Do you see those three hundred men who have just walked out?
8000They often say,''You are not treating that child properly; it will not live:_ is it in the club_?''
8000This is all most true, but what does it prove in regard to British policy?
8000This is quite true; but why did these men come?
8000This is slavery, and under such a system how could the wretched people be other than slaves?
8000This system is to be carried out by producing"unlimited competition"and in what is it to exist?
8000To this what would be the reply?
8000To whom?
8000Turkey is weak; and why is it so?
8000Under such circumstances, how could your infant establishments hope to exist?
8000Upon the planter?
8000Upon whom, now, must rest the responsibility for such a state of things as is here exhibited?
8000We are now frequently invited to an alliance with Great Britain, and for what?
8000We are told of his designs upon Turkey-- but what have the_ people_ of that country to lose by incorporation within the Russian Empire?
8000Well is it asked by Dr. Allen, in his pamphlet on"The Opium Trade,"( Lowell, 1853,)"Can such an unrighteous course in a nation always prosper?"
8000What are the districts which together form the county of Berbice?
8000What art turning thy head for?
8000What commercial partnership, what industrious household exhibits so direct an exchange of services?
8000What inducement can she, then, offer in consideration of an alliance with her?
8000What is the result?
8000What more horrible symptom of moral degradation can be conceived?
8000What professed friend of the people can boast to have done more, or yet so much, for so many millions of men?"
8000What slavery can be worse than this?
8000What was to be done?
8000What worse slavery can we have than this?
8000What, however, becomes of the poor free negro?
8000What, however, finally becomes of the corn?
8000What, in the meanwhile, became of him?
8000What, then,_ are_ the laws under which man"lives and moves and has his being?"
8000Where, however, is it?
8000Where, however, lies the fault of all this?
8000Where?
8000Who is it, however, that is to furnish this capital?
8000Who profits by the reduction of cost of transportation and conversion?
8000Who''ll work?
8000Who, then, are our natural allies?
8000Who, then, are responsible for the subjection of the Spanish people?
8000Why did not the owners of property reside on their estates?
8000Why do they not?
8000Why does she so?
8000Why is it so?
8000Why is it that men in Africa sell their fellow- men to be transported to Cuba or Brazil?
8000Why is it that the light and easily transported spindle and loom are not placed in and about the cotton fields?
8000Why is this so?
8000Why is this?
8000Why should Virginia import potatoes and hay, cheese and butter?
8000Why was it so?
8000Why, however, did this absenteeism exist?
8000Why, however, he will probably ask, is it that they do so waste it?
8000Why?
8000Why?_ Labour is the creator of all wealth.
8000Will this tend to strengthen, or to free, the Chinese people?
8000With such a diet, how much better is he than an Irishman-- a Celt, as he calls him?
8000With such positive and immediate evils to contend with, what wonder that so many needlewomen take''the wages of sin?''"
8000Would he not approach the miller, cap in hand, and would not the latter receive him with his hat on his head?
8000Would not every one be anxious to anticipate the apprehended fall of prices by being early in the market?
8000Would not freights be high?
8000Would not storage be high?
8000Would not the export of Coolies cease if man could be rendered more, valuable in India than in Jamaica or Guiana?
8000Would not the farmer, on his arrival in Rochester, find that every store- house was filled to overflowing?
8000Would not the farmers find themselves to be mere slaves to the owners of a small quantity of mill machinery?
8000Would not the roads be covered with wagons whenever they were passable, and even at times when, they were almost impassable?
8000[ 43] How indeed can it be otherwise?
8000_ One_ of these traders asked her what was the matter with her eyes?
8000art blind?
8000how does it affect home trade, the shopkeeper, poor''s rate, and taxation?
8000those men are listening-- have I got you now?
12507Is there, as you sometimes tell us, Is there one, who rules on high; Has he bid you buy and sell us, Speaking from his throne, the sky? 12507 Why did all- creating Nature Make the plant, for which we toil?
12507Again, as to compacts, had the Africans ever been parties to these?
12507An honourable member had asked on a former day,"Is it an excuse for robbery, to say that another would have committed it?"
12507And, after all these horrors, what was their destiny?
12507Ask him, if your knotted scourges, Fetters, blood- extorting screws, Are the means, which duty urges Agents of his will to use?
12507Because a practice had existed, did it necessarily follow that it was just?
12507Besides, by what law would you enter into every man''s domestic concerns, and regulate the interior economy of his house and plantation?
12507Besides, how could we distinguish between those who were justly or unjustly reduced to it?
12507But allowing it its full force, would there be no honour in the dereliction of such a commerce?
12507But did cruelty cause the excess of deaths above births in the city of London?
12507But did not the Slave- trade convey ideas the very reverse of this definition?
12507But even if France were not to relinquish the trade, how could we, if justice required its abolition, hesitate as to our part of it?
12507But even if acts of barbarity should be related to them, how were they to come at the proof of them?
12507But from whom did the motion for further evidence( when that of the privy council was refused) originate, but from the enemies of the abolition?
12507But had such a trade as the Slave- trade ever existed before?
12507But how did these savages behave, when they had these different persons in their power?
12507But how did we know this?
12507But how was it possible, that to a demand so exceedingly fluctuating the supply should always exactly accommodate itself?
12507But how was this reconcileable with facts?
12507But how?
12507But if so, what would become of the argument of his honourable friend?
12507But if they and their masters hated this same measure, how was this coincidence of sentiment to give birth to insurrection?
12507But if this statement was just, would not the abolition be beneficial to them?
12507But if we were to enforce this act with all the powers of the country, how could it fail to be effectual?
12507But it was said to him,"Did you never order such a thing to be done?"
12507But might he not be reduced to this state very unjustly, and yet by no means contrary to the African laws?
12507But on what principles did we usually respect the institutions of antiquity?
12507But suppose it were allowed, that self- interest might operate some little against cruelty; yet where was the interest of the overseer or the driver?
12507But to whom?
12507But upon whom did the cruelties, thus arising out of the prosecution of this barbarous traffic, fall?
12507But was Africa the place, where Englishmen, above all others, were to go to find out and punish adulterers?
12507But was not the reason obvious?
12507But was not this the insanity of arbitrary power?
12507But was this the case with the Slave- trade?
12507But were they prepared to pay the price of their virtue on this great occasion?
12507But what had Mr. Long said, when he addressed himself to those planters, who were desirous of attempting improvements on their estates?
12507But what kind of morality was this?
12507But what regulations by the British Parliament could prevent these contagions, or remove them suddenly, when they appeared?
12507But what right had we to be judges of their condition?
12507But what said the historians of Africa, long before the question of the abolition was started?
12507But what should happen, just at this moment, to increase the clamour against us?
12507But what should we say, if it should turn out, that we were the causes of those very cruelties, which we affected to prevent?
12507But what then?
12507But what was it that we wished to abolish?
12507But what was the sequel?
12507But what was this but an acknowledgment of the manner, in which these miserable beings were treated?
12507But what would be the amount of it?
12507But when the question was put to Mr. Ross, did he not answer,"that he would not insult the latter by a comparison?"
12507But where was the analogy of the cases?
12507But who could return these to their homes, or make them compensation for their sufferings during their long journeyings?
12507But why had the trade ever been permitted at all?
12507But, after the child was dead, whom should the barbarian select to throw it overboard, but the wretched mother?
12507But, if it were not so, ought the first nation in the world to condescend to be the executioner of savages?
12507But, supposing that they were all to continue it, would not our honour be the greater?
12507By what means was it kept up in Africa?
12507Could it be called humanity to forbear from committing murder?
12507Could they be in all places at once?
12507Could this language be applied to the present state of West India slavery?
12507Could we establish tribunals all along the coast, and in every ship, to find it out?
12507Did he not also forget the sacred attention, which Parliament had ever shown to the private interests and patrimonial rights of individuals?
12507Did he not by this position confound all notions of right and wrong in human institutions?
12507Did it become us to cast the first stone?
12507Did not all of them agree with Mr. Long, that the great danger in the West Indies arose from the importation of the African slaves there?
12507Did they not instantly retaliate by murdering them all?
12507Five years had now elapsed since the question was first started, and what had any of them done?
12507For any thing he knew, it might be physically true, that human blood was the best manure for the land; but who ought to shed it on that account?
12507For what was it but murder to pursue a practice, which produced untimely death to thousands of innocent and helpless beings?
12507Had any thing happened to change the opinion of members since?
12507Had he not ears?
12507Had he not organs, senses, and passions?
12507Had it begun in principles of justice or national honour, which the changes of the world alone had impaired?
12507Had it not been acknowledged by his opponents, that the custom of ransoming slaves prevailed in Africa?
12507Had not Denmark given a noble example to the contrary?
12507Had not an African eyes?
12507Had not its calamities been imputed by its own deputies to the advocates for the abolition?
12507Had not the House altered the import of foreign sugar into our islands?
12507Had they not prohibited the exports of provisions from America to the same quarter?
12507Had this been answered?
12507Had we never heard of seamen being flogged from ship to ship, or of soldiers dying in the very act of punishment?
12507He therefore asked his honourable friend, whether the period he had looked to was now arrived?
12507How could Africa ever be civilized under it?
12507How dared he then to use this selfish plea of interest against the voice of the generous sympathies of his nature?
12507How then were we to decide this important question?
12507How was it ever to be eradicated, if every nation was thus prudentially to wait till the concurrence of all the world should be obtained?
12507How was this immense property and income to be preserved?
12507If on the ground of a moral evil it was to be abolished at last, why ought it not now?
12507If you poisoned him, would he not die?
12507If you pricked him, would he not feel the puncture and bleed?
12507If, in his public situation, he had then set his face against it, where would have been our hope?
12507Me from my delights to sever, Me to torture, me to task?
12507No idea could be more absurd: for, was it not its duty to correct abuses?
12507Now how did this language sound?
12507Now it would naturally be asked, Was not this captain also gibbered alive?
12507Now the question was, how the people, thus going up these rivers, obtained their slaves?
12507On what ground of theory or history did we act, when we supposed that she was never to be reclaimed?
12507Should not we, on the other hand, be benefited by this change?
12507Should we delay, then, to repair these incalculable injuries?
12507That the Slaves then should have been guilty of great excesses was not to be wondered at; for where did they learn their cruelty?
12507The body, though under affliction, may retain its shape; and, if it even perish, what is the loss of it but of worthless dust?
12507The latter asked, who had punished him so dreadfully?
12507Thus, for instance, what bill could alter the nature of the human passions?
12507Was he then asking too much of the West Indians, to request a candid consideration of the real ground of their alarms?
12507Was it not clear, that all argument, founded on the supposed pledge of Parliament, made against those who employed it?
12507Was it not evident, that the planters thought it more convenient to buy them fit for work, than to breed them?
12507Was it not folly to wait for the stream to run down before we crossed the bed of its channel?
12507Was it not plain that she must suffer from it?
12507Was it not the Slave- trade, which would destroy in time the cruel distinction he had mentioned?
12507Was it not therefore idle to rely upon them for the accomplishment of it?
12507Was it only at the outset that we could trace violence and injustice on the part of the Slave- trade?
12507Was it possible to believe, that this number could have been legally convicted of crimes, for which they had justly forfeited their liberty?
12507Was it then a prudent thing for them to rest on this commerce for the further improvement of their property?
12507Was not the insanity of the masters of slave- ships to be accounted for on the same principles?
12507Was not this a reasonable conclusion, when they, the deputies, had almost all the first men in the Assembly in their favour?
12507Was not this an awful consideration for this country?
12507Was not this request a proof of the frequency of such acts of rapine?
12507Were ever any scenes of horror equal to those which had passed there?
12507Were these then a people incapable of civilization?
12507What advantages, for instance, would they derive from this pestilential commerce to their marine?
12507What are the different ways of reducing to slavery the inhabitants of that part of Africa, which is under the dominion of France?
12507What are the various evils belonging to the transportation of the Africans from their own country?
12507What bill could prevent fraud and violence in Africa, while the Slave- trade existed there?
12507What good would it do them?
12507What is the state of society there with respect to government, industry, and the arts?
12507What judges could we get for such an office?
12507What person would risk the comfort of his life by the exercise of so invidious an interference?
12507What should we think of those, who should say, that it was their interest to injure us?
12507What then was the importation of fresh Africans but a system, tending to the general ruin of the islands?
12507What then was the probability of our example being followed by foreign powers?
12507What then would they say to their continuance year after year, and from age to age?
12507What was the answer from Grenada?
12507What was the inference from this moderate assertion, but that we might as well supply them ourselves?
12507What was this but to say, that there were instruments in use, which left indelible marks behind them; and who would say, that these were used justly?
12507What were the causes of the insurrections there?
12507What would the house think, when by the concurring testimony of these the true history was laid open?
12507When a criminal was justly executed, was not the execution justice to him who suffered, and humanity to the body of the people at large?
12507When they went to rest, would not their dreams be frightful?
12507Where bolder assertions of the rights of mankind, than in Tacitus and Thucydides?
12507Where could be found finer sentiments of liberty than in Demosthenes and Cicero?
12507Where was the impracticability, on which alone so many had rested their objections?
12507Whether it was humane, just, and politic in us so to place them?
12507Who ever read the facts recorded of Nero without suspecting he was mad?
12507Who would endure such a law?
12507Who would not be apt to impute insanity to Caligula-- or Domitian-- or Caracalla-- or Commodus-- or Heliogabalus?
12507Why did we make laws to punish men?
12507Why then should we promote them in the West Indies?
12507Why was injustice to be suffered to remain for a single hour?
12507Why were they then to be troubled again with arguments of this nature?
12507Would any man estimate the character of the English nation by what was to be read in the records of the Old Bailey?
12507Would it be nothing publicly to recognise great and just principles?
12507Would not our virtue be the more signal?
12507Would they not be obliged to come to us, in consequence of the cheapness of our manufactures, for what they wanted for the African market?
12507Would they then sanction enormities, the bare recital of which made them shudder?
12507and that a trade of this nature, carried on round her coasts, must extend violence and desolation to her very centre?
12507and what abuses were greater than robbery and murder?
12507and, if you wronged him, would he not revenge?
12507do you buy me, who am a great trader?"
12507had it to plead former services and glories in behalf of its present disgrace?
12507that her savage manners must be rendered still more ferocious?
12507were they goods and chattels?
12507what proportion did this number bear to twelve hundred?
12507whether the West Indies, at this hour, were not in a state, in which they could maintain their population?
21060And how did you manage to effect your escape after all?
21060And how was_ she_ painted?
21060Any damage done, Hawkesley?
21060Are you_ quite sure_?
21060Ay ay, sir,I responded;"but--"with a somewhat blank look at the tall, straight, smooth stem to which he pointed,"where are the ratlines?"
21060But of course he cast you all adrift first, and gave you at least a_ chance_ to save your lives?
21060But you have taken care to see that the magazines are now all right?-- that there are no more live fuzes in them?
21060By the by,I suddenly added, moved by an impulse which I could neither analyse nor account for,"of what nationality was the leader of the pirates?
21060By the way, Smellie, do you think this Don Manuel was quite plain and above- board with you? 21060 Did any of her people board you?"
21060Did anyone speak on board you, Armitage?
21060Did you catch sight of the look- out?
21060Did you hear anyone speak on board the second cutter then?
21060Do I understand you to mean that you have_ murdered_ him?
21060Do n''t you recognise my voice, Madre?
21060Do you see that very tall tree shooting up above the rest, almost directly ahead?
21060Do you see that, sir?
21060Do you see the sloop, sir?
21060Halold?
21060Have you mentioned the matter to Captain Vernon yet, sir?
21060Have you sighted a sail of any kind to- day?
21060Have_ you_, too, suspected the brig?
21060How are we to find the creek in such weather as this, Mr Hawkesley?
21060How is she painted?
21060How many people do you think there are in the cabin?
21060How much is it?
21060I asked whether you ever said your prayers: I ought to have said, rather, do you ever pray? 21060 Is it possible that the crew have taken the ship from their officers, think you?"
21060Is she all black, or does she sometimes sport a white riband?
21060Is she not in the house?
21060Lend me the glass a moment, will you? 21060 Mornin'', gentlemen,"observed this individual, in response to our salutation;"powerful hot; ai n''t it?"
21060Mr Smellie,said I,"do you know that craft?"
21060No, sir,I whispered back;"did you?"
21060Now, Mildmay,bending over the chart,"whereabouts is the_ Daphne_?"
21060Now, what could you possibly have noticed of a suspicious character in the poor fellow''s conduct this morning?
21060Oh, you''re come on board to join, eh?
21060Reef? 21060 Seven years, have you?"
21060Shall I send Burnett to you, or can you come on board the sloop?
21060Sir?
21060Sir?
21060So you are English? 21060 So, monsieur,"he resumed,"you were about to blow us up, eh?
21060That is how the wind blows, is it? 21060 The French boat?
21060There, Hawkesley, what do you think of that for a compliment?
21060Three, eh? 21060 Was that object which we caught sight of some distance ahead, just now, the schooner?"
21060Well, Dick, what do you think of Captain Vernon''s proposal?
21060Well, Mr Armitage, what is it?
21060Well, Mr Hawkesley, is there anything in sight, from your perch aloft there, worth looking at?
21060Well, Mr Hawkesley, what news from the burning ship?
21060Well, Tom, what is it? 21060 Well, Tom,"said I,"what about the guns?--are they loaded?"
21060Well,he whispered, first drawing me away from the open scuttle,"what have you discovered?"
21060What chip dis is, eh?
21060What do you want?
21060What is it that you can not understand, Hawkesley?
21060What is it, Mr Armitage?
21060What is that away there on our lee bow, sir?
21060What is the_ Vestale_ like?
21060What is to prevent our_ seizing the schooner_, sir?
21060What sort of a craft is she? 21060 What was he doing?"
21060What was it the fellow said?
21060Where are we going, Tom?
21060Where are you taking the ship?
21060Where was I?
21060Which do you think will be the easier plan of the two: to climb the tree, or to make our way through the bush to the spot?
21060Who calls?
21060Who calls?
21060Why do you ask, sir? 21060 Why, Hawkesley, is that you?"
21060Why, what_ is_ there to understand about her? 21060 Why?
21060You see that craft there? 21060 You see these scratches?"
21060You surely do n''t need the sail for a run half- way across the harbour?
21060You think, then, he might alter her appearance as soon as he got outside?
21060Your mate? 21060 _ Who shall say how many of us will live to return_?"
21060A slight and barely perceptible pause; and then--"What schooner is that?"
21060And I hopes, sir, as how you wo n''t bear no malice again''me for just tryin''a bit to see what sort o''stuff you was made of, as it were?"
21060And had she not also heard and seen me mistaken for a lord?
21060And if it was a signal, what did it mean''s and to whom was it made?
21060And pray, Mr Hawkesley, what success have_ you_ met with in Cupid''s warfare?"
21060And was it not our duty to submit to that Will, to endure patiently whatever might be in store for us?
21060And what could I do?
21060And where was Mr Austin during this stealthy movement?
21060And why, in the name of fortune, should they want to interfere with us at all?
21060Are the grappling- irons all ready?"
21060Are they too serious to be attended to in my cabin?
21060Are you in a fit state to meet your God?
21060Are you le capitaine of this vaisseau?"
21060At length Captain Vernon said:"By- the- by, Hawkesley, what sort of a young lady is this Dona Antonia whom Mr Smellie has mentioned once or twice?"
21060But I can steer easily with one hand now?"
21060But did you not think it strange that he should be in such a tremendous hurry to come on board us this morning?
21060But how is that to be done?"
21060But the sun is getting low; had we not better be moving, sir?"
21060But what brings you down here, Montmorenci?
21060But what of your hurts?
21060But, Hawkesley, my dear boy, are we in our sober senses, or is this only a delightful dream?
21060But, by the by, where is the French boat all this time?"
21060But, my dear boy, are you prepared to die?
21060But, there, what matters?
21060But-- let there be no more of it-- do you understand?"
21060By Jove, Hawkesley, that was a narrow squeak, eh?
21060By the way, are you anything of a shot?"
21060Can anyone suggest anything?"
21060Can we see him?"
21060Can you tell me which of the two brigs-- the_ Vestale_ or the_ Black Venus_--sailed first from the river?"
21060Can you use your right arm?"
21060Captain Vernon stared hard at the second lieutenant for a minute, and then said:"My dear Smellie, what in the world are you talking about?
21060Could it be possible that the Frenchmen had_ not_ escaped after all?
21060Could it be possible that we had been deceived, after all, as to the circumstances of Dona Antonia''s abduction?
21060Did I wish this?
21060Did n''t you hear the gentleman say as how we was to` crack on''because he''s in a hurry?
21060Did you not say you saw her?"
21060Did you say as Mr Smellie and Mr Hawkesley was on board you?"
21060Do you hear, sir?"
21060Do you not recognise my voice, Collins?"
21060Do you not think it would be a good plan for one of us to shin up a tree and take a look round before we go any further?
21060Do you not think the matter ought to be reported to Captain Vernon?"
21060Do you see her?"
21060Do you see that bright red star close to the horizon, coxswain?
21060Do you think he was a_ Frenchman_?"
21060Do you wish to see him?"
21060Has she not turned up at the creek?"
21060Have matters gone wrong at the head of the creek?"
21060Have you come down to join?"
21060Have you ever fallen in with such a man as I have described him to be?"
21060Have you nerve enough for the adventure?"
21060Hawkesley, do you think you ever met either of those men before?"
21060He ran over these carefully, and then said:"How long do you expect it will take you to cross?"
21060How dare you cry out in that ridiculous fashion, Flanaghan?
21060How do you think it looks for accuracy?"
21060How does your shoulder feel?
21060How have you been steering, coxswain?"
21060How in the world do you manage it?"
21060How is her head, coxswain?"
21060How many hands shall I send you?"
21060How shall I describe her?
21060How would you like that?
21060I exclaimed;"is it not a craft of some sort?"
21060I suppose_ he_ does nothing in the slave- trading business, eh?"
21060I''ll be bound they know every inch of the river, and could find their way out blindfold?"
21060If they are, what is to prevent our seizing one and making our way down the river without further ado?"
21060Is it shipwrecked, stranded, and cast away we are on the back of a say- crocodile?
21060Is that Mr Armitage?"
21060Lifting my legs, therefore, coolly up on the side seat out of reach of the water, I said:"How long have you been a sailor, coxswain?"
21060Misther Hawkesley, am I to have the pleasure of showin''ye the way on board the hooker yonder?"
21060Mr Hawkesley, d''ye think you can pitch a bullet into that long chap that''s creeping up there on our larboard beam?
21060My owners had unfortunately sent me to sea with only half a dozen muskets on board, and not an ounce of powder or shot; so what could I do?
21060My_ dear_ Lord Henry, how are you?
21060Need I say that, between us, we emptied it?
21060Now I_ hope_ I have not offended you?"
21060Now are you all ready?
21060Now do you happen to know anything about the speed of the current in the river?"
21060Now it is evident that the slave fleet and the entrance to the creek are situate_ somewhere or other_ on these two lines; the question is--_where_?
21060Now let''s go and cement our friend ship over a bottle of wine at the` Blue Posts,''what do you say?"
21060Now whereabouts are your hurts?"
21060Now, Tom, are you ready there, for''ard?
21060Now, at what time do you propose to start?"
21060Now, what do you say-- are you still resolved to go?"
21060Now, where was it?
21060Or rather, what is there that is incomprehensible about her?"
21060Perhaps you will increase our obligation to you by informing me what you have done with Mr Austin?"
21060Pointing to herself and repeating her name, she next pointed to Smellie and asked:"Ingeya?"
21060Shall I bind up your shoulder for you?
21060So Richards shared your suspicions, did he?"
21060So this is the scene of the struggle, eh?"
21060The same thought evidently struck Smellie, for he turned to me and exclaimed breathlessly:"Dona Antonia!--where can she be?"
21060Then he added hurriedly:"By the way, do you know my friend Tomnoddy?
21060Then, as if inspired with a sudden suspicion, he asked:"Have you seen any men- o''-war in here lately?"
21060They are not?
21060This was done, our lads leaving the guns for a few minutes for the purpose; but-- will it be credited?
21060Tomnoddy, do you remember, by the by--?"
21060Um-- ah-- eh?
21060Was I_ afraid_?
21060Was he aware of it?
21060What brig is that?"
21060What can you do?"
21060What could it mean?
21060What did it mean?
21060What do you mean?
21060What is she like?"
21060What is the name of this rope?"
21060What is to be done?
21060What is your name?"
21060What''s the matter on board?
21060Whereaway do you suppose the creek to be?"
21060Which is equivalent to saying that the tree bears south- south- east from the_ Daphne_; is it not?"
21060Whither away, Dick, my lad?
21060Who calls for me so loudly?"
21060Who had uttered them, indeed?
21060Who may you be, pray?"
21060Who were they, and what could they possibly want?
21060Why are you going to sea without a full cargo?
21060Why not?
21060Why wo n''t the stupid donkeys take a hint?
21060Why, Hawkesley, where in the world have you been, and what doing, man?
21060Why, if my suspicions were correct, had they invited the officers of the_ Daphne_ on board to dinner?
21060Why, you never mean to say you have had to_ fight_ for the schooner?"
21060Why?"
21060Will you join us, Austin?
21060Would she or would she not alter her course before observing our signal?
21060Would that suit you?
21060Would the natives attempt another attack that night under cover of the fog?
21060You have no objection, I presume?"
21060You have, of course, heard of the Fitz- Jones family-- the Fitz- J- o- h- n- e- s''s, you know?"
21060_ A negress_?
21060are you here?
21060are you hurt?"
21060exclaimed Mildmay,"what''s the meaning of this?
21060excuse me, but I really wish you could have seen yourself when that mischievous friend of mine accused you of-- of-- what was it?
21060he hailed,"has Captain Vernon yet retired for the night?"
21060how is that?"
21060say you so?
21060that''s it, is it?"
21060that''s it, is it?"
21060what was that?
21060who spoke?"
21060you thought to play a trick upon your old friend Fitz- Jones, did you?
18683Ai n''t that so, old man?
18683Am I to take the gun?
18683And what we''re up to is worse than all the rest, is n''t it?
18683Are they good?
18683Are you awake?
18683Are you hurt?
18683Are you?
18683Be this the chap?
18683Be you a son of old Bras Granger?
18683Been to breakfast? 18683 But what is a propeller?"
18683But why should I do it, grandpa?
18683Ca n''t I stick these wherever I want to?
18683Could n''t we ship on that other vessel?
18683Could n''t you keep yourself out of trouble?
18683D''ye think you''d like to spend all your time down there?
18683Did n''t I say that the son of the man as killed your father was comin''by the Laurel Branch this mornin''? 18683 Did n''t I tell you to go straight to the city hall and procure my license?"
18683Did''e think it was wings?
18683Do n''t know me?
18683Do n''t, eh? 18683 Do you know of a man here called Captain Shard?"
18683Do you mean how would I like to be a sailor?
18683Do you think I had better?
18683Do you want to spend a year or so in a Yankee jail?
18683Duff told you this, did he?
18683Felt me pressin''your chist, did n''t you?
18683Finally, did you know that this brother of my mother was the man who shot your father?
18683Follow the sea?
18683For good and all?
18683From the mountains, ai n''t you?
18683Go where, sir?
18683Going to snooze all day?
18683Got any money?
18683Got my telegram, did you?
18683Had n''t I better remain with you?
18683Hain''t you learned to ride yet?
18683Hark?
18683Have n''t I been raised among''em? 18683 Have ye any license?"
18683Have you no manners?
18683Hi, Marse Tom, who be dat yo''got dar? 18683 How came you in here?"
18683How can we tell which is which when they''re all alike as two ha''pence?
18683How many bills have you put up?
18683How would you like to follow the sea for a living?
18683How''s that?
18683I say,began the lad,"are you fellows going down the mountain?
18683I wonder if many ship captains are like him? 18683 I wonder why?"
18683Is it customary to stop them on the high seas, and send a boat aboard to find out?
18683Is n''t it horrible?
18683Is that Captain Gary''s ship?
18683Is that the kid''s grub?
18683Is yo''gwine ter stay in yere all day?
18683Like these?
18683May I give those people below some water, sir?
18683Mine? 18683 Mr. Duff,"said Gary in his most grating tones,"who gave you the authority to interfere with my designs regarding this insolent youngster?"
18683Must I do it, grandpa?
18683Must I drink it?
18683Need any money, for clothes, and so on?
18683No use to offer you a dram then?
18683Now do you know who he is?
18683Now, Ralph,continued he with lazy cordiality, as if he had known the youth for weeks instead of minutes,"what do you know about a sailor''s life?"
18683Now, Ralph,said Mr. Quigg, after the trunks and other movables had been taken inside,"do you know what a poster is?"
18683Now, can you draw a good bead on him when he comes in sight?
18683Now, men,began the captain, when all had assumed a decorous silence,"what do you think that war ship supposed we were?"
18683Ralph,called Duff,"are you all right, my lad?"
18683So I must look out for squalls, must I?
18683So you want to try the sea, eh? 18683 Son of old Bras?"
18683Suppose I do n''t uphold the deed?
18683Suppose I do; what then?
18683Suppose he had got mad when he pumped out of me who I was? 18683 Tell me you wo n''t, eh?"
18683That beats pine knots, do n''t it?
18683That would n''t be honest, would it?
18683That you, Ralph?
18683That you, Ralph?
18683Then I ai n''t really got a right to stick my bills anywhere, have I?
18683Then your job did n''t last long?
18683Tildy Dopples a relative of yours?
18683Tis, eh? 18683 W- h- a- a- t?"
18683Was it you outside?
18683Was your father''s name Ralph, too?
18683Well now,remarked Ralph, on the conclusion of the story,"what are we to do?"
18683Well, my lad, what is it you want of me?
18683Well, nephew,said he in a cordial, hearty tone,"how are you?
18683Well, what is it you want of me-- a-- what is your name?
18683Well, what now, Granger?
18683Well?
18683Well?
18683Wh-- where is my train then?
18683Wh-- where shall I go?
18683Wh-- who are-- you?
18683What are ye progin''round this time o''night for?
18683What are you doing?
18683What business you got with a gun? 18683 What d''ye mean?"
18683What did that?
18683What did you suppose it might be?
18683What did you want in my pocket?
18683What do you call that brass horn?
18683What do you mean?
18683What has happened? 18683 What has the boy done?"
18683What have yon seen-- or heard, for that matter? 18683 What in heaven''s name is it all about?"
18683What is his name? 18683 What is it makes things go?"
18683What is it, Sam?
18683What is that? 18683 What is that?"
18683What is that?
18683What is the use of forever brooding over old scores? 18683 What is the use of tiring myself out?"
18683What kind of a man is he?
18683What now?
18683What of that?
18683What schooner is this?
18683What will we do when our grub gives out?
18683What will you have?
18683What yo''reckon a gen''lemun like he wanter sech a boy as you? 18683 What you goin''to do?"
18683What''s that, sir?
18683What''s that?
18683What''s the matter with you? 18683 What''your name?"
18683Where am I?
18683Where are we?
18683Where are we?
18683Where can I find Captain Gary?
18683Where can he be, I wonder?
18683Where there were so many wagons and carriages around?
18683Where will I find him, sir?
18683Where you carryin''yourself to? 18683 Where''d you get your trainin''?"
18683Where?
18683Whether it is so or not?
18683Who are you?
18683Who sent you to me?
18683Why ai n''t you killed him afore?
18683Why did n''t you tell me that the walls were not free?
18683Why did you not let me pay mine?
18683Why should I be reading the captain''s letters?
18683Wo n''t they take the town?
18683Wot will''e do short handed with a hundred or more black devils aboard in case trouble comes? 18683 Would, eh?"
18683Yo''membah dat big liv''ry stable on de Main Street as we come erlong?
18683You have to say those things, or people will not think anything of you-- see?
18683Ai n''t I a wukin''fer dat same man de bigger heft er de time?"
18683Ai n''t it a good trade?"
18683Ai n''t she a beauty?"
18683Am I right?"
18683And that a brother of hers was killed in a duel by a cousin of your father''s?"
18683And yonder-- do you see that low lying, black schooner under the lee of Tybee light?"
18683Are any more of you alive?"
18683Are you sick of this cruise already, Jacob Duff?
18683Bludson?"
18683But how did I get loose?"
18683But where are you bound for after you get down there?"
18683By the way, what''s your name?"
18683Ca n''t a body stir''thout you havin''a fit?"
18683Ca n''t''e hear that?"
18683Can you cook?"
18683Come now; are you ready?"
18683D''ye hear?"
18683D''ye understand?"
18683Dat all is it?"
18683Did Bludson treat you well?
18683Did n''t you as good as save my life?
18683Did you bring any kit along?"
18683Did you think it was to wash with?"
18683Do n''t you know me yet?"
18683Do n''t you see-- we''re gone?
18683Do n''t you see?
18683Does the sea make you sick?"
18683Drunk?"
18683Duff was white to the lips,"D''ye want to see murder done?
18683Duff?"
18683Duff?"
18683Duff?"
18683Gary seemed momentarily paralyzed at such independence, then out of sheer amazement hissed forth sneeringly:"Will your impudence tell me why?"
18683Give way, Ben?
18683Had a pleasant time?
18683Have n''t the Vaughns and the Grangers been at outs for more than twenty year?
18683Have n''t we a sentry there constantly?"
18683Have your mud splashers shined?
18683He handed one of each to the other two, saying to Ralph:"I guess you can shoot, ca n''t you?
18683He was mighty milk and watery, was n''t he?
18683Heap sweeter than sugar, ai n''t it?"
18683How can I find him, I''d like to know?"
18683How does that suit you?
18683How would his incensed relative receive him?
18683Huh?"
18683I think we had better help our dusky friends, do n''t you, boys?
18683I wonder what kind of a hole this sweat box is?"
18683I wonder where we will sail to first?
18683I''ve got business with him-- d''ye understand?"
18683Is n''t it a little rough to expect him to find his sea legs in half an hour?
18683Is n''t there no danger in going so fast?
18683Is not that so?"
18683It''s you, is it, Tom?"
18683Know where you''re bound for?"
18683Look, Clell wants you to take it, do n''t you, Clell?"
18683My room is forty nine; can you recollect that?"
18683Never been anywhere, you say?"
18683Now, do you see?"
18683Now, what d''ye say?"
18683Now, what do you think of that?"
18683Old man got in good humor yet?"
18683One er dese yere shore kids?"
18683Out of the woods?"
18683Queer world, is n''t it?"
18683S''pose I had n''t a woke up?"
18683Say yo''wanter see him, suh?"
18683Sha n''t I-- grandpa?
18683The artist, however, recalled him from this sort of day dreaming, by saying:"Ever make biscuit?"
18683The figure vanished, and presently the lad heard his aunt say:"What are you fussin''about, Mr. Dopples?
18683The heaving plain below made his head swin[ Transcriber''s note: swim?].
18683The negro disappeared in the crowd, one of whom said to the mountain boy:"Why did n''t you hand him over to yonder policeman?"
18683The negro inspected Ralph from head to foot, then demanded:"Do he stop yere?"
18683This rather supported the tenor of Mrs. Dopples''cautions, and Ralph paused a moment before he asked:"Where can I find him?"
18683Want water, do you?"
18683Well enough to stand a stiff surprise?"
18683What are yo''up to?"
18683What are you going to do?"
18683What could seven men do against a hundred?
18683What do you mean by that?"
18683What do''e think of the Curlew now?
18683What have you been drinking?
18683What in the mischief can he want?"
18683What is a lad more or less?"
18683What is there about the boy that he dislikes?
18683What might be yours?"
18683What more d''ye want?"
18683What mought your name be these hard times?"
18683What noise is that?"
18683What say?"
18683What''s that?"
18683What''s this?"
18683Where be ye, Tildy?"
18683Where be you goin''?"
18683Where did you come from?
18683Where is the bo''s''n?"
18683Who first heard the thing coming?"
18683Who''s your boss?"
18683Why should I not start you as well as any one else, especially when it costs me nothing but the stroke of a pen?
18683Why should this man want to hurt me?"
18683Without waiting for the burst of anger which he knew would follow this mutinous(?)
18683Would he be able to forge far enough ahead to be recognized?
18683Yes?
18683You never sailed with Captain Gary afore, did you?"
18683are you going to let her broach?
18683asked he, and when the boy nodded affirmatively, added:"And was his father''s name Bras Granger?"
18683exclaimed Ralph enthusiastically, his eyes glowing,"am I really to get a berth on the training ship as a naval apprentice?"
18683exclaimed the darky, rubbing his ear, which had received the blow,"What yo''do dat for, anyhow?"
18683in the newspapers and, there you are-- see?"
18683interposed the captain with emphasis, then added:"Did you know my mother was a Vaughn, boy?
18683what is this?"
21064Ai n''t he?
21064And I may call you Dick, may I not? 21064 And have you never had any desire to escape and seek the protection of your guardians?"
21064And how come you five men to be here?
21064And how is he now, Hamilton? 21064 And how many do we muster on our side?"
21064And now, what do I find? 21064 And pray, senor, who may you be, and where am I?"
21064And supposing that we do n''t happen to fall in with any of your precious men- o''-war, what then?
21064And that, I suppose, accounts for the fact of your face seeming familiar to me; I probably saw you once or twice during my delirium?
21064And the tide is rising, is it not?
21064And they are heading out from the land, you say?
21064And were any of my men among them?
21064And what about the steerage passengers?
21064And what was the general trend of the direction which you took when you followed the savages?
21064And you have never been in the West Indies before? 21064 And you, Jones, what is your opinion?"
21064And, pray, how did you manage to escape, senor?
21064Any sign of the chase yet, Mr Simpson?
21064Are you quite sure, Juan, that the prisoners are all securely lashed?
21064Astern of us-- the commodore astern of us, did you say?
21064Ay, no doubt,answered I;"but what about their fighting qualities, if we should be obliged to resort to forcible measures with the mutineers?"
21064Better do that first, had n''t you?
21064Better take in the to''garns''l, had n''t we, sir?
21064Boatswain,said I,"have you given the spare gear of this craft an overhaul as yet?"
21064But how in the world did you know that?
21064But where is Mr Fawcett? 21064 By the by,"he said,"are those boats of yours worth hoisting in?"
21064Do you actually mean to say that you were once my mother''s lover?
21064Do you hear that, Grenvile?
21064Do you mean to say, sir, that you have made the passage across in a fortnight?
21064Does he-- does he really say that? 21064 For how could you know, Mr Carter,"he said,"that the boats were not full of pirates?
21064For what reason, pray, Captain Williams?
21064Good enough to take a ship across the Atlantic, for instance, without assistance?
21064Has he made any signals since I came below?
21064Has the breeze yet reached them?
21064Have I?
21064Have any of them been drinking, think you?
21064Have we anything in the boat from which we can make a flare?
21064Have you forgotten the homely old adage that` It''s never too late to mend''? 21064 Have you got them bent and an anchor ready to let go if she should happen to back off the bank?"
21064Have you managed to escape from the savages, or were you not with the rest when they were taken?
21064How do they bear from us now?
21064How is it coming? 21064 How is our patient?
21064How long do you think it will be before it reaches us?
21064How many do you muster?
21064How much farther do you say this creek of yours is, Higgins?
21064How would it do to train the guns of the port broadside forward, and return his compliment?
21064How''s her head?
21064Hullo, Fonseca,I exclaimed,"where in the name of fortune have you sprung from?
21064Hullo, Grenvile, that you?
21064Hullo, Grenvile, what is the meaning of this?
21064I presume you did not by any chance notice, senor, precisely how many men landed, did you?
21064Is it coming along pretty fast?
21064Is it safe for me to move now, Chips?
21064Is that Mr Grenvile that stands beside you, sir?
21064May I ask why, general?
21064May I have that glass for a moment? 21064 Mr Jones,"I shouted,"be good enough to signal the commodore that there is a strange sail in the northern board, will you?"
21064Musket, sir? 21064 Not seriously hurt, Freeman, I hope?"
21064Now then, Martin,I said sharply,"what is all this disturbance about, and why is the boatswain threatening you with that rope''s- end?"
21064Now then, my lad,said I, as the fellow faced round and confronted me,"where are the rest of the men who left this ship yesterday?
21064Now, Higgins,said I,"whereabout is this creek of yours?
21064Now, Keene, what do you say? 21064 Now, Tom, where''s that there binnacle lamp again?
21064Now, who is the fellow, and what does he mean by firing at us? 21064 Shall I, indeed?"
21064Shall we let them have what they ask for?
21064Shall we try a shot?
21064So you really think that yonder brig is your own ship?
21064Surely it is not so very difficult to find, now that you have been told of its existence?
21064Surely you do not pretend to suggest that my father--?
21064Tell me who it was, and what he said?
21064The West Indies? 21064 The navy bad?
21064Then you think my idea has something in it?
21064There is no hope, you think, of saving the schooner, if all of us who are able were to go below and lend you a hand?
21064There, sir, d''ye see''em?
21064This,he said,"is your most serious injury-- a pike wound; when did you get it?"
21064We are to make the best of our way to Sierra Leone-- the best of our way, do you understand? 21064 Well, Chips,"said I,"what is the best news from below?"
21064Well, Dick, where is the treasure?
21064Well, Lotta-- I suppose I may call you Lotta, may I not? 21064 Well, Lotta-- now, let me remember-- what was it I was about to say?
21064Well, Mr Grenvile, what do you make of them?
21064Well, San Domingo,I said,"are there any signs of the chase?
21064Well, can you tell me whether there are any boarding- nettings in the ship?
21064Well, sah, I find dem all in de steward''s pantry-- where else? 21064 Well, what is it, Grenvile?"
21064Well,said I, when at length Simpson had ended his scrutiny and handed back the instrument to me,"what do you think of her?"
21064Well,said he when I presented myself,"I suppose you are beginning to feel rather tired of kicking your heels about ashore here, are you not?"
21064What about your cables?
21064What are they like? 21064 What do you say, Mr Grenvile?"
21064What does she look like?
21064What has happened, then, Simpson?
21064What is his other name?
21064What is it?
21064What is the latest news of the strangers, Mr Grenvile?
21064What is your name, young man?
21064What makes you think so?
21064What ship is this?
21064What''s in the wind? 21064 Where are they?"
21064Where away?
21064Where is the commodore?
21064Who are killed, Simpson?
21064Who are you, pray?
21064Why, Pringle,said I to the gunner, whose watch it was,"what does that mean?
21064Why, how on earth did you come to know of that rascally transaction, senor?
21064Why,answered Higgins, instantly catching my meaning,"it was westerly, sir; was n''t it, Mike?
21064You are the captain of this ship, are you not?
21064You do n''t really mean it, do you, Grenvile? 21064 You must surely be drunk, Tonkin, or you would never dream of--""Drunk am I?"
21064You think so?
21064You think so?
21064You want me, Mr Grenvile?
21064Ah, gentleum, dis is wery different from de appearance ob de table in de midshipmen''s berth aboard de_ Shark_, eh?
21064Ai n''t it, Mike?"
21064Am I to understand that you are in full and perfect agreement with Mr Carter in this proposal which he has just made to me?"
21064And I continually found myself mentally asking the question:"Which am I to believe-- this man''s words, or the expression of his eyes?
21064And I should have been her husband but for the accursed villainy of one who-- but why speak of it?
21064And bring your shipmate-- what did you say his name is?
21064And d''ye know how they did that, sir?
21064And first of all, as to our losses, I fear they have been very heavy, have they not?"
21064And how comes he to be in command, now, if he was only second when you left home?"
21064And if one were disposed for a moment to admit such a possibility, whence could a boat come?
21064And then arose the question, what had become of the schooner and my shipmates?
21064And what is the state of the hawser?
21064And when we went a''ter the savages we kept on bearin''away towards the left, did n''t we?
21064And where is the commodore?"
21064And your name is Dick, is it not?"
21064And your name, senorita, will you not tell me that?"
21064And, as Fonseca nodded, I continued:"And pray, when did this happen?"
21064And, by the way, why have you spared me?
21064And, look here, why should you not join us?
21064Are you one of the Devon Grenviles?"
21064Are you, by any chance, Captain Ricardo''s daughter?"
21064As he entered I heard the office messenger say something to him in a low tone, to which he responded:"What?
21064At this moment Sir Thomas came up to me and said:"Grenvile, my lad, come down on to the main- deck with me a moment, will you?
21064Broad off the starboard bow, is n''t it?"
21064But suppose that he should do as Carter suggests he may, and order you and your men to quit the ship, will you go?"
21064But what is the matter with them aboard there that they have not seen us?
21064By the by, what is your name, if I may presume to ask?
21064By the way, is your mother still living?"
21064By the way, what do you think of Lotta?"
21064By the way, what sort of a navigator is Keene?"
21064Can you make out their rig?"
21064Can you tell me, for instance, what has become of my schooner and her crew?"
21064Could he see me, do you think?"
21064D''ye see her, sir?
21064Do n''t ye remember that the run of the creek itself was some''at down- stream?
21064Do you mind telling me who you are?
21064Do you think he can see me without detriment to himself?"
21064Does your captain take care of his wounded prisoners and nurse them back to health, as a rule?"
21064Finally he turned to me and said:"On what date were these dispatches handed to you, young gentleman?"
21064Get your step?
21064Had our lesson of the afternoon brought home to them a good, wholesome realisation of the danger of meddling with white men?
21064Had they been captured, sunk, or driven off?
21064Have they a surgeon aboard that ship?
21064Have you been long in?"
21064Have you observed anything to- day indicative of a disposition on the part of the natives to attack us?"
21064Have you seen him?"
21064Have you served your full time at sea yet?"
21064How did the commodore treat you; did he seem fairly favourably disposed to you?"
21064How many do the mutineers muster, all told?"
21064How many of your boat''s crew were alive when he picked you up?"
21064How much farther do you mean to go before landing?"
21064How would any of you manage if by chance it fell to you to take a ship into port, and you could only` fudge''a day''s work?
21064How would that be?"
21064I cried anxiously,"where are you?
21064I demanded in the same language,"and where am I?"
21064I exclaimed,"is it possible that you can ever have known my mother?"
21064I hope you do n''t anticipate the possibility that I shall join you?"
21064I presume you will have no objection to receive us?"
21064I say, Grenvile, ca n''t we manage to have a little cruise on our own account?
21064I suppose you have wondered what are my ultimate intentions toward you, have you not?
21064I, however, heard a very gentle and musical voice say:"How do you do, Mr Grenvile?
21064If I got that--""Get your step, sir?"
21064Is he a Frenchman, think you, and does he take us for a slaver-- which, by the way, is not a very extraordinary mistake to make?
21064Is he--?"
21064Is the_ Barracouta_ in?"
21064Is there anything else?"
21064Lose whom?
21064May I have San Domingo again as cabin steward, sir?"
21064Now then,"he continued, turning to Martin again,"will you obey my orders, or must I make yer?"
21064Now, I wonder what their plan of attack will be?
21064Now, Juan, are you ready with the auger?"
21064Now, are you all ready?
21064Now, do you feel yourself to be in trim to face the examiners at any moment?"
21064Now, have you formed any plans for the conduct of this cruise?"
21064Now, how is that for a salve to your wounded feelings, eh?"
21064Now, what d''ye think of that, sir, for a mess?"
21064Now, what is to be done?
21064Now, why should you not abandon your present mode of life?
21064Oh, yes, of course-- how came you to be a prisoner in the power of this man Ricardo?"
21064Or again, admitting such a possibility, what dreadful happening could have wrung from human lips such blood- curdling sounds?
21064Ricardo?
21064Senor sounds so very formal, does it not?"
21064Senorita sounds so very formal, does it not?"
21064Shall I take you aft and introjuce you to him?"
21064Shoulder, eh?
21064So you think that craft yonder is your ship, do you?"
21064Surely they are not going to endeavour to tow the brig within gunshot of us, are they?
21064THE PIRATE BRIG AGAIN?
21064The question now arose in my mind whether she would endeavour to dodge us during the night?
21064The question was: Where was I to obtain one?
21064Then there was the puzzling question: How did we get where we were?
21064There-- now do you see her, sir, just under that patch of black cloud?"
21064Wha''dat?"
21064What about the stewards?"
21064What boats are those?"
21064What canvas are we under?"
21064What could I do, under such circumstances, but hand over my card, still protesting?
21064What d''ye mean by settin''foot on this part of the deck against Mr Tonkin''s express orders?
21064What does this mean?
21064What happened then?"
21064What is the extent of the damage, and what have you done with the_ Dolores_?
21064What is the young English senor to Senor Ricardo, I wonder, that he should be cared for thus?"
21064What say you, senor; do you feel inclined to accede to his request?"
21064What was everybody doing that no one saw the land or heard the roar of the surf in time to avoid running the ship ashore?
21064What was my duty, under the circumstances?
21064What were the look- outs doing?
21064When did it happen?"
21064Where did you find all these things, eh?"
21064Where is he?"
21064Which is the worse, your shoulder or your head?
21064Who can say?"
21064Who has been talking to you about Mowbray?
21064Why not take that treasure then, and go away to some part of the world where you are not known, and there begin life afresh?"
21064Why not take the brig herself?
21064Why should I not?"
21064Will you have some ham, or some tongue, or a little of both?"
21064Will you join us?"
21064Will you not think the matter over again, and this time with the determination to arrive at a right decision?"
21064Will you send a boat for them, or shall we lower one of ours?"
21064Would it be possible for me to accompany you on board?
21064You have heard, I suppose, that your schooner has been purchased into the service?"
21064You will not mind my leaving you in their charge, I hope?"
21064have n''t you got a knife about you, sir?
21064or had it, on the other hand, only inflamed them against us, and made them resolve to wreak a terrible revenge?
21064quoth the old woman as she watched the keen enjoyment with which I emptied the tumbler,"the senor likes that?
21064so you noticed that, did you?"
21064that is rather queer behaviour, is n''t it?"
21064what on earth has become of you?"
21064what ship is that?"
21748A better occupation, is n''t it,replied Harold, with a sly glance,"than to make a chimney- pot of my mouth?"
21748All ready,replied the half- caste, in a gruff tone of voice,"but what are you going to do with these English brutes?"
21748An''no more growlin''?
21748An''wot did he get for himself?
21748An''yer goin''to take Jumbo as yer walley?
21748And Maraquita-- I mean his daughter-- what of her?
21748And his armed followers?
21748And what if they be not willing to go with us?
21748And who is your master?
21748And why may not I stay to assist you, father, in this wonderful man- mystery of transacting business?
21748Antonio,cried the chief, in a voice that brought the interpreter to his side in a twinkling;"what name did the white man speak just now?"
21748Are there many o''them fellows hereabouts?
21748Are you sure, Davis?
21748Ay, ay, sir.--Jumbo, you black- faced villain, d''ee hear that? 21748 Ay, ay, sir?"
21748Azinte? 21748 Besides, his wife_ may_ be alive, for all we know to the contrary.--How far did he say the village was from where we landed, Antonio?"
21748But have you no pity for them? 21748 But what if you''re in the wrong, and the colours are nailed?"
21748But-- but--he stammered,"if they wo n''t come--?"
21748By whose orders?
21748Can twelve men not manage two?
21748Chanz; wat am chanz?
21748Clap a stopper on yer noise, will''ee?
21748Come you from man- of- war?
21748Could n''t you intimidate him into disgorging a little of his knowledge?
21748Crabs, is it?
21748D''ye think it is? 21748 Dead?"
21748Did he consider himself cheap or dear at that?
21748Did he? 21748 Did you excogitate anything more?"
21748Did you know her well?
21748Did_ you_ enjoy it when you first began?
21748Dis? 21748 Do n''t they do mischief sometimes?"
21748Do these men know our trade?
21748Do you know anything of her history?
21748Do you know where she is gone?
21748Do you speak English?
21748Do you understand English?
21748Does he intend to touch at Zanzibar?
21748Does the consul know what tribe has captured them?
21748Dunno; s''pose where dog be mans be?
21748Father, why did you sell her without saying a word to me about your intention? 21748 Foolish boy,"said the Senhorina, smiling through her tears,"what is the use of telling me that?
21748For sale?
21748For what end?
21748Has a woman of your tribe, named Marunga, been slain or captured?
21748Have they changed so much of late?
21748Have they? 21748 Have we much chance of findin''them?"
21748He must go somewhere to land these, I presume?
21748He never eats man, does he?
21748How can you have the heart,said Harold at last turning to Yoosoof,"to treat these poor creatures so cruelly?"
21748How d''you know I ca n''t enjoy it?
21748How dare''ee go to sleep on dooty?
21748How did you find us, Zombo?
21748How long is it since you were married?
21748How many dhows have you got?
21748How much?
21748How mush vill''oo gif?
21748How should I know? 21748 How would you like to go with me to the Cape of Good Hope, Kambira?"
21748How you make that out?
21748How? 21748 I might reply by asking,"said Harold, with a smile,"how comes it that you are so well acquainted with Azinte?
21748I need not ask why you wish to go,he added,--"you go to seek Azinte?"
21748I say, Mister Harold, ai n''t it splendid?
21748I thought you understood Portuguese?
21748I''spose you''ve bin up in these parts before now, have''ee?
21748If that be so, how comes it that_ you_ were surprised to see us?
21748Is all ready, Moosa?
21748Is he?
21748Is it good?
21748Is n''t this jolly?
21748Is not de chief de fader of de peepil? 21748 Is she young an''good- lookin''?"
21748Is there no one to act for the Governor in his absence?
21748It''s my ambition to let fly a broadside at a lion or a elephant so I means for to go on; an''wot I says is, Who wolunteers to sail in company?
21748It''ud never do to let his sperrits down;''cause w''y? 21748 Look at the coast,"returned the captain;"where would you beach her?
21748Looks well-- eh? 21748 Lost her child?
21748Man, why do n''t ye wash yer face?
21748Maraquita,said Senhor Letotti, still somewhat petulantly, though with more of remonstrance in his tone,"how can you speak so foolishly?
21748May I ask,continued Harold,"what your occupation is?"
21748May n''t we go with''ee, mister-- what''s your name?
21748My what?
21748No?
21748Ob no use?
21748On the old terms?
21748Please me, sir, w''y should n''t it please me? 21748 Plenty vat?"
21748Sailum, eh? 21748 So that perhaps, it would be better not to nail them at all, unless you''re very sure-- eh?"
21748Surely you do n''t intend to risk the lives of these poor creatures in such a surf?
21748Tak mans, wot d''ee mean by that?
21748Tell me, Yoosoof,resumed Harold, prompted by strong curiosity,"why have you carried us off bound in this fashion?"
21748Tell me,resumed Senhor Letotti,"how do you propose to elude the English cruiser?
21748Terra? 21748 That''s the man to_ my_ mind,"said Disco emphatically;"good luck to him.--But w''en d''you mean to start for the Zambizzy, sir?"
21748The Zambesi; did you never hear of it before?
21748Then I''spose''ee do n''t approve of the slave- trade?
21748Then do you agree to go with me?
21748Upon my word, if you have not gone stark mad, you must have had a sunstroke,said Harold, coming forward,"what''s the matter?"
21748Very good,rejoined Harold, laughing;"then as to sleep, I enjoy sleep quite as soundly as yourself; do n''t I?"
21748W''y, wot do''ee mean for to do with''em?
21748W''y, wot''s wrong with''ee, man,exclaimed Disco, on observing the blank look of Antonio''s countenance;"do n''t''ee savay that?"
21748Was um''s growl very bad?
21748Was''ee thinkin''that he deserved to be shoved in there?
21748Wat''um see?
21748We fire right in de middel ob de lot?
21748Well now,cried Disco, unable to restrain himself as he turned to Harold,"did ever two unfortnits meet wi''sitch luck?
21748Well then, I enjoy my food as well, and can eat as much, ca n''t I?
21748Well, I_ am_ thinking,replied Harold, affecting a look of profound thoughtfulness,"but I ca n''t quite make it out-- enjoyment?
21748Well, Mr Lindsay, has Jackson been of any use to you?
21748Well, then, ai n''t the whole lot of you a set of mean scoundrels?
21748Well, then, if you did n''t, that proves that it is not_ natural_ to smoke, and why should I acquire an unnatural and useless habit?
21748Well, what do you suggest?
21748Well, wot if I do? 21748 Whar dat?"
21748What can we do?
21748What dat''oo say?
21748What do you mean?
21748What has come of him now?
21748What has he been doing?
21748What news?
21748What now, Antonio?
21748What now, Kambira?
21748What now?
21748What old tones?
21748What then do you propose to do?
21748What would you say to cotton cloth, and thick brass wire, and glass beads, being the chief currency in Central Africa?
21748What''s the matter with him?
21748What''s the matter with that fellow?
21748What''s the matter?
21748What''s the matter?
21748What? 21748 What_ can_ you speak, then?"
21748What_ is_ the matter, man?
21748Where away?
21748Where come you from?
21748Where is Marizano?
21748Where''s Jumbo?
21748Who are you, and what do you want?
21748Who are you?
21748Who are_ you_?
21748Who told you that? 21748 Why impossible?
21748Why not man-- why not?
21748Why not?
21748Why so?
21748Why so?--is cruelty a necessity?
21748Why, what d''you mean?
21748Why, what!--where did_ you_ come from?
21748Why? 21748 Will the white man''s gun kill so far?"
21748Will you be ready to start soon?
21748Wot have''ee got there?
21748Wot may it be, Tony?
21748Wot''s the matter with her, poor thing?
21748Wot,asked he,"does you feel?"
21748Would you like to see what our guns can do?
21748Ye do n''t say that?
21748Yoo''s_ sure_ you hit um?
21748You ai n''t burnt, are you?
21748You do n''t know? 21748 You do n''t mean it, sir?"
21748You do n''t say so?
21748You do n''t suppose, sir, that I would nail''em to the mast except I was sure, wery sure, that I wos right? 21748 You means wot you say, I s''pose?"
21748You says your prayers, sir, do n''t you?
21748You tell me he has a number of captured slaves already in his ship?
21748_ You_ call yourself a chief, do you-- eh?
21748''Oo like see me catch um?"
21748After marching about half an hour he stopped abruptly and said, with a heavy sigh,--"I hope we have n''t missed our way?"
21748An''wot''s the''arth?"
21748And ai n''t these Banyans Indian merchants-- subjects of Great Britain?"
21748Are they sure?"
21748Are you incurable already?"
21748Are you not ashamed of yourself?
21748But do n''t kill me, master, for if you do, who is there to look after your other women?
21748But how am I to know you are English?"
21748But what think you of our plan, now that Kambira is ready to fall in with it?"
21748Can dere be peepil widout a fader-- eh?
21748Can it do any good to Azinte?"
21748Can you tell us whether there is a town or a village in the neighbourhood?
21748Clap a stopper on your bellows, will''ee?"
21748D''ee understand?
21748Dar, don''you zee um''s skin,-- t''other side?
21748Did n''t he say that what- dee- call- the- place-- his village-- was a strong place, and could be easily held by a few brave men?"
21748Disco occasionally made known the fact that such, or something unusual, had transpired, by the sudden and violent exclamation of"What''s that?"
21748Do I not enjoy as good health as you do?"
21748Do n''t you think they have hearts and feelings like ourselves?"
21748Do you intend to go with us?"
21748Do you know to what part of the coast he intended to convey her?"
21748God made de chief-- who says dat chief is not wise?
21748Good pay and hard work, and all the grub that''s goin''-- what could a man want more?
21748Harold therefore shook_ his_ head;--then, with a hopeful look, said"French?"
21748Harold thought he would venture another question:--"In what sort of goods do you trade?"
21748Harold, who regarded this proceeding with some surprise, said to Kambira-- through Antonio--"Who are you cooking that for?"
21748Have you not enough of money?"
21748How am I to make sure that your leaders are English?
21748How came you to discover us?
21748How could he, seeing that men and women and children-- if black-- fled from him, and such as he, in abject terror?
21748How long is it since Azinte was taken away from you?"
21748How say you?"
21748I could tell you-- but,''says he, pullin''up sudden,` you wo n''t split on me, messmate?''
21748I say, wot''s wrong with Tony?"
21748I suppose I''ve been delirious, have I?"
21748If it ai n''t the right day,_ we_ ca n''t help it; moreover, wot''s the odds?
21748If it be right that we should not interfere with the Zanzibar institution, why should we interfere with that of Arabia or Persia?
21748If it is righteous to constrain the Sultan of Zanzibar, is it not equally so to compel the King of Portugal?
21748Is that so?"
21748Is this consistent?
21748Is-- is he dead?"
21748Listen; do n''t''ee hear''em?"
21748Marizano,"exclaimed Senhor Letotti, rising,"you have thought better of it, I presume?"
21748Men have beards and whiskers; women have none, and what kind of creature would woman be without whiskers, and without a pelele?
21748Need we say that Harold leaped joyfully at the proposal?
21748Now, then,"he added, pointing straight at the girl,"you-- what''s you name, eh?"
21748Presently Kambira raised his head, and a smile chased the frown away as he said--"You have been kind to Azinte, will you be kind to her husband?"
21748So Chibanti him say,` What de use of be free?''
21748Starve?
21748The Arab repeated the shake of his head, but after a moments''thought said,"I know littil Engleesh; speak, where comes you?"
21748The question in debate was, Whether the two toes of the ostrich represented the thumb and forefinger in man, or the little and ring fingers?
21748Then he turned sharp round and looked at me for all the world as if he meant to say` wot d''ee mean by that?
21748There, ai n''t that a good head, Jumbo?"
21748This last was too much for poor Frizzyhead, who leaped up, stuttered, and cried--"Can''oo outrun me, then?"
21748W''ere''s the difference?
21748W''y, you have n''t spoke like that, sir, for-- but, surely-- are you better, or is this on''y another dodge o''yer madness?"
21748Was n''t that strange-- wasn''t it curious?
21748We ask again, how could he?
21748We could govern ourselves betterer, so what de use of''um?
21748Well, is that all?
21748Well, then, I suppose it''s settled that we go?"
21748Well, what sort of wares have you got to sell?"
21748What am I to do?
21748What do you mean?
21748What does Kambira think of the white man''s gun?"
21748What has the boy done to merit such inhuman chastisement?"
21748What more natural than that the Captain should fall in with the pirate?
21748What say you?"
21748What shall we do with him?"
21748What would you say, Antonio, to twenty yards of cotton cloth a month, and a gun into the bargain at the end, if you do your work well?"
21748When do we start?"
21748Where did you come from?"
21748Where to?"
21748Who are you, and where are you going?"
21748Who knows but the slavers may be at our huts while we lie idly here?
21748Why did you not bring down the Manganja men and women you say are with you?"
21748Why do n''t you kill your own beef?
21748Why not beach her somewhere on the coast?
21748Will a hundred men and guns suffice?"
21748Will you take me with you to the shores of the great salt lake?"
21748Wot''s the Latin, now, for heaven?"
21748Yambo''s name signified"how are you?"
21748You could not have found us by mere chance in this wilderness?"
21748You laugh if you hear de womans ask me yesterday--`Why you wash?''
21748You''re quite sure he do n''t, I''spose?"
21748` Had you lost your senses, to risk your life for a brute of a negro?''
21748` Were you drunk?''
21748and was probably bestowed on him because of a strongly benevolent tendency to greet friend and stranger alike with a hearty"how d''ee do?"
21748breakfast''s ready-- where are you?"
21748cried Maraquita, seizing her father''s hands,"not sold to that man Marizano?"
21748demanded the captain, with a look of supreme contempt,"what if Zanzibar_ was_ ruined?
21748do you mean sold?"
21748do you see yonder two men, and the girl walking behind them?"
21748exclaimed Disco in surprise;"that nigger seems to have took a sudden fancy to the cur?--Eh, Antonio, wot''s the reason of that, think''ee?"
21748exclaimed Disco, with a broad grin;"may I ax wot ye paid for her?"
21748exclaimed the latter sternly, with mingled remonstrance and rebuke in his tone,"how_ can_ you be so cruel?
21748have you anything to sell?"
21748how-- wot d''ee mean?"
21748repeated the sailor, bringing his fist down on the table before him with such force that the glasses danced on it and the dust flew up;"for what?
21748said Kambira, in a low, pathetic tone,"will you make me your servant, your slave?"
21748said he,"you are the blackguard that we met and pretty nigh shot when we first came to these parts, eh?
21748she cried with increasing vehemence;"would_ you_ listen with patience to any one who should talk to you of another as good as Maraquita?"
21748she said;"the other people tied and starved us, but you cut the ropes and tell us to eat; what sort of people are you?
21748the scoundrel in advance?"
21748what can one expect from such cattle?
21748where?"
21748wot d''ee mean?"
21748yoos ill?"
10633And first,--Are there no strangers whom we oppress? 10633 But necessity is pretended, the name under which every enormity is attempted to be justified; and after all, what is the necessity?
10633An honourable member had asked on a former day,"Is it an excuse for robbery to say that another would hare committed it?"
10633And have they not the same sensibility?
10633And what could the committee have done without the parliamentary aid of Mr. Wilberforce?
10633And what do we first see here?
10633And what man, seeing this, And having human feelings, does not blush And hang his head to think himself a man?
10633And what object is that which first obtrudes itself upon our sight?
10633And whither shall we go now?
10633And yet what would my worthy friend have said, if in this first instance I had opposed him?
10633And, after all these horrors, what was their destiny?
10633Are cruisers the only men over whom motives have no influence?
10633Are not our feelings usually affected according to the situation, or the magnitude, or the importance of these?
10633Are they not men as well as we?
10633Are they not more or less elevated again, as we have found it more or less considerable in extent?
10633Ask him, if your knotted scourges, Fetters, blood- extorting screws, Are the means, which duty urges Agents of his will to use?
10633Because a practise had existed, did it necessarily follow that it was just?
10633Besides, by what law would you enter into every man''s domestic concerns, and regulate the interior economy of his house and plantation?
10633Besides, how could we distinguish between those who were justly or unjustly reduced to it?
10633But allowing it its full force, would there be no honour in the dereliction of such a commerce?
10633But are we relieved even here from afflicting spectacles?
10633But before the last of these had left the council room, who should come up to me but Dr. Arnold?
10633But did cruelty cause the excess of deaths above births in the city of London?
10633But did not the Slave Trade convey ideas the very reverse of this definition?
10633But even if France were not to relinquish the trade, how could we, if justice required its abolition, hesitate as to our part of it?
10633But even if acts of barbarity should be related to them, how were they to come at the proof of them?
10633But from whom did the motion for further evidence( when that of the privy council was refused) originate, but from the enemies of the abolition?
10633But had such a trade as the Slave Trade ever existed before?
10633But how can we be said to love our brethren who bring, or, for selfish ends, keep them in bondage?
10633But how did these savages behave, when they had these different persons in their power?
10633But how did we know this?
10633But how was it possible, that to a demand so exceedingly fluctuating the supply should always exactly accommodate itself?
10633But how was this reconcilable with facts?
10633But how would every such successive improvement of their condition operate, but to bring them nearer to the state of freemen?
10633But how?
10633But if so, what would become of the argument of his honourable friend?
10633But if they and their masters hated this same measure, how was this coincidence of sentiment to give birth to insurrections?
10633But if this statement was just, would not the abolition be beneficial to them?
10633But if we were to enforce this act with all the powers of the country, how could it fail to be effectual?
10633But it was said to him,"Did you never order such a thing to be done?"
10633But might he not be reduced to this state very unjustly, and yet by no means contrary to the African laws?
10633But on what principles did we usually respect the institutions of antiquity?
10633But suppose it were allowed that self- interest might operate some little against cruelty; yet where was the interest of the overseer or the driver?
10633But suppose, for the sake of argument, that they were to take it up, what good would it do them?
10633But there the question still recurred,"Are these things true?"
10633But to what were these changes owing?
10633But to whom?
10633But upon whom did the cruelties, thus arising out of the prosecution of this barbarous traffic, fall?
10633But was Africa the place, where Englishmen, above all others, were to go to find out and punish adultery?
10633But was not the reason obvious?
10633But was not this the insanity of arbitrary power?
10633But was this the case with the Slave Trade?
10633But were no others lost beside the one hundred and twenty and the twelve?
10633But what had Mr. Long said, when he addressed himself to those planters, who were desirous of attempting improvements on their estates?
10633But what kind of morality was this?
10633But what regulations by the British parliament could prevent these contagions, or remove them suddenly, when they appeared?
10633But what right had we to be judges of their condition?
10633But what said the historians of Africa, long before the question of the abolition was started?
10633But what should happen, just at this moment, to increase the clamour against us?
10633But what should we say, if it should turn out, that we were the causes of those very cruelties, which we affected to prevent?
10633But what then say these sincere worshippers of Mammon?
10633But what then?
10633But what was the sequel?
10633But what was this but an acknowledgment of the manner, in which these miserable beings, were treated?
10633But what would be the amount of it?
10633But where was the analogy of the eases?
10633But who could return these to their homes, or make them compensation for their sufferings during their long journeyings?
10633But who had ever charged him with refusing to pay his debts?
10633But why did he not give his own sentiments boldly to the world on this great question?
10633But why had the trade ever been permitted at all?
10633But why, when our eyelids are but just closed, do we find ourselves thus suddenly awakened?
10633But would he say that these were all he had lost in that voyage?
10633But, after the child was dead, whom should the barbarian select to throw it overboard, but the wretched mother?
10633But, if it were not so, ought the first nation in the world to condescend to be the executioner of savages?
10633But, supposing that they were all to continue it, would not our honour be the greater?
10633By giving birth to that misery themselves, do they not become abandoned?
10633By what means was it kept up in Africa?
10633Can the direct and inevitable tendency of the head- money system be doubted?
10633Can those have nothing to answer for, who separate the faithful ties which nature and religion have created?
10633Could it be called humanity to forbear committing murder?
10633Could they be in all places at once?
10633Could this language be applied to the present state of West India slavery?
10633Could we establish tribunals all along the coast, and in every ship, to find it out?
10633Did he not also forget the sacred attention which parliament had ever shown to the private interests and patrimonial rights of individuals?
10633Did he not by this position confound all notions of right and wrong in human institutions?
10633Did it become us to cast the first stone?
10633Did not all of them agree with Mr. Long, that the great danger in the West Indies arose from the importation of the African slaves there?
10633Did the inquiry then before the privy council prove a loss of time?
10633Did they not instantly retaliate by murdering them all?
10633Did your slaves ever complain to you of their unhappiness amidst their native woods and deserts?
10633Do the moral feelings of those persons escape without injury, whose hearts are hardened?
10633Do we act consistently with this noble principle, who lay such heavy burdens on our fellow creatures?
10633Does another fall prostrate beneath their power?
10633Does one man obtain a victory over his corrupt affections?
10633Five years had now elapsed since the question was first started, and what had any of them done?
10633For anything he knew, it might be physically true, that human blood was the best manure for the land; but who ought to shed it on that account?
10633For if he, who makes the virtuous attempt, should be prevented by death from succeeding in it, can he not speak, though in the tomb?
10633For what was it but murder to pursue a practice, which produced untimely death to thousands of innocent and helpless beings?
10633For what was more natural than that William Dillwyn, who was born and who had resided long in America, should have connexions there?
10633For what, for example, could I myself have done if I had not derived so much assistance from the committee?
10633For, in considerations of this kind, are we not usually influenced by circumstances?
10633Had anything happened to change the opinion of members, since?
10633Had he not ears?
10633Had he not organs, senses, and passions?
10633Had it begun in principles of justice or national honour, which the changes of the world alone had impaired?
10633Had it not been acknowledged by his opponents that the custom of ransoming slaves prevailed in Africa?
10633Had it to plead former services and glories in behalf of its present disgrace?
10633Had not Denmark given a noble example to the contrary?
10633Had not an African eyes?
10633Had not its calamities been imputed by its own deputies to the advocates for the abolition?
10633Had not the House altered the import of foreign sugar into our islands?
10633Had this been answered?
10633Had we never heard of seamen being flogged from ship to ship, or of soldiers dying in the very act of punishment?
10633Have not these unfortunate Africans, who meet with the same cruel fate, the same right?
10633Have they not enabled them to state that this trade began in piracy, and that it was continued upon the principles of force?
10633Have we navigated and conquered to save, to civilize, and to instruct; or to oppress, to plunder, and to destroy?
10633He asked me, first, whether, if the slaves were emancipated, there would not be much confusion in the islands?
10633He then asked what the planters would do for labourers?
10633He therefore asked his honourable friend, whether the period he had looked to was now arrived?
10633How could Africa ever be civilized under it?
10633How dared he, then, to use this selfish plea of interest against the voice of the generous sympathies of his nature?
10633How had he been attacked?
10633How long shall we continue a practice which policy rejects, justice condemns, and piety revolts at?"
10633How shall I describe their feelings as exposed to all the personal indignities, which lawless appetite or brutal passion may suggest?
10633How shall I give an idea of their agony when under various punishments and tortures for their reputed crimes?
10633How then were we to decide this important question?
10633How was this immense property and income to be preserved?
10633I accordingly accepted this offer, and began by asking those present"how long it was likely that the present National Assembly would sit?"
10633If on the ground of a moral evil it was to be abolished at last, why ought it not now?
10633If you poisoned him, would he not die?
10633If you pricked him, would he not feel the puncture, and bleed?
10633If, in his public situation, he had then set his face against it, where would have been our hope?
10633In a twelvemonth, then, what must be the proportion of the dead?
10633In seeing misery stalk daily over the land, do not all become insensibly hardened?
10633In the case of such an event large funds also would be wanted, and who so proper to procure and manage them as these?
10633Is no injustice manifest in the land, where the prince, unfaithful to his duty, seizes his innocent subjects, and sells them for slaves?
10633Is there no crime in perpetuating these evils among their innocent offspring?
10633Is there no injustice in forcing men to labour without wages?
10633Is there, as you sometimes tell us, Is there one, who rules on high; Has he bid you buy and sell us, Speaking from his throne, the sky?
10633Let vacant bards display their boasted woes; Shall I the mockery of grief display?
10633Now how did this language sound?
10633Now it would naturally be asked, was not this captain also gibbeted alive?
10633Now the question was, how the people, thus going up these rivers, obtained their slaves?
10633On what ground of theory or history did we act, when we supposed she was never to be reclaimed?
10633Or can the spirit of God, by which we have always professed to be led, be the author of these oppressive and unrighteous measures?
10633Ormond, after having talked with him some time, said,"Well, then, you believe Peter Green was actually murdered?"
10633Shall foreign plagues infest this teeming land, And more than sea- born monsters plough the main?
10633Ships were going occasionally from the port of London to Africa, and why could I not get on board them and examine for myself?
10633Should not we, on the other hand, be benefited by this change?
10633Should we delay, then, to repair these incalculable injuries?
10633Soon after this there was a general cry of"Will you take me, too?"
10633Still in thought as free as ever, What are England''s rights, I ask, Me from my delights to sever, Me to torture, me to task?
10633That the slaves then should have been guilty of great excesses, was not to be wondered at; for where did they learn their cruelty?
10633The body, though under affliction, may retain its shape; and, if it even perish, what is the loss of it but of worthless dust?
10633The great question was, what was I to do?
10633The latter asked who had punished him so dreadfully?
10633The question then was, how long they were to persevere in the crime of its continuance?
10633The question then was, which of the two they were to take as their object?
10633The whole country, he said, had petitioned; and was it any satisfaction to the country to be told, that the committee of privy council were inquiring?
10633Then what is man?
10633Then why offer a reward at all?
10633Then, upon what ground necessary?
10633They were advertised also, in the same papers, to be sold by auction, sometimes by themselves, and at others with horses, chaises, and harness?
10633They would have decried the policy of the measure of the abolition; and where had it been proved?
10633They would have demanded a reverse of it; and might they not in cooler moments have succeeded?
10633This work must be a work of many; and who so proper to assist in it as they, who had before so honourably laboured in it?
10633Thus, for instance, what bill could alter the nature of the human passions?
10633Thus,"And what have ye to do with me, O Tyre and Sidon, and all the coasts of Palestine?
10633To what end do we profess a religion whose dictates we so flagrantly violate?
10633Was he not then one of the very persons, whom I had so long been seeking, but in vain?
10633Was he then asking too much of the West Indians, to request a candid consideration of the real ground of their alarms?
10633Was it not clear, that all argument, founded on the supposed pledge of Parliament, made against those who employed it?
10633Was it not evident that the planters thought it more convenient to buy them fit for work, than to breed them?
10633Was it not folly to wait for the stream to run down before we crossed the bed of its channel?
10633Was it not plain that she must suffer from it?
10633Was it not the Slave Trade, which would destroy in time the cruel distinction he had mentioned?
10633Was it not, therefore, idle to rely upon them for the accomplishment of it?
10633Was it only at the outset that we could trace violence and injustice on the part of the Slave Trade?
10633Was it possible to believe that this number could have been legally convicted of crimes, for which they had justly forfeited their liberty?
10633Was it then a prudent thing for them to rest on this commerce for the further improvement of their property?
10633Was not the insanity of the masters of slave- ships to be accounted for on the same principles?
10633Was not this a reasonable conclusion, when they, the deputies, had almost all the first men in the Assembly in their favour?
10633Was not this an awful consideration for this country?
10633Was not this request a proof of the frequency of such acts of rapine?
10633We have no slaves at home-- then why abroad?
10633Were ever any scenes of horror equal to those which had passed there?
10633Were the oppressors and the oppressed so reconciled, that enmities ultimately ceased?
10633Were these, then, a people incapable of civilization?
10633Were they goods and chattels?
10633Were you not made miserable by your debased situation there?
10633What advantages, for instance, would they derive from this pestilential commerce to their marine?
10633What are the different ways of reducing to slavery the inhabitants of that part of Africa which is under the dominion of France?
10633What are the various evils belonging to the transportation of the Africans from their own country?
10633What bill could prevent fraud and violence in Africa, while the Slave Trade existed there?
10633What is that sudden rustling among the leaves?
10633What is the meaning of the noise around us, of the trampling of people''s feet, of the rustling of the bow, the quiver, and the lance?
10633What is the state of society there with respect to government, industry, and the arts?
10633What judges could we get for such an office?
10633What person would risk the comfort of his life by the exercise of so invidious an interference?
10633What savage race protects this impious gain?
10633What should we think of those who should say, that it was their interest to injure us?
10633What then was the importation of fresh Africans, but a system tending to the general ruin of the islands?
10633What then was the probability of our example being followed by foreign powers?
10633What then would they say to their continuance year after year, and from age to age?
10633What was the answer from Grenada?
10633What was the inference from this moderate assertion, but that we might as well supply them ourselves?
10633What was this but to say, that there were instruments in use which left indelible marks, behind them; and who would say that these were used justly?
10633What were the causes of the insurrections there?
10633What would be the consequence?
10633What would the house think, when by the concurring testimony of these the true history was laid open?
10633When a criminal was justly executed, was not the execution justice to him who suffered, and humanity to the body of the people at large?
10633When the grim lion urged his cruel chase, When the stern panther sought his midnight prey; What fate reserved me for this Christian race?
10633When they want no stimulus to perform their duty, why tell them that if the ship is empty, they get a hundred pounds: if laden, five thousand?
10633When they went to rest, would not their dreams be frightful?
10633Where are those rights?
10633Where bolder assertions of the rights of mankind, than in Tacitus and Thucydides?
10633Where could be found finer sentiments of liberty than in Demosthenes and Cicero?
10633Where else is the temper subject to such frequent irritation, or passion to such little control?
10633Where was he to be defended?
10633Where was the impracticability, on which alone so many had rested their objections?
10633Wherefore have we that pattern of goodness and humanity, if we refuse to follow it?
10633Whether it was humane, just, and politic in us so to place them?
10633Who ever read the facts recorded of Nero without suspecting he was mad?
10633Who hath stamped upon them so sacred a character as to silence mine?"
10633Who is he that just now started across the narrow pathway, as if afraid of a human face?
10633Who is that wretched woman whom we discover under that noble tree, wringing her hands, and beating her breast, as if in the agonies of despair?
10633Who knew anything of what was doing by the committee of privy council, or what progress they were making?
10633Who would endure such a law?
10633Who would not be apt to impute insanity to Caligula-- or Domitian-- or Caracalla-- or Commodus-- or Heliogabalus?
10633Why are those persons flying from our approach, and hiding themselves in yon darkest thicket?
10633Why did all- creating Nature Make the plant, for which we toil?
10633Why did he refuse to give it?
10633Why did we make laws to punish men?
10633Why then am I devoid of all to live That manly comforts to a man can give?
10633Why was injustice to be suffered to remain for a single hour?
10633Why were they then to be troubled again with arguments of this nature?
10633Why, then, should we promote them in the West Indies?
10633Why?
10633Will not his works still breathe his sentiments upon it?
10633Will not the blessings which we have abused loudly testify against us?
10633Will not the blood which we have shed cry from the ground for vengeance upon our sins?"
10633Would any man estimate the character of the English nation by what was to be read in the records of the Old Bailey?
10633Would it be nothing publicly to recognise great and just principles?
10633Would not our virtue be the more signal?
10633Would they not be obliged to come to us, in consequence of the cheapness of our manufactures, for what they wanted for the African market?
10633Would they then sanction enormities, the bare recital of which made them shudder?
10633and that a trade of this nature, carried on round her coasts, must extend violence and desolation to her very centre?
10633and uprightly enslaved?
10633and what abuses were greater than robbery and murder?
10633and, if you wronged him, would he not revenge?
10633do you buy me, who am a great trader?"
10633have you laugh your fill?
10633that her savage manners must be rendered still more ferocious?
10633whether the West Indies, at this hour, were, not in a state in which they could maintain their population?
21714A slave- dealer?
21714A what, Bumble?
21714A wot?
21714Ai n''t it beautiful?
21714Ai n''t we all pursooers? 21714 All for_ one_ fish?"
21714An''are they a- crownin''of him now?
21714An''so you expec''s they''re goin''to make you a king for all that?
21714An''the boat?
21714An''warn''t the doctors right? 21714 And all,"continued Martha,"in consequence of his resolutely and obstinately, and wilfully and wickedly going to sea?"
21714And do you think he''d be so mean as to tell?
21714And how much is` so''much, Ailie?
21714And so, sir,said Captain Dunning,"you call this your` misfortune?''"
21714And they''ve got something to say to you about going to sea-- would you like to go?
21714And what, my pretty one,he said,"what should we do with the fellow in the stern?
21714And when are ye to be crowned, Bumble?
21714And when''s that?
21714And who''s to pay for our foretopsail- yard?
21714Are not all serpents poisonous?
21714Are you quite sure of that? 21714 Are you quite sure of that?"
21714Ay, greedy; has any o''you lads got a dickshunairy to lend him? 21714 Been to sea as a cook?"
21714Blowed away?
21714But are you sure your messmates are as willing as you are to witness against the captain?
21714But have you not seen Rokens or Briant?
21714But what''s the fire for?
21714But where did ye come from, an''why are they arter ye, lad?
21714But, I say, lads,interposed Jim Scroggles, seriously,"wot''ll we do if it comes on to blow a gale and blows away all our purvisions?"
21714By the bye, Millons, did n''t you once fall into a whale''s skull, and get nearly drowned in oil?
21714Can it be?
21714Can it have been Glynn?
21714Can you? 21714 Can_ you_ get un for us?"
21714Come now, avic, wot''s the raisin ye wo n''t go? 21714 Could n''t we have the tipple first?"
21714Could you not,she said, in a half- whisper,"cut the rope, and then paddle away back while_ they_ are paddling down the river?"
21714D''ye hear?
21714D''ye see it, Ailie? 21714 Dear child, what can you possibly know about law?"
21714Did anybody else ever see it?
21714Did n''t you, ma''am?
21714Did ye ever see that word in Johnson?
21714Did you ever see_ three_ kittens together?
21714Did you hear that?
21714Did you not tell me a few minutes ago that the water was almost done?
21714Do n''t I know wot''s best for ye? 21714 Do n''t ye know that_ we_ is the purshooers,''cause why?
21714Do n''t you see your drogue has broke loose?
21714Do n''t you think it will be required?
21714Do n''t you think our house will fall, dear papa?
21714Do n''t you think, dear, Martha, that there''s some more of that word on the next line?
21714Do whales go to school?
21714Do you ever swear?
21714Do you see that mountain?
21714Do you think that we can continue to exist if our daily allowance is reduced one- fourth?
21714Does God work miracles still?
21714Eh? 21714 Eh?"
21714Even suppose we were strong enough to punish them, what good would it do? 21714 Fat you say, sare?"
21714George,said Martha, drying her eyes, and speaking in tones of deep solemnity,"did you ever read_ Robinson Crusoe_?"
21714Girl,said the captain, turning suddenly towards her,"is breakfast ready?"
21714Harm? 21714 Have whales got brains?"
21714Have you a madman on board your ship?
21714Have you really anything to say to me about that ship?
21714He said that, did he? 21714 Here you are, lassies; how are ye?"
21714Here''s a puzzler wot''ll beat it, though,observed Tim Rokens;"suppose we all go on talkin''stuff till doomsday, w''en''ll the boat be finished?"
21714How are you so sure it was n''t that?
21714How can you, brother?
21714How can you?
21714How deep is it, Glynn?
21714How do you know?
21714How far?
21714How many casks did you bury?
21714How much do you claim for damages, George?
21714How much?
21714How so, Ailie? 21714 How would you like to go with me to the whale- fishery?"
21714How? 21714 I ax yer parding, sir,"said Tim Rokens, addressing Dr Hopley;"but I''m curious to know if crocodiles has got phrenoligy?"
21714I s''pose I may set here till ye come back?
21714I say, Dr Hopley,remarked Captain Dunning, as he gazed intently into the gloom astern,"did you not hear voices?
21714I suppose you mean a suggestion, eh?
21714I think we may say, what has brought_ you_ here?
21714I wonder why God made them?
21714I''ll be the death o''that brute yet,said Gurney, wiping the perspiration from his forehead;"but go on, Rokens; what was it you saw?"
21714I''m sorry for that,replied the child;"for a fire is_ so_ nice and cheery; and it helps to keep off the wild beasts, too, does n''t it?"
21714If you are Jacko''s self- appointed uncle, and Miss Ailie is his adopted mother, wot relation is Miss Ailie to you?
21714In course I do n''t; how should I?
21714Is any one inclined to try it?
21714Is everything snug, Mr Millons?
21714Is he dead?
21714Is it good?
21714Is it?
21714Is n''t Tim Rokens very funny, papa?
21714Is n''t it strange, Glynn, that there are such ugly beasts in the world?
21714Is n''t what funny?
21714Is she?
21714Is that a bit o''the wreck?
21714Is that all?
21714Is that another on ahead?
21714Is there nobody to look arter these matters in Christian lands?
21714Is your mistress at home?
21714Is_ this_ your favourite tipple?
21714Is_ who_ dead?
21714It was rather odd,replied Glynn;"but where did you go after that?"
21714It''s meself ca n''t tell,replied Briant;"d''ye know, Tim?"
21714Like what, papa?
21714Looking at the fish, Ailie, as usual?
21714May he?
21714Me ketch''i m?
21714Me tell a story? 21714 Messmates,"said Tim Rokens, who for some time had leaned with both elbows on his oar and his face buried in his hands,"wot d''ye say to a bath?
21714No, never,replied the captain;"what has that got to do with it?"
21714Not goin''to be king? 21714 Not ready for supper?"
21714Now, what am I to do with it? 21714 Now, what''s wrong?"
21714O, why did ye kill her?
21714Obey orders, will you?
21714Oh, Glynn, is that you? 21714 Oh, it''s_ him_ you mean, is it?
21714Oh, nonsense, why not?
21714Oh, thank you, Glynn; but why did you go down so quick and stay so long? 21714 Oh, that''s a pity, is n''t it, Glynn?"
21714Oh, then we went on, and on again, until we came to--"It''s your turn at the wheel, lad, ai n''t it?
21714Oh, then you did_ not_ see the drogue attached to the whale?
21714Plaze, sir, may I shoot him?
21714Say, is it? 21714 See who?"
21714Shall I give the order, sir?
21714Shall we ever see land again?
21714Shall we go back an''pick it up, sir?
21714Shall we sleep here till morning?
21714So he does,said Ailie;"is n''t it funny?"
21714So much? 21714 Sure?
21714Tell both of''em I''m here, then,said the captain, stepping into the little parlour without further ceremony;"and is my little girl in?"
21714The eggs?
21714Then I suppose you have no objection to try a glass of my favourite tipple, have you?
21714Then why ai n''t Bibles sent to''em at once?
21714Then why do n''t they git more funds?
21714Then,argued Martha,"will you, can you, George, contemplate the possibility of your only daughter coming to the same dreadful end?"
21714There''s ever so many Johnsons in the world; which on''em all do you mean?
21714Too bad, indeed; yes, is n''t it?
21714W''y? 21714 We are certain of nothing,"replied the captain;"but even suppose we were, how are we to get hold of them?"
21714Well, Ailie,said Glynn, cheerfully, as he opened the door and peeped in;"how d''ye get on, dear?
21714Well, Millons, what news?
21714Well, and what does skulking mean, and shirking work?
21714Well, it''s so long ago since I sung that song, shipmates,replied Gurney,"that I''ve bin and forgot it; but Tim Rokens knows it; where''s Rokens?"
21714Well, we came up with a big whale, and fixed an iron cleverly in him at the first throw--"An iron?
21714Well,began Ailie;"but where was I?"
21714Were the other men as eager for the fight as you were?
21714Werry good,returned Rokens;"but wot makes ye for to expect it?"
21714What are they saying to you to- night?
21714What are you going to do with the wood, papa?
21714What d''ye say to dig a hole and stick the things in it?
21714What do they spear them for?
21714What do you mean by striking that fish?
21714What has detained you, eh?
21714What have you got to say, then?
21714What is it?
21714What is that?
21714What mean you by stopping me?
21714What mean you, sir?
21714What mischief have you been about?
21714What nonsense you talk, George; but I suppose you really do use pretty large hooks and lines when you fish for whales?
21714What now? 21714 What right have you to ask?"
21714What''s come of Glynn?
21714What''s that?
21714What''s that?
21714What''s the very ticket?
21714What?
21714What?
21714What_ can_ have done it? 21714 Where away now?"
21714Where away?
21714Which is it, doctor dear?
21714Who from?
21714Who''s Johnson?
21714Who''s that?
21714Who''s the` pursooers?''
21714Who, then? 21714 Who?
21714Why did n''t you heave- to when I ordered you,he said,"and so save all this trouble and worry?"
21714Why do n''t you go away when you''re told, eh?
21714Why not?
21714Why not?
21714Why, Glynn, what has kept you, lad?
21714Why, what have you got there?
21714Why, what would you do with it, Dick?
21714Why, what''s the matter, man?
21714Why, what''s wrong?
21714Why?
21714Will it do you much harm, dear, papa?
21714Will no one call out murder?
21714With or without capers- sauce?
21714Wo n''t I?
21714Wo n''t he?
21714Wo n''t we leave it, dear papa,said she,"to go up yonder?"
21714Wo n''t you come in and say it here?
21714Wos he a big or a little feller?
21714Wot can it be a- doin''of here?
21714Wot can it be?
21714Wot then?
21714Wot was it?
21714Wot''s a Solon?
21714Wot''s he bin doin''?
21714Wot''s that there soup made of?
21714Wot, do n''t ye know who Johnson is?
21714Wot?
21714Would you like a little more tart?
21714Would you?
21714Yes, Ailie; the one in the middle, you mean, do n''t you? 21714 You ai n''t afraid, air you?"
21714You are quite sure that you saw it?
21714You do n''t mane to tell me, now, that_ whalers_ comes in here for slaves, do ye?
21714You do n''t mean it?
21714You do n''t suppose I''d go fur to tell lies, do you?
21714You do n''t, do n''t you?
21714You may sit there till they turn you out; but come and take breakfast with me at the same hour to- morrow, will ye?
21714You no tell what I go to say? 21714 You wants a cook, I b''lieve?"
21714You''ll stay a long time with me before you go away to sea again, wo n''t you, dear papa?
21714You''re a cook, are you?
21714You''re quite sure of that? 21714 _ Quite_ dead?"
21714` We''ve been all''--I ca n''t make this word out, can you, dear?
21714` Why do n''t you ask himself?'' 21714 ` Will ye come an''see it this night?''
21714` Wot''s all to do?'' 21714 ` Would n''t I?''
21714A dog- kennel, eh?"
21714Ai n''t it?
21714All ready?"
21714And did n''t I hear the convarse o''all the doctors in the place?
21714And did n''t they go through adventures that would have made the hair of mortals not only stand on end, but fly out by the roots altogether?
21714Anything more?"
21714Are you one?"
21714Are you ready, my pet?
21714At last Ailie held her hand towards it and said--"Wo n''t it come to me, dear, sweet pet?
21714At last he emitted several strong puffs of smoke, and said--"Young man, did you ever_ see_ your own mind?"
21714Being apparently satisfied with the man''s account of himself, Captain Dunning put to him the question--"Do you drink?"
21714Besides, the rascals in front might take it into their heads to paddle after us, you know, and what then?"
21714Both ladies exclaimed,"What point, George?"
21714Business first, and pleasure, if ye can get it, arterwards-- them''s my notions, Nip-- Nip-- Nippi-- what''s your name?"
21714But tell me, Ailie, how was it that you managed to keep afloat so long?
21714Can you, Jane?"
21714Come, Jim Scroggles, you can tell him what it means-- you''ve been to school, I believe, hain''t you?"
21714D''ye see that whale now?"
21714D''ye think the bottle o''brandy stole his- self?"
21714Dear me, Martha, you and Jane-- look as if you had been running a race, eh?
21714Did Glynn speak to you within the last ten minutes?"
21714Did I niver tell ye o''the Widdy Morgan, as had a ghost come to see her frequently?"
21714Did any of ye iver study midsin?"
21714Did n''t I say that I''d tell ye a story as would prove to ye that ghosts drink, more especially Irish ghosts?
21714Did n''t he lamp two on''em with a rope''s- end once till they wos fit to bust, and all for nothin''but skylarkin''?
21714Did n''t he make them talk, as mortals never talked before; and sing as mortals never dreamed of?
21714Did n''t yer poor owld mother tell ye, Phil, that ye''d come to a bad end-- she did--""Are ye badly hurt?"
21714Did you find out who the poor fellow is yet?"
21714Do n''t they look so_ very_ like as if they were all painted black?"
21714Do n''t you observe it''s''cause he han''t got none at all to see?
21714Do n''t you think, captain, that we might have our breakfast to- night?
21714Do you know which part of the whale struck your boat?
21714Do you think it was the Holy Spirit who put them into my mind?
21714Doctor, can you tell me now, which is the easiest of digestion-- a hard egg or a soft one?"
21714Else, wherefore does the Father love it and care for it so tenderly?
21714Glynn, Glynn Proctor,"roared the first mate from the deck--"where''s that fellow?
21714Glynn,"exclaimed Ailie, in a whisper-- for she felt that things were beginning to look serious--"what_ are_ we to do?"
21714God would not make me feel so happy if we were going to be lost, would He?"
21714Have ye sich an article in these parts?"
21714Have you breakfasted?"
21714Have you caught any codlings, Bumble?"
21714Have you had a glass this morning?"
21714Have you thought?"
21714He han''t got even the ghost of one, so how could ye expect anybody to see it?"
21714He''ll take such famous care of me; now_ wo n''t_ you let me go, papa?"
21714How came you to leave your cabin, dear?
21714How d''ye know that?"
21714How wos it, now, that you so mistook yer trade as to come for to go to sea?"
21714I could only just make out the winder by the pale starlight that shone through it, but the moment I set my two eyes on it, wot does I see?
21714I looks round in all directions, but I could n''t see nothin''--cause why?
21714I was born at sea, d''ye see?
21714I wonder if it was a poisonous serpent?"
21714I''ve found ye, have I?
21714Is floating on your back a miracle?"
21714Is n''t that the usual way of serving these fellows out?"
21714Is there a chorus to it?"
21714It treats every one ill.""Wo n''t it treat Captain Dixon well, if he wins, aunt?"
21714Jim says he never seed his own mind-- very good; and he says as how nobody else niver seed it nother; well, and wot then?
21714Kit stowed and anchor tripped?
21714Let me go, will ye?"
21714Might it not have been the part of the fish near the tail, now, that struck you, or the fin just under the tail?"
21714Not love our fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, wives?
21714Now, what say you?
21714Now, wot then?"
21714Serves him right; do n''t it, Glynn?"
21714So again I say, who cried` Shame?''"
21714So it wos you stole the brandy, wos it?
21714Tarquin?"
21714The mate came close to the captain''s side and said,"Did you see, sir, the way them men on the mainyard were scramblin''down?"
21714Then he thought,"What if I have turned just as I was coming up with her?"
21714There ai n''t no ghosts, is there?''
21714W''at say you, doctor?"
21714Was it grand, Glynn?"
21714Was it not the_ third_ oar, now?"
21714Was it the head?"
21714Was n''t it funny?
21714Was n''t it odd?"
21714Was n''t it strange?
21714Was n''t we all pursooing the whale together?"
21714Was the drogue attached when the boat came up?
21714Well, now, what have you to tell me about the_ Termagant_?
21714Well, reader, and why not?
21714Well, wan evenin''I wint to see her, an''says I,` Mrs Morgan, did ye iver hear the bit song called the Widdy Machree?''
21714Well, would ye b''lieve it, shipmates, at that same moment up starts the ghost again as bold as iver?
21714Were the other men in your boat in a similarly unobservant condition?"
21714What a very pretty bit of coral I see over there, close to the white rock; do you see it?
21714What d''ye say, boys; shall we beat''em?"
21714What do you say to go with me and Ailie on our next trip, sisters?
21714What is that?"
21714What more can you tell me?
21714What say you?"
21714What sort o''baccy d''ye smoke, Rokens?"
21714What think you, Ailie, my pet, will you be able to stand it?"
21714What was to be done?
21714What''s that?"
21714What_ is_ it, doctor?"
21714Where have you been?"
21714Where is he?"
21714Where is it?"
21714Who are you, and where bound?"
21714Who are you, and where from?"
21714Who has not?
21714Who is it, did you say?"
21714Who is?
21714Who made it?"
21714Why wo n''t ye, now?"
21714Why, what are you making?
21714Why?"
21714Why?"
21714Will you trust me?"
21714Wot is to be done?"
21714Wot more would ye have?
21714Wot''s a ship without a''elm?
21714Wot''s a song without a chorus?
21714Wot''s plum- duff without the plums?
21714Wot''s wrong wid ye, Bumble?"
21714Wot-- supposin''ye had the chance-- would ye give, at this good min''it, for a biled leg o''mutton?"
21714Would your lordship be so good as to note that?
21714Yes or no?"
21714Yes, well?"
21714Yet why should I conceal from her the danger of our position?
21714You know what fire- flies and glow- worms are?"
21714` Wot,''says I,` keep a garding, and plant taters, and hoe flowers an''cabidges?''
21714` Would ye like to hear it, darlint?''
21714` Ye ai n''t a- goin''to take spasms?''
21714ai n''t it swate?"
21714am I?"
21714and then followed it up with the abrupt question--"Do you drink?"
21714at it yet?
21714but I would like to have''em up in a row-- every black villain in the place-- an''a cutlass in my hand, an''--an''would n''t I whip off their heads?
21714came down- stairs like an echo, from the region of Miss Martha Dunning''s bedroom, and was followed up by a"What is it?"
21714capting,"exclaimed the wrathful Irishman, reproachfully,"sure ye would n''t spile the fun?"
21714cried Ailie, laughing,"how can you?"
21714cried Tarquin, looking fiercely round on his shipmates,"who cried shame?
21714cried the captain, with lively interest;"and her captain?"
21714do n''t he pull?
21714do n''t you feel hungry?"
21714doctor, have ye strength to set disjointed limbs?"
21714echoed Rokens, in disgust;"why did n''t ye say, so at first?
21714exclaimed Martha;"to whom do you refer?"
21714exclaimed Phil Briant, all his blood rising at the mere mention of the horrible traffic;"could n''t we land, capting, and give them a lickin''?
21714exclaimed Tim Rokens, withdrawing his pipe from his lips;"do you_ sell_ niggers?"
21714he said,"that''s your game, is it?
21714interrupted Glynn;"what''s that?"
21714more wanting to go ashore?"
21714morther, could n''t I burst?"
21714not give our warmest affections to all these?"
21714observed Rokens;"and d''ye suppose he''d give ye the right name?"
21714said Aunt Jane indignantly;"but what could we expect?
21714said Rokens;"d''ye mean, a ruler of this here country?"
21714says I;`''av coorse ye are, bliss yer purty face; do n''t I know that ivery boy in the parish is after ye?''
21714shouted Tim Rokens;"wot boat''s that?"
21714the bright, beautiful world that was made by God to be enjoyed?
21714then ye married the widder, did ye?"
21714what a funny bay that must be--`My dearest Sisters''--the darling fellow, he always begins that way, do n''t he, Jane dear?"
21714what air they doin''wid the poor cratur now?"
21714what can that be?
21714what on airth--?"
21714what''s wrong?"
21714what, where?"
21714what_ can_ that be, Jane?"
21714when?
21714where away, Phil?"
21714where, child?
21714who has been with you?"
21714who''d ha''thought it?
21714why, what about?"
21714will ye take_ me_?''
21714willin''to go?
21714wot you tink?"
21714ye''ve bin to school, no doubt, have n''t ye?"
21714yelled the bereaved one,"do n''t I know ye?"
21714you prefer big spoons to little ones, my man, do n''t you?"
21714you''re a to- teetler?"
