Hanging over it is a three-legged pot, in which boil the "praties" for the "boys'" dinners, who will be coming home presently from their work.,"Well, what is it, then? Who sent you? Come now, out with it quick, or I'll take a tarred rope-end to you.","Deep?","I have given Mr Lawrence the command of my ship, sister," said Captain Acton.,They decided they might just as well find out if there was any news from Whiskers before they made any move, so they telegraphed to the Grand Canyon, asking that any telegram that had come be forwarded on to them. Then they proceeded to loaf until the answer arrived.，“None too strong. But she’s picking up since the doctor gave her a tonic,” was the reply.，"Did you see the pig," she says, "sitting up by the fireplace? All through I couldn't take my eyes off him. He struck me as so comical. There he sat blinking his small eyes and trying to look sympathetic. I am convinced he knew all about it.
