Sentences with DOGVANE (5)
SKIPPER WORSE CHAPTER I "Here, Lauritz, you young scamp, go aloft and clear the dogvane." Skipper Worse was standing on his quarter-deck, a fresh north wind was blowing in the fjord, and the old brig was gliding along quietly under easy sail.
Suddenly they all sprang up, for yonder, from his death-bed Jacob Worse cried out: "Lauritz, you young scamp, go aloft and clear the dogvane!" They hastened to his bedside, bringing lights; pale and terrified, they gazed on the dying man, thinking it was the devil himself who spoke through him.
The captain of this watch was one William Dogvane, a celebrated sailor, and as shifty a salt--so it was said--as ever trod a plank.
Random Jack as he was called, delighted annoying old Dogvane, in fact, he buzzed about the whole of the Starboard watch like a mosquito, and was the merriest, and most cheery little devil that ever put on a sailor's jacket.
Though Captain William Dogvane swore he was essentially a man of peace, his life proved him to be a man of war, and he displayed a marvellous aptitude for getting into rows and then swearing that they were none of his making.
