"No cut tow-chang! No cut tow-chang!" "Nobody's going to cut it, my lad.

All right, we've got you," came up from close under the stern windows, where even if it had been light we could not have seen.
"Found him ?" cried the captain, who now came up.
"Ay, ay, sir! Will you lower us down a lantern, sir?
He's tied up somehow to the chain and a ring-bolt.

We can't quite lee." The next minute, as I stood there longing to lower myself down into the boat, a lantern was swung over to them; while the men came swarming up the hatchway, for the news had soon spread, and they came running as far aft as they dared.
"Now then, steady," came from beneath us.

"Let go; we've got you, I say." "No cuttee tow-chang! No cuttee tow-chang!" "Then he must have caught at the rudder-chains as he was swept along the side," said the captain.

"Why didn't the fellow hail us, instead of letting the boats go on such a fool's errand ?" "Too much scared, sir," replied Mr Reardon.
