Having gone half his journey, he cams to a steep hill, and while the horses were struggling to get tc the top his boss happened lo meet him, and seeing the horses in such a difficulty, and Pat standing on top of the load, he stopped him and exclaimed : "Do you think the horses haven't got enough to do without hauling you up this hill?" Pat, fixing himself more comfortably on top of the load, said : "Is that what you stopped me for?" Then, with a crack of his whip, Pat concluded : "Gee up, it's a poor ship that can't carry the captain. " |
