acquaintances which, it is known, we all form at watering-places, on journeys, or in the country, and which it is ill-mannered to press upon others in town;… (The Monikins, Ch. XV, p. 240/509, July 1835) 20) Success in taking a whale was a thing that made itself felt in every fibre of the prosperity of the town; and it was just as natural that the single-minded population of that part of Suffolk should regard the bold and skilful harpooner, or lancer, with favour, as it is for the belle at a watering-place to bestow her smiles on one of the young heroes of Contreras or Churubusco. (The Sea Lions, Ch. I, p. 10/532, April 1849) 21) Two servants were discharged the first week, because, unused to titles, they had addressed her as mistress, and her son, the captain, then at a watering-place [=Bath] was made acquainted by express with the joyful intelligence. (Precaution – The Michigan Historical Reprint Series, Ch. XXXII, p. 321; CSPCT, Vol. I, p. 187, Nov. 1820) PART II: LINES 24-39 PART II A) TIME: AFTER DEPARTURE BUT BEFORE THE FIRE BREAKS OUT B) ACTIVITIES OF PASSENGERS ON BOARD AFTER DEPARTURE AND BEFORE THE FIRE BREAKS OUT C) GENERAL FEELING OF CONFIDENCE OF THE PASSENGERS 26) BUT PRESENTLY THE ANCHOR WAS [A] HOVE / [A/B] HEAVED: The verb ―to heave‖ with its two forms of the past tense and past participle, ―hove‖ and ―heaved,‖ provides several insights. With regard to Cooper, the irregular form ―hove‖ is used exclusively with reference to ―anchor‖ or in a nautical context. ―Heaved‖ is used intransitively for ―breast‖ / ―bosom‖ / ―chest‖ heaved, or transitively as in ―Mary heaved a sigh.‖ If Cooper is the anonymous author, this means that the ―B‖ textual variation with ―heaved‖ (and with several larger deletions) is not the original text or, a very real possibility, not the correct transcription of that text. Although the Poughkeepsie Journal & Eagle (A) uses ―heaved,‖ the Maine Cultivator (A), the Mohawk Courier (A) & the Wisconsin Argus (A) all have ―hove.‖ A close match, but with the adverb ―up,‖ is Afloat and Ashore: ―We then hove up the anchor,…‖ & ―This work may have occupied us four hours, after which, the stream-anchor was hove up, catted and fished.‖ Homeward Bound also deserves mention: ―The anchor by which they rode was hove up.‖ Without the 146
adverbial ―up,‖ ―grapnel‖ (a small anchor) has been located [cf. ―hove,‖ #8]. Although it is possible that Cooper could have used ―hove‖ without ―up‖ in connection with ―anchor,‖ it is, however, quite clear that his general preference was not even the irregular past tense or past participle of ―to heave,‖ but the rather matter-of-fact ―to weigh anchor,‖ ―to lift anchor,‖ ―to get the anchor‖ or, quite simply, ―up anchor.‖ The fact that two past participles of quite different length were used in the A and B versions suggests that two separately penned copies were sent to the respective editors: ―hove‖ [4 letters] versus ―heaved‖ [6 letters]. It must also be stated that the text does not allow for a ―forgotten adverb up,‖ as no phrasal verbs are used in the sentence. Indeed, the sentence is stylistically better without the adverb. Of course, ―heave‖ conjures up romantic associations with robust seamen exerting themselves in unison: e.g., ―Heave with your grapnels; heave, men, with a long swing, heave!‖ [cf. #8a]. THE HELMSMAN: ―But presently the anchor was [15] hove [A] / heaved [B], the paddles began to turn, the sails were set, and, leaving a broad track of foam behind her..‖ (lines 24-26) JAMES FENIMORE COOPER: A) HOVE: 1) ―We then hove up the anchor,…‖ ―This work may have occupied us four hours, after which, the stream-anchor was hove up, catted and fished. (Afloat and Ashore, Ch. XIV, 277/654, June 1844) 2) ―We were no sooner fairly in command of our old ship, again, than I had all hands called to get the anchor. We hove up, and passed out to sea without delay,…‖ (Afloat and Ashore, Ch. XVIII, 342/654, June 1844) 2a) ―…and all hands were called to ―up anchor.‖ (Afloat and Ashore, Ch. III, 65/654, June 1844) 2b) All hands were now called to get the anchor up. (Afloat and Ashore, Ch. V, 90/654, June 1844) 3) ―He hove a cast, and found six fathoms of water…‖ (Homeward Bound, Ch. XXV, p. 436/613, 1838) 4) ―…he hove the lead…‖ (Homeward Bound, Ch. XXV, p. 439/613, 1838) 147
