Doven

“Now,” said Bobbit, with an amazing chuckle for a boy who was going to give to-morrow’s dinner to another boy, “you walk right along as ef you was going to walk a mile, and when you see I ’ve doven — dive!” The next they knew after that, Bobbit had “doven” into the old engine boiler, and they after him.

I vatched^([sic]) through the portholes as they would doven and chant / ‘Hey, mein Liebe, heyyyy.’
