One of the revenue men came forward and attempted to speak but the captain impatiently cut him short. "I have no time to waste in talk, my man," he said commandingly. "How many were you on board the cutter?" "Nine," answered the man sullenly. "How many have we got here?" "Six, sir," interposed Curwen. "Those three," pointing to three disconsolate and dripping figures, "were all we could pick up."

For children who take this work between the ages of eight and twelve, no better scheme for sight-singing can be found than that contained in Somervell's Fifty Steps in Sight-singing, supplemented by the children's books, A Thousand Exercises, published by Curwen. It is essential to read carefully the appendices to this work, especially that concerned with the minor keys.

It was never allowed to sleep, however, and in 1809, a bill introduced by Curwen to pave the way for reform by preventing the return of members upon corrupt agreements, actually passed both houses, though in so mutilated a form that it was practically a dead letter.

I am their best friend. They are mine, body and soul, I believe. They do know there is some risk in the business, but they trust me. They are sure of treble pay, and besides, are not troubled with squeamishness. As for Curwen, he would go to hell for me, and never ask a question. No, Adrian, the scheme was perfect, but for this cursed blow of mine this morning.

Others have supposed that the now vanished house of the identical Philip English, whose blood, as we have already noticed, became mingled with that of the Hawthornes, supplied the pattern; and still a third building, known as the Curwen mansion, has been declared the only genuine establishment.

Nothing, however, could be farther from the truth. With the single exception of Curwen, from whom nothing better could have been expected considering his past variations, it cannot be proved for certain that any of the bishops proved disloyal to their trust.

"Let me not stand between you and your duty. I am strong." Strong indeed Captain Jack might have wondered whence had come to this gentle Madeleine this lioness-strength of soul and body, had he had time to wonder, time for aught but his love thoughts and his fury, as he dashed back again panting for the moment when he could have her to himself. "Any damage, Curwen?"

And so we carried her off before we knew where we were or she either," added Captain Jack as a mendacious after thought. "Well I'm ," reiterated Curwen who then rubbed his scrubby, bristling chin, scratched his poll and finally broke into another grin this time of the kind classified as sheepish. "And what'll be to do now?" "By the God that made me, I haven't a notion!

In the following year it was announced that Curwen of Dublin, Loftus, and Brady were the only bishops zealous "in setting forth God's glory and the true Christian religion"; and in 1566 Sir Henry Sidney reported that, with the exception of Loftus and Brady, he found none others "willing to reform their clergy, or to teach any wholesome doctrine, or to serve their country or common-wealth as magistrates."

Evidently thinking that Lady Frankland's household was well enough supplied, the congress did not allow to pass her seven wethers and two pigs. There were others who left their homes, though not to go to Boston. Of these Judge Curwen of Salem is a type.
