"This is how it was: away back when the Injuns was makin' trouble 'cause the government was movin' them west to the territory, this old man Dewey lived up there somewhere on that mountain.
There are those upon her side, who have the will and the power to defend her; and they will defend her, I believe successfully." A sigh fluttered through the room, causing us both to turn quickly towards the bed on which Mrs. Dewey was lying. Her lips were moving slightly; but no change appeared on her death-like face. I laid my fingers upon her wrist, and searched for her pulse.
"You can say that I never intended to employ the Chinaman for any length of time; but I shall not send him off till I get ready." "I'm afraid the boys won't like it, Dewey." "Probably O'Reilly won't. As for you, you are too intelligent a man to be influenced by such a man as he." All men are sensible to flattery, and Hodgson was won over by this politic speech.
As to the regime which would result from our withdrawal, Admiral Dewey judged from the condition of those areas where Spanish authority had already ceased and that of the Americans had not yet been established. "Distressing reports," he cabled, "have been received of inhuman cruelty practised on religious and civil authorities in other parts of these islands. The natives appear unable to govern."

Coasting to and fro in the water, scanning the sea now to the right, now to the left, the Dewey continued the search for her crew. Singly, in twos, and in one case three, men were picked up until it seemed to the commander that every boy who had gone overboard had been reclaimed from the sea.

But, as I remarked just now, being in no hurry to leave our present home, I shall not disturb him for some months to come. No change will be made by us earlier than next spring. And if he wishes to spend the winter in his present abode, he is welcome to remain." There was no assumed virtuous forbearance in all this; but a sincere regard for the feelings and comfort of Dewey.
From here it was not far to the girl's home, and, as she climbed a spur of Dewey, Sammy saw the cabin, and heard distinctly the sweet strain's of her father's violin. On top of the rise, the young woman paused a moment to enjoy the beauties of the evening, which seemed to come to her with a new meaning that night.
The personal account of Ralph Dewey showed him to be a debtor to the Bank in the sum of nearly a hundred thousand dollars. The President, Joshua Kling, had not been seen since the evening of the day on which the doors of the Clinton Bank were shut, never to be opened for business again. His accounts were all in confusion.
And then he heard the complete story of his rescue. No sooner had the Dewey appeared upon the, surface, following the successful consummation of Ted Wainwright's plan, than she had sighted the destroyer Farragut.
