I say unfortunately, for the attempt proved a failure, and had an awful termination. It ended in the death of this poor sailor a death that was hideous and appalling. I shall relate the incident in a few words: A few days after coming to anchor Dutchy had communicated to me his intention of deserting from the ship.
This consists partly of the dutchy of Matignon, and partly of the dutchy of Valentinois, which last was given to the ancestors of this prince of Monaco, in the year 1640, by the French king, to make up the loss of some lands in the kingdom of Naples, which were confiscated when he expelled the Spanish garrison from Monaco, and threw himself into the arms of France: so that he is duke of Valentinois as well as of Matignon, in that kingdom.
Mean to say, neat, don't you know," came incongruously from the lips of Reddy Lennigan, whose father ran the Lennigan House on Outagamie Street. He spatted his large hands delicately together in further expression of approval. "Think so?" giggled his opponent, Mr. Dutchy Meisenberg. "Aw fly sweet of you to say so, old thing."
As it is, I crave your pardon for keeping you a prisoner in your state-room. The exigencies of war, you know." "Don't mention it, Dutchy. For the second time I ask you: When you have delivered this cargo of coal, what do you intend to do with my ship?"
It was in motion, and a slight plashing noise, with the long ripple made upon the water, showed that some one was in the river and swimming with all his might for the shore. Perhaps some one had seen poor Dutchy as he made this fatal plunge, for at that moment the cry was given out that it was he who was endeavouring to escape. Both mate and captain were on the alert.
Horolf, however, did not limit his ambition to the acquisition of booty; he wished permanently to enjoy some of the fine countries he was ravaging, and after many treaties made and broken, received the dutchy of Normandy from the lands of Charles the Simple, as a fief, together with Gisla, the daughter of the French monarch, in marriage.
She formally charged Michael Dennin with the murder of Dutchy and Harkey, and the prisoner lay in his bunk and listened to the testimony, first of Hans, and then of Edith. He refused to plead guilty or not guilty, and remained silent when she asked him if he had anything to say in his own defence. She and Hans, without leaving their seats, brought in the jury's verdict of guilty.
Whenever he wanted a dash made on a strong position, he inspired them with a fury of enthusiasm by giving the word of command incisively, and then adding as an addendum, "Now, off you go, you damned rascals, and exterminate them." "Dutchy" and his Chief A handsome barque lay at the quay of a South Wales port, ready to sail, and waiting only for the flood tide.
Net hit it and drove it out of the diamond, although Mulloy made a desperate effort to reach it. "Vat vos you goot for, you Irish pogtrotter?" demanded Hans. "Vy did dot ball not stop you?" "G'wan! g'wan!" retorted Barney. "It was a clane hit, Dutchy." "You dood not pelief it. I vill haf to struck efry patter oudt. Der vos no udder vay when a pitcher gets dot kind of rotten suppordt."
"Do it yourself; you are a very clever fellow." "No, no," said Vandertallen; "you know better dan me. Let us be friends, Jim. I call you Jim; you call me Dutchy, or vat you like." "All right, then," said James Leigh. "If that is to be the way, I'll tell you where you are, and if you had run in the same direction other four hours you would have been ashore on the Island of Mocha."
