Some few men have caught a small swordfish so quickly and easily that they cannot appreciate what happened. On the other hand, one very large swordfish, a record, was caught in an hour, after a loggy rolling about, like a shark, without leaping. But these are not fighting swordfish. Of course, under any circumstances, it is an event to catch a swordfish.
"That is from father," remarked Mrs. Lambert. "It is signed 'McLeod, and under it are two words, 'Loggy' and 'Mother, each in different handwriting." "Give it to me!" cried Kate, deeply moved. "And here is the wineglass," replied Weissmann, extracting from among the books a beautiful piece of antique crystal. Kate took it reverentially, as if receiving it from the hand of her dead mother.
My boy, the question of the persistence of the individual after death is the most vital of all questions. Apply your keen mind to it and depend on old 'Loggy. Good-by!" Kate was quivering with excitement. "Morton, that settles it for me. That certainly was 'Loggy. Oh, I wish mother could have spoken." Morton's voice was eager and penetrating as he said: "Mrs.
It's old 'Loggy' true bill. How are you all?" Kate could hardly speak, so great was her fear and joy. "Morton Serviss, what do you think now? Ask him " The voice from the trumpet interposed. "Don't ask me a word about conditions over here it's no use. I can't tell you a thing." "Why not?" asked Morton. "Well, how would you describe a Connecticut winter to a Hottentot?
So I thought I'd get in a little early practice before I got too loggy with a big breakfast." "A good idea," Helen said. "I'll wait for you and we'll eat together." "Thanks," remarked Joe. "But I'll be ten minutes yet, and your appetite may not stand such a delay." "Oh, yes, it will," laughed Helen.
Not fifty feet away lay a blue dory, heavy and loggy with water, and in the bottom the unconscious figure of a man. A second look at the face of the man and Tanner cried: "Wheelan and Markle, overside with the starboard dory. Here's Code Schofield adrift! Lively now!" There was a rush aft, but Tanner met the crew and drove them to the nested boats amidships. "Over, I say!" he roared.
What did 'Loggy' say?" "There you go! You're ready to swallow the whole lump of humbuggery, just because there is one little puzzling plum in it." Kate was not to be put down. "What did uncle say?" He submitted. "Nothing else. Like most of those dead folk, he was there just to manifest, not to impart wisdom." Kate leaned back in her chair and grew thoughtful. "Morton, that was wonderful.
Not accustomed to swimming, strangled by the salt water that lapped into his open mouth, he was getting loggy when first he chanced to see the flash of the captain's torch. This, however, he did not connect with Skipper, and so took no more notice of it than he did of the first stars showing in the sky. It never entered his mind that it might be a star nor even that it might not be a star.
"But to admit that one book was moved from its place is to admit that a force exists unknown to science." "But what are you going to do? Did you do it? Or did I? Did Clarke reach from where he sat and manipulate the horn? Who brought the old wine-glass from the china-closet? No one entered from the outside that is certain. And then the things 'Loggy' said?" "What do you think, Dr. Weissmann?"
He put himself in Viola's seat in the attempt to conceive of some method whereby even the most skilful magician would be able to pull out tacks, rip stitches, and break tape and then more difficult than all, after manipulating the horn, reseat himself and restore his bonds, every tack, to its precise place. And his conversation with "Loggy," most amazing of all, came back to plague him.
