"This affair is more grievous to me," he wrote to a friend about this time, "than any service I was ever employed in." Presently, remarking that the girl's efforts were fruitless, and the tide ebbing rapidly, Winslow ordered several of his soldiers down into the mud to assist her search. Veiling their reluctance the men obeyed, and the ooze was explored to the very water's edge.
Would you know more of them, for there are, as the Sultana promised morning by morning, stranger and better things to come than these that have been told, go read the annals of the Pilgrims, those precious fragments left to us by Bradford and by Winslow, and a letter written by De Rasières, Secretary of the Dutch Colony at Manhattan, who, visiting Plymouth upon a diplomatic errand in 1627, wrote to his superiors a letter preserved in the Royal Library of Holland wherein he draws this little picture of the town we have tried to reproduce, and mentions some of these dear friends whose lives we know so much better than he did.
Give her two minutes more for luck and then. . . ." But his visitor was becoming impatient. "Are you deaf or are you tryin' to get my goat?" he demanded. "Because if you are you're pretty close to doin' it, I'll tell you that. You answer when I speak to you; understand? What are you doin' here?" His tone was so loud and emphatic that even Mr. Winslow could not help but hear and understand.
It sent a shiver through me merely to contemplate what might happen if Violet Winslow fell into such hands. Mentally I blessed Garrick for his forethought in having the phony 'phone in the garage against possible discovery of the detective instrument. "You know this poisoned needle stuff that's been in the papers?" pursued the Chief. "Bunk all bunk," came back the Boss promptly.
In spite of the hot fire, the Hudson ran a line and brought out what was left of the Winslow and her company; but you'd better believe the little craft was a mighty sad-looking wreck. Hello! What's that?" A string of colored signal-lights had flashed out for a moment directly ahead of the Speedy, and then disappeared.
Slafter in his genealogy of the Hazen family says that William Hazen had sixteen children; possibly he may have omitted some who died in infancy for Judge Edward Winslow writes on Jan'y 17th, 1793, to a friend at Halifax, "My two annual comforts, a child and a fit of the gout, return invariably. They came together this heat and, as Forrest used to say, made me as happy as if the Devil had me.
On July 31, 1755, Lawrence ordered Colonel Monckton, who lay with his troops at the newly captured Fort Cumberland, to gather in the inhabitants of the isthmus of Chignecto, and of Chepody, on the north shore of the Bay. The district of Minas was committed to the care of Colonel Winslow.
Maitland and Winslow, who had now joined him, divided all their store of trinkets among the eager applicants; and then, in return, made signs requesting to be permitted to enter the wigwams.
"Yes, now that I've rubbed it with my finger I am positive of that. As for the middle one, I think it must be either an O or a C, though it's rather hard to say." Deacon Winslow gave a deep sigh. "And our boy's middle name was Carstairs, named after his mother's family!" he hastened to say. Then they exchanged more wondering looks.
I sometimes wonder for what error of mine Providence has seen fit to give me such a son. Just then an important message came for Mr. Winslow, and he had to hurry away, but Mr. Castleford still remained, and presently said, 'Edward, I should like to know what your eyes have been trying to say all this time. 'Oh, sir, I burst out, 'do give him a chance. Indeed he never means to do wrong.
