One of these belts, an india-rubber one, one hundred and twenty feet long, connects a fifth-story press on Nassau street with the main shafting on Spruce, across the intervening yards, and another leather one on Beekman street, one hundred and forty feet long, perfectly perpendicular, connects the sub-cellar and attic. Truly a power in the world."
The next storm of trouble was from the south. Scarcely had the worthy Mynheer Beekman got warm in the seat of authority on the South River, than enemies began to spring up all around him. Hard by was a formidable race of savages inhabiting the gentle region watered by the Susquehanna, of whom the following mention is made by Master Hariot in his excellent history:
Beekman, will call to-morrow and I shall present my apologies in person at the earliest possible moment, if I may. "Very sincerely and regretfully, Willa mused so long that Welsh finally asked, with a deferential cough: "Any answer, Miss? The messenger is waiting to know." "No. Yes! Just a moment!" She seated herself at the desk and wrote rapidly: "My Dear Mr. Thode;
"It will be better for you and me to go out and take a walk by ourselves," said he to Charles, "if your mother is willing." "Yes," said Mrs. Beekman, "I am willing. Only you must take care and not get lost." "O, no," said Rollo; "I'll take care of that. Besides, if we should get lost, I know exactly what to do." "What would you do?" asked Mr. Beekman.
Not that I am cowardly; but you must understand. You will won't you?.... But what is the use of my asking you, as I shall never see you again. Her pencil faltered; she looked into space, and the image of Beekman Brown, pleasant-eyed, attractive, floated unbidden out of vacancy and looked at her.
It is a curious fact that the ancestor of the numerous Beekman family in New York, after whom Beekman Street is named, was for a time one of the Dutch governors on the Delaware who afterwards became the sheriff of Esopus, New York. His successor on the Delaware had some thoughts of removing the capital down to Odessa on the Appoquinimink, when an event long dreaded happened.
He could, and did impart enough to Beekman to quicken his march, and to bring him and his followers up to the gate at a time when a minute might have cost the entire garrison their lives. Anxious as he was to seek Beulah and his child, Beekman had a soldier's duties to perform, and those he would not neglect.
An elderly and important citizen of Tyre, by name Abram Beekman, whom Theron knew slightly, and had on occasions seen sitting in one of the back pews near the door, called one morning at the parsonage, and electrified its inhabitants by expressing a desire to wipe off all their old scores for them, and give them a fresh start in life.
Beekman gathered her a nosegay of spice pinks, carnations now, and took her to see his beautiful ducks, snowy white, in a little pond, and another pair of Muscovy ducks, then some rare Mandarin ducks from China. She told him about the ducks and chickens at Yonkers and how sorry she was to leave them.
The trusty sword of Peter Stuyvesant almost leaped from its scabbard, when he received missives from Mynheer Beekman, informing him of the swaggering menaces of the bully Fendall; and as to the giantly warriors of the Susquehanna, nothing would have more delighted him than a bout, hand to hand, with half a score of them, having never encountered a giant in the whole course of his campaigns, unless we may consider the stout Risingh as such, and he was but a little one.
