Before they could get clear of this, they lost fifteen killed, fifteen more wounded, and over seventy prisoners, and the victorious Mosby men brought home over a hundred captured horses and large quantities of arms and ammunition. To their deep regret, however, Binns was not to be found either among the casualties or the prisoners.
Here, of course, there was a roar of laughter, for Privates Tomkins and Binns were amongst the listeners. "Come away," said Tom Long, frowning. "I don't like mixing with our men." "No, no: stop," cried Bob. "They won't think any the less of us; we're off duty now." Tom Long wanted to hear what was said, so he remained.
Binns in his task of elucidation, I produce from my inner coat-pocket a set of the earlier sketches illustrating the tour across America, and for the next few minutes the set of sketches are of more importance than all the State documents in the room. Curiously enough, the sketch entitled "A Fair Young Mormon " attracts more attention than any of the others.
Inch by inch Jack's body was dragged through the aperture, Navigating Officer Binns leaping to the assistance of Ted and hauling away until finally Jack's limbs cleared the opening and the steel partition closed entirely, shutting off the volume of water above. "Are you hurt, chum?" asked Ted. "Yes, but don't mind me," came the reply, as Jack sprawled out with both legs hanging limp and useless.
Officer Cleary will draw the names from the box and Officer Binns will read them." Slips of paper were produced by the ship's executive officer and passed around the circle. Hardly a word was spoken during this procedure, the usual debonair Bill Witt slouching against the hull of the Dewey, a picture of abject despair.
The machines here are not run by steam, but by foot power. I noticed weary limbs that were beating time to work! work! work! Mrs. Binns, a kind motherly woman, spoke earnestly of the industry, trustworthiness, self-denial, loyal affection for parents, and general kindliness that characterized the Irish peasantry.
So in a large city she would have passed for a well-dressed prosperous, comfortable wife and mother, who was in danger of losing her figure from an overabundance of good living; but with us she was a town character, like Old Man Givins, the drunkard, or the weak-minded Binns girl.
First off he thought Ben had something to do with the Barbara Freitchie stunt, or was he the one who jumped off Brooklyn Bridge? But at last he got it straight. Yes, he remembered having had a picture of Private Ben tacked up in his studio, only last year. Then we tried him on Jack Binns, and Sergeant York and Lieutenant Blue and Dr. Cook.
Cole hoped to capitalize on Binns' defection as Mosby had upon the desertion of Sergeant Ames, and he made several raids into Mosby's Confederacy, taking a number of prisoners before the Mosby men learned the facts of the situation and everybody found a new lodging place.
People like Mother Gill and old Binns and Prester Ma: and then what one's going to do when one's grown up you never want to know that." "No, it'll just come I suppose. Of course, I shan't be clever like the governor." "No, I don't think you will." Once again: "Do you mind my being so stupid, Peter?" "No I'm awfully stupid too. But I like to wonder about things.
