It may have been the cheerful, blue-jerseyed Irishman, to whose knee I returned at the end of each round to be freshened up around the face and neck with a dripping boat-sponge. He had an extraordinarily wide mouth, and it kept speaking encouragement and good advice to me. I feel sure he was a good fellow, but have never set eyes on him from that hour to this.
"Diana!" "He's got to get home somehow. Look here, Harry!" Diana knelt on the pebbles, and put her arm round the little blue-jerseyed figure "suppose I were to go too, would you dare to cross again? We'd both crawl on our hands and knees." The sobs stopped, while Harry took a swift survey of her face. Apparently he found it satisfactory. "If you'll go first," he stammered.
Diana's mind galloped rapidly back to a day in late September when she had crawled along a tree-trunk across a racing torrent, with a frightened, blue-jerseyed atom of humanity creeping behind her. "Gee-whiz! I guess you're Harry!" she exclaimed heartily. The mental thermometer of the kitchen, which had stood at about freezing-point, suddenly thawed into spring.
It was an army of blue-jerseyed fishermen which patted him on the back and welcomed him, lanterns like the stars flashing everywhere around. He set his teeth and fought against the buzzing in his ears. He tried to speak, and his voice sounded like a weak, far away whisper. "I am all right," he kept on saying. Then he felt himself leaning on two brawny arms.
"But we're left in something of a fix. This freight for Josh Jones and his father is needed. Some other stuff consigned to Big Wreck Cove ought to be there by to-night. And I can't get a man for love or money here to help us out. I tried while I was uptown." Zeb showed no hesitation. He shrugged his blue-jerseyed shoulders.
Doctors were forgotten, stimulants were tabooed, the insignia of invalidism banished, and to my intense surprise I ran across her at a fishing port surrounded by a bevy of blue-jerseyed lads, who were some of those whom she was being blessed by helping. The best of efforts, however, sometimes "gang aft agley."
The Island girls are courted by their own blue-jerseyed fisher-lads and what a place for love-making, with the ravines and caves in the cliff-sides, and the deep glens in the heart of the Island, so lonely except for the lord's red deer and little fierce black cattle.
He was a heavy-set, upstanding, blue-jerseyed figure, lithe and as spry on his feet as a cat. Tunis Latham was thirty, handsome in the bold way of longshore men, and ruddy-faced.
As "Mac" had, in the old days, smashed his way through the opposing line of blue-jerseyed giants on the football field, and as he now plowed through the laurel and rhododendron, so had he won his way to the forefront of the younger generation of his profession until, at the age of thirty-five, he had become recognized as one of the most able children's specialists in America.
The fixed eyes came out of their trance-like study and took in the blue-jerseyed, energetic figure that worked so actively at the knotted hemp. There was something rather wonderful about those eyes. They were of the deep, intense blue of a spirit-fed flame the blue of the ocean when a storm broods below the horizon.
