'Why doesn't he curse the Pope an' 'a' done wi' it! one fellow said to another. 'That lad curse anybody! says the other one. 'Sure, he'd near boak himself if he done the like of that! Aye, there's a lot of bletherin' about the Volunteers, but all the same I don't like the look o' things, an' if they're not careful there'll be bother.
The German officer delivered his sword to Frank without a word; then, at the lad's command, the British surrounded the prisoners and started on their return journey to Boak, where they arrived after a three hours' forced march, and were greeted with acclaim by the sailors who had been left behind. Not a single sailor had been killed in the short but decisive battle, though two had been wounded.
"First rate," replied Frank. "No signs of the enemy?" "Not a sign, sir." "Good! Evidently he doesn't know we have occupied the town. I believe that by a quick dash we can capture Boak. What do you think?" "Fine!" exclaimed Jack with enthusiasm. "Of course we can, sir," agreed Frank. "All right, then; it shall be your job!" Jack and Frank saluted. "Thank you, sir," both said breathlessly.
Apparently secure in the belief that the forts at Duala could successfully ward off the attacks of any enemy, the German commander at Boak had grown careless, and the lads could not see a single sign of soldiers or sentries. Frank glanced behind him and ordered softly: "Take down all flags!"
You will take whatever precautions necessary to guard against an attack from any of the enemy who may move against you from Boak." "Very well, sir," replied Jack, saluting. "Boak, as you probably are aware," continued the commander, "is another small German fortress further up the river. I do not anticipate an attack, but it is best to be prepared. You may also say to Mr.
See, however, M. Martin's New South Wales, pp. 151-2, and the instance of Gome Boak, in Collins' History of New South Wales, p. 285; and Sturt's Expeditions in Australia, vol. ii. p. 222. Nay, our fellow-countrymen in the Australian colonies, can, by no means, endure a strict trial, even by their own rule of right.
What are we going to do with it?" "That's the question," replied Frank. "I guess, before making any further move, we had better wait for orders." "My idea, exactly," said Jack. "Since we're agreed," replied Frank, "we'll wait." It was not until somewhat late the following morning that Captain Marcus, accompanied by the commander of the British cruiser Dwarf, reached Boak.
Translations of ancient scientific and mathematical treatises by Professors John G. Winter and L.C. Karpinski are also to be found in two other volumes of this series, while certain studies in Roman Law and administration by Professors A.E. Boak and J.H. Drake and a discussion of "Greek Themes in Modern Musical Settings," by Professor A.A. Stanley, bring the volumes issued down to the present time.
