I'm going to Salem-riding as hard as I can, with six of our best men. They're not so daft at Salem as we are, Michael. They won't know how to act or what to do. Darius Boland is a good man, but he's only had Virginian experience, and this is different. A hundred Maroons are as good as a thousand white soldiers in the way the Maroons fight.
We've had a pleasant afternoon, haven't we? Good-bye, gentlemen! Come on, Boland!" They backed out of the room. That night, between ten and eleven, Stanley Mitchell came forth from Tucson Jail. Pete Johnson was not there to meet him; fearing espionage from Cobre, he sent Boland, instead.
Indeed. They might as well stay here; we can surely protect them." "Perhaps, for you have skill, Boland, and you are cautious, but is it fair for ladies to stay in this isolated spot with murderers about? When the ladies come back, they must be sent at once to Spanish Town. Can't you see?" Darius Boland bowed.
I scalp them!" cried Boland, with a soldier's disgust; "I am no butcher: I leave them to the bears and wolves, which the villains in their natures so strongly resembled. I will kill Indians wherever I can; but no scalping, Nathan, no scalping from me!"
Far be it from me, as above. Nevertheless " "Why, then, the exertion?" "Duty. Friendship. Francis Charles Boland, you're lazy." "Ferdie," said Francis Charles, "you are right. I am." "Too lazy to defend yourself against the charge of being lazy?" "Not at all. The calm repose; that sort of thing what?" Mr. Boland's face assumed the patient expression of one misjudged.
Heron gave the lead and all three joined in a scornful laugh. What are you laughing at? asked Stephen. You, said Heron. Byron the greatest poet! He's only a poet for uneducated people. He must be a fine poet! said Boland. You may keep your mouth shut, said Stephen, turning on him boldly.
But at the end of half an hour the black figures were perceptibly closer. "They're gaining on us," said Boland, turning his red-lidded eyes on Stan. "They have better horses, or fresher." "No," said Stan; "they're riding faster that's all. They haven't a chance; they can't keep it up at the rate they're doing now. They're five miles to the north, and it isn't far to the finish.
He was for ever in my mind even when he was in prison oh, what is prison, what is guilt even to a girl when she loves! Yes, I loved him. There it was. He was ever in my mind, and I came here to Jamaica he was here for what else? Salem could have been restored by Darius Boland or others, or I could have sold it. I came to Jamaica to find him here unwomanly, perhaps, you will say."
As soon as he saw the commander of the station approaching, he cleared the throng around him by a skip and a hop, seized the colonel by the hand, and doing the same with the soldier, before Boland could repel him, as he would have done, exclaimed, "Glad to see you, cunnel; same to you, strannger What's the news from Virginnie? Strannger, my name's Ralph Stackpole, and I'm a ring-tailed squealer!"
Don't look round. Keep steady, and we'll ride a little more quickly soon." A little later they cantered to the front door of the Salem homestead. The first face they saw there was that of Darius Boland. It had a look of trouble. Dyck explained. "We thought you might not have heard of the rise of the Maroons. We have no ladies at Enniskillen. We prepared, and we're safe enough there, as things are.
