The child was now in Chiron’s cave, being fed with the marrow of lions and bears, to make him strong and brave. One more Argonaut must be mentioned, namely, the minstrel Orpheus. He was the son of the muse Calliope, and was looked on as the first of the many glorious singers of Greece, who taught the noblest and best lessons.
The noise made by those bombs is unmistakable, unforgetable, and quite distinct from the chorus of the guns and shrapnel a crashing note, reverberating, sustained, like the E minor of some giant calliope. In face of the raids, which coincide with the coming of the moon, London is calm, but naturally indignant over such methods of warfare.
In faith, that theme taxed our wits at the Bear, how to weave Miss Dolly's charms into a verse on a buttered muffin. I shall not tire you with mine. Storer's deserved to win, and we whisper that Mrs. Calliope ruled it out through spite. 'When Phyllis eats, so it began, and I vow 'twas devilish ingenious.
This all corresponded with the truth, and tomorrow she was to discover what had suggested to Philostratus the story that when Achilles begged Calliope to endow him with the gifts of music and poetry she had given him so much of both as he required to enliven the feast and banish sadness. He was also said to be a poet, and devoted himself most ardently to verse when resting from the toils of war.
And yet, after taking on Western adjustments, this languid pine-box whittler, cracker barrel hugger, shady corner lounger of the cotton fields and sumac hills of the South became famed as a bad man among men who had made a life-long study of the art of truculence. At nine the next morning Calliope was fit.
The leader of the drove was, of course, the largest and apparently the meekest, for as he scuffled by the Scouts the boys saw that he walked with his tiny eyes closed exactly as if he were asleep. A string of a dozen red vans followed the elephants, and at the very rear of the line was the big steam calliope.
They were married ten days later in the hospital at Belem by a priest of the Church of Rome; and afterwards, on their way to England in His Majesty's frigate Calliope, which had brought out stores for the relief of the suffering city and was now returning with most of the English survivors, Sir Oliver insisted on having the union again ratified by the services of the ship's chaplain.
The young man from Baltimore assured him that this was called music; the music of a steam-organ or calliope, then a new invention on the Western rivers. He explained that it was an instrument made of a series of steam-whistles so arranged that a man, sitting where he could handle them all very rapidly, could play a tune on them.
"A cedar?" I repeated. She nodded, her plain face lighting. "That's what Calliope use' to call 'em," she explained; "'I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, you know in the Bible." And I did recall the phrase on Calliope's lips, as if it were the theme of her. From this one and that one, and now and then from her herself, I had heard something of Calliope's love story.
The ship was sheered well to starboard of the Vandalia, the last remaining cable slipped. For a time and there was no onlooker so cold-blooded as to offer a guess at its duration the Calliope lay stationary; then gradually drew ahead. The highest speed claimed for her that day is of one sea-mile an hour.
