I was thinking of being a little afraid, the vessel plunged so; but Mother Cary's chickens came out, and I thought I might as well consider myself as one of them, and not in any more danger than they are. CARIBBEAN SEA, May 28, 1865. We have had a great experience of really rough weather. The spray dashed over the deck, and only the hardiest could keep up.
But the Talentless One had never heard of Miss Cary's beautiful poem, and went on calmly: "And a pump. Girls, if I find the 'Eldorado, there'll be a pump painted blue!" Here Billy woke up. There was no time to discountenance the pump. "Why, I believe I've been asleep!" Billy laughed restedly. "And I've been somewhere else, too. Guess!" "To Eldorado," someone ventured. "Well, I have.
I won't sneak." "Remember that nothing else in the way of identification is of any use, for I doubt if either of us has ever seen the real, undisguised Dawson as he is known to God. We know a man whom we think is the genuine article but is he? Cary's description of him is most unlike the man whom we see here. I expect that he has a different identity for every place which he visits.
But her father caught her, for O'Connell had turned to them with a serious face. "I'm sorry, sir, but I'll have to trouble ye to get under cover in the woods.

O! young gentleman! young gentleman! make me a promise; if you want God's blessing on you this day, bring me back my boy, if you find him sailing on the seas!
There were two or three minutes of which I remember nothing but the roaring of water. I think I must have been caught under the sail, for the next I knew I was struggling from beneath its stiff whiteness, and as I looked about, dazed, behold! we had passed the reefs and lay rocking quietly. I saw that first, and then I saw Cary's head as it bent over something he held in his arms and it was Sally!
Unconsciously he had accepted and proclaimed Beatrice Cary's ideal as his own. The hour of bloodshed was gone, mercy and justice called him in its stead. And in that acceptance of a new era his gaze pierced through the obscurity into a light beyond. The jungle which had bound his life was gone; all hindrances, all gulfs of hatred and revenge, were overthrown and bridged.
As we still ascend from shelf to shelf, we find the tenants of the tower serially disposed in order of their magnitude: gannets, black and speckled haglets, jays, sea-hens, sperm-whale-birds, gulls of all varieties: thrones, princedoms, powers, dominating one above another in senatorial array; while, sprinkled over all, like an ever-repeated fly in a great piece of broidery, the stormy petrel or Mother Cary's chicken sounds his continual challenge and alarm.
It had included a noteworthy display of minute information of western conditions, extending to the physical features of the country and to every degree of its complex population. One sentence among many had caught Cary's attention, had perplexed him, and had remained in his memory to be considered afterwards, closely and thoughtfully. There was one possible meaning
The control of the Western Union Telegraph Company had now passed into the hands of Jay Gould and his companions, and in the many legal matters arising therefrom, Edward saw much, in his office, of "the little wizard of Wall Street."
