That evening, in Glasgow, Mr Parmenter bought the Minnehaha, a steel turbine yacht of two thousand tons and twenty-five knots speed, from Mr Hendray Chinnock, a brother millionaire, who had laid her up in the Clyde in consequence of the war the day before.
A sudden black cloud came up, and I telephoned to Chinnock and asked him about the load. He said: 'We are up to the muzzle, and everything is running all right. By-and-by it became so thick we could not see across the street. I telephoned again, and felt something would happen, but fortunately it did not.
This shows what a nice, genial, generous lot of people they have over in Wall Street. "Chinnock had a great deal of trouble getting the customers straightened out. I remember one man who had a saloon on Nassau Street. He had had his lights burning for two or three months. It was in June, and Chinnock put in a bill for $20; July for $20; August about $28; September about $35.
Chinnock had deliberately moved to the harness-room, and Tinling had to repeat his information. 'Ah, indeed, sir! Red Injians? Well, to think o' that! he said cheerfully, as if he was humouring some rather childish remark. 'But we shall want every available man; do you think you can spare time to come and help? ''Bout what time, sir? said Chinnock. 'About nine half-past eight, say. Do try.
'Chinnock, he began, with an attempt to seem casual and careless, 'we're going to be attacked by Red Indians again to-night. Chinnock touched a sandy forelock, as he raised his red grinning face. 'Lor', sir, be you indeed? Well, you young genl'men du have rare goings on down in the paddock, that you du. 'It's it's real Red Indians this time, Chinnock B black Bogallalas!
He doesn't even suspect anything. "One day Chinnock came to me and said: 'I have a new customer. I said: 'What is it? He said: 'I have a fellow who is going to take two hundred and fifty lights. I said: 'What for? 'He has a place down here in a top loft, and has got two hundred and fifty barrels of "rotgut" whiskey.
