On the floor in front of the windows Hill had spread two newspapers; and on these newspapers, where the warm sun would strike them, he had spread out the bank notes that had gone into the ocean with Clancy the night before. It was pleasant work for Hiram, drying all that money.
She must go smokin' her dirty ould pipe under the loveliest rick in the country sure, that rick is worth its weight in gould these times an' settin' it on fire an' bringin' ruination an' destruction on her misthress as well as on me poor innocent boy! I declare hangin' 'ud be too good for her!" "Didn't I tell ye," cried Mrs. Clancy triumphantly, "that Mike never went next or nigh that rick?"
He was perfectly dressed and had even an elegant appearance. His age might have been forty, but in the artificial light he looked even younger. Clancy, on the other hand, wore his clothes with the air of a man unaccustomed to evening dress. He was light in color, with weak blue eyes and a foolish expression about his slack mouth.
"He came on from Phoenix because I wired him to," put in Hill. "He's helpin' me locate my father." "It was Clancy's judgment, I'll bet," observed Burton, "that kept you from going to San Diego?" "Now you are shouting. I was bound to go there, but Chancy held me back and steered me toward Catalina island." Katz's eyes passed from Clancy to Hill.
With dusk coming on rapidly, it was easier to accept the inflexible rule that required everyone to be in bed and locked up by seven o'clock. New faces made their appearance in Ward 6, old ones vanished. Clancy made a get-away sometime in September just before the construction camp broke up. Fordham tried also, but was unsuccessful, and got a month in the bull pen for his pains.
He greeted me cheerfully enough, but I was not quite satisfied with his appearance. The marks of his fight with Clancy had almost, if not quite, disappeared, and while he had taken on much of his normal weight, he had little color and his eyes were dull.
After looking over the Johnnie Duncan and admiring her to our hearts' content, we sat down in her cabin and began to talk of the seining season to come. Others came down and joined in George Moore, Eddie Parsons among others and they asked Clancy what he was going to do. Was he going to see about a chance to go seining, or what?
Clancy was known far and wide as a fearless Apache fighter, with a Gaines's Mill-Gettysburg record behind him. Case had never before been heard of afield, but his one exploit in the card room stamped him unerringly, said these frontier experts, as "a man of nerve." Clancy held out his big red hand. "Are ye with me?" said he. "Yours truly," said Case.
Fanny's lips were cracked, and the skin was peeled from her nose, and her hair was straggling and her eyes red-rimmed. She drank the tea in great gulps. And then she went into the tiny bunkroom, and tumbled into one of the shelf-bunks, and slept. When she awoke she sat up in terror, and bumped her head against the bunk above, and called, "Clancy!" "Yep!" from the next room. He came to the door.
Clancy and three or four others finished attending to our own halyards and overhauling the gear aloft. Our mains'l was already hoisted and the other three lowers with stops loosed were all ready to hoist too. The mains'l had been left standing just as it was when the Johnnie Duncan came in that morning.
