We stood at bay, and delivered a straggling fire. The Indians returned it as they pushed on doggedly. A voyageur fell at my side, and another dropped in front of me. There was a sudden cry that the priest was shot, and glancing to the right, I saw Father Cleary reel down in the snow and lie motionless. "We must run for it!" shouted Captain Rudstone. "Make a dash for the house, men!"
He was determined to find out and to "get somebody." Jack was on duty in the conning tower and Executive Officer Cleary in the control chamber underneath. Floating here at a depth of one hundred and ten feet the Dewey was to spend the night resting and with a vigilant ear for any passing vessels.
Cleary, to say that he had seen the friends of liberty in Westminster, and that the meeting would be appointed, to be held at the Crown and Anchor, as I wished it, on the following Monday, and he would take care to have it advertised, &c. I also received a letter from Mr. West, who said he had seen Cleary, and that the meeting would take place, according to my request, on the Monday.
"That wasn't the way at East Point," said Cleary. "They didn't take fellows of their size there." "That's against our rules anyway," said Corker. "It must be a civilian rule," said Sam, beginning to feel his superiority again. "The military rule as we were taught it at East Point was to take a smaller man if you could, and you see, the army does just the same thing.
Despite all Nick's ingenuity, Dr. Jarvis stuck to this assertion. There was nothing left for Nick, in the character of Cleary, except to pretend to believe it. He resolved to accept the doctor's bribe. This was almost necessary, for in any case he would be obliged to remove Cleary. After this conversation, it would not be safe to leave the negro there.
I mean nothing personal, but when I think of these wars, I can not control my tongue. Good-night." So saying, the attaché gathered up his robes and went below. "Queer chap," said Sam. "He must be crazy." "We've treated them rather badly, tho," said Cleary.
The handcuffs clicked about his wrists before the young man had grasped the entire situation. Cleary and three others of the private force were in the room. "I've got to hurry along now, Captain. Just let him know that his Chief is captured and the sooner he turns State's evidence the better it will be for him. The District Attorney might make it lighter, if he helps.
I heard Andrew Menzies giving directions. I saw Father Cleary on my left and Christopher Burley on the right, both striking at the painted faces behind the shattered walls. "This is hot work, Carew," Captain Rudstone found a chance to shout in my ear, "and it's precious little use to keep it up. The devils will soon be at us in their hundreds. Now is the time to make a safe retreat to the house."
"And how about obeying the rules of the post that forbid the whole business, hazing and all?" asked Cleary. Sam was nonplussed for a moment. "I'm not a good hand at logic," he said. "Perhaps you can argue me down, but I feel that it's all right. I wouldn't miss this special duty business for anything. It will make me a better soldier and officer."
I'm Sergeant Keene of the 5th Company, 39th Infantry." As the sergeant went out Cleary came in, and Sam laid the matter before him. "I know that fellow by sight," said Cleary. "They say he's served several terms for forgery and counterfeiting. I don't like his looks. That's a great scheme tho, if it does seem a little like bunco-steering. It's all right in war perhaps." "Yes," said Sam.
