"That looks favorable; and if there is any current to speak of, it runs in the direction of the monsoons, and therefore will not be likely to cause heavy winds." "If I thought the trip was a very dangerous one, I certainly should not propose to make it," added the captain. "Fish!" shouted Clingman at the wheel.
All wondered what he was going to do, for they saw no way to get through by means of the anchor; but they were willing to believe that the captain knew what he was about, and they said nothing. "Now pay out about fifty feet of cable," continued Scott, as he rang the gong to back her. "Haul steady on it till you are sure it is fast in the stuff, Clingman."
"Try the pump, Lane," added the captain. "I don't believe she has shipped more than a teaspoonful or two." "We are pretty well down in the water," added Louis. "Clingman, let off about six inches of the sheet," continued Scott; and the order was promptly obeyed. "I think you are getting a little nervous, my dear fellow," he added to Louis.

Clingman is here inserted, quoted by Nicolay and Hay: "About the middle of December I had occasion to see the Secretary of the Interior on some official business. On my entering the room, Mr. Thompson said to me, 'Clingman, I am glad you have called, for I intended presently to go up to the senate to see you.
It is probable that second place among the peaks of Appalachia may belong either to Clingman Dome or Guyot or LeConte, of the Smokies, or to Balsam Cone of the Black Mountains. In any case, the Great Smoky mountains are the master chain of the Appalachian system, the greatest mass of highland east of the Rockies.
Captain Scott went to the wheel as soon as he came on board, and started the engine. Clingman reported the depth of water the same as when the party went on shore. By backing and going ahead a short distance at a time, he got the boat about, and headed her for the river.
"All right; but I want to get a little farther into the woods here, and I can get around the bushes ahead of her," replied the captain, who had been studying up a course by which he could go a considerable distance farther inland. He backed the boat, and then went ahead very slowly, with Clingman feeling of the bottom with the boathook.
And his colleague confirmed this opinion. Clingman put the same thought more concretely when he declared that the South was apprehensive, not because a dangerous man had been elected to the presidency; but because a President had been elected who was known to be a dangerous man and who had declared his purpose to war upon the social system of the South.
Of course they could kill whatever they pleased, but the moral influence of the real leader prevailed over them. "Steam enough!" shouted Felipe from the engine. "Take the wheel, Clingman, back her out and go ahead," said the captain; and in a few moments they were steaming down the river. "I suppose you haven't any tenderness for crocodiles, have you, Louis?" inquired Scott, with a smile.
