Morris, have the mast stepped, and set the sail," continued the captain. Clinch was at the wheel; and Clingman was called upon to do the work, with the assistance of the other two hands. The great squaresail of the Delhi had been shaken out, and it was drawing for all it was worth. The effect was simply to prevent the Blanchita from passing her, as she would have done in a few minutes more.
Scott was outvoted, and he made no further objection. Of the five seamen on board he appointed Pitts cook and steward, in which capacity he had served on board of the Maud. The starboard is the captain's watch; though the second mate, when there is one, takes his place for duty, and the port is the mate's watch. "I select Clingman for the first of my watch," continued Scott.
"I will ring the speed-bell now, and see how that will affect them," replied the captain, suiting the action to the word. The Blanchita darted ahead at her usual speed. Clingman began to overhaul the painter of the sampan, for it did not look strong enough for the present strain. He had scarcely got hold of it before it snapped in the middle, and relieved the strain on the crocodiles.
Clingman afterward admitted that the Southern opposition was motived by reluctance to admit new free Territories. "This feeling was felt rather than expressed in words." His own statement was that he first consulted with Senator Bright and one other Senator from the Northwest, and then took counsel with Southern friends.
"I should say that it was identically the same. I will hail him." "North-west half-west," was the answer returned by the captain of the Delhi. "I make it the same," replied Scott. The cabin party were summoned to dinner at this time, and Clingman was called to the wheel. "What's the bill of fare to-day?" asked Scott as he took his seat at the table.
Measurements were subsequently made by Professor Guyot and by Senator Clingman. Senator Clingman still maintains that he did not, and that the peak now known as Mitchell is the one that Clingman first described. The estimates of altitudes made by the three explorers named differed considerably. The height now fixed for Mount Mitchell is 6711; that of Mount Washington is 6285.
I know but few men who have ever followed this part of the divide, although during the present year trails have been cut from Clingman to Collins, or near it, and possibly others beyond to the northeastward. In August and September, 1900, Mr.
My parents were John N. Cady, of Cincinnati, and Maria Clingman Cady, who was of German descent, and of whom I remember little owing to the fact that she died when I reached my third birthday. Ah, Cincinnati! To me you shall always be my City of Destiny, for it was within your boundaries that I, boy and man, met my several fates.
As sailors we must take things as they come." "If navigators have a thousand miles or more of ocean ahead of them, they must face the music. But among these islands, if the weather looks typhoony, we can get under a lee, or make a harbor in some bay. But don't try to cross the bridge till we get to it, Morris." "Sail, ho!" shouted Clingman.
While the matter was pending I had several conversations with Clingman, and he frequently dropped hints to the effect that Reynolds had it in his power materially to injure the Secretary of the Treasury, as he knew of several very improper transactions of his.
