Did you never hear of them?" The man's face wrinkled like a rag, for there is one thing the native fears more than all else, and that is the tooth of the hound. But he gathered courage, and said: "The governor has no hounds. There ain't none in Jamaica. We know dat all of us know dat all of us know dat, massa." Michael Clones laughed, and it was not pleasant to hear.
Far away I will think of you, and believe in you, dear, masterful, madman friend. Yes, you are a madman, for Michael Clones told me faith, he loves you well! that you've been living a gay life in Dublin since you came here, and that the man you are accused of killing was in great part the cause of it. I think I never saw my mother so troubled in spirit as she is at this time.
"This I wrote even as you were landing in Jamaica, and I knew naught of your coming. It was an outbreak of my soul. It was the truth written to you and for you, and yet with the feeling that you would never see it. I was still writing it when Michael Clones came up the drive to tell me you and your mother were here.
Michael Clones, with his oval red face, big nose, steely eye, and steadfast bearing, had in him the soul of great kings. His hat was set firmly on his head. His knee-breeches were neat, if coarse; his stockings were clean. His feet were well shod, his coat worn, and he had still the look that belongs to the well-to-do peasant. He was a figure of courage and endurance.
"John O'Carbry was abbott of Clones, or Clounish, in the County of Monoghan, and as such was comorb, or corb* i. e., successor of Tigernach, who was founder of the abbey and removed the episcopal seat from Clogher to Clounish. Many of the abbots Were also bishops of the see. He died in 1353.
And I want Michael Clones to be kept with me, and Greenock, the master, and Ferens, the purser, to be kept where they are. Admiral, I think you know my demands are just. Over there on the Ariadne are a hundred and fifty wounded at least, and fifty have been killed. Let the living not suffer." "You want it all on the nail, don't you?"
They had one advantage not possessed by the government troops and militia they were masters of every square rod of land in the middle and west of the island. Their plan was to raid, to ambush, to kill and to excite the slaves to rebel. The first assault and repulse took place not far from Enniskillen, Dyck Calhoun's plantation, and Michael Clones captured a Maroon who was slightly wounded.
A ticket-collector, when clipping the tickets of the party who were starting from Belfast in a saloon for Enniskillen, made no remark and no sign of recognition till he reached Carson, when he said almost in a whisper and without a glimmer of a smile, as he took a clip out of the leader's ticket: "Tell the station-master at Clones, Sir Edward, that we won't have it."
Men did not pay their rents. Crops were spoiled, markets were bad, money was scarce, yet "Please God, it will be better next year!" Michael Clones said, and there never was a man with a more hopeful heart than Michael Clones. Dyck Calhoun had a soul of character, originality, and wayward distinction.
Having said his say, with hand outstretched, having thrilled the air with the voice of one who had the soul of a prophet, the old man turned. Head bent forward, he shuffled away with Michael Clones along the stony street. Dyck watched them go, his heart beating hard, his spirit overwhelmed. It was not far to the Castle, yet every footstep had a history. Now and again he met people who knew him.
