It's hard for a young chap like you to die; but for an old fellow like me, it's no odds to no one." At length Mr Collinson, in spite of all his efforts to keep up, again overcome by weakness, was unable to leave the hut. Bill sat by his side, doing his utmost to cheer him. His favourite topic was the drive from Kingston to Rock Hill Cottage, and the pleasant days he had spent there.
They reached a village at length, where he told them they must stop. "Is there an inn to which we can go?" asked Mr Collinson. The negro grinned. "No, monsieur," he answered; "but quarters will be assigned to you." After being kept waiting for some time, the sergeant, who had gone away, returned, and told them to follow.
But however humanly confident Chivers was in his companion's faithfulness, he was not without a rascal's precaution, and determined to select a position for Collinson where he could do the least damage in any aberration of trust. At the top of the grade, above the mill, was the only trail by which a party in force could approach it.
Meanwhile, although the more vigorous members of the brotherhood had shown no special sympathy for Rossetti's religious mysticism, a feebler artist, himself one of the original seven, had taken it up with embarrassing effusion. This was the late James Collinson, whose principal picture, "St. Elizabeth of Hungary," finished in 1851, produced a sort of crisis in Rossetti's career.
But it was overlooked by Collinson, who was taking his gun from beside the tree where he had placed it, "Where are you going?" she said suddenly. "I reckon them fellers ought to be warned o' what you heard. I'll be back in a minit."
In 1707 it appeared in Iceland, and carried off more than one-fourth of its inhabitants; in 1733, according to Collinson, it almost depopulated Greenland. The Samoyeds, Ostiaks, and other natives of Eastern Siberia, have frequently suffered from devastating epidemics. In Kamchatka the disease was introduced in 1767, and many villages were completely depopulated.
Detectives never are surprised at anything that may happen at any time to anybody, nor have they ever any opinions to venture in advance. Mr. Collinson said he would take the case and give it his undivided attention, but would promise nothing else. The Duke of Hereward, obliged to be contented with this answer, arose to leave the room.
"Oh! Sir," exclaimed Jack, "I don't like the look of things at all. We have found two people in the cabin dead who, from their looks, I am pretty certain, died of yellow fever; if so, it will be a bad job for us." "It may be so," said Mr Collinson. "At all events, we shall be wise then not to live below. Go forward, and see if there are any people there. Bill, do you stay on deck."
We took a course but little west of north, and at night encamped at the head of Washington Bay. Here we left the salt-water ice and started across land, keeping the same direction, with the intention of striking Collinson Inlet near its head. Our surprise can then be imagined when, after two days' travelling, we came out on Erebus Bay, which we thought was far to the west.
"Why? why, it makes a flare in the sky that any scout can see, and a scent for him to follow." "We're four miles from any traveled road," returned Chivers contemptuously, "and the man who could see that glare and smell that smoke would be on his way here already." "That reminds me that that chap you've tied up that Collinson allows he wants to see you," continued French Pete.
