"After him!" yelled the middy to his men, as he stood stamping one foot in his excitement; and then turning to Aleck: "If the cat don't scratch his back for this my name's not Wrighton." The communication was made in quite a friendly, confidential way, which brought a response from Aleck: "He'll be too quick for them. The young dogs are as quick as congers." "You wait and you'll see.
I sat and held it in my hand a long time, thinking how it came from Congers and our home, and what a happy home it was. Then I took a bite of it and it was very good. We mixed some in our bone broth and it seemed to stimulate us. We had a bit of caribou skin in the same pot. It swelled thick and was very good. Last night I fell asleep while the boys were reading to me.
On May 13th it was arranged with the magazine that it should go as an Outing expedition. The preparation held for him the many difficulties and trials common to such undertakings, but also, perhaps, more than the usual pleasures. The big map of Labrador looked back from the wall of the little study in Congers. We stood before it a long time discussing plans and possibilities.
"What's up? "The Labrador trip is all fixed for this summer," was the excited reply. "Come out to Congers to-night without fail, and we'll talk it over." In accordance with his invitation, I went out that evening to visit my friend in his suburban home. I shall never forget the exuberance of his joy. You would have thought he was a boy about to be released from school.
I cut the plank out; I'll not lie; no lies is any good down here, with the fingers of the deep things pointing to me, and the black devil's wings coming over me but a score of years agone it were, and never no one dreamed of it oh, pull away, pull! for God's sake, pull! the wet woman and the three innocent babbies crawling over me like congers!
Make good speed, Geta." "Ay, do so," interposed his master, "but see that thou dost not blow Nanthus; thou wert better be a dead slave, Geta, than let me find one drop of sweat on his flank. Nay! never grin, thou hang-dog, or I will have thee given to my Congers ; the last which came out of the fish pond were but ill fed; and a fat German, such as thou, would be a rare meal for them."
He was looking into another fire a big, wood fire in an old-fashioned fireplace in the cheerful sitting-room of a far-away Congers home, and his wife was by his side. He put out his arm to draw her closer to him. I could see it all and understand understand the look of perfect happiness that his fancy's picture brought to his face.
"I've just finished at King William's and bought a boat," said Philip, "and I came up to ask you to join me congers and cods, you know good fun anyway. Are you willing?" "Willing!" cried Pete. "Am I jumping for joy?" And away they went down the road, swinging their legs together with a lively step. "That's a nice girl, though Kitty, Kate, what do you call her?" said Phil. "Were you in then?
Could the writer of that gentle satire have looked forward about a quarter of a century he would have had knowledge on which to have based a greater eulogy of the Congers. It should be explained perhaps that Conger was the name of a club of booksellers founded in 1715 for co-operation in the issuing of expensive works.
The new boat was sent to try her fortune, and returned at night with a great parcel of various kinds of fish, among which were about 200 congers, which was a good beginning, and which were divided among the tents to be cured. Our boat was carefully hauled on shore every night, and strictly guarded, to prevent any of our people from stealing her, and making their escape.
