As he said this he motioned them out of the room. As he was leaving, Craigin called him back. "I want to see Maclennan," he said gruffly. "Wait till to-morrow, Mr. Craigin," replied the doctor, in soothing tones. "I want to see him now." The doctor called Mr. Maclennan back. "Maclennan, I want to say there's the whitest man in these mountains. I was a blank, blank fool.
Thus the first day's campaign against death closed with the issue still undecided, but the chances for winning were certainly greater than they had been. What the result would be when Craigin was able to take command again, no one could say.
Craigin," continued the doctor, "we shall need some things out of your stores." Craigin stepped back from the crowd and on to the office steps. "Your time is waiting you, men. And listen to me. If any man goes near that there storehouse door, I'll drop him in his tracks. I've got the law and I'll do it, so help me God."
I'm not going to have any of this blank nonsense of isolation hospitals and all that blankety blank rot. Dose 'em up good and send 'em out." Dr. Haines stood silent, too evidently afraid of the foreman. "Mr. Craigin, it would be murder," said Dr. Bailey, "sure murder. Some of them might get through. Some would be sure to die. The consequences to those responsible to Dr.
Dr. Bailey smiled sweetly at Craigin. "You may call me what you please just now, Mr. Craigin. Before the day is over you won't have enough names left. For I tell you that these men suffering from diphtheria are going to stay here, and are going to be properly cared for." Craigin was white.
Maclennan stood in amazement looking from Haines to the General Manager. "Dr. Bailey? You mean Bailey from No. 1? What has he got to do with it? And how did Craigin come to allow him?" "Ask Craigin," replied Haines. "What have you got in there, Doctor?" asked Mr. Fahey. "Diphtheria patients." "How many?" "Well, we began with eight three days ago and we've ten to-day."
They carried Craigin into the office and laid him on the bed, the blood streaming from a ghastly wound in his scalp. Quickly Dr. Bailey got to work and before Craigin had regained consciousness the wound was sewed up and dressed. Then giving him over to the charge of Haines, Dr. Bailey went about the work he had in hand.
Consulted with Dr. Haines. We came to a practical agreement as to what ought to be done. Mr. Craigin objected. There was some trouble. Unfortunately, Mr. Craigin was hurt." "Dr. Bailey," said the General Manager, "it will save trouble if you will go somewhat fully into the facts. We want an exact statement of what occurred." The authoritative tone drew Dr.
"I have it from Tommy that it was his own notion to fire that shoe, and a blank good thing for me it was. Otherwise I should have killed the best man that ever walked into this camp. Here, keep your hands off! You paw around my head like a blanked bull in a sand heap. Where's the doctor? Why ain't he here attending to his business?" "Craigin," he said quietly, "let me look at that.
"Well, this knocks me out," said Maclennan. "Where's Craigin, anyway?" "He's down in his own room in bed." Maclennan turned and got into the sleigh. "Come on, Fahey," he said, "let's go down. Something extraordinary has happened. You can't believe that fellow Haines. What are you laughing at?" Fahey was too much of an Irishman to miss seeing the humour of any situation.
