By the evening the storm had lulled, but the sea was still running fearfully high, and it was not until the next day that it was possible to set about repairing the damage suffered in this by far the severest trial through which the Alabama had as yet passed. Out of luck Tempest-tossed Rotatory storms A prize The case of the Lafayette A long chase The Crenshaw Neutral or not?
Harleston and so I exchanged places with your detective," Crenshaw explained. "I'm quite content, Mr. Crenshaw," Sparrow replied. "Yes, certainly, and thank you, Mr. Harleston," Crenshaw smiled. "And now, with your permission, sir, we shall inspect the contents of your pockets, to the end that we may find a certain letter that you wot of also ourselves."
Then he called a cavalryman from the outpost. "Britton," he said, "show this gentleman in to General Dana's headquarters." Crenshaw lashed his horse and away we went. "That boy thinks he is a guide, not a guard," said he. "You are all right. We can easily get rid of him." This proved true. We stopped by a saloon and bought a bottle of whisky.
James Hutchison, also of New York, deposed before the British consul, that "the goods specified in the annexed bills of lading were shipped on board the schooner Crenshaw, for, and on account of, subjects of Her Britannic Majesty, and that the said goods are wholly and bonâ fide the property of British subjects."
Then his face hardened. "One who comes into another's residence in the dead of night, revolver in hand and violence in his intention, can expect no mercy and should receive none. You're an ordinary burglar, Crenshaw and as such the law will view you if I turn you over to the police.
"Where did you get this rifle, Hannibal?" he at length asked brokenly. "I fetched it away from the Barony, sir; Mr. Crenshaw said I might have it." The judge gave a great start, and a hoarse inarticulate murmur stole from between his twitching lips. "The Barony the Barony what Barony? The Quintard seat in North Carolina, is that what you mean?" "Yes," said the boy.
However, we will proceed with the inspection the proof of the caviare is in the roe of the sturgeon." "Then I pray you open the fish at once," said Harleston. "I can't assist you in my present attitude, so get along, Mr. Crenshaw, if you please. You interrupted my dinner I was just at the soup; and you may believe me when I say that I'm a bit hungry."
The boy opened his mouth, but his courage failed him, and with his courage went the words he would have spoken. "Who is this?" asked Bladen. "I'll tell, you presently," said Crenshaw. "Come, speak up, sonny, what do you want?" "Please, sir, I want this here old spo'tin' rifle," said: the child. "Please, sir, I want to keep it," he added.
"I haven't the letter with me, as you should know. Do I look so much like a novice? Furthermore, if I am not mistaken, I told you that I was going direct to the State Department to deliver the letter for translation so how could I have it now?" "We're not debating, we're searching," Crenshaw sneered; "though it may occur to you that a copy is as easy of translation as the original.
Another sharp hour's beating and the Alabama was alongside, and had taken possession of the United States schooner Crenshaw, from New York to Glasgow, three days out. And now began another investigation into the character of the cargo, and notes were once more carefully compared, lest any bonâ fide neutral property should become involved in the fate that would otherwise befall the captured enemy.
