I remained at Sacramento a good part of the fall of 1849, recognizing among the immigrants many of my old personal friends John C. Fall, William King, Sam Stambaugh, Hugh Ewing, Hampton Denman, etc. I got Rucker to give these last two employment along with the train for the relief of the immigrants.
It was sufficiently theatrical to impress the skipper of the tanker, but what Jenkins really said to Denman was: "You are to remember your parole, sir, and not hail that steamer." To which Denman had nodded assent. "Steamer ahoy!" shouted Forsythe, through a small megaphone. "You are laden with oil, as you said by signal. We would like to replenish our supply, which is almost exhausted."
The watch below had gone down, and those on deck, under Jenkins, who stood no watch, busied themselves in the necessary cleaning up of decks and stowing below of the fenders the boat had worn at the dock. Forsythe had gone below, and Denman was somewhat glad in his heart to be free of him until he had settled his mind in regard to his attitude toward him.
"Yes, yes, that'll be attended to. I've no part in your private affairs, sir; but you gave him one good one, and that ought to be enough for a while. If you tackle him again, you'll have the whole bunch at you. Better let well enough alone." Denman sat down in his room, and Jenkins departed.
Denman was a fair-haired young Hercules, whose tremulous agitated manner contrasted oddly with his athlete's looks. Among other magnetisms he was clearly open to the magnetism of women, and he stayed talking to Rose, staring furtively at her the while from under his heavy lids, much longer than the girl thought fair.
'What are we to do some thought-reading? 'Yes. It isn't a crush! I have only asked about thirty or forty people. Mr. Denman is to manage it. She mentioned an amateur thought-reader greatly in request at the moment. Flaxman cogitated for a while and then propounded a little plan to his aunt, to which she, after some demur, agreed.
Once on shore, he would have every warship in the world after us." "Then I stay here with Mr. Denman. He is wounded, and is my friend." Denman was on the point of calling up to insist that she leave the yacht; but he thought, in time, that it would reveal his position, and leave him more helpless, while, perhaps, she might still refuse to go.
Denman had ducked out of sight as the launch was lowered, and he did not see Casey; but, on opening a locker in his room for a fresh box of cigars, he noticed that his laundry had been tampered with. Six shirts and twice as many collars were gone. On looking further, he missed a new derby hat that he had prized more than usual, also his suitcase.
The last in the line was Sampson, and Denman stopped him. "I've a job for you, Sampson," he said, after the rest had disappeared. "You are the strongest man in the crowd. Go down the hatch, but aft to the storeroom, and get that barrel of hard bread into the forecastle. You can do it without my unlocking you." "Very good, sir," answered Sampson, respectfully, and descended.
Yes, yes, time does indeed fly, as you say; or as my friend, Sir Archibald What's-his-name used to remark, `Tempit fugus something re-what's-'is-name. Good-bye, dear Mrs Denman." While the ladies were thus engaged, one whom the Eagle would have tossed her beak at with supreme contempt was enjoying himself in the bosom of his family.
