Pittsburgh was thus a distributing center of some importance; but the fact that no drayman or warehouse was to be found in the town at this time is a significant commentary on the undeveloped state of its commerce and manufacture.
The retaliation is just dying down. CHARACTERS. ALBERT Round-eyed, rotund, red-cheeked, yellow-haired, and deliberate; in civil life probably a drayman. JIM Small, lean, sallow, grey-eyed, with a kind of quiet restlessness; in civil life probably a mechanic with leanings towards Socialism. POZZIE A thick-set, low-browed, impassive, silent country youth, with a face the colour of the soil.
About that there was no difficulty, and when I had despatched the original boy who all this while had never wavered in his constancy to my proboscis for a small tin pail, I prepared to get my burden once more upon my back. But this was not to be. Four good fellows insisted on constituting themselves booth-bearers, and the burly drayman gallantly relieved my fair companion of the box of puppets.
The panic also extended into Wayne, New Hanover, and Lenoir Counties. Four men were shot without trial in Wilmington, Nimrod, Abraham, Prince, and "Dan the Drayman," the latter a man of seventy, and their heads placed on poles at the four corners of the town.
A slow and ponderous man, of the drayman order of human architecture, dressed in a corrugated suit and bibbed apron, apparently a composite of door-mat and rhinoceros-hide. "Respecting this same boarding and lodging, Young Master Wilding," said he. "Yes, Joey?"
The third time she reached the arm of the crossing policeman, and clutched it. That imposing giant removed the whistle from his mouth, and majestically inclined his head without turning his gaze upon Jennie, one eye being fixed on a red automobile that was showing signs of sulking at its enforced pause, the other being busy with a cursing drayman who was having an argument with his off horse.
Jennings, and by and by, when everybody was talking, he turned to 'im in a whisper, and asked 'im who the big chap was. "Mrs. Jennings's brother," ses Mr. White; "brewer's drayman he is." Charlie said, "Oh!" and went on eating, a bit relieved in 'is mind. "Your friend and my gal 'll make a nice couple," ses Mr. White, looking at Ted and Emma, sitting 'and in 'and.
I put up money for both of us to appear, as I wanted to get at him again; but he called on the police to accompany him to his place of business. He was a boss drayman, and a particular friend of a stevedore I had whipped a year previously, and he had it in for me. There was a man in New Orleans before the war that supplied the steamboat men with silver to pay their deck-hands.
The latter are naked to the waist, but wear a leather apron like that of a drayman, covering the lower half of the chest, and another piece of leather, like a stock, protecting their necks and jugular veins. The duel may last a couple of hours, and any number of rounds up to as many as two hundred may be fought.
The air navigators engaged the place at five dollars a day for a week or more, and put a half dozen Mexican laborers at work removing the few horses and cleaning out the building and corral. The proprietor, who owned one of the few wagons in the town, they also hired as a drayman at $2.50 a day for himself and team. Work began at once.
