An embarrassed pause fell. "Who are you, anyway?" bluntly demanded the man with the steel hook. "My name is Eagen," I replied; "I've the berth of mate. Which of these bunks are empty?" They indicated what I desired with just a trace of sullenness.
"By the way, Eagen, have you noticed those big bats the last few evenings, over by the cliff? I can't make out in the dusk whether they are vampires or just plain bats." He directed his remarks again to the Nigger. "Next time you see any of those big bats, Doctor, just you notice close.
There was no sound or movement, as he accustomed his eyes to the dim light without. He moved across the threshold and walked straight to a bulky figure standing beside a large horse. "You want to see me, Eagen?" he asked coldly. "Watch out there, Eagen!" came Mallory's voice in a strident tone from a window above them. "I've got you covered with this Winchester!"
Eagan, don't you want to go hunting?" or "Mr. Eagen, I guess I'll just go along with you to stretch my legs," had given way to, "We're going fishing: you'd better come along." I had known for a long time that I had lost any real control of them; and that perhaps humiliated me a little.
"I would have given my right hand to save him," cried Slade. "It was so sudden so damnable " "Better to have saved him than me," said Darrow. He spoke with the first touch of feeling that he exhibited. "I have to thank you for my life, Eagen I beg your pardon: Slade. It's hard to remember." Dr. Trendon arose, and Captain Parkinson with him. "Give you two hours, Mr. Darrow," said the surgeon.
"By God, Eagen," he squeaked, "can you think of anything more to be done?" I straightened my back and laughed. "Haven't you worked us hard enough?" I inquired. "Unless you gild the cabins, I don't see what else there can be to do." Captain Selover stared me over. "And you a naval man!" he marvelled. "Don't you see that the only thing that keeps this crew from gettin' restless is keeping them busy?
Had she thought, perhaps, that there would be gun play, and that Eagen might emerge the victor, thus assuring her that he, Rathburn, would bother her no more? Rathburn's eyes narrowed, and his face froze, as he watched Laura and Doane out of sight up the street. He knew now why he had had to come back. There was nothing left nothing but his dreams, his sinister reputation, and his gun!
To-night I am the last leaf. 'All his lovely companions are faded and gone, the sprightly Solomon, the psychic Nigger, the amiable Thrackles, the cheerful Perdosa, the genial Pulz, and the high-minded Eagen. Undoubtedly the social atmosphere has cleared; moreover, I am for the first time in my life a landed proprietor.
Trendon's patient, sir," said Captain Parkinson, with emphasis. "Outside of that, your attitude toward a man who has twice thought of your life before his own is for you to determine." No little cynicism lurked in Darrow's tones as he said: "You have confidence in Mr. Slade, alias Eagen." "Yes," replied Captain Parkinson, in a tone that closed that topic.
"Tell him I'm tellin' the truth!" shouted Eagen at the shaking bank cashier. "You can't get out of it." There was a tense moment. Doane shook his head weakly; he was a picture of guilt. "He got scared I wouldn't go through with the play, sheriff," Eagen continued. "Thought maybe I'd make off with all the kale. So he framed it with Rathburn, an' I caught 'em about to divide it here."
