As for Maud, a tumult of feeling came over her heart at this extraordinary proposal. To liberate Bob, to lead him into the Hut, to offer his manly protection to her mother, and Beulah, and little Evert, at such an instant, caught her imagination, and appealed to all her affections. "Can you do this, Tuscarora" she asked, earnestly, pressing her hand on her heart as if to quiet its throbbings.
This result agreed with my observation within less than four miles, and that of our mate, named Evert. But the captain's and the English mate's calculation brought us before the Maes, as Evert told me.
"She and Beulah are busy with little Evert, who crows and kicks his heels about as if he despised danger as becomes a soldier's son, and has much amused even me; though I am accused of insensibility to his perfections. Believing you might be solitary, or might wish to communicate with some of us, my mother desired me to come and inquire into your wants." "Was such a bidding required, Maud!
As our tale proceeds, we shall have occasion to show, perhaps, how far was that submission to events which she inculcated, from the impulses of her true character. Beulah answered mildly, but it was more as a young American wife: "I know Evert thinks it all right, Maud; and you will own he is neither fiery nor impetuous.
The attachment between Evert Beekman and Beulah Willoughby was of a character so simple, so sincere, and so natural, as scarce to furnish materials for a brief episode.
Fourth Sergeant, Dennis Bush. First Corporal, John Seaburn. Second Corporal, Evert Hoglant. Third Corporal, Thomas Knox. Fourth Corporal, Jonathan Gibbons. Drummer, Stephen Vardine. Fifer, Thomas Cook. Armourer, James Roberts. Besides the names of this company we can give a few privates of the Pennsylvania Flying Camp who are mentioned by Saffel.
John Andersen was the first mate; the sailors were Lars, Evert, Ivor, Hakon, Pehr, and Harald. All of these men had encountered many a gale, and two had been wrecked. Towards nine o'clock that evening, the captain and I went to our bunks, the captain leaving the first mate and three men on the watch.
Beulah pressed little Evert to her heart, while her pallid countenance was turned to her father with a look that seemed to devour every syllable. As for Maud, a strange mixture of dread and wild delight were blended in her bosom. To have Bob liberated, and restored to them, was approaching perfect happiness, though it surpassed her powers not to dread misfortunes.
A story is told of the enthusiasm of Evert Jansen Wendell, as he stood on the side lines of this same game and saw the big Crimson roller crushing Yale down to overwhelming defeat. This enthusiastic Harvard graduate cried out: "'We must score again! "Another Harvard sympathiser, standing nearby, said: "'Mr. Wendell, don't you think we have beaten them badly enough? What more do you want?
Beat him we did, beyond a question, and that with a heavy loss to his army and out of New York we have driven him, beyond a question but I will not increase Beulah's conceit by stating any more!" "If you can tell me anything kind of Evert, Bob, you will act like a brother in so doing," said the gentle wife. "Ay, Beekman did well too, they said.
