Curtis, at the peril of his life, hastened to bring the man on board, It proved to be none other than Silas Huntly, who, after being carried overboard with the mast, had thus, almost by a miracle, escaped a watery grave. Without a word of thanks to his deliverer, the ex-captain, passive, like an automaton, passed on and took his seat in the most secluded corner of the poop.
If you desire to know the details of the judicial proceedings connected with the murder of Andre Marie-Joseph Vauvenarde, ex-Captain in the Chasseurs d'Afrique, and the trial of Anastasius Papadopoulos, I must refer you to the Algerian, Parisian, and London Press. There you will find an eagerly picturesque account of the whole miserable affair.
Frenchmen, Dutchmen, Germans, and Poles, came and tarried for a longer or shorter time. Here Talleyrand, then an exile, spent several days with Cooper's father, and, true to national instinct, wrote, according to local tradition, complimentary verses, still preserved, on Cooper's sister. An ex-captain of the British army was one of the original merchants of the place.
The laugh would have been so much against the King, that he never would have dared to lay a finger upon me. What would Monsieur de Voltaire have said to such an act of tyranny? But it was a lucky day, and everything has turned out to my wish. As I lay in my bed two and a half hours after your departure, in comes your ex-Captain Potzdorff.
In Issoudun and its neighborhood there were a dozen officers in Max's position. These men admired him and made him their leader, with the exception, however, of Carpentier, his successor, and a certain Monsieur Mignonnet, ex-captain in the artillery of the Guard. Carpentier, a cavalry officer risen from the ranks, had married into one of the best families in the town, the Borniche-Herau.
Mistress White took up the flowers, not answering the challenge, but glancing under her long lashes at the ex-captain, to whom presently the overseer turned, saying, "Would thee give me a word or two with thee by ourselves, Richard?" "There are none in the parlor," said Priscilla, "if thee will talk there."
It was supported by two rests placed under its handle bars, and he was gazing curiously at the big wheel, which he was slowly spinning with one hand. "Hello, 'Cider'!" cried the first of the new-comers, "what's up? Anything the matter with your wheel?" "I believe there is," answered the ex-captain, in such a peculiar tone of voice that it at once arrested attention.
Billy queried, striving to get some inkling of the identity of the physical prodigy. The other laughed and shook his head, and Billy could not guess that he was an ex-captain of a 'Varsity Eleven, and incidentally the father of a family and the author of many books. He looked Billy over with an eye trained in measuring freshmen aspirants for the gridiron.
"Aye," answered the ex-captain slowly, "for I have none but thee in the world to care for." She turned her face up. "Is there none not even one woman in far-off Beretania, whose face comes to thee in the darkness." Brantley shook his head sadly. Of course there was Doris, he thought, but he had never spoken of her.
Now, another thing: do you know Fred Snodgrass, an ex-Captain of the Army, who lives at the Boulogne?" "Casually," said Carpenter. "Ever suspect him of being in the German pay?" "No. However, he is an intimate friend of Von Swinkle, the Second Secretary if that's any indication." "Rather the reverse, I should say. However, he met Madeline Spencer yesterday in Union Station.
