The mountain Belgian must be looked for in the environs of lake Balehas, in the country of Organum or Irganekon. According to the Nighiaristan, a collection of oriental history, the Turkomanni likewise came from a place called Belgian or Bilkhan. Forst. Faucon Pelerin, the Pilgrim Falcon, Forst. Esmerliones, or Merlins. Forst. The Bondree and Sacre, or the Honey-buzzard and Sacre. Forst.
We left our shawls and carpet-bags in the salle a manger of the Hotel Faucon, and set forth to find the cathedral, the pinnacled tower of which is visible for a long distance up and down the lake.
Now one fine day in July, while I was drinking at the Faucon, in walks Elias Hirsch, just as miserable as ever, with hollow cheeks, hair hanging in disorder about his face, and downcast eyes. He laid his hand upon my shoulder, and said "Dear Christian, will you do me a pleasure?" "Of course I will, Elias; only say what."
Following the main road south from Dickebusch you cross the frontier and come to Bailleul, a town of which we were heartily sick before the winter was far gone. In peace it would be once seen and never remembered. It has no character, though I suppose the "Faucon" is as well known to Englishmen now as any hotel in Europe. There are better shops in Béthune and better cafés in Poperinghe.
While in California on one of these voyages he found James Hall on board another ship at the same wharf, and in a letter to Captain Faucon written June, 1893, says, ``I persuaded him to take the first officer's berth, and what an officer he was!! Everything went on like clockwork.
But Stimson, after considerable negotiating and working, had succeeded in persuading my English friend, Tom Harris, my companion in the anchor watch, for thirty dollars, some clothes, and an intimation from Captain Faucon that he should want a second mate before the voyage was over, to take his place in the brig as soon as she was ready to go up to windward.
There was a steely glitter in his blue eyes as he murmured: "Now for the fox's hide! She shall have her way for a time! My play comes on later, when the deal is with me!" He sprang lightly ashore, and was chatting with the gold-banded porter of the Hotel Faucon, when a lovely face, thrilling in its awakened emotion, met his glance at the window of a carriage.
Then as Major Alan Hawke stepped lightly away to the sedately closed Hotel Faucon, Casimir Wieniawski staggered back into the cafe. His fit of passionate sorrow was brief, for in a half hour he was the king of a mad revel, where his meaner sycophants divided Alan Hawke's bounty. The cool Major strode along happy hearted to his rest, quietly revolving the plan of campaign.
I may, however, join you and help you secretly, or I may have to stay away altogether. But I must act at once. There's money in it. If you have to make the running yourself, you can get your own help." "And, you have the real stuff?" agnostically demanded Jack Blunt. "What do you want for a starter as your pay for the report to be sent to me at the Hotel Faucon, Lausanne, Switzerland?"
The Captain has hunted with nearly every pack of hounds in England, while I have hunted with none, so that I was hot and thirsty and uncommonly sore when we clattered into the town. Leaving the Captain to see the horses stabled at the Hôtel du Faucon, I slipped off to get a drink.
