On Tuesday morning they presented themselves at the Port Royal ferry, and inquired of the ferry-man, while he was taking them over in squads of seven at a time, if he had seen any two such men. Continuing their inquiries at Port Royal, they found one Rollins a fisherman, who referred them to a negro named Lucas, as having driven two men a short distance toward Bowling Green in a wagon.
You were asking, my lad, what the journey costs it costs nothing. Nothing? What nonsense! Not since you got wet, said Hrolfur and smiled, though you could still see the tears in his eyes. It's an old law of ours that if the ferry-man lets his passengers get wet, even though it's only their big toe, then he forfeits his toll.
Nancy went to the door and gazed toward the road. "Dost think, brother, the Indians have waylaid them?" she asked Dan at last. "Nay," answered Dan. "They are likely delayed at the ferry. Should the ferry-man be at his supper wild horses could not drag him from it, I 'll be bound.
Add to this that the ferry-man, spying us, will wait to tide us over together; and add also, if you will, that I have the better mount and it lies in my will that you shall neither lag behind nor outstrip me. Moreover, you are mistaken." "I am not mistaken. This day week I met Ruth Josselin and had speech with her." "Satisfactory, I hope?"
He looked back and saw a couple of horsemen galloping a long distance behind him, and there were other people with them. But this did not concern him. The ferry-boat was on the opposite side of the bay. Jurgen called to the ferry-man, and the latter came over with his boat.
He saw them comfortably seated, and the nurse and child in a safe place, and then he turned to the aged ferry-man with hearty good will, and inquired: "Well, old Charon! all right with you?"
After that, old Darnell got into trouble with the man that run the ferry, and the ferry-man got the worst of it and died. But his friends shot old Darnell through and through filled him full of bullets, and ended him. The country gentleman who told me these things had been reared in ease and comfort, was a man of good parts, and was college bred.
I cannot very distinctly trace out this day's peregrinations; but, after leaving Cumnor a few miles behind us, I think we came to a ferry over the Thames, where an old woman served as ferry-man, and pulled a boat across by means of a rope stretching from shore to shore.
And Joe, who has just arrove at the tavern, do report all right in the walley," was the satisfactory answer of the ferry-man. "Oh! then our carriage is waiting for us there?" "Yes, sir, which it arrove just about twenty minutes ago, punk-too-well to time!" replied the old man.
"I was rowed across a river," answered he, "and got it there; it lies on the shore instead of sand." "Can I too fetch some of it?" said the King; and he was quite eager about it. "As much as you like," answered he. "There is a ferry-man on the river; let him ferry you over, and you can fill your sacks on the other side."
