They marched to the bank the chief's men opening fire on them, but without doing any damage made terms with the ferrymen, with Cypriano's help, crossed the Quango, and were at the end of their troubles.
God bless thee ever. New-York, Match 29, 1801. On Wednesday, the 18th, I left the great city. At the Susquehannah the wind was rude; the river, swollen by recent rains, was rapid. The ferrymen pronounced it to be impossible to pass with horses, and unsafe to attempt it. By the logic of money and brandy I persuaded them to attempt it.
On the opposite side of the river, is the village of Taboulaunt, peopled mostly with Jews and ferrymen. Soubeit is a very ancient city on the left bank of the Omm-Erbegh, surrounded with walls, and situate twenty miles from El-Medina in a mountainous region abounding with hares; it is inhabited by a tribe of the same name, or probably Sbeita, which is also the name of a tribe south of Tangier.
This was the real Shary, the great river of the Kotoko, which with the river Loggun forms a large basin, giving to this part of Negroland its characteristic feature. After some time a ferry-boat appeared, but the ferrymen declined carrying the party over before they had informed their master.
On the Scottish coasts fishermen and ferrymen the latter a numerous class on that deeply indented seaboard offered up one man in every five or six on the altar of protection. The sacrifice distressed them less than indiscriminate pressing. A prosperous people, they chose out those of their number who could best be spared, supporting the families thus left destitute by common subscription.
The Furrah Rood is broader and swifter here than the Harood, and when at sunset we reach the ferry, it is to find that the boat is on the other side and the ferrymen gone to their homes for the night.
The number of the last must have been very great. For the period specially under notice, viz. that beginning with the year 1803, there are no less than five volumes of 'protections. Exemptions by custom probably originated at a very remote date: ferrymen, for example, being everywhere privileged from impressment.
These I recommended to the care of our grim ferrymen, who instantaneously loaded their boat with them and delivered them on the opposite bank, without damage or diminution.
What had also disappeared was a small basket, woven out of bast of two colours, in which the ferrymen kept those copper and silver coins which they received as a fare. The boat had also disappeared, Siddhartha saw it lying by the opposite bank. The boy had ran away. "I must follow him," said Siddhartha, who had been shivering with grief since those ranting speeches, the boy had made yesterday.
He briefly stated the case to her, and she at once ordered one of her ferrymen to put him on board the Newcastle packet, which was in sight, and near the Jersey shore. They made all speed, for there was not a moment to lose. When they came along-side the packet, the captain, supposing him to be a passenger for Baltimore, ordered the sailors to assist him on board.
