The last wicket fell for ninety-two, a respectable total, of which fifty-nine had been made off the Parretts' batsmen, and thirty- three off the schoolhouse. Indeed, the advantage of the schoolhouse did not end there. Out of three catches not counting Riddell's they had made two, while of the five wickets which had been taken by the bowling, they claimed three against their rivals' two.
Seventy of them were sick felons, chained with heavy irons. Being useless for the French galleys, they were now being transported to America, to be sold as slaves. The imprisoned Huguenots men and women were fifty-nine in number. They were crammed into a part of the ship that could scarcely hold them. They could not stand upright; nor could they lie down. They had to lie upon each other.
Dave passed better than he had hoped, making two-nine as his standing. Dalzell was forced to be content with two-seven, but as two-five was a high enough mark for passing Dan was delighted. Fifty-nine of the men of the fourth class were dropped for failing to keep up to the two-five standard. And one of these was Midshipman Brimmer.
Of the enemy engaged there were sixty thousand; of the Romans about sixteen; the victory, however, was so decisive, that the Romans slew more than their own number of the enemy, and captured more than three thousand, with nearly a thousand horses and fifty-nine military standards, five elephants having been slain in the battle. They made themselves masters of the three camps on that day.
Six hundred miserable francs, a fine thing, indeed! And here are you, with six hundred and fifty-nine thousand well invested, and sixty thousand francs' income, thanks to me, who never spend more than three thousand a year, everything included, even my own clothes, yes, everything! and you never think of offering him a home here, though there's the second floor empty!
In the autumn of 1778, Frances Slocum, a little girl five years old, was stolen from her home in Wyoming Valley, and carried away by Delaware Indians. For a period of fifty-nine years the search for her was prosecuted with more or less earnestness.
Of eighty-six officers, sixty-three were killed or disabled; while out of thirteen hundred and seventy-three noncommissioned officers and privates, only four hundred and fifty-nine came off unharmed. By another account, out of a total, officers and men, of 1,460, the number of all ranks who escaped was 583. Braddock saw that all was lost.
The then population of Minneapolis died two years ago; and when he died he had seen himself undergo an increase, in forty years, of fifty-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine persons. He had a frog's fertility. I must explain that the figures set down above, as the population of St. Paul and Minneapolis, are several months old. These towns are far larger now.
Early in 1910 the vessel returned, bringing with her twenty-three Japanese feather hunters who had been captured at their work of destruction. In the hold of the vessel were stored two hundred and fifty-nine thousand pairs of wings, two and a half tons of baled feathers, and several large cases and boxes of stuffed birds.
"Suits me," said Jerry. "Ill take the first trick." Phil's snoring something like fifty-nine seconds later was sufficient answer. All was still, and Jerry set about to await midnight, when he could hope for a brief snooze. After a while the silence began to wear on his nerves and in every night noise he fancied he heard steps.
