"Why, sor, they've found it in big nuggets in some places, an' Muster Gashford is off wid a party not half an hour past. I'm goin' mesilf, only I thought I'd see first if ye wouldn't jine me; but ye don't seem to care for goold no more nor if it was copper; an that's quare, too, whin it was the very objec' that brought ye here." "Ah, Flinders, I have gained more than my object in coming.
Flinders. It was possible that he might have broken off his connection with the paper, only then the letter would probably have been returned; and the other alternative was less agreeable, that it was not worth his while to write to his niece. While as to Maude Sefton, nothing was heard of her. Were her letters intercepted? And so the winter side of autumn set in.
Then by marrying her I shall have a right to protect her and she stands greatly in need of a protector in this wild country at this time, poor thing! and some one to work for her, seeing that she has no means whatever!" "Troth, an' that's just what she does need, sor!" said Paddy Flinders, stepping out of the bush at the moment.
As our messmate Flinders used to say, `Be aisy, an' if ye can't be aisy, be as aisy as ye can. There's wot I calls sound wisdom in that." "Very true, Ben; nevertheless the sound wisdom in that won't avail to get us out o' this." "No doubt, but it'll help us to bear this with equablenimity while we're here, an' set our minds free to think about the best way o' makin' our escape."
Maritime discovery, especially since his voyage with Flinders, had always fascinated his mind, and he now offered himself for service in that Arctic region with which his name will ever be associated. The long struggle of the war had halted the progress of discoveries in the northern seas.
Calton smiled in a gratified manner as he noted this down. "A little diplomacy is all that's required," he said mentally. "And where did you go then?" he added, aloud. "I met Rolleston in the train, and we took a cab from the Flinders Street station up to the Club." "What Club?" "The Melbourne Club." "Yes?" interrogatively.
We had now travelled upwards of eighty miles under Flinders range, from Crystal brook to Mount Arden, and hitherto the character of that range had varied but little. High, rocky, and barren, it rises abruptly from the plains, and so generally even is the country at its base, that we had no difficulty in keeping our drays within a mile or two of it.
The Investigator stood on her course, and as the strange ship became more clearly defined it was evident that she was making towards the British sloop. Flinders therefore "cleared for action in case of being attacked."
KENNEDY Island, N.E. of Duff's. I have been unable to find any account of it. They have been visited by Labillardiere, Cook, and the northern point by D'Urville; this latter part so closely resembles an atoll that I have coloured it dark blue. The limits of this great reef, which has already been described, have been coloured from the charts of Flinders and King.
He carried no visible weapons save a small hatchet and a bowie-knife, though his capacious pockets might easily have concealed half a dozen revolvers. "Goot night, my frunds," said the stranger, in broken English, as he approached. "The same to yersilf, sor," returned Flinders.
