Alice stood there, beautiful, pathetic, austere; and Dan had halted in the spot to which he had advanced, when her eye forbade him to approach nearer. He did not mean to joke, and it was in despair that he cried out: "But which, Alice? There are two of them." "Two?" she repeated vaguely. "Yes; Mrs. Frobisher and Miss Wrayne. You can't give me up to both of them." "Both?" she repeated again.
His almond-shaped eyes met the other's for a few seconds, and then turned ground-ward. "Me believe me heal someone moving ovel hele," he replied, "and so me came see if anybody tly to get in." "Then what did you fall over?" asked Frobisher. "Me go look see if anybody hiding outside camp," explained Ling glibly, "and me fall ovel shafts of calt coming back.
"Well," exclaimed Drake sharply, as this peculiar-looking individual reached the deck and stood staring round him, "what the dickens d'ye want? Who are ye? What's your name?" "My name Ling-Wong, mastel," replied the Korean, "and I come flom Excellency Kyong-Bah, at Yong-wol." "Phew!" whistled Drake, turning to Frobisher. "Kyong-bah is the man I negotiated with about this cargo.
SIR HUMPHREY GILBERT, one of the brilliant figures of Elizabeth's reign scholar, poet, courageous adventurer, and man of chivalry stimulated by the discoveries of Frobisher, obtained a patent or charter in 1578, and, after several unsuccessful attempts, led an expedition of small sailing ships to Newfoundland, where he entered St.
Drake, now forty, was 'Admiral'; Frobisher, of North-West-Passage fame, was 'Vice'; Knollys, the Queen's own cousin, 'Rear. Carleill, a famous general, commanded the troops and sailed in Shakespeare's Tiger.
The English vessels, on the other hand with a few exceptions, light, swift, and easily handled could sail round and round those unwieldy galleons, hulks, and galleys rowed by fettered slave-gangs. The superior seamanship of free Englishmen, commanded by such experienced captains as Drake, Frobisher, and Hawkins from infancy at home on blue water was manifest in the very, first encounter.
Swaggering in the coffee-houses and ruffling it in the streets were the men who had sailed with Frobisher and Drake and Sir Humphrey Gilbert, Hawkins, and Sir Richard Granville; had perhaps witnessed the heroic death of Sir Philip Sidney, at Zutphen; had served with Raleigh in Anjou, Picardy, Languedoc, in the Netherlands, in the Irish civil war; had taken part in the dispersion of the Spanish Armada, and in the bombardment of Cadiz; had filled their cups to the union of Scotland with England; had suffered shipwreck on the Barbary Coast, or had, by the fortune of war, felt the grip of the Spanish Inquisition; who could tell tales of the marvels seen in new-found America and the Indies, and, perhaps, like Captain John Smith, could mingle stories of the naive simplicity of the natives beyond the Atlantic, with charming narratives of the wars in Hungary, the beauties of the seraglio of the Grand Turk, and the barbaric pomp of the Khan of Tartary.
Frobisher consequently realised with dismay that he might be compelled to stay where he was for several days, allowing the enemy ample time to arrive on the spot and capture the caravan. Evidently, he told himself, it would never do to be delayed by this obstacle; but how was he to overcome it? that was the question.
Meanwhile Frobisher advanced with the flotilla against the harbor fort, and as soon as Carleill was heard in contact with the enemy's pickets he opened fire. The boat-attack was repulsed indeed, it may only have been intended as what soldiers then called "a hot alarm" but Carleill was completely successful.
Frobisher. He heard me inquire about you and volunteered to give me an interview in your name." "Frobisher!" said Emerson, now thoroughly mystified. "Sure, that's him, over yonder." The reporter indicated "Fingerless" Fraser, who, having watched the interview from a distance, now solemnly closed one eye and stuck his tongue into his cheek. "Oh, yes, yes! Frobisher!" Boyd stammered. "Certainly!"
