It was plain that Greer had labored tremendously all his life and that his strength was simply wonderful. It struck Madden as a strange coincidence that these two extreme types of luxury and labor should meet in this furnace on the Sargasso and fight for the trivial reason that one offended the other's sense of music. "All ready!" called Leonard.
"We cannot depend on our breeds," he went on soberly, "and Greer has gone over to the other side." Colina winced. "That leaves us four men and yourself and your father. If we had a stone building we could snap our fingers at them but everything is of wood. And fire is their favorite weapon. There are two courses open to us. We can go before they come, or we can stay and defend ourselves."
Above the stillness the pastor's voice rose, and chained the interest of every ear as he told, with many an envied compliment, how that the brave, noble, daring little Johnny Greer, when he saw the drowned body sweeping down toward the deep part of the river whence the agonized parents never could have recovered it in this world, gallantly sprang into the stream, and, at the risk of his life, towed the corpse to shore, and held it fast till help came and secured it.
Farnol Greer, on the other hand, was as heavily moulded as a bulldog. His arms were short and blocky; his shoulders welted with brawn; his chest was two hairy hills, like a gorilla's, while across his stomach muscles lay ridged like ropes. His waist was thick with pones of sinew bulging over the hips, as one sees in the statue of Discobolus.
This was followed by the rumor of his confession, in which it was said that he implicated Jim Brown, of Akron, and various parties in other places, and also Greer, and, as some said, Bart Ridgeley, all of whom belonged to an association, many members of which had been arrested.
"If you're all right, Greer and I will take a turn below and see what we can find," suggested Madden. Caradoc nodded apathetically and stared seaward toward the cable sagging into the dead ocean. The two boys moved gingerly up to the hatchway that led down to the forecastle. If disease had smitten the Minnie B they hoped to get some clew from the taint of the sailors' quarters.
Mostly English, the visitors were, and they held a Protestant service on Sunday in the saller-mongy." Barty looked secretly at his sister. His expression said: "And why shouldn't they?" Father Greer ignored the look, and continued his recital: "As was quite right and proper for them to do." There was a blink of the black eyes, and Barty recognised that he had not been unobserved.
Caradoc rescued himself by shoving open palms against the big bulging shoulders, and pushing himself away from this battering ram. Smith bumped into some onlookers, and got behind his guard some ten feet away from Greer. The Englishman's fine-grained stomach was covered with pink welts from his punishment. He had ceased smiling and was watching his man carefully.
We're determined to live under the laws. This is civilization. The cattle business is dead, land is getting tied up by title-deeds, the deer's gone, and there's nothing left but civilization. And I am the er as sheriff of Greer County I am a I am the angel of civilization, you may say." Mizzoo started up, too excited to notice Wilfred's suddenly distorted face.
Kid Greer, having probably struck up an acquaintance with Klanner during the past few days, had inveigled Klanner to-night into Baldy Jack's, ostensibly, no doubt, for an innocent and casual glass of beer, and in a general row and melee in the dance hall not an uncommon occurrence in a place like Baldy Jack's Klanner would be shot and killed. The rest was obvious.
