After the Conscription Act had come into force a few companies, who were time-expired as volunteers, threw down their arms and told their colonel they wouldn't serve another day. On hearing this officially Jackson asked: "Why does Colonel Grigsby refer to me to learn how to deal with mutineers? He should shoot them where they stand."
"I wouldn't call him a man," said Mr. Grigsby, contemptuously. "But he's the critter I referred to." Mr. Jacobs scowled blackly at Charley, and his father, and Mr. Grigsby, and tried to brazen it out. However, 'twas plain to be seen that he was ill at ease. "What's the meaning of this?" he demanded, all around. "What did you bring me up here for?"
My new city which I start only three miles below, and call by my name my gute name which when I was useful was so popular is neglected, and everybody flock here. I once was rich; now soon I am bankrupt; all because my men discovered this gold. This gold, I hate it. It will be the ruin of this country." "Well, captain, I'm sorry to hear this from you," said Mr. Grigsby.
Then the cleats were cleaned and the gold separated. As further into the foothills the trail led, the more numerous were the miners; and when the first of the mountains were entered, every gulch and ravine held its busy population. Grigsby, ahead, pointed and said: "There's the saw-mill."
"He might be the same," admitted Charley. "At any rate," continued Mr. Grigsby, "the best we can do is to keep quiet and lie low. It hasn't worked any harm to tell those fellows that we know what's happened and we're not afraid of 'em. We've given them something to think about. But we'll not burn more powder until we're pretty certain of fetching a scalp. That's my opinion."
It was this: "'Good boys who to their books apply Will all be great men by and by." All of his comrades remembered his stories and his clearness in argument. "When he appeared in company," says Nat Grigsby, "the boys would gather and cluster around him to hear him talk. Mr. Lincoln was figurative in his speech, talks, and conversation.
"Wash what we've brought, but don't you dare to iron them; eh, Grigsby?" said Mr. Adams. "Ze rough wash it shall be, messieurs," bowed the stout Frenchman. "On the trap trail we washed twice a year spring and fall," commented Mr. Grigsby, as they trudged out. "That's plenty often enough here, too, the way prices run." "Look at the crowd!" exclaimed Mr.
"Husband seems a likely character to hobnob with, don't he, Charles? No wonder she turned her eye on Paul, eh?" Mark Grigsby ended with. But Sir Charles answered not, his thoughts were full of his son. All the forces of nature and emotion seemed to be drawing him away from peaceful England towards a hornets' nest, and he his father would be powerless to prevent it.
He was annoyed and pained by the conduct of the boys who were in the habit of catching terrapins and putting coals of fire on their backs. "He would chide us," says Grigsby, "tell us it was wrong, and would write against it."
And here were he and his partners, stranded at the very beginning of their journey across to the Pacific! That had been a mean trick by the long-nosed man. Charley grew hot with anger. "I should think Maria and Francisco would have waked up," he complained. "They're awake by this time, and considerably surprised, too," answered Mr. Grigsby.
