"Do you belong with this bunch?" one of them asked. The boys held up their handcuffed wrists. "Who's got the key?" demanded the outlaw. Cullen held out a ring of keys and the robber promptly used one of them on the handcuff. When the manacles dropped from the boys' wrists, he threw the ring of keys into the gulch and tossed the handcuffs in the same direction.
If Carlyle be correct in his declaration that "Truly a thinking man is the worst enemy the prince of darkness can have, and every time such a one announces himself there runs a shudder through the nether empire, where new emissaries are trained with new tactics, to hoodwink and handcuff him," who can doubt that the long dynasty of Eblis will instantly terminate, when every pulpit in Christendom, from the frozen shores of Spitzbergen to the green dells of Owhyhee, from the shining spires of Europe to the rocky battlements that front the Pacific, shall be filled with meek and holy men of ripe scholarship and resistless eloquence, whose scientific erudition keeps pace with their evangelical piety, and whose irreproachable lives attest that their hearts are indeed hallowed temples of that loving charity "that suffereth long and is kind; that vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up; thinketh no evil; beareth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things?"
And I suspect it was this masculine charm, and not her feminine features, that had won her the confidence of Baker and Co., and the respect of his female patients: big or little, excited or not excited, there was not one of them this bicipital baby-face could not pin by the wrists, and twist her helpless into a strong-room, or handcuff her unaided in a moment; and she did it, too, on slight provocation.
I sat in it, so that my wrist rested at somewhere near the level of my shoulder. "Mr. Brett," Mayes pursued, when his man was gone, "I am not so implacable a person as you perhaps believe me; in fact, I can assure you that my disposition is most friendly." "Then unfasten this handcuff," I said.
"Reckon I have," was the slow answer, "Leas'wise, they have thrown down their weapons." "Then why don't you handcuff them again, the rats!" "We are no rats, and I'll trouble you to be civil," returned Dick firmly. "Ha! I'll show you!" howled Arnold Baxter, and would have rushed at Dick had not the captain interposed. "Hold on, sir," were the words of the ship's owner. "We have called a truce.
He came toward Kerry with the bleeding member outstretched. Now was the Irishman's time by all his former resolutions, by the need he had for that money reward to deftly handcuff the outlaw.
"With an iron band round his waist fixed to the bench he sits on, and a sort of handcuff on his left wrist chaining him to the oar. He's on the lower deck where the worst men are sent, and the only light comes from the hatchways and through the oar-holes. Can't you imagine the sunlight just squeezing through between the handle and the hole and wobbling about as the ship moves?"
At this both Tom and Sam cut wry faces. "You are rather hard on us," said Dick slowly. "On the contrary, I think I am treating you generously. The Baxters wish to handcuff you and put you back into the hold." There was a pause, and then the boys agreed, if allowed to go on deck, to go below again whenever the captain wished. "But, remember, we are going to get away if we can," added Dick.
Ah seed um handcuff as many as eight tugethuh when dey marched dem tuh de pen. Yuh know dey had uh pen kinder like de pond pen fer cows an hosses. Well dey would drive us niggers tuh de pond pen an dey had er big block in de pen an dey put one uv us niggers on hit at a time. Bid us off tuh de highest bidder. Mah ole boss wuz a gambler.
The boat from the yacht now hove to by this time, filled with excited and profane sailormen. The skipper of the "White Swan," revolver drawn, stood in its bow as it bumped against the stairway. Howard Van Cleft was unbound: dazed but happy he tried to talk. "What why who?" he mumbled. "Pat Cleary, from the Holland Detective Agency," was Shirley's response. "There, handcuff these men quick.
