Some Greek freight handlers were unloading the car when they reached the track. The work was being done under the direction of a rather tall man, erect and dignified. He, the boys felt sure, was the Major. His face bore some peculiar scars, not deep but wide, and as he walked he limped slightly. "Might be he's lost some toes," muttered Barney. "Had a cousin who limped that way."
At night, he told Bayne he had private information, that the grinders were grumbling at being made a cat's-paw of by the forgers and the handlers. "Hold on," said he; "they will break up before morning." At ten o'clock next day he came down to the works, and some peremptory orders had poured in. "They must wait," said he, peevishly.
Brion had an arm around him, holding him up, walking towards the rushing handlers. Then Irolg was gone and he waved off his own men, walking slowly by himself. Except that something was wrong and it was like walking through warm glue. Walking on his knees. No, not walking, falling. At last. He was able to let go and fall. Ihjel gave the doctors exactly one day before he went to the hospital.
The platforms and the big freight shed were alive with the bustle of the freight handlers, loading and unloading cars, trundling boxes and bales from one part of the platform to another and in and out of the big shed; and unnoticed, Jack discovered where the wires from the pole passed in under the roof.
"By Jove!" said Gerald, roused at last from his habitual apathy. "What's the matter?" asked Orde, looking up from tying the rubber-soled shoes that Gerald had lent him. "Murphy," called Gerald, "come here." A very hairy, thick-set, bullet-headed man, the type of semi-professional "handlers," emerged from somewhere across the gymnasium. "Do you think you could down this fellow?" asked Gerald.
But Jansoulet, far from appearing to be vexed, he who was so proud to pose for that lovely artist, so puffed up by the honor conferred upon him nodded his head approvingly. "She is right, Jenkins," he said, "she is right. We are the real Bohemia. Look at me, for instance, and Hemerlingue, two of the greatest handlers of money in Paris.
I don't think the handlers treated me quite right that time, but maybe they didn't know the Ottawa dog was dead. I did. I learned my fighting from my mother when I was very young. We slept in a lumber-yard on the river-front, and by day hunted for food along the wharves.
They had to go to the market, and they had to go on foot. That meant that they must be driven northward by cattle handlers who had passed their days in the wild life of the lower range. These cowmen of course took their character and their customs northward with them, and so they were discovered by those enthusiastic observers, newly arrived by rail, whom the cowmen were wont to call "pilgrims."
Rivera had no goat. He, who was more delicately coordinated, more finely nerved and strung than any of them, had no nerves of this sort. The atmosphere of foredoomed defeat in his own corner had no effect on him. His handlers were Gringos and strangers. Also they were scrubs the dirty driftage of the fight game, without honor, without efficiency.
Kennon checked in at the commandant's office before he left for the main island. "How is Douglas?" he asked. "He's alive," Mullins said. "We flew him to Albertsville and good riddance. How are the Lani?" "They'll be all right," Kennon said. "It's just food poisoning. I suggest you check your kitchen and your food handlers. There's a break in sanitation that could incapacitate your whole command.
