McTee straightened slowly and his eyes brightened. Hovey went on: "Before he'd been with us ten minutes, the rest of the men in the forecastle were looking up to him. He has the reputation. He won it by facing you and Henshaw at the same time. Now the lads listen to me, but they keep their eyes on Harrigan. I know what that means. That's why I come here and offer the leadership to you."
"Sure you didn't, but if you think you can treat me like a swine and get away with it " It was wonderful to see the eyes of McTee grow small. They seemed to retreat until they became points of light shining from the deep shadow of his brow. They were met by the cold, incurious light of Harrigan's stare. "You're a hard man, Harrigan."
If you don't, I promise on my part to tell Nora Harrigan, who, I dare say, is at the bottom of this, innocently or otherwise." "Courtlandt!" "I mean just what I say. Take your choice. Stop this nonsense yourself like a reasonable human being, or let Nora Harrigan stop it for you. There will be no duel, not if I can help it." Abbott saw instantly what would happen.
Harrigan was a fine specimen of the physical man, yes; but to be the father of a woman who was as beautiful as the legendary goddesses and who possessed a voice incomparable in the living history of music, here logic, the cold and accurate intruder, found an unlockable door. He liked the ex-prizefighter, so kindly and wholesome; but he also pitied him.
"What's happened, sir?" asked the bos'n. "Been seein' ghosts?" "Damn you," growled McTee, "I had a nap and a bad dream a hell of a nightmare." "You look it! You heard what Harrigan said? Does that sound as if I had enough backing?" "If the rest of them are as strong for it as Harrigan, it does." "As strong for it as Harrigan?
Our hopes were rewarded by Harrigan the butler, who came running out of a side entrance of the castle and made a flying leap at Budd from the side, just as the latter passed him.
He did not seem preparing to strike with his hands, which hung low, but rather like one who would leap at the throat with his teeth. The ship heaved and Harrigan sprang and his fists cracked one, two. He leaped out again under the captain's clubbed hands. Two spots of red glowed on McTee's ribs and the wolf pack moistened their lips.
I was thinking aloud. How long have you known the Harrigans?" "The father and mother I never saw before to-day." "Then you have met Miss Harrigan?" "I have seen her on the stage." "I have the happiness of being her confessor." They proceeded quite as far as a hundred yards before Courtlandt volunteered: "That must be interesting." "She is a good Catholic." "Ah, yes; I recollect now." "And you?"
As he reached it, lights were showing from the main cabin, and there were choruses of yells announcing the discovery that Campbell was missed. But Harrigan and the rest of the fugitives scarcely heard the sounds. The Irishman was busy measuring as carefully as he could in the dark dippers of water which the others drank.
Beneath the stiff red stubble the flesh was livid where those fingers had been, when he was able to draw breath again. "'Twas only a bit av a joke," he gasped, and gulped and swallowed hard. "'Twas only a bit av a joke I was tellin' the bhoys, about seein' you an' " Steve's voice bit in and cut him short. "Your turkey's ready, Harrigan!"
