Suddenly the fellow made a dart for third; though Heady's throw was straight and swift, the fellow dived for the base, and slid into safety under the ball. In the shadow of this dash the other Charleston base-runner took second base without protest. The Charleston catcher was evidently determined to bring in at least one run, or die trying. He smashed at every ball that Reddy pitched.
And each landed on the other's neck. Now Sawed-Off seized Heady's valise, and Jumbo seized Reddy's, and then they all set off together the reunited Twins, the completed Dozen for the campus. The whole Twelve felt a new delight in the reunion, and realized for the first time how dear the Dozen was.
Captain H. D. Heady, of Swansboro, informed me that the ducks and geese he killed in one winter supplied him with one hundred pounds of selected feathers. Captain Heady's description of Bogue Inlet was not encouraging for the future prosperity of this coast, and the same may be said of all the inlets between it and Cape Fear.
With a gasp of resolve the Charleston runner, seeing by Heady's eyes that the ball was just at hand, flung himself to the ground, hoping to lay at least a finger-tip on the plate; but there was a quick thwack as the ball struck Heady's gloves, there was a stinging blow at the Charlestonian's right shoulder-blade, and the shrill cry of the umpire: "Out!"
