E. S. Carmen, editor of the "Rural New Yorker:" "Apples Early Harvest, Gravenstein, Jefferis, Baldwin, Mother, Spitzenburgh. Pears Seckel, Tyson, Clapp's Favorite, Bartlett, Beurre d'Anjou, and Dana's Hovey. Cherries Black Tartarian, Coe's Transparent, Governor Wood, Mezel, Napoleon Bigarreau." The authorities appear to differ.
It was along these two roads that three divisions of McClernand's corps, and Blair of Sherman's, temporarily under McClernand, were moving. Hovey of McClernand's command was with McPherson, farther north on the road from Bolton direct to Edward's station.
This he held poised, ready to drive it at the first man who approached. Their semicircle grew compact before him, but still they hesitated, for the man who made the first move would die. "You fools!" said Harrigan, brandishing his stool. "Keep off!" He was thinking desperately, quickly. "Harrigan," said Hovey, edging his way to the front of the sailors, "you heard!" "I did!"
"You're a fool," said Garry Cochrane. "We loot the ship before we abandon her. There'll be money somewhere." "Aye," said Hovey, "there's money. That's what I got you together for tonight. There's money, and more of it than you ever dreamed of."
Logan alone captured 1,300 prisoners and eleven guns. Hovey captured 300 under fire and about 700 in all, exclusive of 500 sick and wounded whom he paroled, thus making 1,200. McPherson joined in the advance as soon as his men could fill their cartridge-boxes, leaving one brigade to guard our wounded. The pursuit was continued as long as it was light enough to see the road.
Seeing the opportunity to destroy all her respect for Harrigan, he schemed instantly to betray his word to Hovey. Like Harrigan earlier in the day, he had no purpose to reveal the planned mutiny at once.
He had planned this laconic statement carefully, expecting to see Henshaw turn pale and stammer in terror. Instead, the captain regarded McTee with quietly contemplative eyes. "So," he murmured, "you've heard of the mutiny?" The tables were completely turned on the Scotchman. He gasped: "You have known all the time?" "Certainly," said Henshaw; "I even know every word that Hovey said to you."
All this had occurred in the space of half a dozen seconds; the first rush of the mutineers was spent; before they could lunge forward again, McTee flung the half-lifeless body of his human weapon into the midst of the crowd and, turning with Harrigan at his shoulder, they sprang up the ladder to the main cabin door. Hovey was screaming commands over the din; the crowd rushed after the fugitives.
The chuckle of the sailors was like the rumble of the machinery below, blended and lost with that sound. "So he's out an' you know what that means," went on Hovey. A light came into the pale eyes of Sam Hall, and his thick lips pulled back in a grin. "Aye," he growled, "we do! He's a strong man, but" and here he raised his vast arms and stretched them "I'll tend to Harrigan!"
The portrait puts into a few square inches of space what Mr. Hovey takes half an acre of paper for. And all that he really does on the half-acre of paper is to bring back to one again and again that set and focused look one sees in Mr. Morgan's eyes the remoteness, the silence, the amazing, dogged, implacable concentration, and, when all is said, a certain terrible, inexplicable blindness.
