He passed the indorsed check across the bar and received for it a comfortably large wad of wilted greenbacks which he proceeded to intern with tender care in an inside pocket of his vest, where he moored them with a safety-pin. Then he ordered another drink. But to this new order there was an instant demurrer.
The discovery of a man with two hearts might be worth something. At least, it would put Frank Corson, unknown intern, into the spotlight for a while. This was pretty vague thinking but it made a kind of sense and Frank settled for it in lieu of trying to analyze the strange compulsion, the odd foreboding deep within him. Here's a thing that might do me some good, he told himself.
How narrow a margin of time he had in which to make this bold stroke may be realized from the fact that the Baltimore, his second vessel in size, reached Hongkong on the 22d of April and went into dry dock on the 23d, and that on the following day the squadron was ordered either to leave the port or to intern.
"You misapprehend the situation," said Donovan. "As a warship of a belligerent Power entering a neutral harbour you are liable " Von Moll laughed aloud. "You intern me," he said. "Well," drawled Donovan, "I do. Say, Captain, you didn't drop in here just for the pleasure of shooting Smith and carrying off the King. Those weren't your main purposes.
I'll load the ship with longshoremen entirely, and we'll sail with the crew of that German liner that came a few days ago to intern in Richardson's Bay until the European war is over." "I'm not partial to the German cause," Matt Peasley announced. "So I'll just veto that plan right now, Mike." "Matt, we're neutral," Cappy declared. "And it pays to ship those Germans, Matt," Murphy continued.
The day I purchased her it was a moral certainty that Europe was to be plunged into a terrible war; so the ink wasn't dry on the contract before I was streaking it for New York. War was declared by England on Germany on the fifth of August, and while you'd be saying Jack Robinson every German freighter went into neutral ports to intern until the war should terminate.
True we can't get back to our front; and true again the chances are thousands to one against our escaping capture, but Holland is somewhere back of us and to the north -and we have that one chance, in spite of all the odds." "And what'll they do to us in Holland -intern us for the duration of the war!" Bob was still pessimistic. "Oh, you can't tell.
Would it intern the belligerents, or allow them to use the Urga district as a base of operations? As a matter of fact, the question had been settled just before my arrival. The Czechs had made the expected attack with about five hundred men; all the Magyars, to the number of several thousand, had surrendered, and the Bolsheviki had disappeared like mists before the sun.
They read our thoughts and a subdued murmur of: "No intern, no intern," swelled up. The local burgomaster came to us. His first words, and in good English, too, were: "Have something to eat." We did. And then more cigars. The police were a splendid lot of men. They loaded us down with gifts and asked perfunctory questions for their records.
"What do they do with their prisoners keep them here?" "No, ship 'em to German East Africa an' intern 'em. The Prince Eitel is due 'ere tomorrow to ship us." So that was the explanation of all this mystery War! Madden fell silent with the sensation of a man who had lost his footing on earth. All his life he had been accustomed to peace.
