"They they 'aven't found 'im yet?" said the widow. Mr. Kidd shook his head. "My idea is they won't find 'im," he said, slowly. "Went down on the ebb tide," explained Mr. Brown; and spoilt Mr. Kidd's opening. "Wherever he is 'e's better off," said Mrs. Gibbs. "No more trouble about being out o' work; no more worry; no more pain. We've all got to go some day. "Yes," began Mr. Kidd; "but
But the little priest only walked slower and slower in the dim cloister of pine, and at last stopped dead, on the steps of the house. It was his silent way of acknowledging an equally silent approach; for there came towards him a presence that might have satisfied even Calhoun Kidd's demands for a lovely and aristocratic ghost.
Joe ran awhile on the road again and then took a job as chief-engineer of a big stamp-mill in Arizona, and going there he was lost to myself and the men on the road, and finally the Black Prince robbery passed into history, and nothing remained but the tradition, a sort of a myth of the mountains, like Captain Kidd's treasures, the amount only being increased by time.
Kidd's training had not fitted him for an intellectual combat with superior women, and he suffered accordingly. "It is with no desire to interrupt my friend Cassandra unnecessarily," said Mrs.
Then if Captain Kidd hadn't found the pouch we wouldn't have seen the compass that led to finding the wild-cat woman who told us that Danny was alive and well." "What a House-That-Jack-Built sort of tale that was!" exclaimed Barby, much amused. "We'll have to do something in Captain Kidd's honor. Give him a party perhaps, and light up the holiday tree."
After some haggling the devil proposed that Tom should start a loan office in Boston and use Kidd's money in exacting usury.
In the late spring or early summer of 1699 Captain Kidd's sloop sailed into the mouth of the Delaware Bay and changed the whole fortune of his life. And this is how you come to the story of Captain Kidd's treasure box. Old Matt Abrahamson kept the flat-bottomed boat in which he went fishing some distance down the shore, and in the neighborhood of the old wreck that had been sunk on the Shoals.
The earl, in his own defence, declared that he had received no grant from the king except a very distant reversion, and a present of ten thousand pounds after he had defeated the French at La Hogue; that in Kidd's affair he had acted legally, and with a good intention towards the public, though to his own loss; that his accounts with regard to the fleet which he commanded had been examined and passed; yet he was ready to waive the advantage, and justify himself in every particular; and he absolutely denied that he had given any advice concerning the treaty of partition.
"Anyhow, what I want right now is some cash. You agreed to pay me well for what I did the other night, and I haven't seen the money yet." "Be a little patient, can't you?" irritably retorted the other. "Money doesn't grow on trees. Now listen, Hank. How would you like to get a nice little sum of money more than I could give you for camping out on Kidd's Island, in the Upper Inlet, for a few days?"
But Kidd's penitential fit did not last long; for coasting along Malabar, he met with a great number of boats, all of which he plundered. Upon the same coast he also fell in with a Portuguese ship, which he kept possession of a week, and then having taken out of her some chests of India goods, thirty jars of butter, with some wax, iron and a hundred bags of rice, he let her go.
