He kissed her silently, and then in five minutes more they had said farewell to Latham, and were on their way to the schooner. The crew soon knew from him what had happened, and Rua Manu, with his big eyes filled with a wondering pity as he looked at the frail body and white face of Doris lying on the skylight, wore the schooner's head round to the south-west at a sign from Brantley.
Half the port, and all of Portygee Town, crowded nearby wharves and streets to welcome Tunis Latham's schooner; for news of her peril and the way in which help had reached the Seamew had come down from the Head as on the wings of the wind itself. There was one face on the wharf Tunis Latham sought out with grim persistency as the schooner was made fast.
That he did not attain greater success, from a practical point of view, was due to the fact that he was without the level-headedness and the business ability which characterised others of the pioneers. When he was in flight in his Antoinette Latham flew that machine and no other he was a supreme artist. His machine was beautiful, and his handling of it was beautiful.
She must have led a very lonely and repressed life while she was a little girl. Medford Latham did not go to sea, for he had business that kept him on shore. Medford Latham lived long enough to see Randall grow up, walk his own quarter-deck, and marry a maiden from the port who promised to be able to fulfill his hopes of a flourishing houseful of children.
But immediately afterwards he heard the distant report of a heavy gun, followed by a crash near at hand, and a babel of yells. A shot from the British ship had plumped right in the center of Tanna Fort. At the same moment Desmond recognized the figurehead. "'Tis the Tyger!" he said to himself with a smile. "Won't Captain Latham grin when he sees me in this rig!"
"Really," she said, with downcast glance, as the man got into step beside her, "I don't feel that I know you well enough to talk to you at all, Mister Mister " "My name's Tunis Latham. I'm owner and skipper of the schooner Seamew. I live right handy to your uncle and aunt." "Goodness! You don't mean I've got an uncle and aunt down there on the Cape? I never heard of them."
There is hardly a country in Europe in which two or more nations speaking widely different tongues have not become intermixed; and there is hardly a language of Europe of which we have any right to think that its structure affords a just indication of the amount of that intermixture. As Dr. Latham has well said:
She was nice to Orion; the girl could scarcely be otherwise, even to those she disliked, unless some very important matter arose to disturb her, but she did not enjoy the remainder of the evening, and she was glad when Cap'n Ira and Prudence were ready to go home. It was full time, the girl thought. Even then Orion Latham assumed altogether too much authority.
His flight finished the morning. Wind and rain kept competitors out of the air until the evening, when Latham went up, to be followed almost immediately by the Comte de Lambert. The only accident of the day came when Bleriot damaged his propeller in colliding with a haycock.
"You you didn't have many friends where you was stopping?" "No real friends." "Well, there is a difference, I cal'late. No young man, o' course, like Tunis Latham, for instance?" "Now, Ira!" admonished Prudence. But Ida May only laughed. "Nobody half as nice as Captain Latham," she said with honesty.
