"Oh, never fear, my old fellow; I should think that we seven Englishmen could keep a dozen or more Frenchmen in order," answered McAllister, with a somewhat scornful laugh. "If we go into action, we will clap them under hatches, and they will be quiet enough, depend on that."
McAllister, won't you take Miss Menzies in to have some supper? You know her, I think a compatriot, isn't she? You will find her close to the tent. And you," she pursued, turning to Rainham, "you must take some one in, you know. Will you come this way, please, and I will introduce you to somebody.
They marched ten miles to storm Fort McAllister. And how the cheers broke from them when the pop pop pop of the skirmish line began after we came in sight of Savannah! No man who has seen but not shared their life may talk of personal hardship. We arrived at this pretty little town yesterday, so effecting a junction with Schofield, who got in with the 3d Corps the day before.
I had not seen McAllister laugh since we had lost the prize. He now gave way to a hearty peal, exclaiming, "Ha! ha! ha! I'll make the French lieutenant sing out `Coopity! coopity! coopity! before the world is many years older." I need not describe all that occurred in the boat.
Judge Shattuck, startled, glanced out of the window and conferred with Hall McAllister. "I withdraw my petition," he said hurriedly. The case went on. Witnesses who were present when the prisoners were identified by Jansen gave their testimony.
Leaving our horses behind the stacks of rice-straw, we all got on the roof of a shed attached to the mill, wherefrom I could communicate with the signal-officer above, and at the same time look out toward Ossabaw Sound, and across the Ogeechee River at Fort McAllister.
The handling of cattle had been entrusted fully to her husband. In the days of "King" McAllister, Santa had been his secretary and helper; and she had continued her work with wisdom and profit. But before she could reply, the prince-consort spake up with calm decision: "You drive that bunch to Zimmerman and Nesbit's pens. I spoke to Zimmerman about it some time ago."
Don't let us anticipate evil." Lieutenant Preville inquired what we were talking about. We told him. He shrugged his shoulders. "Patience; the fortune of war; we seamen must always be subject to such reverses," he remarked. "The Frenchman takes things easily," observed McAllister. "I wish that I could do so." I had never before pictured to myself what a West India hurricane really was.
"I believe they understand how to manufacture the mariner's compass in Scotland I am writing to my Edinburgh agent for them." "Oh! ah well, it did not occur to me. Now you mention it, I think I have heard that the Scotch have sort of scientific tendencies." "Yes, they are `feelosophically' inclined, as our friend McAllister would say. But what did you want, my love?"
A cheer burst from our throats. It would have been more hearty if we had thought she had been armed. We showed our colours in return. On we stood, firing a shot wide of her as a signal for her to heave-to. She obeyed, and we heaving-to near her, McAllister, with Spellman and a boat's crew, was sent to take possession. The boat was sent back with several of the French crew.
