But there was a report made, and McCabe bears it out that something was said by another member of the commando. I would submit that Boltman mistook the other member of the commando for Kritzinger. There is no getting over the evidence of McCabe, and he is the person who ought to remember it. As McCabe says, Kritzinger did not arrive until some hours after the boys had been shot.
McCabe, vociferous in welcome, affectionate, whimsical and choleric, trundled over from Stourmouth on a bicycle of phenomenal height. "On the horse without wheels I'm proficient enough," he declared. "Know the anatomy of the darlin' beast as well as I do my own, inside and out. But, be dashed, if the wheels without the horse aren't beyond me quite.
The death of our noted cavalry leader was a great blow to our cause a loss second only to that of Jackson. Captain W. Gordon McCabe writes me: "I was sitting on my horse very near to General Lee, who was talking to my colonel, William Johnson Pegram, when a courier galloped up with the despatch announcing that Stuart had been mortally wounded and was dying.
One of Rodney's principal patrons was a certain Father McCabe, who had begun life by making an ancient abbey ridiculous by adding a modern steeple. He had ruined two parishes by putting up churches so large that his parishioners could not afford to keep them in repair.
"I understand perfectly, sir," said the attorney, courteously; "everything will be attended to; and, Mr. Barton, you will kindly confer with Mr. McCabe, and I will see you in the morning regarding your final decision. Good-night, gentlemen." An hour later, McCabe took his departure.
He hoped his cousin was wrong, but could not feel certain that he was. "Frank, make an excuse for calling Jeff here; he ought to know of this at once." Looking toward the timber, they saw that their friend had just given up his axe to Hardman, who was swinging it a short distance from where Tim McCabe was lustily doing the same.
Harryman experienced an unpleasant feeling of momentary discomfort, but, not being able to locate his ideas clearly, he irritably gave up the attempt to arrive at a solution of this instinctive sensation, mumbling to himself: "This tropical hell is enough to set one crazy." "No news of the fleet, either?" began Colonel McCabe again. "Positively nothing, either by wire or wireless.
"I know," says he. "And really, McCabe, I've never had a hand in anything which has given me so much genuine pleasure. It it's weird, you know. I can't think what's happening to me." "Maybe," says I, "you're sproutin' a soul." Kind of odd the way the Morans and Elisha Porter Bayne coincided.
"I don't think Father McCabe would have done that; he has got me into a great deal of trouble, but you are wronging him. He would not get a ruffian to break into your studio." Rodney and Lucy stood looking at each other, and she had spoken with such conviction that he felt she might be right. "But who else could do it except the priest? No one had any interest in having it done except the priest.
We passed each other at the head of the stairs, and I cluttered down, making as much racket as I could; then at the foot of the stairs I took off my boots and crept upstairs again, more to hear the fellow's voice than anything else, so I could recognize him afterwards." "What did you hear?" inquired Mr. Barton, as McCabe paused to light a cigar which Mr. Sutherland had handed him.
