Helen's eyes were shining with interest. "Now," continued Darrow, "having tried out his new power to the limit, our friend would begin to use it only as he needed it. There is now no reason to empty the water-pot entirely. All he wanted to do this morning was to scare McCarthy, and impress the public. He did that in thirty-eight minutes.
To make a long story short, I will say that Phin McCarthy's discharge was soon obtained, and Norah McCarthy returned to Bantry, by the public car, loaded with presents from the generous friends her beauty and brave devotion had made.
"So he wants you to go to Europe?" "Wants me? Orders me! Says I got to." McCarthy laughed. "Lovely thought!" He puffed out a cloud of smoke. "Says if I don't obey orders he'll send me a 'sign' to convince me!" went on the boss. "He's got a mean voice. He ought to have a tag hung on him and get carried to the morgue. He give me the shivers, like a dead man.
"Let go and haul!" was the next word of command; upon which the weather fore-braces were let go and those to leeward hauled in by the men forward under the personal supervision of Mr McCarthy, after which the men boarded the fore-tack and hauled down the jib-sheet, clapping a tackle on it as it blew fresh; and the Nancy Bell, braced round on the starboard tack and with the wind a little more aft than when she was running eastwards just now, stood towards the boat that Kate had been the first to perceive, drifting a bout upon the wild ocean so far away from land.
"No, your operator didn't leak. Who is he?" "If he didn't leak, what did you say that for?" "I'm a good guesser," replied Darrow enigmatically. "They say anything about a 'sign' being sent, and such talk?" "You've been gettin' the dope yourself out of the air," returned McCarthy sullenly.
"I'll tell you when I'm sure whether I can do anything for you in this matter." "If this fellow didn't leak, how did you know about them wireless?" demanded McCarthy again. "How do you know who's doin' this?" Darrow smiled. "The man who can control the juice as this man has is a scientific expert with a full scientific equipment.
Enraged at the death of their scout, the Indians made a final charge, which was repulsed, like the others, and after this Bill McCarthy took the lead, with Frank at the rear, to prevent further straggling of the forces. It was a haggard-faced band that came up to Fort Kearny with the dawn.
"I think that I see my way to clearing James McCarthy," said Holmes. "Have you an order to see him in prison?" "Yes, but only for you and me." "Then I shall reconsider my resolution about going out. We have still time to take a train to Hereford and see him to-night?" "Ample." "Then let us do so. Watson, I fear that you will find it very slow, but I shall only be away a couple of hours."
"It's a good one, whether it is a main road or not." They moved on down the side road, and, gaining confidence as they progressed, Jane McCarthy let out a notch at a time until she was traveling at a fairly high rate of speed.
By Jove, isn't she walking along the beauty, crippled as she is just as if she knew the peril she was in!" "Better not holler till yer out of the wood," observed Mr McCarthy; "as for myself, I wish it was mornin' agin, sure!"
