At the funeral the six senior Captains in Quebec were his pall bearers and the mourners were fellow officers of the 49th and Quebec friends of his family well-known names Caldwell, McCord, Stewart, Hale, Mountain, Dunn and Bowen himself. A great crowd was present. "Never," wrote Bowen to Miss Nairne, "was a funeral at Quebec more generally attended."
Of the candidates chosen to play against the varsity Ken knew McCord at first, Raymond at second, Weir at short, Graves at third. He did not know even the names of the others. All of them, except Graves, appeared too young to play in that game. Dreer was first up for the varsity, and Ken shivered all over when the lithe centre-fielder stepped to the left side of the plate.
Just a little tenderfoot scout. You have seen him up here. Alfred McCord is his name. "And when Hervey Willetts found this little scout hot upon the trail, he forgot about the Eagle award, forgot about his near triumph, braved the anger and disappointment of his friends and comrades " The troop of which Hervey was a member arose in a sudden, impetuous burst of cheering, but Mr.
Nmbr Now, Jimmy, you haven't waited two seconds. I know you're anxious to talk to Phoeb, but she isn't home; she's at the cooking club Nmbr Cambridge, do see if you can't get through to Taledo. I've a party here that's in a hurry Nmbr. Bell, I'll call you quick as he comes in his office; I can see his door from my window Nmbr No, Mrs. Bane, the doctor's just gone out to the McCord farm.
They may be rotten scouts, Blakeley, but they're A-1 sports. They're having a pennant made in Catskill. They're going to fly it over the tent. It says Camp McCord." "I don't see how you did all this so soon," I told him; "I wish you'd tell me about the rescue." "Row quicker," he said, "I've got to see my patrol and get some duds and beat it back by the road. They'll understand.
"I guess you don't realize how many times I've been over this hulk, from decks to keelson, with a mallet and a foot-rule." "Or fallen overboard," I shifted, with less assurance. "Like this fellow Björnsen. By the way, McCord ". I stopped there on account of the look in his eyes. He reached out, poured himself a shot, swallowed it, and got up to shuffle about the confined quarters.
One of them telegraphed his father for more stuff and money, I guess. And we're camping out in a nice little grove right near the Hudson. Good fishing and a row across whenever you want an ice cream soda. Ought to appeal to you, hey? You notice I say we? That's us. Camp McCord is the name of the place and " "But how about rescuing Skinny?" I asked him; "how did you get him to Catskill? How about "
Then McCord fouled out to the catcher. Again, in State's inning, they failed to get on base, being unable to hit Ken effectively. So the game progressed, State slowly losing its aggressive playing, and Wayne gaining what its opponents had lost. In the sixth Homans reached his base on an error, stole second, went to third on Raymond's sacrifice, and scored on Reddy's drive to right.
And that McCord had not stowed his topsails. I could make them out, pursed at the mastheads and hanging down as far as the cross-trees, like huge, over-ripe pears. Then I recollected that he had found them so probably had not touched them since; a queer way to leave tops, it seemed to me. I could see also the glowing tip of a cigar floating restlessly along the farther rail. I called: "McCord!
If he's scout enough to be an Eagle Scout, and gives it up, he doesn't even bother to tell anybody. Being willing to give it up is part of winning it, as you might say. "Maybe you people didn't know who you were cheering when you cheered Alfred McCord. But I'll tell you who you were cheering. You were cheering the only Eagle Scout in Temple Camp.
