I'm going to extend it to the boats as well as the inside. I've got a plan to have Miss Lang take charge of the fishing end, train my men and run her boats for me on a flat rental and salary." McCoy began to show more interest. "Is she in on the deal?" he asked. "I haven't had a chance to talk with her yet. I'm going to see her to-day." McCoy smiled.
It would afford him a good chance to make his proposal while she was getting the fish ready for shipment. Some time after Gregory had left the cannery, Barnes reported he was out of carborundum and McCoy set out at once for Legonia. "They'd be all day sending it up," he said. "I've got to go down anyway and check over some stuff for us at the freight-house so it might as well be now."
Seeing that his advice was futile, McCoy left to put up a few samples while his employer hurried into the office. Gregory turned at once to his desk. As he prepared the quotations for submission to the jobbers, a cheery voice interrupted him in his work. "Welcome home." In the doorway stood Dickie Lang. He jumped hastily to his feet and put out his hands.
Every sail on the mizzenmast vanished in a rush of flame, compelling the two men to crouch and shield their faces. "Now," said McCoy, stealing a glance ahead at the low shore, "four points up, Captain, and let her drive." Shreds and patches of burning rope and canvas were falling about them and upon them.
At ten o'clock next morning a keen, cold air came from the south-east, and two days later the Breckenbridge brought her load of misery into Sydney Cove, and her master reported the escape of Edward Adair, Michael Terry, William O'Day, Patrick O'Day, and Daniel McCoy, and the death by drowning of Mrs. Clinton, who, with her baby in her arms, had jumped overboard on the same night.
I had but a small force of cavalry, which was, at the time of my receipt of General Grant's orders, scouting over about Benton and Columbus. I left my aide, Major McCoy, at Charleston, to communicate with this cavalry and hurry it forward. It overtook me in the night at Athens. On the 2d of December the army moved rapidly north toward Loudon, twenty-six miles distant.
A new vigor fortified him he would find an agent for the Guardian who should excel the Osgood connection as the sun outshines the moon. In one office of perhaps more notoriety than prominence, though Mr. Gunterson knew it not, at that very moment the matter was being discussed. "Well, Jake," said Sternberg, of Sternberg, Bloom, and McCoy, "they've passed it."
It was as if all the players had united to fleece the newcomer, with the bearded desperado leading the attack. At first, Kid Wolf lost, and the gambler called "Blacksnake" McCoy by the other men added to his chip stacks. Then the game seesawed, after which the Texan began to win small bets steadily. But the crisis was coming.
He authorized me to send to the commanding officer at Helena a request to that effect, and, as soon as I reached Memphis, I dispatched my aide, Major McCoy, to Helena, who returned, bringing me a letter from General Frederick Steele, who had just reached Helena with Osterhaus's division, and who was temporarily in command, General Curtis having gone to St. Louis.
McCoy watched the silent figure as he listened to the message; saw his jaws set tighter as he replaced the receiver and faced about. "I'd kind of like to talk this thing over with Blair," McCoy began. "You see " "I just received a telegram from the sanitarium. Mr. Blair died this morning at nine o'clock." McCoy crumpled in his chair and rested his head in his hands.
