Still another leader was "General John Scott," already mentioned, the slave of Mr. Greenhow, hired by Mr. McCrea.
"Howdy," says I, glancin' up at the clock to see if the prospects was good for makin' the 5:17 out to Harbor Hills. "I am told you know the town rather well," suggests McCrea, sort of mild and apologetic. "Me!" says I. "Oh, I can usually find my way back to Broadway even in foggy weather." He indulges in a flickery little smile.
It was five minutes later when the boat returned, bringing the lieutenant commander, Doctor McCrea, the surgeon, and a sailor belonging to the hospital detachment aboard the “Hudson.” Eph conducted them below. “Drugged,” announced the medical officer, after a brief examination. “Humph!” uttered Mr. Mayhew. “That sort of trick isn’t played on folks in any decent resort on shore.
For the heavy booming of cannon rose the "quauk!" of ducks and the cackling of hens. We went to the spot which tradition points out as the place where Jane McCrea met her death. River flowed, and raftsmen sang below; women stood at their washing-tubs, and white-headed children stared at us from above; nor from the unheeding river or the forgetful woods came shriek or cry or faintest wail of pain.
Toomey on the Mogul that pulls the Time Freight over the range " And here Geordie stopped him. "Hear this, Mr. McCrea," said he. "Toomey, of 'E' Troop, fireman on the big freight-engine! He'll surely know where the others are. Now, you know the railway people. You say you've got to stay here a day or two.
It is a recorded fact that, within three weeks after the departure of McCrea and Geordie from West Point for the West, there came an offer to Dr. Graham of something like six times the cost price of his shares, and the offer was declined, with thanks.
"Where did you say they were?" he enquired; but no response came from the bunk. McCrea finished his supper, lit his pipe, and suggested trying to wash the wounded foot. But fearing to start the bleeding again, they decided to leave it till morning. "Where are those traps you spoke of, sir? The moon is beginning to show and I'll be needing to get 'em put out, if we're to have any chance."
"It's coming now," said the doctor, pointing to the telegraph orderly turning away from the steps of his quarters and coming swiftly toward them, brown envelope in hand. Just in front of the hospital gateway he met the party, saluted, and tendered the uppermost of two or three despatches to the doctor. "Freeman, I'm betting," said McCrea, as the doctor tore it open and read.
He, as post quartermaster, had had business dealings with bankers and merchants both in Denver and Chicago. He believed that, reinforced by the presence of Captain Lee from Reno, he could make a certain impression, or else certain threats, that would bring these magnates to time. But Dr. Graham, an older head, thought otherwise, had so instructed Geordie and so endeavored to impress McCrea.
To be living, to be young and enthusiastic, to possess the colossal courage of youth, was enough to bring happiness into my heart again. I'm going to like this place. I'm going to work and play and live in this wonderful city. Mrs. McCrea introduced the "New boarder" and I took my assigned place at a long table in the dining-room.
