When Breault overtook him the law would know, because of the significance of this knot, that he had welcomed the end of the game. Never in the northland had there come a spring more beautiful than this of the year in which McKay and his dog went through the deep wilds to Pashkokogon Lake.
It was Curtis Gordon himself who brought O'Neil the first tidings of this encounter, for, seeing the uselessness of an immediate attempt to overcome Dan's party by force, he determined to make formal protest. He secured a boat, and a few hours later the swift current swept him down to the lower crossing, where McKay put a locomotive at his disposal for the trip to Omar.
But mind, this ship is your home whenever and wherever you like to come on board; and if you want anything you have only to ask for it, d'ye hear?" McKay promised readily to draw upon his uncle when needful, and then, his horse being still at Balaclava, he once more got into the saddle and rode up to camp. The journey prepared him a little for what he found.
At length, in the dead of night, McKay was aroused from fitful sleep by the beating of drums and trumpets sounding the assembly. It was a general alarm. Troops were heard hurrying to their stations from all directions, and in the midst of it all was heard for a moment there had been a lull in the cannonade a sharp, long-sustained sound of musketry fire.
She was a WOMAN. In a year had come this miracle of change, and it frightened him, for such a creature as this that stood before him now Jed Hawkins would never have dared to curse or beat, and he Roger McKay was afraid to gather her back into his arms again.
Wilders and McKay stood at the cabin companion alone absolutely alone with the raging elements, the whistling wind still three parts of a gale, and the cruel, driving sea. "Shall I fetch the captain?" McKay repeated. "No, no! Don't disturb him; no doubt he is right. I will go below again. This is no place for me."
His remonstrances were laughed to scorn, as usual. Not a precaution was taken. Ships trading in these latitudes usually triced up boarding nettings fore and aft to prevent savages from swarming over the bulwarks without warning. Thorn refused to order these nettings put in position. McKay did not think it prudent to go on shore that night.
After travelling for five days through slush and water up to our knees, we arrived at Fort McKay on December 22. Owing to the extreme cold, the prisoner's feet were frost-bitten. I did all I could to relieve him, and purchased some large moccasins to allow more wrappings for his feet. I travelled without accident until the 27th, reaching Weechume Lake.
In the second Legislature of the new State, the first after women were enfranchised, Mrs. Frances W. Munds of Prescott served as Senator and Mrs. Rachel Berry of St. Johns as Representative. The third had in the Lower House Mrs. Rosa McKay of Globe, Mrs. Theodora Marsh of Nogales and Mrs. Pauline O'Neill of Phoenix. The fourth had Mrs. McKay and Mrs. H. H. Westover of Yuma.
Wherefore the amazed tribesmen were set to work, armed with crude wooden shovels, in digging holes under the logs which sheltered them from man, beast, and jungle demon. All along the walls, at intervals marked by McKay and Knowlton, the tunnels were dug.
