I at once set to work to cast the worthy medico adrift, my father at the same time performing a like office for those nearest him; and, having released the doctor, I then hurried out on deck to see how matters were progressing. I encountered the coxswain and several of the gig's crew on the quarter- deck.
"There's a magnolious medico ahead here on the pass," Pinky Parrott interrupted. "A young thing, but they say he's a graduate of Harvard. He's out here because he has some timber-claims. Look, Milt o' the Daggett, why don't you drive Miss Boltwood's 'bus make better time, and hustle the old gent up to the doc, and I'll come on behind with your machine." "Why," Claire fretted, "I hate "
As Dick had foretold, he fell asleep immediately after swallowing the draught which the young medico had administered, had awakened, feeling absolutely well, just in time to rise and dress for dinner, had partaken of a very hearty meal, and thereafter had made his way up on the poop to gaze upon the stirring spectacle of the ship battling with and gallantly holding her own against the raging wind and sea and possibly also to revel in his new- found immunity from the horrors of mal de mer.
The survivors were tended all that day with the utmost care by our worthy medico, and toward evening he was enabled to announce the gratifying intelligence that he hoped to save them all. The next day they were very much better; and on the day following one of them the man whom we had seen rise up in the boat was strong enough to tell us his story.
Charteris rather thought he would. He waited for half an hour, and then, as the absent medico did not appear to be coming, took two books from the shelf, wrote a succinct note explaining what he had done, and why he had done it, hoping the doctor would not mind, and went out with his literary trophies into the High Street again. The time was now close on five o'clock.
Before many hours had passed he was wrestling with the incident anew; and a true son of that nation which, for all its level-headedness, spends its best strength in fighting shadows, he felt a great deal angrier in retrospect than he had done at the moment. It was not alone the fact of him having got his conge no medico was safe from THAT punch below the belt. His bitterness was aimed at himself.
This proved to be a doe, and on examining her pouch a foetus was found in it, perfectly detached as usual, and about three inches and a half long. A "medico" who was of our party, did not neglect this opportunity for research. With a view to the investigation of the subject at leisure, he dropped the foetus into his glove for conveyance home.
So soon as the medico saw him, he bled him, and after prescribing a lot of effervescing draughts, and various febrifuge mixtures, he left a large blister with the old brown landlady, to be applied over his stomach if the wavering and flightiness did not leave him before morning.
Why, you must have been pretty well frightened on the island there. "Never so much frightened in my life, Don Ricardo; that English captain is a most tempestuous man but all has ended well; and after having seen you to the crossing, I will bid you good by." "Poo nonsense." "Come along here is the English Medico, your brother Esculapius; so, come along, you can return in the morning."
George had no difficulty in deciding that he was on board one of his Majesty's frigates, and that the persons who stood beside him were her captain and the medico. "Hoo's a' wi' ye the noo, my mon?" repeated the doctor, placing his fingers upon George's pulse. "I I scarcely know," stammered George drowsily. "I feel all right and very comfortable. Is anything the matter? And and where am I?"
