I don't care about these splurges myself and I don't suppose you do now." "Thanks, no. I told you this was my last game. As to the splurge, if I had the money I would willingly try it again. So long." When Mellish came in and saw that the game was over he asked where Pony was. "He knew when he had enough, I guess," answered Bert. "He's gone home." "Come in here, Bert.
"No more has my boy." "Well, we'll see." "We'll see! I tell you I've seed for myself. I've seed Billy Paradise spar; and it ain't fighting, it's ruffianing: that's what it is. Ruffianing! Why, my old missis has more science." "Mebbe she has," said Mellish. "But look at the men he's licked that were chock full of science.
McLean's eye seemed to take in every motion in the room and he instantly covered the bartender with one of the pistols as he gave the command. "Drop it," said Mellish. "There must be no shooting. You may go quietly. No one will interfere with you." "You bet your sweet life they won't," said McLean with a laugh. "Gentlemen," continued Mellish, "the house will stand the loss.
"What's the excitement down at the other end of the room? Every one seems congregated there." "Oh," answered Mellish, "it's a boy a stranger who is having the devil's own luck at the start. It will be the ruin of him." "Is he playing high?" "High? I should say so. He's perfectly reckless. He'll be brought up with a sharp turn and will borrow money from me to get out of town.
Three days after the sinking of the Juno, the Mellish, which had escaped in the dark without pursuit from the fleet, after witnessing the successful termination of the action between the two sloops of war, was heading about northwest-by-west for Massachusetts Bay and Boston, with single reefs in her topsails and close hauled on the starboard tack.
The watch on the deck of the transport, diminished by the absence of the boat's crew, were overwhelmed by the rush of armed men, from both sides of the ship, and after a few shots from two or three men on the quarter-deck, some yelling and screaming, and a brief scuffle, in which one man of the Mellish was killed, the ship was mastered.
I suspect it must be a lot of merchantmen and transports, convoyed by two or three men of war. Now is our opportunity, gentlemen," he continued, his eyes sparkling with delight. "They are apparently beating in for Halifax, and probably the Mellish, our transport, will be among them. We will pay them a visit to-night in any event.
"I am when mine is out, and the other fellows keep their drawers locked." Thompson dropped in on Mellish, the keeper of the swell gambling rooms, to consult with him on the article for Saturday's paper. Mellish took a great interest in it, and thought it would do good. He willingly gave Thompson several instances where the vice had led to ruin of promising young men.
I think it highly improbable that Mellish would abandon his professional profits for the barren honour of a right honourable title and a seat at the board. Besides, there is no knowing what the Commission, which is inquiring into all the superior Courts, both original and appellate, may recommend; and I hear of very sweeping suggestions being made.
Mellish gave them every assistance, but nothing was found. As the four men walked back together to the Argus office, McCrasky was very indignant. "We will expose the police to-morrow," he said. "They evidently gave Mellish the tip." "I don't think so," said Thompson. "We will say nothing about it." "You forget yourself, Mr. Thompson. It rests with me to say what shall go on the local page.
