Our Muskegon builders he pronounced a pack of cormorants; and the congenial subject, together with my knowledge of architectural terms, the theory of strains, and the prices of materials in the States, formed a strong bond of union between what might have been otherwise an ill-assorted pair, and led my grandfather to pronounce me, with emphasis, "a real intalligent kind of a chield."
I had represented Muskegon as a young, almost a stripling, mother, with something of an Indian type; the babe upon her knees was winged, to indicate our soaring future; and her seat was a medley of sculptured fragments, Greek, Roman, and Gothic, to remind us of the older worlds from which we trace our generation. "Now, does this satisfy you, Mr.
Williams could not endure the smell of fish; they had been cloyed on small game and were surfeited on venison. My sporting ardor sank to zero. I had the decency not to slaughter game for the love of killing, and leave it to rot, or hook large fish that could not be used. I soon grew restless and began to think often about the lumber camp on the Muskegon.
His communication directed Captain Wright to take possession of the Raven, and treat her precisely as though she were the prize of the Muskegon and her consort; and constructively she was concerned in the capture of the vessel, especially in the distribution of the prize-money.
"Well, it's a rough country," apologized Radway, trying, as was his custom, to find excuses for the other party as soon as he was agreed with in his blame, "there's any amount of potholes; and, then, we've had so much snow the ground ain't really froze underneath. It gets pretty soft in some of them swamps. Can't figure on putting up as much in this country as we used to down on the Muskegon."
"I only wonder she has not done so before," added the commander, rejoining the officers of the other steamers. "I believe Captain Wright of the Muskegon outranks Captain Boyden of the St. Croix," he continued. "He does, Captain Passford," replied Mr. Amblen. "If you will excuse me a moment, I will write an order for him;" and Christy retired to his cabin for this purpose.
At the same time something in the stranger's eye engaged me. "My name," said I, "is Loudon Dodd; I am a student of sculpture here from Muskegon." "Of sculpture?" he cried, as though that would have been his last conjecture. "Mine is James Pinkerton; I am delighted to have the pleasure of your acquaintance." "Pinkerton!" it was now my turn to exclaim. "Are you Broken-Stool Pinkerton?"
Thus it was that I came face to face with my third destiny, for my career has been entirely shaped by these three elements my father, the capitol of Muskegon, and my friend Jim Pinkerton. As for the young lady, with whom my mind was at the moment chiefly occupied, I was never to hear more of her from that day forward an excellent example of the Blind Man's Buff that we call life.
At the cost of some debt I managed to excel myself and eclipse the Genius of Muskegon, in a small but highly patriotic "Standard Bearer" for the Salon; whither it was duly admitted, where it stood the proper length of days entirely unremarked, and whence it came back to me as patriotic as before.
For a man in such straits as I now found myself, the hire of a lorry was a consideration; and yet even that I could have faced, if I had had anywhere to drive to after it was hired. From these extremities I was relieved by a seasonable offer, and I parted from the Genius of Muskegon for thirty francs. In a certain cabman's eating-house on the outer boulevard I got credit for my midday meal.
