The great Samuel commented upon the fact at length, and advanced the ingenious explanation that, as the harbor was so difficult of entry, the ships could beat in only when the wind was in a certain quarter, and that quarter was the nor'east. Hinc illæ lacrimæ! How often the wind got into the northeast without bringing a ship or colds he apparently did not speculate.
Blair's place is only about three miles from here nor'east they're on the long-distance 'phone. Doctor Cox of Cow Run's the coroner for this district. If I can get hold of him I'll get him to come out right-away and I'll notify Slavin." Catching up his horse he swung into the saddle. "I'll be back here on the jump.
Talboys was to be skipper of the boat. Ah! well." "Well, let them sail, David. It is not your business." "That it is not, Eve nobody's less than mine. "Eve, there is plenty of wind blowing up from the nor'east." "Is there? I am afraid that will bring your ship down quick." "Yes; but it is not that. I am afraid that lubber won't think of looking to windward."
There would I sit night after night, watching the phosphorescent waves rippling against the vessel, gleaming fitful in the gloom; there observe the steadfast stars, and seem alone with darkness and with God. One wet morning, pacing the slippery deck, the sailing master called to me: "See, sir, yonder dim outline to the nor'east? 'Tis the Norman coast; this night, God willing, we sleep in Dieppe."
The Susquehanna was slowly turning around in obedience to her wheel, as if reluctant to abandon forever a search in which humanity at large was interested, when the look-out man, stationed in the forecastle, suddenly sang out: "A buoy to the nor'east, not far from shore!" All telescopes were instantly turned in the direction indicated.

But Jean is now wandering somewhere in the wilderness, in great need, and with no one to help her. Why should I not go to her first of all? I can live without the King, but not without Jean. The more he thought, the fiercer became the battle. Night had closed around him, and the steadily increasing nor'east wind sang the prelude of a coming storm.
It was quite dark, and mortal cold; the road was frozen hard and the nor'east wind swept over it without a break from wall or hedge-row. We all four trotted for a little to get up our circulation and then settled down to a fast five-mile-an-hour walk. About half the distance had been covered when I first heard a little sound ahead.
