The only bit of information suggesting a possible clew comes from Walter Hanlon, a trainman who told the authorities yesterday that on an afternoon about a week ago his attention was drawn to a child accompanied by two men leaving his train at Catskill Landing. Hanlon's train was northbound. He reported what he had seen as soon as the public alarm was given.
Scotty did the same, then both tilted their boards and slid under. On the northbound leg they had trouble keeping the boards down because of the tendency of the lead rope to pull the front of the boards up, but by crawling far forward, they managed. They were deeper than they had ever gone before, but Rick felt no sensation of fright or strangeness.
There never will be found a better man's country in all the world than that which ran from the Missouri up to the low foothills of the Rockies. The lower cities took their tribute of the northbound cattle for quite a time. Wichita, Coffeyville, and other towns of lower Kansas in turn made bids for prominence as cattle marts.
Inevitably the men of the lower range would seek to reach the railroads with what they had to sell their greatest natural product, cattle on the hoof. This was the primary cause of the great northbound drives already mentioned, the greatest pastoral phenomena in the story of the world. The southern herds at that time had no market at their doors.
Their supper over, they walked to Clark Street and took a northbound car, but after alighting Jimmy walked with the girl to the entrance of her apartment. "I can't thank you enough," he said, "for giving me this evening. It is the only evening I have enjoyed since I struck this town last July." He unlocked the outer door for her and was holding it open. "It is I who ought to thank you," she said.
Fences had not come, nor had farms been staked out. From the South now appeared that tremendous and elemental force most revolutionary of all the great changes we have noted in the swiftly changing West the bringing in of thousands of horned kine along the northbound trails.
It couldn't tear itself away from the setting of this last struggle, from this sea that had devoured one of its own! Ten days went by in this way. It was only on May 1 that the Nautilus openly resumed its northbound course, after raising the Bahamas at the mouth of Old Bahama Channel. We then went with the current of the sea's greatest river, which has its own banks, fish, and temperature.
The pathology sector lay to the north of the city, and Black Doctor Arnquist was the chief pathologist of Hospital Seattle. Dal found a northbound express tube, climbed into an empty capsule, and pressed the buttons for the pathology sector. Presently the capsule was shifted automatically into the pressure tube that would carry him thirty miles north to his destination.
I made a good two hundred and fifty miles at first, taking the northbound through-traffic lane which today the meteorological conditions had placed at an altitude of 6,200 feet. Flying is largely automatic. There was not enough traffic to bother me. The details of leaving the office so hastily had been too engrossing for thought of Alan and Babs.
The northbound caravans carried the peculiar variety of pepper called "grains of paradise" from the region later known as Liberia, gold from the Dahomey district, palm oil from the lower Niger, and ivory and slaves from far and wide. A small quantity of these various goods was distributed in southern Europe and the Levant.
