The gallery was in an uproar, and some of the members were piling down the stairs to the floor. Perspiration stood out all over Murphy's body. His blows failed of their effect, and some of Orde's were landing. At length, bewildered more by the continuance than the violence of the attack, he dropped his ring tactics and closed in to straight slugging, blow against blow, stand up, give and take.
The Spanish ships there refusing to join him, he pressed on, went by Gibraltar on the 8th, and on the 9th anchored off Cadiz, whence he drove away Orde's squadron. The "Aigle," with six Spanish ships, joined at once, and that night the combined force, eighteen ships-of-the-line, sailed for Martinique, where it arrived on the 14th of May.
The company began to break up. Orde pushed his broad shoulders in to screen Carroll Bishop from the others. "Are you staying here?" he asked. She opened her eyes wide at his brusqueness. "I'm visiting Jane," she replied at length, with an affectation of demureness. "Are you going to be here long?" was Orde's next question. "About a month." "I am coming to see you," announced Orde. "Good-night."

The ice went out early, to Orde's satisfaction. As soon as the river ran clear in its lower reaches he took his rear crew in to Carlin's rollways.

"No," Gerald answered his greeting, "I haven't been around much. I've been sticking pretty close home." Little by little, Orde's eager questions drew out the truth of the situation. Mrs.

Tell them there's some fun on." Then he returned to the gymnasium floor, where Murphy was answering Orde's questions as to the apparatus.
"I reckon you'll need the tug," said Marsh. A dozen more of Orde's personal following volunteered. At once his good humour returned; and his easy leisurely confidence in himself. "We've got to close that opening, first thing," said he. "Marsh, tow the pile-driver up there." He caused a heavy line to be run from a tree, situated around the bend down stream, to the stern of the driver.
To her, also, as to most women, the word "business" connoted nothing but a turmoil and a mystery. In all other things they were to each other what they had been from the first. No more children had come to them. Bobby, however; had turned out a sturdy, honest little fellow, with more than a streak of his mother's charm and intuition. His future was the subject of all Orde's plans.
