The words from the scare-column of the paper he held smote his sight: "War Inevitable Transvaal Bristling with Guns and Loaded to the Nozzle with War Stores Milner and Kruger No Nearer a Settlement Sullen and Contemptuous Treatment of British Outlander." ... And so on.
And if war came, if England must do this ugly thing, fulfil her bitter and terrible task, then what about such as this young outlander here, this outcast from home and goodly toil and civilized conditions, this sickly froth of the muddy and dolorous stream of lower England?
"Can't you?" smiled Blount, with large lenience. One of the things the civilization had done for him was to make him good-naturedly tolerant of the crudeness of the outlander. "No, I can't," asserted the Westerner. Then he added: "Of course, I don't know the Eastern young woman even by sight.
I saw your smoke a-curling way back from home, sir, and I've come a-visiting 'long o' you, Mister Outlander." Another sweeping curtsey reduced Truedale to helpless mirth and he fairly shouted, doubling up as he did so. The effect of his outburst upon the young person within was tremendous. She seemed turned to stone.
Kruger; and what he was doing in that dark shed I cannot imagine, but I suppose he was oppressing an Outlander. I was surprised, I must confess, to meet President Kruger in Somersetshire during the war. I had no idea that he was in the neighbourhood. But a yet more arresting surprise awaited me. Mr.

Surprise, then wonder, swayed Truedale. When he reached the wonder stage, thought deserted him. He simply looked and kept on wondering. Through this confusion, words presently reached him. The masquerader within was bowing and scraping comically, and in a low, musical voice said: "How-de, Mister Outlander, sir! How-de?
And the word "dude" was commonly used rather to differentiate an outlander from a native than in an exactly scornful sense. Without a vestige of self-consciousness, Bartley made himself felt as a distinct entity, physically fit and mentally alert. Cheyenne, with his cow-puncher gait and his general happy-go-lucky attitude, furnished a strong contrast to the trim and well-poised Easterner.
Nevertheless, our mysterious visitors are a welcome addition to our weakened crew. I watch them at work. They are strong and willing. Mr. Pike says they are real sailormen, even if he doesn't understand their lingo. His theory is that they are from some small old-country or outlander ship, which, hove to on the opposite tack to the Elsinore, was run down and sunk.
