Two days later Burns, starting toward home in the Imp at a late hour in the morning, passed a figure on a corner of a city street waiting for the outward-bound trolley. He slowed down beside it. "May I take you home?" he asked, cap in hand, and interest showing in eyes which a moment before had been heavy with fatigue. Ellen Lessing looked up.
This was done; and the women and children were shipped off to Charleston on the 30th, and transferred to the steamer Marion, which left for New York on the 3d of February. As they passed the fort outward-bound, the men gave them repeated cheers as a farewell, and displayed much feeling; for they thought it very probable they might not meet them again for a long period, if ever.
After a moment, good humor returned to his face. He said; "You've just won an argument. I also am dry as a bone." "This isn't the last ride together," said Lucy, "but almost. This time we are really going." We had turned into Lovers' Lane, outward-bound, the ponies walking. "John will have to be in New York for many days about this Russian contract, and he doesn't want to take the long trip back.
Captain Frankland was anxious to take every advantage of the favourable wind, that we might get a good distance from the land, and thus not run the chance of being driven back again, and be compelled, as is often the case with outward-bound ships, to take shelter in that magnificent harbour Milford Haven, or in the still more lovely one of Queenstown, on the Irish coast.
I was seated on the verandah of the Grand Oriental Hotel which was crowded with French passengers from an outward-bound Messageries boat which had arrived that morning. A snake-charmer was showing off his tricks and reaping a rich harvest. The juggler went round with his collecting bowl, leaving his performing cobras in their basket.
As the German steamer in which I was going to New York did not start until next day, I put up for the night at Radley's that haven of shore- comfort to the Red-Sea-roasted, Biscay-tossed, sea-sickened Indian warriors returning home by the P and O vessels where, you may be sure, I met with every attention that my constitution required in the way of rest and refreshment; and, at midday on the morrow, embarking on board the stately Herzog von Gottingen, I passed through the Needles, outward-bound across the Atlantic to the "New World" of promise!
What he read from the writing on the snow was this: Some one had come and some one had gone. But the one who had come was not the one who had gone. An Indian had made the first tracks. He could tell it by the shape of the webs and by the way the traveler had toed in. The outward-bound trail was different.
He has built a number also to carry on board ships, and very useful they have proved on many occasions. Ships from distant parts often bring up in the Roads to wait for orders; others, outward-bound, come here to receive some of their passengers.
When you got near me, I saw that you were outward-bound; and the thought that she might have to go many a month and not hear of me, served more than anything else to upset me. My strength gave way, and I went off in a faint, as you saw, in the bottom of the boat." He then told the captain that his name was Walter Stenning.
"But we may obtain provisions from the ship sufficient to last us for a week, or more, perhaps," observed La Motte; "she is evidently outward-bound, and many a long day may pass before we get back to England." "Better that than being swamped or dying by inches," was the answer.
