No pay-clerk lost his salary, though his labour was diminished by one-fifth; no check-clerk was dismissed, though there were twenty per cent. fewer to check; no steward or under-steward was displaced. Such are specimens of the accounts from nearly every part of the country. Threatening meetings of the disemployed began to be held.
"The pay-clerk wouldn't take it, because he said it would mix up his accounts. I'm glad to pay you back, but this doesn't cancel the debt." "It wasn't a big risk. I thought you looked played out." "I was played out and hungry. In fact, it took me five minutes to make up my mind whether I'd pay the agent who gave me your address his fee, because it meant going without a meal." Fuller nodded.
The pay-clerk stopped the engine at every gang, and the men came forward for their money. All had the same well-nourished sturdy look, and all seemed well satisfied with their wages. They conversed in Irish, but they mostly understood English, even if they could not speak it themselves. Whole villages were there seemingly of the same name, and strange were the distinctive appellations.
Next day I went down sixteen miles of line to a spot about a mile from Oughterard. It was pay-day, and I clung to the engine along with the engineer, Mr. Wood, and a pay-clerk, armed with several yards of pay-sheet, and a couple of black tin cash-boxes.
Mullan and the pay-clerk picked up Feeny after he was stunned and they rushed him back through here, where the paymaster had dragged himself, to where you found him. That that's the paymaster you've got there.
The representative of the Board of Works, when asked to explain why it was that a fortnight's wages was due to M'Kennedy, said, that the money was sent to the wrong pay-clerk. It had really come, but through some mistake, had been sent to Mr. Notter, and was by him expended in payment of his own district, when it should have been paid on the Caharagh line.
"You can check it and afterwards hand the pay-clerk a formal bill, brought up to date, but you'll notice I have charged you with a quantity of cement that's missing from our store. Your engagement with Mr. Fuller ends to-day." Oliva spread out his hands with a dramatic gesture. "Señores, this is a scandal, a grand injustice! You understand it will ruin me? It is impossible that I submit."
Then he went out and the storekeeper asked Stuyvesant: "What are you going to do with me?" "Fire you right now. Go along to the pay-clerk and give him your time. I don't know if that's all we ought to do; but we'll be satisfied if you and your partner get off this camp." "I'll quit," said the storekeeper, who turned to Dick.
A warrant boatswain, gunner, or machinist of four years' standing and still under thirty-five years of age may take an examination for ensign. Twelve warrant-officers may be made ensigns annually. If they pass, they thereafter go on up exactly as any Annapolis graduate. A warrant pay-clerk may go up to be junior paymaster, where he will rank with an ensign.
"I'll give you eight dollars now and the balance when I come back." "No sir!" replied the other firmly. "You might fix up to stay there." "Will an order on the railroad pay-clerk satisfy you?" "It won't. If you want the horse, you must put the money down." "Then I can't make the deal."
