Then suddenly screwing up his little blue eyes, he added: "Why, I remembers yu. Steered yu along o' the young lady in this yer very craft." It was Prawle, Zachary Pearse's henchman. "Yes," he went on, "that's the cutter." "And Captain Pearse?" He leant his back against the quay, and spat. "He was a pra-aper man; I never zane none like 'en." "Did you do any good out there?"
His only companion was a gigantic boatman, by name Harry Hawk, possibly a descendant of the gentleman of that name who went to Widdicombe Fair with Bill Brewer and old Uncle Tom Cobley and all on a certain memorable occasion, and assisted at the fatal accident to Tom Pearse's grey mare. I sat on the seat at the end of the Cob and watched the professor.
"Can't you make more sail, Peters?" was Pearse's reply. Venner laughed softly, agreeably; and the next moment Dolores hailed them. She swam swiftly, with effortless ease, slipping through the sea like a sparkling nymph in her native element. But the schooner traveled fast, and, though she lost no ground, she gained but slowly. She hailed again.
My spare time on the outward voyage was occupied in reading 'Daniel Quorm, one of Mark Guy Pearse's books, and in attending religious meetings in the evening in the sail-maker's room. There were several relief crews on board for the various ships of the station; hence there were many Christians, and these evening gatherings were blessed by God, and made profitable to all.
In the face of each lingered a trace of the subjection they had fallen under; neither could quite so quickly forget the allurements of this woman. Her kisses had been as sweet as her fury had been terrible; and the absence of Craik Tomlin was an additional incentive to memory. "Shall we take her away?" asked Venner, avoiding Pearse's eye as he put the question.
He believed that he was appointed to tread the path that Robert Emmet and Wolfe Tone had trodden before him, and his life was shaped so that it might be worthy of its end." Separation as the only road to independence was the burden of Pearse's teaching.
Everyone who desires to understand Ireland to-day should read Patrick Pearse's posthumous book, called boldly The Story of a Success.
Pearse's notes at this last stage in the long stand for the Empire are interesting reading: February 22. Trivialities are supreme after all. Yesterday we were all more jubilant at the announcement that horse-flesh would not be issued as rations again than on the score of General Buller's signal telling us he had driven the Boers from all their positions across the Tugela.
God be praised for his mercy to myself, and Israel, and all of us! "Yours, ever, E.P." "Be kind to Susan go over, and comfort her; I cannot write to poor Pearse's mother for my life do send her a note; I really cannot. I loved him, poor fellow, and he deserved it. "June 20, 1793." After the action, Mr. Norway requested permission to keep the body of Mr. Pearse for interment by his friends.
Venner's eyes glittered at the prospect; but he could not see the faces of his friends; he could only hear Pearse's low tones beside him, and the mumbled words indicated no great agreement in the scheme.
