Milly cabled her ally in Paris, Madame Catteau, for a new Queen of the Counter, but she did not arrive until their first season was drawing to a close. There were other difficulties, new ones almost every day, but the two partners met them all pluckily, Ernestine with a determined look and a heavy hand; Milly, with smiles and tactful suggestions.
Thompson, who had been at Kanab all the previous winter, and had pluckily made several trips with Thompson into the mountains, and Professor De Motte. They had come in by way of the south end of the Kaibab, and it was on this occasion that the valley on the southern part of the summit was named De Motte Park. Preparations for our descent through the great chasm were immediately begun.
It must not be supposed that our guns were idle all this time. Long Cecil plied pluckily to hit back, and succeeded in frustrating the ambitious efforts of the Boers to draw their guns still nearer. They were rather too close as things were, however, and with the aid of the Maxims we successfully besought the enemy to fling away ambition. To that limited extent we defeated Boer designs.
A few seconds were sufficient to make it quit its hold, and come up choking and barking; but in obedience to the urging on of one of the men, to pluckily renew the attack. A sharp crack from the butt knocked all the remaining courage out of its head, and it turned, howling, to swim back toward its masters. "Here, it's no good, young Darley," yelled one of the men. "You may give up now.
"One lifeboat," says the chief engineer, "which was floating empty in the distance was cleverly manoeuvred to our assistance by the steward, who swam off to her pluckily. Our next endeavour was to release the captain, who was entangled under the boat.
I've always heard that the arms of the sea came pretty near cutting this island in two, along about the middle somewhere. We might have to take a look over on the other side of the island sometime, if we stayed here five or ten years, you know!" The other boys looked sober at this sort of a jest, but pluckily agreed to go on for at least one more day.
"A boy, R. H. Anderson, ten years of age, was trying to swim, but the current took him out of his depth, when he lost presence of mind and began to sink. Jardine pluckily swam to the drowning boy, reached him and held him up as best he could, but the current carried them towards the opposite point, and finally a boat picked them up." ALBERT ERNEST DEACON, Aged 14.
"Why not?" "The enemy's fire is too galling, and it appears to be on the increase." "I fancy they are bringing the ships' broadsides to bear." "Yes, and we are bound to suffer severely. But you, McKay; I see you are wounded. We must try and get you to the rear." "Never mind me," said McKay, pluckily; "I will take my chance and wait my turn." The chance did not come for many hours.
When none as yet, even among her near kinswomen, dares to sally forth from winter-quarters, she pluckily goes to work, shine the sun ever so little. Like the Zebra Halictus, she has two generations a year, one in spring and one in summer; like her, too, she settles by preference in the hard ruts of the country roads.
Mark Mason, the telegraph boy, was a sturdy, honest lad, who pluckily won his way to success by his honest manly efforts under many difficulties.
