Chamberlain, however, as his friend and prototype, he probably feels that he can afford to smile at the sneers and jeers of those who, not being able to make much way up the political ladder themselves, take their revenge by pelting those who are climbing their way towards the top. Among Mr. Chamberlain's working associates, Mr. Powell Williams has been a sort of "surprise packet."
The cavate lodges near San Francisco mountain in Arizona were visited in 1883 by Col. James Stevenson, of the Bureau of Ethnology, and in 1885 by Maj. J. W. Powell. Major Powell describes a number of groups in the vicinity of Flagstaff.
The portage around Ashley Falls was laborious as we were obliged to climb with everything about fifty feet above the river, but labour is better than disaster, and it was on such points as these that Powell and Thompson always exhibited good sense.
But you shan't drag Joe and Harry into it against their will." "That's the way to talk, Dick," said Powell. "Let us clear out, and take the youngsters with us." By this time Lew Flap had recovered from the flooring received and now he approached Dick once more. "Do you want me to hammer you good, Rover?" he panted. "As I said before, Flapp, I didn't come here to fight, but I can defend myself.
North from the ferry building, and near the foot of Powell Street, is one of the old landmarks of San Francisco, known as Meiggs' Wharf. In the early sixties an old saloon was located on the shore end of this wharf, and connected with it was a museum which contained many quaint curios from other lands, some of them of considerable value.
Without letting the secret be known, that there was gold in the cañon, Buffalo Bill ordered an early start for Last Chance, and it was made by all except Lucas Langley, who remained at his cabin to await Weston's return. Upon nearing Last Chance Buffalo Bill halted the party, to follow on a few hours later, while he rode on with Surgeon Powell and Wallace Weston.
"You need not stay here any longer, Powell," he said. "When shall I return, sir?" The curtain went up. A roll of drums, a chorus of men's voices, somewhat truculent, in the drinking song. "At the end of the performance, of course." But the valet hesitated. "You might require to send some message, sir." Richard stared at the chorus. The opera being performed but this once, economy prevailed.
He had come to relieve young Powell; but seeing him engaged in talk with the "enemy" with one of the "enemies" at least had kept at a distance, which, the poop of the Ferndale being aver seventy feet long, he had no difficulty in doing. Mr. Powell saw him at the head of the ladder leaning on his elbow, melancholy and silent. "Oh! Here you are, sir." "Here I am.
There was the matter of the gilt flagon which Powell said he had taken as a bribe, and the gloves lined with forty pound. Well, he disproved that, and I am glad of it, glad of it," he repeated steadily, looking down at his ring and turning it to catch the light.
Then came into the garden to me young Mr. Powell and Mr. Hooke that I once knew at Cambridge, and I took them in and gave them a bottle of wine, and so parted. Then I called for a dish of fish, which we had for dinner, this being the first day of Lent; and I do intend to try whether I can keep it or no.
