"He is a stevedore with thirty years of the quayside and at the port of Barcelona, where there are German ships with their officers and crews on board." Hillyard was troubled. He drew from his pocket creased letters and read them for the twentieth time with a frowning countenance. "There is so much at stake. Two hundred feluccas two hundred motor-driven feluccas!
But when we speak of going up the Fal to Truro, we are speaking incorrectly; the true Fal turns eastward after passing King Harry's Reach and runs to Ruan Lanihorne; the water on which we pass to the Truro quayside is the Truro River. It has been spoken of by our late Queen, among the many visitors who have admired it.
In some sections of trench one could sometimes even descry black lines, like a dark wall between other walls, and these lines stirred they were the workmen of destruction. A whole region in the north, on higher ground, was a forest flown away, leaving only a stranded bristling of masts, like a quayside.
They had been called back to their country to defend its soil and, unlike the Englishmen drinking themselves fuddled, were intoxicated by a patriotic excitement. "Vive l'Angleterre!" An answer came back from the quayside: "Vive la France!" It was to this shout that we warped away from the jetty and made for the open sea.
I asked. "And will no one come to Hurt through my evasion?" "It is possible," he repeated. "You have to walk but from hence to the Outer Gate and the Quayside. Immediately you have departed, the Body of a poor Christian Slave, of your age and stature, who died this morning at the Arsenal, will be conveyed here, and garnished with your Chains. The Dey will be told that you have died in Prison.
We were never actually discharged from the army but placed on "Z reserve" and were instructed to report any change of address to the authorities. In January I was on the homeward stretch, first to Qassassin by lorry then by train to Alexandria. We assembled at the quayside; "Right, lads," said the sergeant, "pick up your monkeys and parrots and get fell in facing the boat."
At Hull, prepared by wireless, doctors and nurses were waiting for Olive when the vessel reached port late at night. As Matheson hurried with the ambulance along the quayside, a tubby little figure of a man came up to him. "You remember me Martin?" he asked. "I'm covering this story for the Daily Truth." "Come with me," answered Matheson. "I'll give you the information you want presently."
She fancied she could hear his breathing. A wave of languid warmth overtook her, she seemed to lose touch with the ground under her feet; and when she felt him slip his hand under her arm she made no attempt to disengage herself from that grasp which closed upon her limb, insinuating and firm. He conducted her through the dangers of the quayside. Her sight was dim.
James ran along the quay, and taking off his coat as he dashed to the spot, he dived into the water and, seizing the little child by the dress, drew him ashore. The child seemed dead, but when they laid him on the quayside, and moved his arms, his breath began to come and go again and the colour returned to his cheeks. Twice Chalmers had saved others from drowning.
Like myself, he was the son of a Nonconformist minister, and on leaving school he had entered upon a business career as a clerk on the quayside at Newcastle.
