You see, if we were intending to only go ashore, they'd expect to see a fire burning somewhere. As it is, they'll be sure to think we've dropped down into the Radway, preferring to risk all sorts of danger from the rocks and snags there, rather than stay here another night." "Makes me think of Napoleon's retreat from Moscow," remarked Nat Smith in the other motorboat.
"You come out at the end of the season with three million and a half of saw logs, which with the four dollars' worth of logging added, are worth twenty-one thousand dollars." "Hold on!" cried Daly, "we paid Radway four dollars; we could have done it ourselves for less." "You could not have done it for one cent less than four-twenty in that country," replied Thorpe, "as any expert will testify."
The lumberman feared the noise of an investigation solely and simply because his firm, like so many others, was engaged at the time in stealing government timber in the upper peninsula. He did not call it stealing; but that was what it amounted to. Thorpe's shot in the air hit full. "I think we can arrange a basis of settlement," he said finally. "Be here to-morrow morning at ten with Radway."
Question, Mr. Chairman!" "Vote! Vote!" "All in favor of trying to go through the old canal that used to connect the Bushkill with the Radway, and cruising up to Cedar Island, camping there for a week or ten days, say 'aye," Paul went on to remark. A thunderous response cheered his heart; for somehow Paul seemed very much set upon following out the scheme he himself had devised.
"Tell you what," said Bobolink, who had followed Paul when he left the tent, as had also the rest of the occupants, "I wouldn't be a bit surprised if that awful explosion shook the shoulder of earth and rock down, that we saw hanging above the mouth of the Radway River where she leaves the lake."
Of course he hadn't done anything of the sort, but the speculation disarmed him, and by the end of the evening he was thoroughly bowled over. So was Sir Jocelyn but in another way. All the time that she had been talking to Radway Gabrielle had kept her eye on him.
Three times the horses had plunged at it, and three times had been brought to a stand, not so much by the drag of the V plow as by the wallowing they themselves had to do in the drift. "No use, break her through, boys," said Radway. So a dozen men hurled their bodies through, making an opening for the horses. "Hi! YUP!" shouted the three teamsters, gathering up their reins.
Evidently his scrutiny advised him that the young man was a force to be reckoned with. "It's like this," said he abruptly, "we contracted last fall with this man Radway to put in five million feet of our timber, delivered to the main drive at the mouth of the Cass Branch. In this he was to act independently except as to the matter of provisions.
Of the acquaintance with Henry Fox, first Baron Holland, we hear nothing in later life; but the name of the greatest of all these Eton contemporaries, that of the elder Pitt, recurs in after years as one of the party at Radway Grange, in Warwickshire, to whom Fielding, after dinner, read aloud the manuscript of Tom Jones.
Thorpe wrote to Shearer and Radway, whom he had retained, that he would arrive on Saturday noon, and suggested that the two begin to look about for men. Friday, himself, Wallace Carpenter, Elizabeth Carpenter, Morton, Helen Thorpe, and Hilda Farrand boarded the north-bound train. The train of the South Shore Railroad shot its way across the broad reaches of the northern peninsula.
