Livesey's, of keeping me beside him could be carried out as we intended. The doctor had to go to London for a physician to take charge of his practice; the squire was hard at work at Bristol; and I lived on at the Hall under the charge of old Redruth, the gamekeeper, almost a prisoner, but full of sea-dreams and the most charming anticipations of strange islands and adventures.
Thomas Redruth, owner's servant, landsman, shot by the mutineers; James Hawkins, cabin-boy " And at the same time I was wondering over poor Jim Hawkins's fate. A hail on the land side. "Somebody hailing us," said Hunter, who was on guard. "Doctor! squire! captain! Hullo, Hunter, is that you?" came the cries.
Well, well, it always was the trick of my countrymen to make a good thing too common. Better rust to death than be scoured to nothing by this perpetual motion." Watt had a hard time of it in Cornwall during his next stay there, for he had to go again. He arrives at Redruth to find many troubles. Forbes' eduction-pipe is a vile job, he writes, and full of holes.
Then up again until from the top of Bodmin moor we caught fleeting glimpses of the sea on either side of us. On still without pause, through Redruth and Camborne and Hayle. Finally a sight of them at last, as we opened up St. Michael's Bay as we came to Marazion. And here I thought the chase had come to an end. I was mistaken. MY brain reeled as we rushed along the road into Penzance.
Five grown men, and three of them Trelawney, Redruth, and the captain over six feet high, was already more than she was meant to carry. Add to that the powder, pork, and bread-bags. The gunwale was lipping astern. Several times we shipped a little water, and my breeches and the tails of my coat were all soaking wet before we had gone a hundred yards.
Arrow, Hunter, Joyce, the doctor, and the squire, were to occupy these six berths. Now, Redruth and I were to get two of them, and Mr. Arrow and the captain were to sleep on deck in the companion, which had been enlarged on each side till you might almost have called it a round-house.
'You never loved me, says Redruth, wildly, 'or you wouldn't speak to a man who can buy you the ice-cream. 'I hate him, says she.
That leaves twenty years for him to account for, or else be docked. Where did he spend that ten and two fives? I'll give you my idea. Up for bigamy. Say there was the fat blonde in Saint Jo, and the panatela brunette at Skillet Ridge, and the gold tooth down in the Kaw valley. Redruth gets his cases mixed, and they send him up the road.
We put old Redruth in the gallery between the cabin and the forecastle, with three or four loaded muskets and a mattress for protection. Hunter brought the boat round under the stern-port, and Joyce and I set to work loading her with powder tins, muskets, bags of biscuits, kegs of pork, a cask of cognac, and my invaluable medicine chest.
"When he reached home, Alice's mother led him, weeping, to a green mound under a willow tree. 'Her heart was broken when you left, said her mother. 'And what of my rival of Chester McIntosh? asked Mr. Redruth, as he knelt sadly by Alice's grave. 'When he found out, she answered, 'that her heart was yours, he pined away day by day until, at length, he started a furniture store in Grand Rapids.
