Remember I had a year of hell up there to think in, and when I finally got clear away I had two months' solitary chasing of those woods to think in, and then, when I made the coast, I had the trip down with the folks on the boat to listen to. He's scared for his life, and of anything you hope to hand him. But he's more scared for the purpose that made him set up that mill at Sachigo."
He felt that his friend's unstable soul might drive him in almost any direction after the shock it had sustained. No. Speculation was useless. The crude facts were like a brick wall he had to face. Standing's wealth and the great mill at Sachigo were left to his administration with the trusting confidence of a child.
He flung himself into the wide chair which gaped to receive him, and glared at the dark face of his visitor. "What in the hell do I pay you for?" he cried brutally, lapsing, in his anger, into that gutteral Teutonic accent which it was his life's object to avoid. "A wild cat's scheme it was I tell you from the first. You go to this Sachigo with your men.
And you've been talking one of the bunch of decisions we've taken. I mean quitting the Shagaunty. We didn't have your argument, but we had the 'drop. So the decision was taken. We've got to move like hell. Sachigo has our measure, and it's going to be a big fight. How'd you fancy a trip up country? I mean up the Shagaunty?" There was a change in the man's voice and manner as he put his demand.
By this means I could build up an industry which means the wealth of Canada for the Canadians, and establish the paper industry of the world within the heart of our British Empire. So it was Farewell Cove and Sachigo on the coast of Labrador for me. And the locality had nothing to do with the man who guesses I robbed him." It was Bat who was held silent now.
Hellbeam leant back in his chair. His great paunch protruded invitingly and he clasped his hands over it. "Maybe you're right," he said, with an air intended to conciliate. "Anyway you've picked up some pieces and set them together so they make a fancy shape. But it isn't good. No. Here, I think, too. I see another, way from you. Without this fellow Sachigo is nothing. See?
If I'm a judge there's one hell of a scrap comin, and if we're beat it looks like leaving Sachigo a thing forgotten." Bull stood up. He laughed without the least mirth. "It's the Skandinavia," he said decidedly. "War's begun. I'm going right down to that meeting." Bat leapt to his feet. "No," he said. "This is for Skert an' me " "Is it?" Bull brushed his protest aside almost fiercely.
I'm going for that streak myself. Anyway, it's liable to be pleasanter work than lumbering in the booms at Sachigo, and wondering when that feller Bat Harker, was going to locate me through a lumber-jack's outfit. And while I'm up there I mean to learn all I can of this Father Adam. I don't look for much that way.
Nancy smiled delightedly. "You couldn't drive me out of Sachigo till I've peeked into all your secrets down there," she said. Bull leant forward with his arms outspread across the desk. "Great!" he cried. "And," he added, "you shall see them all. The things I can't show you Bat will. And if I'm a judge that old rascal'll be tickled to death handing his dope out to you. But let's get to business."
And the day he succeeds in the great idea all that would have been mine shall be his." As Father Adam finished, he looked into the earnest, wonder-filled eyes of the other. "Well?" he demanded. Bull cleared his throat. "The mill? Where is it?" He demanded. "Sachigo. Farewell Cove." "Sachigo! Why it's " "The greatest groundwood mill in the world."
