"Then kill this ball; go on kill it.
"There's an excillint rayson for that, sargint laddie," returned Clary. "One of the routes t' th' coast begins exactly opposite th' town, and they must go up-strame to foind it; El Rincon the landing-place is called." "The Corner?" "Yis, Th' Corner. Th' shore binds out there a wee bit."
