The Scarboro carried crew enough to put out six boats at a time and still leave a boatkeeper and cook aboard. The gun forward in the Scarboro's bows, however, was there for a purpose, too, as I found out on the first day we sighted a whale. The man in the crowsnest suddenly hailed the deck, when Mr.
"We're going to make money in the old Scarboro this v'y'ge, Webb," he said. "You'd better stick to the bark. Captain Hi is going to discharge ile here at Punta Arenas and go into the Pacific with clean tanks." And so the skipper told me when I descended to the tiny chart room. There would be a tramp freightship with a half cargo at Punta Arenas, he said, and it had empty tanks aboard.
Scarboro is the nearest railroad station to Snow Camp. What do you think of that?" Before Ruth could reply, the sound of an automobile horn was heard outside, and both girls ran to the door. The Cameron automobile was just coming down the hill from the direction of Cheslow, and in a minute it stopped before the door of the Potter farmhouse. The Red Mill was a grist mill, and Mr.
Of course, the German Government knew all about these activities. On September 4th, Mr. Straus arrived at New York on the Mauretania. He had hardly reached this country when he was called upon the telephone by Mr. Speyer, a friend of many years' standing. Count Bernstorff, the German Ambassador, Mr. Speyer said, was a guest at his country home, Waldheim, at Scarboro, on the Hudson; Mr.
"He was as kind as he could be to me," said Ruth, shaking her head. "I don't think I should ever be afraid of him. His eyes are kind. But the snakes oh! they did frighten me dreadfully." "From what I hear of this young man, 'Lias Hatfield, who is in jail at Scarboro, he is a decent lad and has worked hard for his stepmother.
The Scarboro sailed many a league farther south and toward the Horn before we raised a single whale. We were 40 degrees south then below the de la Plata. I feared that the old bark would not put in at Buenos Ayres and there would be no chance of my returning home by steamship. Not that I was yet tired of my work and the life we led. No, indeed.
Circumstances had made it possible for me to leave the Scarboro, and I was now nearing Buenos Ayres where I had written my mother to cable me money at the American consul's bureau. I had got enough of whaling. Adventure and travel is all right; but I had had a taste of it, and found it to be merely an alias for hard work!
So this boy can thank me for getting him such a ducking," laughed Ruth. "And who is he? Where does he come from?" Ruth showed Mr. Cameron the stencil on the inside of the wallet. "Isn't that funny, Father?" cried Helen. "Right where we are going Scarboro." "If the wallet is his," muttered Mr. Cameron. "What do you mean, sir?" questioned Ruth, quickly.
"Sophy!" said he, in a thrilling whisper, "Sophy, The Author's hair is brindle!" I got up and incontinently left him. And I saw with stern joy how Mrs. Scarboro again seized upon and made him listen to tales of his grandfather, until in desperation he fled to the piano, and played Hungarian music with such effect that even The Author was moved to rapture.
Scarboro resented our presence in Hynds House. She said Hyndsville ought to show us what it thought of the outrage. Under her leadership, Hyndsville showed us. Mrs. Scarboro was a very important person in Hyndsville. She ruled the older and more conservative portion of it, and although the younger set at times rebelled and went its own way, her power was very real.
