And I, busy at the oars and looking over my shoulder only occasionally, had not recognized them. Now the recognition was mutual. Miss Colton spoke first. "Why, Victor!" she said, "it is " "What?" asked her companion.
"The yardage of 'The Pot of Gold' and claims 'Eureka' 1 and 2 totalled millions, while the leanest next to 'The Queen of Sheba, yielded a net profit of $700,000." Then the monotony of facts and figures was varied by another illustration showing a miner in hip-boots and a sou'wester blithely handling a giant which threw a ten-inch stream into a sand-bank.
He got ponderously out of the boat and removed a tattered sou'wester to scratch his head with his thumbnail another trick that had survived the adventurous days of the Dogger Bank. The unfamiliar note of anxiety in his father's voice stirred Young Jarge.
One afternoon towards mid-May, a strong yet soft sou'wester gale blew across Weircombe, bringing with it light showers of rain, which, as they fell upon the flowering plants and trees, brought out all the perfume of the spring in such rich waves of sweetness, that, though as yet there were no roses, and the lilac was only just budding out, the whole countryside seemed full of the promised fragrance of the blossoms that were yet to be.

"By the way," he suddenly asked, "have you your sou'wester?" "Yes." "And your Bible?" "Yes. It rests beneath my head every night. I even brought our Tennyson."
"Dinna let oor pairtin' grieve ye!" sang Tam and dropped straight through the clouds into the rain and a dim view of a bedraggled earth. "There's Burley," said Blackie, clad in a long oilskin and a sou'wester as he checked off the home-coming adventurers. "Do you ever notice how his machine always looks lop-sided?
