Nothing of the sort happened. Instead of this the indicator upon the dial pointed to 32 to 33 to 35 meters.... I knocked against the glass with my finger correct the arrow was just pointing toward thirty-six. "Great thunder! what's up?" I cried, and reached for the chart. Everything tallied. Thirty meters were indicated at this spot and our reckoning had been most exact.
Compared with this miniature John Bull, the voice and manners of our common sparrow are gentle and retiring. The English sparrow is a street gamin, our bird a timid rustic. The English robin redbreast is tallied in this country by the bluebird, which was called by the early settlers of New England the blue robin.
A dozen hands busied themselves in applying the torch to the devoted mass howling over it, at every successive burst of flame that went up into the dark atmosphere, a savage yell of triumph that tallied well with the proceeding. "Hurrah!" The scene was one of indescribable confusion. The rioters danced about the blaze like so many frenzied demons.
Four planks, four inches wide at the widest part and of varying lengths and thicknesses, placed on a pile of loose firewood at the head and foot, comprised the bedstead on which I tremulously sat down. His bringing in the rice tallied with my laying the tablecloth in the same place where I had washed my feet the one available spot.
Every fish caught was carefully tallied, the customary method being to cut the tongues, which at the lose of the day's work were counted by the captain, and each man's catch credited. The boys, of whom each schooner carried one or two, marked their fish by cutting off the tails, wherefore these hardy urchins, who generally took the sea at the age of ten, were called "cut-tails."
But the report tallied with my own surmise, for they had used the word "Dover" when they left us for dead in the Wilderness. I dismissed my chaise at the door. "Mr. Manners waits on you, sir, in the drawing-room," said the footman. "Your honour is here sooner than he looked for," he added gratuitously. "Sooner than he looked for?" "Yes, sir.
"Ouah Cunnel," explained the Sergeant, "wuz afeared you'ns 'd try to flank us through the thicket, and sent me down to make a rumpus and hold you back while he fit you in front. But whar's your company?" "We'll come to it soon," said Si. SI CALLED out to the other boys by name to come up and join him. The rebel Sergeant mentally tallied off each name as it was called.
Among his contemporaries there lingered a vague tradition of his having, at a remote period, and in a romantic clime, been wounded in a duel; but this legend no more tallied with what we younger men knew of his character than my mother's assertion that he had once been "a charming little man with nice eyes" corresponded to any possible reconstitution of his dry thwarted physiognomy.
Then he took her by the hand, led her over to the sofa, sat down beside her, and told her of his plans. Her wishes and his tallied exactly. He wanted to get married within four weeks. Very well; she would get married. He found her the same unqualifiedly submissive girl. In her eyes there was an expression of fatal docility; it terrified him.
Patrick Hennessy was sent out of the room while Murtock gave his evidence; but the evidence of the two men tallied in every particular. They were Irishmen, reapers, and were returning from a harvest supper at a farm five miles from St. Cross, upon the previous evening.
