Far sweeping to the east he sees Down his deep woods the course of Tees, And tracks his wanderings by the steam Of summer vapours from the stream; And ere he pace his destined hour By Brackenbury's dungeon tower, These silver mists shall melt away And dew the woods with glittering spray. Then in broad lustre shall be shown That mighty trench of living stone.
It never had the effect of hoary antiquity which I had expected of a country settled more than two centuries; with its wood-built farms and villages it looked newer than the coal-smoked brick of southern Ohio. I had prefigured the New England landscape bare of forests, relieved here and there with the tees of orchards or plantations; but I found apparently as much woodland as at home.
Perhaps the good Bishop did not personally oversee the rebuilding of Chollerford Bridge: more probably the Wear and Tees do not come down with the angry impetuosity of the Tyne in flood! Clayton's park. This was the largest military station in Northumberland, Corstopitum, which is very much larger, being more of a civil settlement.
Expedients of this kind had long been employed in India and America, where wide rivers were crossed by means of bridges formed of ropes and chains; and even in this country a suspension bridge, though of a very rude kind, had long been in use near Middleton on the Tees, where, by means of two common chains stretched across the river, upon which a footway of boards was laid, the colliers were enabled to pass from their cottages to the colliery on the opposite bank.
While these little things were doing thus, the coast from the mouth of the Tees to that of Humber, and even the inland parts, were in a great stir of talk and work about events impending. It must not be thought that Flamborough, although it was Robin's dwelling-place so far as he had any was the principal scene of his operations, or the stronghold of his enterprise.
At the close of this account, Wallace added, that himself, with his brave band, were going to traverse the English counties to the Tees' mouth; and should Heaven bless his arms, he would send the produce round by the Berwick fleet, to replenish the exhausted stores of the Highlands. "Next year," continued he, "I trust they will have ample harvests of their own."
Whutt be 'baout, smellin' the cream?" "'Tees bad," said Stalky. "Zmell 'un." Incautiously Mary did as she was bid. "Bidevoor kiss." "Niver amiss," said Stalky, taking it without injury. "Yeou yeou yeou " Mary began, bubbling with mirth.
Necessity for thought and ingenuity The long-handicap man's course The scratch player's How good courses are made The necessary land A long nine-hole course better than a short eighteen The preliminary survey A patient study of possibilities Stakes at the holes Removal of natural disadvantages "Penny wise and pound foolish" The selection of teeing grounds A few trial drives The arrangement of long and short holes The best two-shot and three-shot holes Bunkers and where to place them The class of player to cater for The shots to be punished Bunkers down the sides The best putting greens Two tees to each hole Seaside courses.
There used to be a bridle-road from the grounds of Scargate to a ford below the force, and northward thence toward the Tees; or by keeping down stream, and then fording it again, a rider might hit upon the Middleton road, near the rock that warned the public of the blood-hounds.
Instead of keeping on the Durham side of Tees, as he would have done in fair weather for the first six miles or so, Jordas crossed by the old town bridge into his native county. The journey would be longer thus, but easier in some places, and the track more plain to follow, which on a snowy night was everything.
