I couldn't. Next time I'll have a cant-hook handy. By jingo, you gimme my pick uh Lefty's crew, Jack, an' I'll bring that cedar out." "Take the Panther 'round," Fyfe replied. "We'll see." Thorsen turned back down the slope. In a minute the thrum of the boat's exhaust arose as she got under way. "Come on in. You'll get cold standing here," Fyfe said to Stella.
"What's the matter with them cars?" asked Albert Thorsen, one of the elder directors, at one of the meetings at which Kaffrath was present and offering his usual protest. "I don't see anything the matter with 'em. I ride in em." Thorsen was a heavy, dusty, tobacco-bestrewn individual of sixty-six, who was a little dull but genial.
A little later Thorsen and Kaempfaert were visited in the same spirit, and agreed in secret fear to sell out, or rather lease at the very advantageous terms Cowperwood offered, providing he could get the others to do likewise. This gave the latter a strong backing of sentiment on the board.
Thorsen was beside himself with grief. "When did you hear that?" he asked. Johnson told him, but for the time being kept the source of his information secret. Thorsen at once hurried to his friend, Solon Kaempfaert, who in turn went to Kaffrath for information. "I have heard something to that effect," was Kaffrath's only comment, "but really I do not know."
"Oh, I don't know," commented Mr. Skinner. "It seems to me we have done pretty well by the North Side. We have done a good deal." Directors Solon Kaempfaert, Albert Thorsen, Isaac White, Anthony Ewer, Arnold C. Benjamin, and Otto Matjes, being solemn gentlemen all, merely sat and stared. The vigorous Kaffrath was not to be so easily repressed, however.
"You're right," replied Thorsen, who was parting with four hundred and eighty shares out of a total of seven hundred and ninety, and seeing them all bounce in value from two hundred to six hundred dollars. "He's an interesting man. I hope he succeeds."
Finally Isaac White stated at one of the meetings that he had been approached with an interesting proposition, which he then and there outlined. He was not sure what to think, he said, but the board might like to consider it. At once Thorsen and Kaempfaert were convinced that all Johnson had suggested was true.
That woman's a runaway," came from the one highest on the ladder. "So I jedge." "She broke qu " "Shut up!" broke in another. "Do you want to advertise it? Get out of the way, there, ye damn fool! Climb up, Thorsen." He spoke like a bucko mate, and his words stirred the bile of Dextry.
Thorsen grasped the dock floor, trying to climb up, but the old miner stamped on his fingers and the sailor loosened his hold with a yell, carrying the under men with him to the beach in his fall. "This way! Follow me!" shouted the mate, making up the bank for the shore end of the wharf. "You'd better pull your freight, miss," Dextry remarked; "they'll be here in a minute." "Yes, yes! Let us go!
"But Thorsen has been fighting. His face was terrible. And I've heard you say he was one of the most peaceable men alive. Is it is Monohan " "We won't discuss Monohan," Fyfe said curtly. "Anyway, there's no danger of him getting hurt." He went into his den and came out with hat and coat on. At the door he paused a moment. "Don't worry," he said kindly. "Nothing's going to happen."
