We, cook and stewards, will be called on to keep an anchor-watch, if the brig fetches up, as I heard the captain tell the Spanish gentleman he thought she would; and then we can take the boat that's in the water and go and have a hunt for the maty." The two blacks looked at Tier earnestly; then they turned their heads to look at each other.
The explanation was reasonable, clear, and concise what woman could ask for more? Yet there was something beyond it which was out of Miss Thorne's grasp a tantalising something, which would not be allayed. Then she reflected that the Summer was before tier, and, in reality, now that she was off the paper, she had no business with other people's affairs.
This question was put because the functionary of a government in which money was very apt to stick in passing from hand to hand was naturally suspicious, and he found it difficult to believe that Mulford, Jack Tier, and even Biddy, under all the circumstances, had not paid special attention to their own interests.
Balik-Papan, rising tier above tier on the dark hillside, and brilliant with a multitude of flashing lights, looks picturesque as Naples itself, when we steam away in the gathering gloom, and the dazzling illumination, reflected in the tranquil sea, appears a miraculous transfiguration.
The valley lay like the smooth ground of some vast arena prepared for a pageant and back of it rose the silent hills, tier on tier like the seats of a mighty amphitheatre. But the men crouching on those seats were not spectators they were the grimmest actors in the tragedy. For a moment it was a spectacle merely the grandest display of the pageantry of war ever made on a field of death.
At the extreme western end of this long, ragged silhouette rose the massive walls of Fort Taylor, with its double tier of antiquated embrasures; and on the left of it, as the distance lessened and the light increased, I could distinguish the cream-colored front of the Marine Hospital, the slender white shaft of the lighthouse, the red pyramidal roof of the Government Building, and the pale-yellow walls and cupola of the Key West Hotel all interspersed with graceful leaning palms, or thrown into effective relief against dark masses of feathery Australian pine.
Down below, under the dress circle, the lower boxes were buried in utter night. In those on the second tier there was only one stout lady, who was stranded, as it were, on the velvet-covered balustrade in front of her. On the right hand and on the left, between lofty pilasters, the stage boxes, bedraped with long-fringed scalloped hangings, remained untenanted.
But again a voice broke in the speaker was the overseer of the granaries of Seleukus, sitting in the second tier "And do you suppose we do not know what the honor costs us?"
A tier of what looked like bolts of cloth in the moonlight beneath one of the barn windows caught his eye. He stepped over. It was silk silk such as he had seen in the warehouse at Claxton! Instantly there came to Jack a startling suggestion. As quickly he decided to act upon it.
"Sag' mal, Minna..." he began. Mortimer turned on him savagely. "Hold your tongue, No. 13," he cried, "are you mad? What the devil do you mean by it? You know the rules!" By way of reply, "No. 13" broke into a regular frenzy of coughing which left him gasping for breath. "Pardon! I haf' forgot!" he wheezed out between the spasms. The woman went over to Mortimer and put out tier gloved hand.
