"It is most disgraceful, sir, and you must punish the ringleaders at once," he told him. "That will teach the others a lesson." "And who are the ringleaders?" Stubbles asked. "Why, you know, don't you? They are Jake Jukes and Tom Totten; both very dangerous men." "And who put them up to the job?" "Did any one?" "Certainly. It was Jake's hired man; he's the one who did it."
Embarking on her, we got to Stevenson in a few hours, and finding at the post camp equipage that had been made ready for our use in crossing overland to Fort Totten, we set out the following forenoon, taking with us a small escort of infantry, transported in two light wagons, a couple of Mandans and the post interpreter going along as mounted guides.
Midshipman Totten paled, but he answered bravely: "Yes, sir; and at the same time a Naval career means nearly everything in the world to me." Lieutenant-Commander Morrill, the new officer in charge, felt that it was difficult to rebuke a future Naval officer for defending from insult a woman dear to him. "I shall have to pass this matter on to the commandant of midshipmen," decided the O.C. "Mr.
"They'll do worse if they are kept out by guns." "It means wreck and rampage if they are permitted to come through those doors." "Look here, Totten, this State House has stood here for a good many years, with the citizens coming and going in it at will. I don't see any dents!" "This is an exigency, and it's different, sir. The state must assert its authority."
The scare was a bad one, and I have no hesitation in saying that, had we been mounted, it is more than likely that, instead of showing fight, we would have taken up a lively pace for Fort Stevenson. After reciprocal explanations with the officer in charge of the train, the march was resumed, and at the close of that day we camped near a small lake about twenty miles from Fort Totten.
I therefore advise you all to drop your complaint. Yet if you insist on a complaint, then I will see to it that Midshipman Totten is brought to trial." Crane and his associates felt, very quickly and keenly, that they would cut but sorry figures in such a trial. They therefore begged to withdraw their former complaint.
"I've been doing the best I could, with what loyal boys I could depend on. But I want to know now what you're going to do?" "Shoot every damnation thug of 'em who gets in range of our machine-guns. Totten, hustle yourself down-stairs and see that it's done!" "Genera! Totten will not leave this room not now! You're all wrong, Governor."
"Well, you'll keep on the right side of her, if you know which side your bread is buttered," she retorted. "You don't want her goin' to Sam Totten's." Totten was the other lawyer of Elliot. "I think I am quite aware of all the exigencies of the case," Daniel Tuxbury had replied, lapsing into stateliness, as he always did when his sister waxed too forcible in her advice. But when Mrs.
Totten," continued the superintendent, "states that you grossly insulted his cousin, a young woman, and that he met you on purpose to avenge that insult." "There there was some trouble about a young woman," admitted Crane. "But I am a gentleman, sir." "I am not expected to decide the last question that you have raised," replied the superintendent dryly.
My friends are at another hotel. I am not aware that " "I have seen and talked with that charming old man, Mr. Totten," she interrupted. "He has been here for days, and Mr. Dank as well. Do you think that you have been quite fair with me?" He lowered his eyes. "I think I have been most fair to both of us," he replied.
