I never saw a ball travel so in my life. We had sent a caddy out ahead, and he marked the spot where it landed. It was more than twenty-five yards beyond the two-hundred-yard mark, and the ball rolled forty-five yards farther, making a total of two hundred and seventy yards. It was within ten yards of the longest drive ever made by Kirkaldy, our club professional.
Bill caught himself and looked up. "Nothing very important but mighty astonishing at that. We've just walked in a two-hundred-yard circle, up the creek to where we climbed the hill, back along the hill in this direction, and then down. And we haven't crossed that grizzly's tracks anywhere." "Well, what of it?" "Man, this snow has been here for weeks, with very little change.
He teed his ball for the two-hundred-yard flight to the easy tenth, and took his cleek. "I know just what'll happen now; I know it well." But this time there was no varying in the flight; the drive went true to the green, straight on the flag, where a good but not difficult put brought a two. "Even threes again," said Pickings, but to himself. "It can't go on. It must turn."
Do you mean to tell me that a lively, hungry bear is going to stay that long in one place unless he's asleep? Virginia, as sure as you live we or somethin' wakened that bear out of hibernation. And his den is somewhere in that two-hundred-yard circle." "There's probably a cave in the rock," Harold suggested. "And I'm more interested in the cabin and dinner than I am in it."
This set the captains going, and they told sea-stories until they came to the road that led down to the beach beneath the lighthouse bluff. The lifesaving station was in plain sight now, but on the outer beach, and that was separated from them by a two-hundred-yard stretch of water. "Well," observed Captain Eri, "here's where we take Adam's bridge." "Adam's bridge?" queried Elsie, puzzled.
Ever since nightfall and a brisk skirmish had made practicable an undetected escape through the German lines, he had been in the open, alternately creeping toward the British trenches under cover of darkness and resting in deathlike immobility, as he now rested, while pistol-lights and star-shells flamed overhead, flooding the night with ghastly glare and disclosing in pitiless detail that two-hundred-yard ribbon of earth, littered with indescribable abominations, which set apart the combatants.
The two-hundred-yard course was carefully cleared, every obstacle having been scrupulously swept off the asphalte, especially pieces of orange-peel, lettuce leaves and bits of rotten vegetable matter, which might have caused a competitor to slip when trying to break the record for carrying the sack.
We followed about three feet behind the first sentry until we got halfway down the platform, and while he went dreaming on his way to the end of the platform we dropped quietly to the ground. We were running when we struck, and we certainly beat the record in our two-hundred-yard dash to the box-cars, and from there to a small bush another two hundred yards away.
I felt morally certain that Harding could not beat Carter's drive, poor as it was, but I was anxious to show him how a golf ball will fly when properly struck. I fell on that ball for one of the longest and cleanest drives I ever made, and it did not stop rolling until it was twenty yards past the two-hundred-yard post.
