The young men did so, both being ashamed of having lost control of themselves. But there was no cordiality in the clasp, and Tyke's keen sense divined that something more serious than a trivial happening like the cane incident lay between the two. Tyke had never seen the French motto: "Cherchez la femme," and could not have translated it if he had.
There was a note of trouble in the old man's voice, and Tyke's face expressed some strong emotion. Alert on the instant, Drew rose to obey his employer's summons. Drew was not surprised to find that his employer was not alone. A man whom he now recognized as the agent of the estate controlling the building was seated at one end of the desk and was drumming upon it with his fingers.
He had taken it for granted that it would be easy enough to get a ship to go after the pirate's hoard. Now with Tyke's bald statement confronting him, a host of perplexities sprang up to torment him. Where were they to get the right kind of ship? How could they escape telling the captain of that ship just where they were going and what they were going for?
Lydgate, that he will compare with any preacher in this kingdom, not to speak of this town, which is but a low standard to go by; at least, to my thinking, for I was born and bred at Exeter." "A mother is never partial," said Mr. Farebrother, smiling. "What do you think Tyke's mother says about him?" "Ah, poor creature! what indeed?" said Mrs.
"I mean," he corrected, as he saw the choleric flash in Tyke's eyes, "that's what I do believe." "It's that scoundrel, Ditty, that did it himself," growled Tyke savagely. "He cooked up the whole thing and then shoved it off on Allen. You've seen enough of him since then to know that he's capable of anything." "Yes," admitted the captain, "he's a dirty dog.
I made bold to tread on Bungay's tail too, and you know what a round rating that would ha' cost me once a-day; but he minded the poor tyke's whine no more than a madge howlet whooping down the chimney so the case is beyond me." "Thou shalt tell me the rest within doors, Will. Meanwhile, let this person be ta'en to the buttery, and used with respect. He is a man of art."
To be sure, he would be in the hospital for some time to come, but Winters could go to see him every evening, and get help in his problems. The Bertha Hamilton was to sail at high tide on Thursday morning, and by Wednesday night Drew had sent his baggage on board and had settled the last item that belonged to Tyke's part of the contract. Everything from now on was in the hands of Captain Hamilton.
I didn't think then that the old hulk would be laid up so soon for repairs." Drew expressed his sorrow, as he gripped Tyke's hand affectionately. "How did it happen?" he asked. "Cruising across the street in front of an auto," replied Tyke. "Thought I had cleared it, but guess I hadn't. I saw that one-eyed feller standing there "What one-eyed fellow?" Drew asked, interrupting.
If everything else fails, then we'll turn out every man jack of the crew and go over every inch of the island." To the agonized father, everything that savored of delay seemed intolerable, but he yielded to the wisdom of Tyke's suggestion and once more they started out in their desperate search.
On what was he building his hopes for a share in the profits of the adventure? After all, he was only Tyke's employee. The very time he was spending in unraveling this mystery belonged to Tyke and was paid for by him. He felt again the weight of his chains, and the air castle he had built for Ruth's occupancy suddenly took on the iridescent colors of a bubble.
