All these disasters were caused by the masters of the vessels mistaking the south for the north pier, in consequence of having lost sight of Tynemouth light in the blinding showers. Of course many lifeboats were out doing good service on the night to which I have referred, but I pass all that by at present. The next chapter will carry you, good reader, into the midst of a pitched battle.
The Itinerist quotes with gusto the civic proverb that the men of Newcastle pay nothing for the Way, the Word, or the Water, 'for the Ministers of Religion are maintained, the streets paved, and the Conduits kept up at the publick charge. A disagreeable account is given of the brutishness of the people employed in the salt works at Tynemouth.
Lady Tynemouth looked astonished, gazed hard at the paper, then sprang to her feet, pale and agitated. "Jasmine you this sixty thousand pounds!" she cried. "A cheque for sixty thousand pounds Jasmine!" There was a strange brilliance in Jasmine's eyes, a hectic flush on her cheek. "It must not be cashed for forty-eight hours; but after that the money will be there."
Dacre came with a strong contingent from the western Marches, men from Alston Moor, Gilsland, and Eskdale, and also some from Tynemouth and Bamburgh; and Sir Brian Tunstall with Sir William Bulmer led the men of the Bishopric under the banner of St. Cuthbert.
Are you glad to see me?" "I would have seen no one to-day, no one, except you or Rudyard." "Love and duty," said Lady Tynemouth, laughing, yet acutely alive to the something so terribly wrong, of which she had spoken to Ian Stafford. "Why is it my duty to see you, Alice?" asked Jasmine, with the dry glint in her tone which had made her conversation so pleasing to men.
It took four men to get him into his berth and lash him securely down, and in a few minutes he died in a screaming fit of madness. It was promptly arranged that the body should, if possible, be landed in England, and as there was blowing a whole sail breeze from the east, her tail was put to it and then a heated discussion arose as to the proper course to steer for Tynemouth Castle.
He fought, he braved death. The other you remember the Glencader Mine. Your husband and Ian Stafford went down, and Lord Tynemouth was ready to go, but Adrian would not go. Then it was I began to hate him. That was the beginning. What happened had to be. I was to kill him; and I did. It avenged me, and it avenged your husband.
At an engagement a month before, Tynemouth had been blinded by shrapnel, and had been sent to Durban. To the two letters he had written there had come no answer until now; and he felt that this reply would be a plaint against Fate, a rebellion against the future restraint and trial and responsibility which would be put upon the wife, who was so much of the irresponsible world.
There is but little left of Tynemouth Castle, which was built as a protection for the monastery against the attacks of the Danes. It stands in a commanding position on a neighbouring cliff, and is now used as barracks for garrison artillery corps.
"I understand still less." She took from the writing-table her cheque-book, and handed it to him. He looked at it, and read the counterfoil of the cheque she had given to Alice Tynemouth. He was bewildered. "What does this mean?" he asked. "It is for a hospital-ship." "Sixty thousand pounds! Why, it is nearly all you have." "It is two-thirds of what I have." "Why in God's name, why?"
