"I would rather take my chance on the wreck," continued Mr. Carboy, who still held the painter of the boat. "I think it is moderating a little." "Not much; but do you think we can get off in the whale-boat?" asked Wallbridge. "We may but it is death to stay here ten minutes longer." "That's true; for common tides rise to the foot of the rocks. We can't stand up much longer."
There was an answering roar from a hundred throats and a mob rushed on Wallbridge with the apparent intent of tearing him limb from limb. Wallbridge's offer was snapped up at once, but a few weak-kneed holders of the stock threw small blocks on the market. These were taken up at once, and Decker's brokers were bidding sixty- five.
At the close of the call they had forced it back and one point higher than at the opening. This, however, was but a skirmish of outposts. The fighting began at the call of Crown Diamond. It opened at sixty-three. The first bid was hardly made when with a bellow Wallbridge charged on Decker's broker, filled his bid, and offered a thousand shares at sixty-two.
The "Dairyman's Daughter" was a favorite book with the girls of the school, and young disciples were sometimes heard to say, as Sarah took her seat in the house of God, "Have we not an Elizabeth Wallbridge among us?" She lingered till June, and was often found with her open Bible and several women by her side, whom she was leading to Christ. Her praying companions often had meetings in her room.
"No; there is a beach under the rocks," replied Wallbridge. "I know the place very well. Let her go ahead, and we must take our chances in the surf." "If there is a beach we shall do very well," replied the mate, pulling vigorously at his oar to keep the boat before the wind; for he knew that, if she fell off into the trough of the sea, she would be instantly swamped.
Mebbe some of you 'ud know 'em." "What's his name?" asked Bader. "Wallbridge Johnny Wallbridge." "Why, Harry hold on! you ain't the only Wallbridges there is. What's up?" cried Bader, as the boy half reeled, half clambered from his saddle. "Hold on, Harry!" cried Corporal Kennedy. "Halt there, Wallbridge!" shouted Sergeant Gravely. "Stop that man!" roared Lieutenant Bradley.
"Then you are not a great traveller," added Wallbridge, puffing away at his pipe, as he watched the sun sinking to his rest beyond the western waves. "Bless you! no. I was brought up on a farm in York State. I used to keep school winters till the folks in our town began to think they must have a more dandified chap than I am." "Where did you learn to cook, if you were a schoolmaster?"
The summer, though warm enough, was too short in duration, so that even the few fertile spots could "with difficulty mature a small potato or cabbage." The subject seemed to be constantly in Brown's mind, and he referred to it frequently in public addresses. After the general election of 1857-8 a banquet was given at Belleville to celebrate the return of Mr. Wallbridge for Hastings. Mr.
I worked in an eating-house for a while, cooking; but my health was so bad I wanted to go to a warm climate; so I shipped in this brig for the West Indies. It was warm enough there, but I didn't get any better. I don't think I'm as stout as I was when I left Bangor. I shall not hold out much longer." "O, yes, you will. You may live to be a hundred years old yet," added Wallbridge, rather lightly.
"No," said the little man, mopping the perspiration from his shining head, "quiet as lambs to-day. Their own mothers wouldn't have known the Board from a Sunday-school." I inquired about Omega. "Flat as a pancake," said the little man. "Nothing doing." "What! Is it down?" I exclaimed with some astonishment. "Lord bless you, no!" said Wallbridge, surprised in his turn.
