Wessel halted them with the threat that every man Jack in the fleet should be made to walk the plank, saved the ships, and took their admiral prisoner to his chief.
Whether this gay party of pleasure also carried off any treasures from Cues is not recorded. He had in his possession several manuscripts of Wessel's writings, some of them unpublished; and he had been intimate with men who had known both Wessel and Agricola.
The winner is Heavy-Weight Champion of Hindia, winner of the Motipur Cup and 'older of the Elliott Belt. All ready there?" Both combatants were ready. "Come here, both of you," said the referee. As he arose to obey, Dam was irresistibly reminded of his fight with Bully Harberth and smiled. "Nervous sort o' grin on the figger-'ead o' the smaller wessel, don't it," observed Seaman Smith.
"But," sez the Elder, "the courtesy with which women are treated, the politeness, the deference " "If you wuz kicked out of your meetin' house, Elder Wessel, would it make any difference to you whether the shue you wuz kicked with wuz patent leather or cowhide? The important thing to you would be that you wuz layin' on the ground outside, and the door locked behind you."
"Why?" insisted Kirkwood, nettled but still uncomprehending. "D'you mean to tell me you came off from wherever in 'ell you did come from intendin' to board this wessel and find a party nymed Calendar?" "Certainly I did. Why ?" "Well!" cried Mr.
I'se warrant they'll tak ye in, whether ye be gentle or semple. 'Simple enough, to be wandering here at such a time of night, thought Mannering, who was ignorant of the meaning of the phrase; 'but how shall I get to the PLACE, as you call it? 'Ye maun baud wessel by the end o' the loan, and take tent o' the jaw-hole. 'O, if ye get to eassel and wessel again, I am undone!
"Well, sir," said the man very deliberately, "I should say as a wessel o' that size " "There goes her mainmast!" some one shouted, as a portion of the fire fell off to our left, and lay in the sea. We stood gazing at this part for a few minutes, during which the light faded slowly out, quenched in the waves. Then Jecks began again, speaking very oracularly "I should say as a wessel o' that size "
"You and your brother get your jobs together?" the captain asked. "Mr. Conne, who's in the Secret Service, got me mine," Tom said. "Who did he recommend you to?" asked the detective. Tom hesitated a moment. "To Mr. Wessel, the steward," he said. "Humph! Too bad Mr. Wessel died. You'll both have to go to the guardhouse." Tom saw there was no hope for him.
But remember to write on Troupenas's copy: Hamburg, Schubert; Wessel, London. In a few days I shall send you a letter for Mechetti in Vienna, to whom I promised to give some compositions. If you see Dessauer or Schlesinger, ask if it is absolutely necessary to pay postage for the letters sent to Vienna. I embrace you, adieu. Nohant, Sunday . What you have done you have done well. Strange world!
As regards Troupenas, there is no hurry. If the time of my manuscript is not right, do not deliver the latter, but make a copy of it. Besides this, make a third copy of it for Wessel. It will weary you to copy this nasty thing so often; but I hope I shall not compose anything worse for a long time. I am keeping my mind easy, for I know you are willing and clever.
