"Why don't you throw, Dick?" cried Tom again in an excited yell that was half drowned by Solomon's discordant bray, though it was growing more feeble as the struggles were certainly more weak. All at once Dick started and his eyes grew more clear. It was not at the warning shout of the wheelwright, nor the yell uttered by the other men, but at the action of the sufferer in the bog.
And, judging from this room" he looked about at the well-filled book-shelves "you don't look like one. Quite a library. Harvey Wheelwright! Lord! I might have known. Great stuff, isn't it?" "Do you think so?" "Do I think so! I think it's the damndest spew that ever got into print. But it sells; millions. It's the piety touch does it.
There were a few Boer farmers in the neighbourhood, and gradually a little settlement of whites gathered round our mission station a drunken Scotch blacksmith and wheelwright was about the most interesting character, who, when he was sober, could quote the Scottish poet Burns and the Ingoldsby Legends, then recently published, literally by the page.

Now I am the owner of a large factory, besides being financial adviser to the Czar. I had my name legally changed to Vosky. I was that stable-boy, that wheelwright."
Generally speaking, I fear the timber is bad the rough-gum may be used for knees, and such purposes, and we may have seen wood for the wheelwright and cabinet-maker, specimens of which I have procured, but none for general or household purposes.

Like the former, Wheelwright seemed destined but to fall from one calamity into another, and effort to retrieve his affairs, did but plunge him deeper into the slough of misery.
