His presence of mind and his luck had saved his life his luck I say, for had the machine not righted itself at the moment of touching the ground it would have been inevitably wrecked. The spectacle, though terrifying, proved valuable as an education to young Winslow who a few days later was ordered to a test of ascension of two thousand feet. This is his story: I had a narrow escape.
"Say!" gasped Sam Winslow, in admiration; "I shouldn't think you'd want to play poker oh, no! If I had your luck, I'd play poker as a profession. Why, if you drew to a spike, you'd get a railroad! I never saw anything like it." Wat Snell had been losing right along, and he sneered: "There's an old saying, 'A fool for luck, you know." "It applies in this case," laughed Frank.
When the Pilgrim Fathers first concluded to make their journey to the New England coast and sought of the English king a charter, they were asked by the thrifty James, what profit might arise. "Fishing," was the answer. Whereupon, according to the narrative of Edward Winslow, the king replied, "So, God have my soul; 'tis an honest trade; 'twas the apostles' own calling."
It was almost dusk when Mary reached home. While she was passing the billboard at the corner a flare of yellow letters, as if Colour and the Alphabet had united to breed a monster she heard children shouting. A block away, and across the street, coming home from Rolleston's hill where they had been coasting, were Bennet and Gussie Bates, little Emily, Tab Winslow, and Pep.
Jasper A. Winslow, Company "C," who at his own request, through the Surgeon's influence, was ordered there as clerk, took sick at once, and died in a few days. W. Chester Case, Company "H," was doing clerk's duty and proved very efficient at this terrible time.
"Get a cab, Tom," said Garrick turning his back suddenly on them and placing his hand on my shoulder as he edged me toward the hall. "It's too late to pursue that fellow, now. He's slipped through our fingers again confound him!" It took our combined efforts now to take care not only of Violet Winslow but Warrington himself, who was on the verge of collapse after his heroic rescue of her.
As for Winslow Homer, whether in landscape or figure painting, his work was unfailingly pictorial, whatever else it might be. He was a great and original designer, and every canvas of his was completely and definitely composed a quality which at once removes from the category of mere sketches and studies even his slighter and more rapid productions.
"It seemeth to me like a white man's touch in this carving," said Winslow examining the bow. "Here lieth a goodly mat, stained with red and blue in a fair pattern," said Bradford drawing it off the grave, as it now seemed certain to be. "And what is this?" exclaimed Alden raising something which lay beneath the mat.
But the converts were still under the influence of their sagamores, who were hostile to Eliot's schemes, and in 1651 he removed his Indians to Natick, on the Charles River, where they might be free from all heathenish subjection. In the mean time, the intelligence of what was taking place was communicated to Edward Winslow, the agent of the colony in England.
"Babbie has told me what happened to your dinner, and she and I want you to sit right down and have dinner with us. We're expecting you, everything is ready, and we shall yes, we shall be hurt if you don't stay. Shan't we, Babbie?" Barbara nodded vigorously. "Awf'ly," she declared; "'specially Petunia. You will stay, won't you, Mr. Winslow please?" Poor Jed!
