"Why not?" said Josh, in a reproachful way. "Misser Mulford'e bess mate dis brig ebber get; and I don't see why Cap'in Spike-want to be rid of him." "Because he's a willian!" returned Jack between his grated teeth. "D'ye know what that means in English, master Josh; and can you and cook here, both of whom have sailed with the man years in and years out, say whether my words be true or not?"
The weakness lasted only for a moment, however, and he became as stoical, in appearance at least, as before. "No," he said; "squaw quit cap'in, now. Warrior go on last path, all alone no want companion. She look at grave, now and den, and be happy." "Happy!" echoed the widow, "what is that, Nick? what is happy, my son? It seems a dream I must have known what it was; but I forget it all now.
"Good mornin', cap'in, good mornin'," said the visitor. "Come in, Mr. Winners. Glad to see you. Hope you are all well!" "Oh, yes, middlin' like," answered the farmer entering the house without the ceremony of removing his hat. A chair was offered, and he sat for a moment with his hands spread out before the fireplace, his hat still on his head.
Plunkitt, the head gardener, came along, trundling a mowing-machine. "Ain't it kind 'er nice," he said, lingering. "When I pass here moonlight nights, it seems like that baby was a-smilin' right up into his mamma's face, an' that there fish-tailed girl was laughin' back at him. Come here some night when there's a moon, Cap'in Selwyn."
All were glad to see Nick, for he was known to have a sure rifle; to be fearless as the turkey-cock; and to possess a sagacity in the woods, that frequently amounted to a species of intuition. "Who lead, cap'in or Injin?" asked the Tuscarora, in his sententious manner. "Och, Nick, ye're a cr'ature!" muttered Mike.
"He, poor fellow, was done for at the first, and a good many of the sailors were likewise done up and made away with, so that, maybees, there was not six left on us. The cap'in and I have stuck to each other through fair and foul, though it's precious little of the former as has blessed our heads, and there be sum few yet remaining at that place I was telling you was so hot."
"This is no place to discuss such questions, chief; nor have we the time. Do you go with us?" Nick nodded an assent, and signed for the other to quit the rocks. The captain hesitated a moment, during which he stood intently studying the scene in the clearing. "What say you, Tuscarora; the serjeant has proposed assaulting that breast-work?" "No good, cap'in.
"Two book alway open before chief; one in sky, t'other on ground. "And what had this book on the ground to do with my son, Wyandotté?" "Tell all about him. Major's trail first seen at mill. No moccasin much boot. Soldier boot like letter say great deal, in few word. First t'ink it cap'in; but it too short. Den know it Major."
Hat done loose hisse'f! Here de hat! Gole lace on de hat Cap'in Ormond sho' is quality gemm'n. Ef he ain't, how come dishyere gole lace on de hat?" "Come, Cato," I remonstrated, "am I dressing for a ball at Augustine, that you stand there pulling my finery about to choose and pick? I tell you to give me a sober suit!"
Party, poor party; cap'in beat 'em, if he fight like ole time." "Well, this is encouraging, Wilhelmina, and Nick seems to be dealing fairly with us." "Now, inquire more about Robert, Hugh" said the wife, in whose maternal heart her children were always uppermost. "You hear, Nick; my wife is desirous of learning something about her son, next."
