Even after that some of the red life slips out there under the trees. By and by a calmer mood asserts itself, and out of the darkness a second petition comes. It tells of the tide's turning, and the victory full and complete. A changed, petition this!
I was out here abalone-hunting, and I guess one of these big rocks must have been poised just right to topple over. Anyhow, in climbing down here I managed to topple it. It didn't fall on me, but it fell against the other rocks so that there isn't room for me to crawl out of here! I can't make the rock budge, now. And the tide's coming! I thought I'd drown, away out here, alone.
Tide's due at eleven, and it's going to rain, so I left him, and come in for some men. Henderson's just about crazy! They lost a boy in that tide-marsh a while back." "It's too awful, it's just murder to let 'em go there!" said Mary Bell, heart-sick. For no dragon of old ever claimed his prey more regularly than did the terrible pools and quicksands of the great marsh. Mrs. Bates was practical.
All calm, all in order not a ship of all those ships displaying riding lights to transgress the harbor lines he had decreed. How, then, should his own house not be in order? But this was just what he had thought when Caddie Sills first darted the affliction of love into his bosom. Somewhere beyond the harbor mouth were the whispers of the tide's unrest, never to be quite shut out.
And it's only low tide and half-ebb that lets you ashore here at all." "How about your boat?" "She's riding to a line. Tide's running up that way, but I'd better be off."
"We can't pass her it's no use, by , the other's our only chance the tide's well in there'll be no danger." "Try it, then!" was the captain's reply; "we'll be taken anyhow if we don't, and, by , I'd rather go to pieces on a reef than be taken by this bloody so-and-so." The blasphemous dialogue ended, and the mate hurried off to give some directions to the crew.
I tracks un down though to where they comes in a boat and the boat goes again," Andy explained. "The tracks were a day old, and down by the water the tide's been in and washed un away. Whoever 'twere makes un were beyond findin' whatever. They were goin' away, I'm thinkin', right after they shoots Lem and takes his silver." "Did you tell Doctor Joe about the tracks?" asked David.
Poor thing, her sad eyes had wandered from the approaching boat and were resting wistfully on the horizon beyond. "Nell," murmured the coxswain in a deep, earnest whisper to his wife, who stood at his elbow, "the tide's a-goin' to rise again wi' poor Peggy, if my eyes are tellin' truth." "What d'ee mean, Bob?" asked Nellie, with a quick, anxious look.
Having got in touch with the fish, and finding that the hook still held, John now reeled in all the slack and settled down to a workman-like fighting of the fish, the others standing near him and volunteering suggestions now and then, of course. "The tide's coming in all the time," said John.
"I slipped on a stone, and I think I must have sprained my ankle. It hurts dreadfully when I lean any weight upon it. Let me have your arm, Patty." "Don't you see how fast the tide's rising?" said Patty, giving the asked-for assistance. "If we're not very quick we shall be surrounded." "Why, so we shall!" exclaimed Vera. "I didn't notice it before. Come along at once. We must run."
