One of their party, however, had been taken there. When Johann heard the good result of his message, he summoned all his followers to another meeting at the ducal fish-house, gave them each money, and swore them to fidelity; then bid them disperse, and slip singly to the band, to avoid observation, and he would himself meet them in the forest next day.
Two more French Canadians came running down from the Murray fish-house, where they had been enjoying a siesta. They fished in the Murray boat. A good deal of friendly rivalry as to catch went on between the two boats, while Leon and Mosey Louis were bitter enemies on their own personal account. "Think you'll try it, Frank?" shouted Mr. Murray. "Well, not this afternoon," was the answer.
"I suppose I might have let it for a fish-house, but it's most too far from the shore to be handy and well there are some things here that I set a good deal by." "Isn't that a sword-fish's sword in that piece of wood?"
"I don't know. Nobody seems to know who he is about Herringport. He was living in an old fish-house down on the Point when we came here last week with the full strength of the company. And I have made use of the old fellow in your 'Seaside Idyl'. "He seems to be a queer duck. But he has some idea of the art of acting, it seems. Director Jim Hooley is delighted with him.
And then we ran up to the fish-house and waited awhile, though we stood in the doorway watching the lightning, and there were so many leaks in the roof that we might almost as well have been out of doors. It was one of Danny's quietest days, and he silently beheaded hake, only winking at us once very gravely at something our other companion said.
Well, I'm sorry; ye've treated me first-rate; the Lord bless ye!" and then was so much mortified at the way he had said farewell that he turned and fled round the corner of the fish-house. Captain Sands Old Captain Sands was one of the most prominent citizens of Deephaven, and a very good friend of Kate's and mine. We often met him, and grew much interested in him before we knew him well.
Those who pursue this last laborious calling are always lazy to the eye, for they are on shore only in lazy moments. They work by night or at early dawn, and by day they perhaps lie about on the rocks, or sit upon one heel beside a fish-house door.
Then appeared the long swampy shores, lying dim and low, with here and there a miserable fish-house, the sole trace of human habitation. At sundown the fleet was within ten miles of Roanoke Island.
Peleg Wherren's fish-house was a neighbor of the lane, and from the boat the party passed to Aunt Stanshy's. As Charlie went along, he noticed a woman in the lane. She wore a rusty black hood, a faded red shawl, and an old calico dress. Her general look was that of poverty. She turned as she heard the sound of steps, and, turning, chanced to face Aunt Stanshy.
"Lizzie's there she'll hold 'em back till I come," he gasped, as he passed Fish Rock. "Oh, Lord! what a fool! I ain't goin' to have them trees murdered;" and he set his teeth hard, and rowed with all his might. Joe Banks looked out of the little four-paned fish-house window, and saw the dory coming, and hurried to the door.
