There was no other fowle all along that coast, which was all covered with Ice & snow. At length wee arrived opposite unto our habitation, which was the other side of the River, not knowing how to get over, being cover'd with Ice; but 4 of our men ventur'd in a Boat to come unto us. They had like to have ben staved by the Ice.
This lande lay stretching it selfe to the West, which after wee found to bee but an Island of twentie miles long, and not above sixe miles broade. This Island had many goodly woodes full of Deere, Conies, Hares, and Fowle, euen in the middest of Summer in incredible abundance.
The Sarmatians. The Quadi Picts and Saxons. Austorians. This shall suffice to be said, that in this season the Picts diuided into two nations Dicalidones, and Victuriones, and in like maner the Attacotti a right warlike nation, and the Scots wandering here and there, made fowle woorke in places where they came.
"Sit there!" he said authoritatively, and they sat there, Carshaw trying to take an interest in a "drunk" who was brought in, and Fowle alternately feeling the sore lump at the back of his head and the sorer cartilage of his nose. After waiting half an hour Carshaw protested, but the sergeant assured him that "a man from the Bureau" was en route and would appear presently. At last Clancy came in.
"This must be inquired into. What's your name?" "No matter. I make no charge." Fowle was turning away, but the policeman grabbed him. "You come with me to the station-house," he said determinedly. "An' you, too," he added jerking his head at Carshaw. "Have you gone crazy with the heat?" inquired Carshaw.
Our fleetes, he tells me, have been in sight one of another, and most unhappily by fowle weather were parted, to our great losse, as in reason they do conclude; the Dutch being come out only to make a shew, and please their people; but in very bad condition as to stores; victuals, and men. They are at Bullen; and our fleete come to St. Ellen's.
He had been vouchsafed one expressive look by Winifred as she hurried away, and he watched the slim figure darting up half a dozen steps to a small brown-stone house, and opening the door with a latch-key. Oddly enough, the policeman's attention was drawn by the girl's movements. His air changed instantly. "H'lo," he said, evidently picking on Fowle as the doubtful one of these two.
Like every other girl, she had pictured the Prince Charming who would come into her life some day. But Fowle! Her gorge rose. "How dare you follow me here and say such vile things?" she cried hysterically. "What's up now?" said Fowle in mock surprise. "What have I said that you should fly off the trolley in that way?"
There was a poole where weare a good store of bustards. I began to creepe though I might come neare. Thought to be in Canada, where the fowle is scared away; but the poore creatures, seeing me flatt uppon the ground, thought I was a beast as well as they, so they come neare me, whisling like gosslings, thinking to frighten me. The whistling that I made them heare was another musick then theirs.
You're tossing against luck with an eagle on both sides of the quarter." Fowle hesitated. The other suppressed a smile. He knew his man. "Don't decide in a minute," he said seriously. "But, once settled, there must be no shirking. Make up your mind either to go straight ahead by my orders or clear out to-night. I'll give you a ten-spot to begin life again. After that don't come near me."
