Harrigan reached over and picked up the card. "Suffering shamrocks! if Molly could only see me now," he murmured. "I wonder if I made any breaks? The grand duke, and me hobnobbing with him like a waiter! James, this is all under your hat. We'll keep the card where Molly won't find it." Young men began to drift in and out.
"Good! Then start him scrubbing the bridge and send him down to the fireroom afterwards, eh?" "It's done. Why do you hate him, McTee? Is it the girl?" "No; the color of his hair. Good night." Long before this, Harrigan had reported to the bos'n, burly Jerry Hovey, and had been assigned to a bunk into which he fairly dived and fell asleep in the posture in which he landed.
Between you and me just a whisper in your ear I don't think Harrigan is half as strong for it as he talks. I don't trust him, somehow." "No?" "Look here," said the bos'n cautiously. "We hear there was once some trouble between you and Harrigan?" "Well?" "Would you waste much tune if somethin' was to happen to him say in the middle of the night, silent and unexpected?" "I would not!
Holmes, I don't like to say it, because he's an awfully good fellow, but between you and me, I think that Joe Harrigan, the butler, swiped the diamonds," answered the elderly man from India. "He gets pretty well soused sometimes, as I have observed, and you know that a man in that condition is likely to do almost anything."
Harrigan was deep in the intricate maze of the Amelia Ars of Bologna, which, as the initiated know, is a wonderful lace. By one of the windows sat Nora, winding interminable yards of lace-hemming from off the willing if aching digits of the Barone, who was speculating as to what his Neapolitan club friends would say could they see, by some trick of crystal-gazing, his present occupation.
I'll stop that throat of yours for good tonight." He turned on his heel, and the two men separated. Harrigan struck with a long swing out over a road which led into the rolling fields near the little town. He walked rapidly, and his thoughts kept pace, for he was counting his chances to win Kate as a miser counts his hoard of gold. Two pictures weighed large in his mind.
And as Harrigan and McTee, followed by Kate and Campbell, ran out to the open air, they saw the crowd of the mutineers surge across the waist toward Sloan with upturned faces, wondering, and ready for terror. Hovey broke through their midst. "Hovey!" shouted McTee. "Look at the mist over the sides! Draw a breath; smell of it! It is fire! Henshaw has set fire in the hold!"
Tooter, Hicks, and Budd, while Holmes managed to pump Harrigan on the Q. T., and found out from him that the Earl was rated at two million pounds, in the form of several thousand acres of valuable land up in Yorkshire, including one or two good-sized towns.
Even a small portion of that hoard would enable him to leave the sea to woo Kate as she must be wooed before he could win her. Golden would be the veil with which he could blind her eyes to the memory of Harrigan after he had removed the Irishman from his path. "Very well, bos'n. I understand what you mean. I've seen the inside of that safe in the cabin. Now I come straight to the point.
"But then, how do we compete with the operators in this district, who pay for a ton of three thousand pounds?" "We manage it by economy." "Economy? I don't see Peter Harrigan wasting anything here!" Hal paused for an answer, but none came. "Do we buy the check-weighmen? Do we bribe the labour leaders?" Edward coloured slightly. "What's the use of being nasty, Hal? You know I don't do dirty work."
