Gordon was usually about half-way up. Mansell fluctuated; one week he "bagged" the translation Clarke was using for scholarship work. He was second that week. But Clarke discovered the theft. There was a fall. Many names were read in the weekly order, but Mansell's was not of them. At last Claremont reached him.
Mansell was an outside, and loved dash and brilliance, but the forwards were not sorry to have someone in command who understood them. Armour had begun well. There are still people who will maintain that the ideal schoolboy in school hours thinks only about Vergil and Sophocles, and in the field concentrates entirely on drop kicks and yorkers.
But both saw that they would have to go through with it now. "Good man," said Rudd, not to be outdone. "I wanted someone to go with me; rather lonely these little excursions without company." He spoke with the air of one who spent every other night giving dinner-parties at the Eversham Tap. "Look here, now," broke in Mansell, "don't make bloody fools of yourselves.
Mansell & Co. Gudea caused many statues of himself to be made out of the hard diorite which he brought for that purpose from the Sinaitic peninsula, and from the inscriptions preserved upon them it is possible to ascertain the buildings in which they were originally placed.
"If we reach the North Pole at all," observed Mr Dicey, "I'll climb up to the top of it and stand on my head, I will!" The second mate evidently had no expectation of reaching that mysterious pole, which men have so long and so often tried to find, in vain. "Heavy ice ahead, sir," shouted Mr Mansell, who was at the masthead with a telescope. "Where away?"
I am going to specialise in something when I get there. I am not quite sure what. But it's going to mean a lot of study hours." At Fernhurst there was a great scheme by which specialists always worked in their studies. To specialise was the dream of every School House boy. "Yes, I suppose the higher you go up the less work you do," said Mansell.
It was Gordon's first taste of real success. That night there was a big feed in No. 19. They were all out of training for three days; and they made the most of it. During the last fortnight they had been allowed only fruit between meals. "It's the finest performance since I've been in the House," Mansell declared. "Meredith's Two Cock wasn't in it.
He had gone in first with Mansell, and watched wicket after wicket fall, while he had gone on playing the same brilliant game. Every stroke was the signal of a roar from the pavilion. The whole House was looking on. It was a fitting end to a dazzling career. It was like his life, reckless and magnificent. At last he mis-hit a half-volley and was caught in the deep for seventy-two.
'I hope she was the greengrocer's third cousin. 'Pshaw! I tell you it was Mrs. Mansell and her visitors. 'Oho! No wonder Beauchastel architecture is so grand. What an impudent fellow you are, Jem! 'The odd thing is, said James, a little ashamed of Louis having put Mansell and Beauchastel together, as he had not intended, 'that it seems they asked Bull who we were.
For these achievements we have the undoubted testimonies, not only of the gallant commander and the officers of the ship, viz. Sir John Savage, Captains Tancock and Mansell, but also that of one of the officers of the Spanish ship who was on board at the time, and who added, that "we did not surrender until all further defence was hopeless."
