The concentration of interest was upon the State of Louisiana, where Governor Packard was officially declared to have received a larger popular majority than President Hayes. By negotiation of certain Commissioners who went to Louisiana under appointment of the President, the Democratic candidate for Governor, Francis T. Nicholls, was installed in office and Governor Packard was left helpless.
It is also admitted that when two candidates ran together at the first Launceston election the more popular candidate was defeated; and again the Argus correspondent writes of the recent Hobart election: "The defeat of Mr. Nicholls was doubtless due to the fact of his supporters' over-confidence nothing else explains it.
Edmund agreed to add some sentences at her suggestion. It is important to realise Mark's state of mind, at the time when this strong, additional trial was to come upon him. With the full approval of his friend, Canon Nicholls, Mark decided not to take the decree of banishment from London without remonstrance. He was not astonished at the result of the talk against him.
"I'm blest if it don't look uncommon like it, sir," is Nicholls' reply, uttered in a tone of desperate conviction. "Tell ye what 'tis, sir," he continued, as he hastily proceeds to don a garment or two, slipping his bare feet into his shoes as he does so, "I'm off down to the creek to see if the punt is there.
It is my last will and testament, and by every sacred right you hold in this world, I charge you to carry it to Mr. Nicholls, and see that no man nor woman touches it till you give it into his hands." "His will!" echoed Mrs. Pollard, astonished. "He don't know what he says.
Each boat had a foremast, foresail and oars; but owing to the boats having been foul of the main-mast, all the oars were washed away except two from each. Captain Nicholls was told, in answer to his inquiries concerning a noise among the crew, that two seamen were disputing about a couple of blankets, which one of them had brought from the ship.
And now, if you have no objection, I should like to hear your yarn." "Well, sir," answered Nicholls, "I don't know that there's very much to tell; but, such as it is, you're welcome to it. We belonged to a very tidy little barque the Wanderer, of Liverpool and sailed from Otago which, as I suppose you know, sir, is in New Zealand for London on what's to-day?" Leslie gave him the date.
This latter necessity, or rather the actual labour of conveying the timber to the mill, caused their progress to be somewhat less rapid than they had anticipated, especially as Nicholls was now busily engaged at the smithy preparing the bolts, fastenings, and other iron work for the little craft; but, notwithstanding all, the work advanced with fairly satisfactory rapidity.
On the staircase I met old Nicholls, my uncle's valet; I stopped and questioned him. My uncle had been seized on the preceding day with gout in the stomach; medical aid had been procured, but it was feared ineffectually, and the physicians had declared, about an hour before I arrived, that he could not, in human probability, outlive the night.
"You nearly lugged the second shell ahead of us to-day, hang you." "No use letting a patient die because he doesn't know he's sick." Rollins grimaced. "Yes, we were sick. Doc Nicholls knows a sick crew when he sees one. He he thinks you're the needed tonic, Deacon." "Eh?" "He told me you were to sit in at stroke in Junior Doane's place to-morrow. I'd been pulling for the change the past few days.
