CONCLUSION
STEVE RUSH had told the whole story to Captain Simms, to all of which
the captain listened in deep interest.
"Well, what do you propose to do about it?" questioned the skipper, with
a quizzical smile.
"If you will give me a leave of absence, I think I should like to go
back to Elgin with Collins and help to get him free," announced Steve.
"Don't monkey with fire. A crook's a crook, and----"
"This one _will_ be, if he is sent up again. I propose to get him out,
even if it takes all the rest of the summer to do it."
"All right. Go ahead, lad, but for goodness' sake wait until we get the
bear out of this ship," laughed the captain.
The result was that as soon as the "Richmond" reached its destination on
Lake Erie, Steve and the stoker, both dressed in their best, slipped
ashore and took a train for Chicago. Early the next forenoon they
presented themselves at the police station in the town where the robbery
had occurred, Steve acting as spokesman and stating that Collins had
heard he was wanted and had come to give himself up, prepared to prove
his innocence.
Of course the stoker was locked up. The man was sullen once more, and
when the iron doors clanged behind him he gave up all hope.
"They've got me! I was a fool!" he muttered.
Shortly after that Steve visited him, and when the boy left the man
Collins was in a better frame of mind. Rush got to work at once. He must
find some one who would remember to have seen Gus leaving town. Suddenly
an idea occurred to the boy. He visited the railroad station. From one
official to another he traveled, asking questions and getting scant
courtesy. Everyone's hand appeared to be against him when the owner
learned the object of Rush's mission.
It was not until the next day that he found the man for whom he was
looking. That was the conductor of the train on which Collins had taken
passage when he left the town the evening of the robbery, and several
hours before it occurred. He had obtained from Collins a description of
the clothes the latter wore on that night, and where he sat in the
train, establishing the fact that the man's soft hat, tipped up behind,
was pulled well down over his face, and that he wore a red necktie.
Armed with this description, Steve visited the conductor at the latter's
home. At first the conductor did not seem to remember, but when Steve
mentioned the felt hat, the red necktie and the stoop of the man's
shoulders in connection with the furtive glancing up from beneath the
eyelids, the railroad man, slapped his thigh violently.
"Of course I remember him. I'd know him if I saw him. He had a scar on
his right cheek----"
"That's the man," cut in Rush triumphantly. "Come over to the station
with me and identify him. You will prevent a grave injustice being done
if you will assist me in this matter."
The conductor readily picked out Gus Collins as the man whom he had seen
on his train proceeding the robbery. A few days later the conductor was
summoned before the Grand Jury, at Steve's instigation, where he
repeated his story in detail. Steve gave evidence also as to what he
knew about the man, repeating the interview he had had with the stoker
on board the ship.
The result was that Gus Collins stepped from his cell a free man that
evening. He said little, but he seemed unable to keep his eyes from the
face of the boy who had saved him from prison. Collins knew that nothing
could have saved him had it not been for the Iron Boy, but somehow he
could not find it possible to express his thankfulness.
"We will go back to Duluth," said the lad. "We shall not be able to
catch the ship down this way I guess. Anyhow, a few days' layoff will
not hurt us in the least."
"What are you going to do with me now?" demanded the fireman, finding
his voice at last.
"I shall take good care of you. Forget all that's past. You are a man
now, and you are going to be a man henceforth. Quit brooding over your
troubles. You haven't any. They were all washed out of you in the lake
the day you went in after me. I have something in mind for you that I
think will please you."
Reaching Duluth, Steve sought Mr Carrhart at once and to the president
the lad told the whole story.
"What do you want, my lad--what do you wish me to do for your friend?"
asked the president kindly.
Rush told him in a few words. The result was that Mr. Carrhart gave the
boy a letter to the superintendent, telling Steve to return for an
interview after he had finished with the Collins' business.
It was a proud and happy Steve who sought out Gus Collins an hour later,
at the hotel where the man and the boy were stopping.
"Well, what about it?" demanded the stoker, without the least trace of
hopefulness in his tone.
"You are to report for duty on the 'Richmond' as soon as she gets in."
"Oh!" Collins' face brightened.
"Here's your appointment," added Steve, handing over a document with the
imprint of the steamship company at its head.
Collins read it through, changed color then stared at Steve.
"Is this some kind of a joke you're playing on me?"
"It is no joke, Gus. You are appointed foreman of the stoke-room of the
ore carrier 'Richmond,' and you'll save more coal for the company than
any other stoker who ever bossed a fire-room."
Collins sat down heavily. The tears were blinding his eyes. Steve did
not try to stop them. He realized that they marked the turning point in
what had been a hard life, a life that had bidden fair to be wholly
wrecked in the name of justice. But what Steve Rush in his unselfishness
did not realize, was that he had saved a human soul.
The interview with Mr. Carrhart took place that afternoon.
"Yes, sir; I think I have a few suggestions to make," answered Steve in
reply to a question from the president. "But first I should like to ask
some questions of you."
"Proceed."
Steve asked the average cost of operating the ships of the fleet per
month; what the ships earned by carrying coal for other concerns on the
return trips, together with a number of other shrewd and pointed
questions. All of these Mr. Carrhart answered freely, knowing that the
boy's reasons for asking them were in the interest of his
investigations.
Rush made some rapid calculations on a pad on the president's desk.
"You have some two hundred ships in the line, I believe, sir?"
"Yes; two hundred and ten."
"Would it be any saving if you could save an hour in the unloading of
these ships--two hundred and ten hours, in other words, every time the
whole fleet made a trip down the lakes?"
"Well, I should say it would."
"That is easy."
"Explain."
"Simply put on an extra unloader for each dock, so that both may work at
the same time."
Mr. Carrhart considered. He, too, made some calculations.
"Yes, that is an excellent suggestion. It will mark a very great saving
in the transportation cost. Candidly, the idea never occurred to me. You
have earned your salary for one year at least," added the president with
an indulgent smile. "I felt sure you would dig up something of value to
us, to say nothing of the value the experience would be to you."
"I'm not through yet," laughed the Iron Boy. "I'm going to show you how
you can save something like thirty thousand dollars a year more on the
carrying proposition."
"Why, Rush, you amaze me. It cannot be possible, after figuring down all
transportations the way the experts of this company have done and been
doing for years."
"The old saying is to the effect that figures never lie. Perhaps mine
do. If so, you will be able to discover the untruth at once."
"May I ask how you propose to work this great saving?" asked the
president good-naturedly.
"Send your boats back light."
"Send them back light?"
"Yes, sir; in water ballast."
"But, my boy, don't you understand that it will mean the loss of a lot
of money to do that? The ships earn a great many thousands of dollars a
year by carrying freight for pay on the return trips."
"Yes, sir; I understand that. Their cargo is mostly coal, is it not?"
"It is."
"For ports all along the Great Lakes?"
"Certainly."
"And through carrying this coal your ships lose from a week to ten days
and some times two weeks' on every round trip."
"How do you know this?" interrupted Mr. Carrhart.
"I have asked questions," smiled Steve. "Call it a week's loss of time
on each trip. Do you know what that means?"
"I begin to see," answered the president reflectively.
"It means that every time your fleet makes a round trip, carrying coal
back with them, the company loses their services to the enormous total
of two hundred and ten weeks, more than four years, Mr. Carrhart. If you
will glance over these figures of mine you will observe that, by this
method, the company is losing about the figure stated by me a few
minutes ago, over and above what you get in freights for carrying the
coal."
The president made a few brief calculations. He went over his figures
and Steve's several times, his forehead corrugated with deep wrinkles as
he did so. At last Mr. Carrhart glanced up, gazing steadily at the
slightly flushed face of the Iron Boy.
"Rush you are a very remarkable young man," he said. "Of course, I knew
that before, but what I did not know was that you had a head for
finance, such as you have just demonstrated. This is really a most
remarkable showing. I shall bring it before the board at the next
meeting. There is no doubt about your suggestions being adopted. I think
it will come in the nature of a revelation to the board. My boy, I am
proud of you. I can't tell you how proud I am, especially so because I
picked you out, feeling from the first that you would prove a winner."
"Thank you, sir."
"And, in this connection, I received a long letter from Captain Simms
from Cleveland yesterday. He made certain suggestions regarding yourself
and your friend Jarvis, which it gives me great pleasure to act upon.
You have been appointed second mate of the steamer 'Richmond'; Jarvis,
first wheelman. You will be called upon to pass a government examination
for a license, which you will take to-morrow morning. You will have no
difficulty about it, if you are as good a navigator as Captain Simms
says you are, and I have no doubt you are. If you remain on the lakes
we'll be making a captain of you some of these days. However, I have an
idea you do not intend to be a sailor."
"No, sir, not permanently."
* * * * *
And so Steve Rush began as a watch officer on the Great Lakes. He proved
that the confidence of his superiors was not misplaced, and for the rest
of the season he remained on the "Richmond," distinguishing himself in
many ways. Gus Collins, with his fresh start in life, had dropped his
hang-dog expression. When he talked to a man, now, he looked that man
squarely in the eye, and from the moment of his return to the ship he
was a daily worshipper at the shrine of Steve Rush.
At the close of the season Steve found the foreman a place with a
manufacturing firm, with the help of a letter from Captain Simms. Then,
bidding good-bye to their friends, the lads gathered up their dunnage
and went home for a few weeks' rest before taking up the new life that
they had about decided upon. What happened to them in their new calling
will be related in detail in a following volume entitled, "THE IRON BOYS
IN THE STEEL MILLS; Or, Beginning Anew in the Cinder Pits." In the great
steel mills the boys were to work among the roaring furnaces, the
swiftly moving cranes and the moulding mills, where the metal that they
had helped to mine ran in rivers that turned into gold. There the boys
were to be called upon to face death many times, and in many forms, as
they toiled among the rough men of the mills and laughed at the thousand
and one perils of their new life.
THE END.
