THE HASBROOK OUTRAGE AND OTHER MATTERS.
The Maud went round to the line, and after picking up her tender and
moorings, anchored near the Penobscot.
"There is no doubt now which boat has won the race," said Mr. Norwood.
"None whatever, sir," replied Donald. "The day is ours by as fair a race
as ever was sailed. The Maud proved what she could do before we got to
Turtle Head; and all the conditions were exactly equal up to that time.
If I made anything by manoeuvring, it was only when we tacked a mile
north of the Head. We have beaten her squarely in a heavy wind; but how
she would do compared with the Skylark in a light breeze, is yet to be
proved."
"I am satisfied, Don John; and I give you the job to build the Alice,
for that is to be the name of Frank's yacht."
"Thank you, sir. I suppose you don't expect to get her out this season."
"No; if he has her by the first of June of next year, it will be soon
enough.--I hope you are satisfied with the Maud, Sam," added Mr.
Norwood, turning to the owner of the winning craft.
"I ought to be, and I am," replied Rodman.
"You have the fastest yacht in the fleet."
"She won't be when I sail her. The commodore will clean me out every
time, if Don John is not at the helm."
"Then there is a capital opportunity for you to improve in the art of
sailing a yacht."
"Plenty of room for that," laughed Rodman.
Dick Adams brought the tender alongside, and pulled Mr. Norwood, Rodman,
and Donald to the Penobscot.
"I congratulate you, Don John," said Mr. Montague, extending his hand to
the boat-builder. "You have won the race handsomely."
"Thank you, sir."
"It is a double triumph to you, since you both built your yacht, and
sailed her," added Mr. Montague.
"It is worth a good deal to me in a business point of view; for I get a
job to build another yacht by it. The firm of Ramsay & Son can't afford
to have their boats beaten," laughed Donald. "Here comes Robert."
"I suppose he will not be satisfied with the Skylark, now that she has
been so thoroughly whipped," added the commodore's father.
"Perfectly satisfied with her, father. She is as good a boat as she ever
was," answered Robert, as he gave his hand to Donald. "You have won the
race fairly and handsomely, Don John; and I congratulate you upon your
success."
"I thank you, Bob; but I would rather have beaten any other fellow than
you," replied Donald.
"I can stand it as well as anybody."
The ladies and gentlemen on board of the Penobscot congratulated the
hero of the occasion, and condoled with the commodore, till the last of
the fleet arrived. The judges filled out the schedule with the corrected
time.
"Captain Rodman, of the Maud," said the chairman; and the owner of the
winning yacht stepped forward. "It appears from the schedule that you
have made the shortest time, and I have the pleasure of presenting to
you the first prize."
"Thank you, sir," replied Rodman, accepting the envelope, which
contained the prize of one hundred dollars; "but as it appears that
Donald Ramsay sailed the Maud, as well as built her, I shall have the
pleasure of presenting it to him."
A round of hearty applause followed this little speech, which ended in
three cheers for the captain of the Maud, and three more for her
builder.
"I can't take that," said Donald, declining to receive the envelope.
"But you must take it. I will hand you over to Mr. Deputy Sheriff
Beardsley, who, I see, is coming up the bay in the Juno."
"It don't belong to me. I am not the owner of the Maud," protested
Donald.
"Take it! take it!" shouted one and another of the interested
spectators, until nearly all of them had expressed their opinion in this
way.
Thus overborne, the boat-builder took the envelope, though his pride
revolted.
"Commodore Montague, it appears that the Skylark made the next best
time, and I have the pleasure of presenting to you the second prize."
"Which I devote to the club for the building fund."
The members heartily applauded this disposal of the money.
"I will give the other prize to the club for the same purpose," added
Donald.
"Impossible!" exclaimed Commodore Montague. "The fund is completed, and
the donation cannot be accepted."
"No! No!" shouted the members.
"The fifty dollars I added to the fund just makes up the sum necessary
to pay for the club-house on Turtle Head, which is to be only a shanty;
so you can't play that game on us, Don John."
Donald was compelled to submit; and he transferred the hundred dollars
to his pocket-book.
"I am so glad you won the race, Don John!" said Nellie Patterdale.
"Everybody said you sailed the Maud splendidly."
"Thank you, Nellie; your praise is worth more to me than that of all the
others," replied Donald, blushing deeply; but I must do him the justice
to say that, if he had not been laboring under intense excitement, he
would not have made so palpable a speech to her.
Nellie blushed too; but she was not angry, though her father might have
been, if he had heard the remark.
"Is Captain Patterdale on board?" shouted Mr. Beardsley, as the Juno ran
under the stern of the Penobscot.
"Here," replied the captain.
"I want to see you and Don John," added the officer.
The business of the race was finished, and the Maud conveyed Captain
Patterdale, his daughter, and Donald to the shore. Laud Cavendish was in
the Juno, and so was Hasbrook; but none of the party knew what had
transpired at Saturday Cove during the forenoon.
"I will be at your house in half an hour, Captain Patterdale," said
Donald, as they landed. "I am wet to the skin, and I want to put on dry
clothes."
Mr. Beardsley had proposed the place of meeting; and the boat-builder
hastened home. In a few minutes he had put himself inside a dry suit of
clothes. Then he went to the shop, and wrote a brief note to Captain
Shivernock, in which he enclosed sixty dollars, explaining that as he
had been unable to "keep still with his tongue," he could not keep the
money. He also added, that he should send him the amount received for
the Juno when he obtained the bills from Captain Patterdale, who had a
part of them. Sealing this note in an envelope, he called at the house
of the strange man, on his way to the place of meeting. Mrs. Sykes said
that Captain Shivernock was in his library.
"Please to give him this; and if he wishes to see me, I shall be at
Captain Patterdale's house for an hour or two," continued Donald; and
without giving the housekeeper time to reply, he hastened off, confident
there would be a storm as soon as the eccentric opened the note.
In the library of the elegant mansion, he found the party who had been
in the Juno, with Captain Patterdale and Nellie. On the desk was the tin
box, the paint on the outside stained with yellow loam. Laud Cavendish
looked as though life was a burden to him, and Donald readily
comprehended the situation.
"We have found the tin box," said Mr. Beardsley, with a smile, as the
boat-builder was admitted.
"Where did you find it?"
"Laud had it in his hand down at Saturday Cove. While I was looking up
the Hasbrook affair, our friend here landed from the Juno, and was
walking towards the woods, when he walked into me. He owns up to
everything."
"Then I hope you are satisfied that I had nothing to do with the box."
"Of course we are," interposed Captain Patterdale. "It certainly looked
bad for you at one time, Don John."
"I know it did, sir," added Donald.
"But I could not really believe that you would do such a thing," said
the captain.
"I knew he wouldn't," exclaimed Nellie.
"Laud says he buried the box on Turtle Head, just where you said, and
only removed it yesterday, when he put the notes under the sill in your
shop," continued Mr. Beardsley.
"What did you do that for, Laud?" asked Donald, turning to the culprit.
"You promised not to tell where I got the money to pay for the Juno. You
went back on me," pleaded Laud.
"I told you I wouldn't tell if everything was all right. When it
appeared that the mended bill was not all right, I mentioned your name,
but not till then."
"That is so," added the nabob. "Now, Laud, did Captain Shivernock pay
you any money?"
"No, sir," replied Laud, who had concluded to tell the whole truth,
hoping it would go easier with him if he did so.
"Where did you get the mended bill you paid Don John?"
"From the tin trunk."
"Why did you say that Captain Shivernock gave you the money you paid for
the Juno?"
"I couldn't account for it in any other way. I knew the captain threw
his money around very loosely, and I didn't think any one would ask him
if he gave me the money. If any one did, he wouldn't answer."
"But he did answer, and said he gave you the money."
"He told me he would say so, when I went to see him a fortnight ago."
"Why did you go to see him?"
Laud glanced at Donald with a faint smile on his haggard face.
"Don John told me Captain Shivernock had a secret he wanted to keep."
"I told you so!" exclaimed Donald.
"You did; but you thought I knew the secret," answered Laud. "You told
me the captain had given me the money not to tell that I had seen him
near Saturday Cove on the morning after the Hasbrook affair."
"I remember now," said Donald. "Captain Shivernock gave me sixty
dollars, and then gave me the Juno, for which I understood that I was
not to say I had seen him that day. I refused to sell the boat to Laud
till he told me where he got the money. When he told me the captain had
given it to him, and would not say what for, I concluded his case was
just the same as my own. After I left the captain, he stood over to the
Northport shore, and Laud went over there soon after. I was sure that
they met."
"We didn't meet; and I did not see Captain Shivernock that day," Laud
explained.
"I supposed he had; I spoke to Laud just as though he had, and he didn't
deny that he had seen him."
"Of course I didn't. Don John made my story good, and I was willing to
stick to it."
"But you did not stick to it," added the nabob. "You said you had paid
no money to Don John."
"I will tell you how that was. When I got the secret out of Don John, I
went to the captain with it. He asked me if I wanted to black-mail him.
I told him no. Then I spoke to him about the tin trunk you had lost, and
said one of the bills had been traced to me. I made up a story to show
where I got the bill; but the man that gave it to me had gone, and I
didn't even know his name. He had some bills just like that mended one;
and when I told him what my trouble was, he promised to say that he had
given me the bill; and then he laughed as I never saw a man laugh
before."
"What was he laughing at?" asked the sheriff.
"He went off early the next morning, and I suppose he was laughing to
think what a joke he was playing upon me, for he was not to be in town
when wanted to get me out of trouble."
"He did say he let you have the use of the Juno for taking care of her,
and that he gave you the money, though he wouldn't indicate what it was
for," added the officer.
"I thought he was fooling me, and I didn't depend on him."
"That's Captain Shivernock," said the good nabob, as the party in the
library were startled by a violent ring at the door.
It was the strange man. He was admitted by Nellie. He stalked up to
Donald, his face red with wrath, and dashed the letter and bills into
his face, crumpled up into a ball.
"You canting little monkey! What have you been doing?" roared he.
"Since I could not do what you wished me to do, I have returned your
money," replied Donald, rising from his chair, for he feared the captain
intended to assault him.
"Have you disobeyed my orders, you whelp?"
"I have; for I told you I should tell no lies."
"I'll break every bone in your body for this!" howled Captain
Shivernock.
"Not yet, captain," interposed Mr. Beardsley. "You may have something
else to break before you do that job."
"Who are you?" demanded the wicked nabob, with what was intended as a
withering sneer; but no one wilted under it.
"A deputy sheriff of Waldo County, at your service; and I have a warrant
for your arrest."
"For my arrest!" gasped Captain Shivernock, dismounting from his high
horse, for he had a wholesome fear of the penalties of violated law.
"Here is the document," added the sheriff, producing a paper.
"For what?"
"For breaking and entering in the night time, in the first place, and
for an aggravated assault on Jacob Hasbrook in the second."
"What assault? You can't prove it."
"Yes, we can; we went a-fishing down in Saturday Cove this morning, and
we caught a bundle, containing a pair of boots, a blue frock, and other
articles, including the stick the assault was committed with. They were
sunk with half a pig of lead, the other half of which I found in the
Juno. I hope you are satisfied."
"No, I'm not. I didn't leave my house till four o'clock that morning;
and I can prove it."
"You will have an opportunity to do so in court."
The wicked nabob was silent.
"I was bound to follow this thing up to the bitter end," said Hasbrook,
rejoiced at the detection of the wretch.
"You got what you deserved, you miserable, canting villain!" roared the
captain. "You cheated me out of a thousand dollars, by giving me an
indorser you knew wasn't worth a dollar."
"But I meant to pay you. I pay my debts. I appeal to Captain Patterdale
to say whether I do or not."
"I think you do when it is for your interest to do so, or when you can't
help it," added the good nabob, candidly. "I suppose you know Mr. Laud
Cavendish, captain?"
"I do," growled the rich culprit. "He is the fellow that saved a man's
life down at Haddock Ledge; a man he hadn't been introduced to, who gave
him a pile of money for the job, but didn't give him his name."
"But, Captain Shivernock, you said you gave him some money, and you
didn't tell us what you gave it to him for," added Beardsley.
"That was my joke."
"We do not see the point of it."
"I only wanted the privilege of proving to Captain Patterdale that he
was mistaken about the bill, by showing him three more just like it."
"How do you fold your money, Captain Shivernock?" asked the nabob.
"None of your business, you canting psalm-singer."
"I shall be obliged to commit you," said the sheriff, sharply.
"Commit me!" howled the wicked nabob. "I should like to see you do it."
"You shall have that satisfaction. If you give me any trouble about it,
I shall have to put these things on," added the sheriff, taking from his
pocket a pair of handcuffs.
The culprit withered at the sight of the irons. He and Laud both walked
to the county jail, where they were locked up. Of course the
imprisonment of such a man as the wicked nabob caused a sensation; but
there was no one to object. He was willing to pay any sum of money to
get out of the scrape; but the majesty of the law must be vindicated,
and there was a contest between money and justice. He obtained bail by
depositing the large amount required in the hands of two men, whom his
well-fed lawyer procured. Between two days he left the city; but
Beardsley kept the run of him, and when he was wanted for trial, he was
brought back from a western state.
On the trial a desperate attempt was made to break down the witnesses;
but it failed. The first for the defence was Mrs. Sykes; but her
evidence was not what had been expected of her. She had told, and
repeated the lie, that the captain left his house at four o'clock on the
morning after the outrage; but in court, and under oath, she would not
perjure herself. She declared that the defendant had left home about
eleven o'clock in the evening, dressed in her husband's blue frock,
boots, and hat. Mr. Sykes, after his wife had told the whole truth, was
afraid to testify as he had said he should do. A conviction followed;
and the prisoner was sentenced to the state prison for ten years. He was
overwhelmed by this result. He swore like a pirate, and then he wept
like a child; but he was sent to Thomaston, and put to hard work.
Laud pleaded guilty, and was sent to the same institution for a year.
There was hope of him; for if he could get rid of his silly vanity, and
go to work, he might be saved from a lifetime of crime.
Donald came out of the fire without the stain of smoke upon him. After
the great race, as Mr. Norwood was in no hurry for the Alice, he went on
the long cruise with the fleet, in the Sea Foam. They coasted along the
shore as far as Portland, visiting the principal places on the seaboard.
On the cruise down Donald "coached" his friend, Ned Patterdale, in the
art of sailing; and on the return he rendered the same service to
Rodman. Both of them proved to be apt scholars; and after long practice,
they were able to bring out the speed of their yachts, and stood a fair
chance in a regatta.
On the cruise, the yachts were racing all the time when under way, but
the results were by no means uniform. When Donald sailed the Maud, she
beat the Skylark; but when Rodman skippered her himself, the commodore
outsailed him. The Maud beat the Sea Foam, as a general rule; but one
day Robert Montague sailed the latter, and the former was beaten.
"Don John, I don't know yet which is the fastest craft in the fleet,"
said Commodore Montague, as they were seated on Manhegan Island, looking
down upon the fleet anchored below them.
"I thought you did, Bob," laughed Donald.
"No, I don't. I have come to the conclusion that you can sail a yacht
better than I can, and that is the reason that you beat me in the Maud,
as you did in the Sea Foam."
"No, no!" replied Donald. "I am sure I can't sail a boat any better than
you can."
"I can outsail any boat in the fleet when you are ashore."
"We can easily settle the matter, Bob."
"How?"
"You shall sail the Maud, and I will sail the Skylark. If the difference
is in the skippers, we shall come in about even. If the Maud is the
better sailer, you will beat me."
"Good! I'll do it."
"You will do your best in the Maud--won't you?"
"Certainly; and you will do the same in the Skylark."
"To be sure. We will sail around Matinicus Rock and back."
The terms of the race were agreed upon, and the interest of the whole
club was excited. The party went on board the fleet, and the two yachts
were moored in line. At the firing of the gun on board the Sea Foam,
they ran up their jibs and got a good start. The wind was west, a lively
breeze, but not heavy. Each yacht carried her large gaff-topsail and the
balloon-jib. The course was about forty miles, the return from the rock
being a beat dead to windward. Robert and Donald each did his best, and
the Maud came in twelve minutes ahead of the Skylark.
"I am satisfied now," said Robert, when they met after the race.
"I was satisfied before," laughed Donald. "I was confident the Maud was
faster than the Skylark or the Sea Foam."
"I agree with you now; and I have more respect for myself than I had
before, for I thought it was you, and not the Maud, which had beaten
me," added Robert. "I have also a very high respect for the firm of
Ramsay & Son."
[Illustration: THE MAUD WINNING THE RACE. Page 338.]
The members of the club enjoyed the excursion exceedingly; and on their
return it was decided to repeat it the next year, if not before. The
club-house on Turtle Head was finished when the fleet arrived at
Belfast; and during the rest of the vacation, the yachts remained in the
bay. They had chowders and fries at the Head, to which the ladies
were invited; and Donald made himself as agreeable as possible to Miss
Nellie on these occasions. Possibly her father and mother had some
objections to this continued and increasing intimacy; if they had, they
did not mention them. They were compelled to acknowledge, when they
talked the matter over between themselves, that Donald Ramsay was an
honest, intelligent, noble young man, with high aims and pure
principles, and that these qualifications were infinitely preferable to
wealth without them; and they tacitly permitted the affair to take its
natural course, as I have no doubt it will. Certainly the young people
were very devoted to each other; and though they are too young to think
of anything but friendship, it will end in a wedding.
In the autumn, after the frame of the Alice was all set up, Barbara
obtained a situation as a teacher in one of the public schools, and
added her salary to the income of the boat-builder. The family lived
well, and were happy in each other. After the boating season closed, the
yacht club hired apartments, in which a library and reading-room were
fitted up; and the members not only enjoyed the meetings every week,
but they profited by their reading and their study. Donald is still an
honored and useful member, and people say that, by and by, when the
country regains her mercantile marine, he will be a ship-builder, and
not, as now, THE YOUNG BOAT-BUILDER.
