There is no doubt concerning the ancestry3 of these folk. A little conversation with the natives is enough to make one realize that he is listening here to a speech redolent of the days of Chaucer, a speech richly flavored with the colloquialisms4 of the Elizabethan era. Some of the familiar folk-lore tales might well have emanated5 from the poet himself, both for their language and their spirit.
And these descendants of an early English stock have preserved not only the ancient speech, but they have maintained the generous courtesy of a former time, when Sir Walter Raleigh spread his mantle6 in the mire7 in order that his queen might pass dry shod. And real courtesy includes always an unhesitating and ungrudging hospitality. The dwellers8 in this isolated9 region are surpassed by none in their warm welcome of any wayfarer10 who may come to them.
They have no highway or railroad connection with the outside world. The only means is voyaging by small boats, a method necessarily slow at the best, and often quite impossible. It is claimed that good roads and the railways are essential factors in the education of any community, and the claim is, doubtless, just. But it would be well, perhaps, if some of those who boast of their education were to be cast among these illiterates11, there to gain a new appreciation12 of their own language, shorn of its modern barbarities and the atrocities13 of slang. It is a curious fact that many of these persons who can neither read nor write, nevertheless, possess a vocabulary beyond that of many a grammar-school graduate. Schools have been few and far between in this lonely place. Yet the very isolation14 has tended to preserve the purity of the local speech.
To-night the inhabitants of the settlement are resting upon their tiny porches, for the air is over-warm and only the slightest bit of breeze is stirring. What little there is of it comes from the forest hard by, and brings with it a plague of numberless mosquitoes. Because of them a huge smudge is kept going close beside every house. But for this defense15 the insects' victims would be forced to take refuge within doors, with every window and door fast shut. But, after all, they are accustomed to this affliction whenever the wind blows off the land. They seem to suffer little, if at all, from the volume of smoke that would strangle the unaccustomed. It would seem indeed that they would require no masks against the poisonous gases loosed against them by a warrior16 foe17. The most patient sufferers from the pests are those young ladies who are entertaining their lovers. Those of their age go barefooted late this season. The smoke does not lie close to the floor. So they are kept busy slapping at ankles and toes while they listen as best they can to the words of love uttered by their suitors.
But to-night most of the men are fishing. The season for the gray trout18 or weak fish has arrived. Of late years a new method for successfully catching19 them has crept in from the Beaufort section, whither it was brought by some unknown foreigner. After its first coming, it was quickly taken up by all the dwellers along the Sound. The method of it is to suspend a fire of lightwood knots, which is built within a hollow, gratelike iron frame over the water. The fire throws a strong light into the depths, which attracts the fish in swarms20. As they come close to the surface, toward the fire of pine knots, the fisherman deftly21 slips beneath them a net shaped like those used for crabbing22. By a quick upward movement, the wriggling23 fish are drawn24 safely to skiff or shore as the case may be.
Such a method of fishing will not appeal to a disciple25 of Izaak Walton, but one must remember that these primitive26 folk are not fishing for the sport that is to be found in the pursuit. It is their way of earning a livelihood27. It is a matter of necessity, not of choice, with them.
Doctor Garnet realized that it would not be well for Ethel to remain exposed to the chill dampness of the night. He was also aware that she had taken no nourishment28 throughout the day, and was, therefore, in a peculiarly susceptible29 condition. So he steered30 the launch close in to shore, seeking eagerly for the lights of some friendly hamlet. But to-night there was a landward breeze, so that all lights were extinguished to avoid attracting the mosquitoes. There were only the smudges burning, and these rarely showed any blaze underneath31 the drifting clouds of smoke. It was the custom to stifle32 at once any flare33 of the fire, in order to maintain the smoke at the densest34.
It was the fishermen's lights between Hunting Quarter and Cedar Island that gave the Doctor his first glimpse of life anywhere in the vicinity. Many boats had passed him going up and down the water way, but this strange man had studiously avoided hailing them, or being hailed by them. He was not willing to run the risk of being reported by any craft so encountered.
Then, presently, he observed twenty-five or thirty of the lights burning upon the water within a radius35 of a half mile. Some of them appeared to be directly on the water's edge, while others were scattered36 over the surface of the Sound. He wondered greatly at the weird37 sight, but his drug-crazed nerves left him no courage to investigate the phenomenon. But, of a sudden, the blanket-wrapped form in the bow stirred. There came the gentle noise of a healthy yawn, and then the girl's voice called:
"Doctor Garnet! Won't you please take me home—wherever that is—or some place where there is food? I'm just as hungry I can be!"
"Yes, Miss Marion," the physician answered glibly38. "We'll soon be where there is both food and shelter. I'm so glad to find you improved! My patient will soon be herself again."
"Yes," the girl agreed, "I am improved, Doctor. I feel quite myself again, and I'm wondering where I am and what has happened. I must have been unconscious for some time," she added thoughtfully, "for the ankle I sprained39 while boarding The Isabel is almost well. Do you know, there is very little I remember after that? I recall the awakening40 in the morning and the finding that the yacht was at sea and then your coming to my assistance when I discovered that I was locked in my room. Please, Doctor, won't you explain this whole affair to me? Were we kidnapped by river thieves, and did you succeed in escaping with me? Somehow, I have an impression that we're a long way from New York Harbor." Even in the faint light from the moon, Ethel could see that the physician was perturbed41 by her questioning. The fact startled her, aroused a vague suspicion. She spoke42 now with an authoritative43 quality in her voice.
"Doctor, what is the meaning of this reticence44? Why do you show such emotion? Has something dreadful happened? Surely, an explanation is my due."
Garnet perceived that he had at last a sane45, sensible woman with whom to deal. He knew that it would be necessary for him to treat her as such, to give her a satisfactory and rational explanation. But he had the cunning of that partial madness induced by the drug. He meant to have that cunning stimulated46 to even a greater degree. For even while the girl was speaking, he contrived47 to arrange another charge for the hypodermic. To avoid attracting her attention, he did not even roll up his sleeve to insert the point into his flesh. Instead, he inserted it through coat and shirt. In an emergency such as this, he had no need for the aseptic niceties characteristic of his profession. He had no thought of bacteria from the cloth to infect the wound. His sole concern was to feel within him the increased thrill of the morphia. His nerves must be at their best to combat the inquisitiveness48 of this intelligent young woman, now in the possession of her normal mind. He understood perfectly49 that his narrative50 of events must contain such a skillful mingling51 of truth and falsehood as to leave her without any doubt whatsoever52 concerning his own integrity. Otherwise, there must come disgrace for himself, the ruin of his career. He spoke then suavely53, genially55 even.
"Right you are, Miss Ethel. You were kidnapped—taken miles and miles from your home. I trust you are strong enough now to hear the story—properly censored—that I have to tell you. I think, though, it will be sufficient, for the time being, to inform you that you are now absolutely safe. I regret to advise you that The Isabel is no more. She was driven on the rocks, and is a total wreck56. Yet, perhaps, it is better so. Your kidnapper57 was trying to run out into the open sea when the tempest was such that no yacht of such tonnage could have endured the fury of the waves. So the wreck probably saved your life, for you were rescued unharmed with the exception of a mild concussion58 of the brain, which left you unconscious for some time. And you may be glad now, since you have aroused from the stupor59, that you have no memory of the many harrowing scenes connected with this affair. I also was rescued, and am doing my utmost to return you to your friends safe and sound. To-night, we're going northward60 on the waters of Core Sound, off the North Carolina mainland. The great sand dunes61 of Core Banks, which you have admired so many times in passing through these waters while cruising with your father, are just visible off the starboard bow in the moonlight. Off the port bow are many tiny lights, which I confess are a mystery to me. I have a suspicion, however, that they are shown by fishermen craft. I think it best to head for them in the hope that we may obtain shelter and food. And now, my dear patient," the Doctor concluded briskly, "please let this statement be sufficient for the time being. Then, by-and-by, I will tell you in full the most wonderful story of adventure that any little New York girl has ever experienced."
"Thank you, so much!" Ethel responded gratefully. "Now that I've had this much of the story from you, I'll promise to be as patient as possible. Just the same, I'm awfully62 anxious to hear it all in its completeness. I love adventure, and I am afraid I can't exactly be sorry that I've lived through one myself. I'm more sorry for poor father down there on that desolate63 border, for I know how he is looking forward to another cruise in the poor Isabel. I must wire him promptly64, so that he'll be able to have the yacht duplicated without delay."
The physician was immensely elated that his narrative was so well received by the girl. With a new feeling of safety and contentment he headed the launch toward the light that seemed nearest the shore. It was not long until they reached the roughly constructed pier65. Upon the extreme end of it sat a solitary66 man fishing with fire and net.
As they approached the shore, Garnet was able to make out the shadowy outlines that bulked in the distance as a half-dozen small houses. Beside each a smudge sent forth67 clouds of heavy smoke. He was heartened by the scene, for he knew well the hospitality of the southern home, and he was confident that within the walls of one of these humble68 cottages would be found food and rest for himself and the girl in his charge. Yet even in this moment, the physician wondered if indeed there would ever be real rest for him while he should remember the staring, accusing eyes that looked up at him from the water's depth.
Garnet brought the tender alongside the wharf69 in shore, at a sufficient distance from the man to avoid disturbing the fishing. Then he climbed out upon the frail70, wooden structure built upon poles driven into the bottom, and made his way over its swaying surface to the native by the fire. This proved to be "Squire71" Goodwin, the big man of the settlement. He was of an appearance above the average, and handsome still in spite of fifty-odd years of toil72 and exposure. He rose at Garnet's approach, and, without waiting to be addressed, spoke with an air of genial54 familiarity.
"I don't usually go a-firin' for trout this late o' night, but the truth is that between the hell-fired skeeters and the gals73 havin' beaux there wasn't much for me to enjoy at home. My name's Goodwin," he added by way of introduction. "They call me Squire all around these parts. I'm the justice o' the peace. So be you're after a warrant?"
The last word affected74 Garnet very unpleasantly, and he shook his head with such grim emphasis that the Squire perceived he had been mistaken as to the stranger's purpose.
"No?" he remarked. "Well, then, maybe it's fair for me to make another guess." A twinkle shone now in his clear eyes. "Judging from the face that the moon just lighted up there in the bow of your snapper, I don't believe I'd be far wrong in judging ye two to be worldly folks that think a squire's good as a parson. What mout you're name be, stranger?"
At this blunt demand, Garnet again showed traces of embarrassment75, but these endured only for an instant. He realized that in this place so remote from the ordinary lanes of travel there could be little danger in divulging76 his identity. So he spoke with brisk confidence.
"My name, sir, is Gifford Garnet, I am a physician. The young lady lying in the launch yonder is my patient. We were so unfortunate as to be wrecked77 while on a yacht cruising in the waters to the south of here. We are now on our way northward, bound for one of the larger towns, where we shall be able to get transportation home. The young lady is suffering from an injured ankle, and, too, she has been for some time unconscious from a blow on the head received while we were escaping from the yacht. It is only within the last hour that she has seemed to be again quite normal. We were obliged to lay to in the lower section of the Sound for several hours, waiting for the weather to moderate. Otherwise we would not have been obliged to put in here and beg you for food and lodging78. If you can take care of us over night I shall be only too glad to pay you for your hospitality."
"Pay me for my hospitality!" the Squire exclaimed indignantly. "That's something in my locality that's never been for sale, and can't be bought. You-all must be from the North. I've heard folks from the outside say that folks up there pay for everything, even for a place to hang their hats in public houses. Folks that pay for everything they get lose all love for each other." His tone changed abruptly79, and he spoke authoritatively80. "Get that young woman out o' the boat and after I make another dip, I'll take ye up and show ye one shack81 where hospitality ain't for sale. And when you go please remember that you don't leave under any obligation to Squire Goodwin. I will say though, if ye ever catch me in you-all's fix, and ye he'p me out, then I won't offer to pay you for your hospitality. I just don't believe in it!"
The Squire skipped back to his firelight, and the Doctor watched him toss four flopping82, wriggling beauties upon the wharf. As the fish fell from the net, the Squire shouted triumphantly83:
"Say, Doctor, there's a mornin' meal you-all can't pay for!"
The task of getting Ethel Marion from the boat to the shore was not as difficult as Garnet had anticipated. She was buoyed84 up wonderfully by the thought that comfortable quarters awaited her and good clean food to satisfy an appetite that was fast becoming ravenous85. Had it not been for the injured ankle, she could have walked as rapidly as either of the men from the landing stage to the house. But when she rested her full weight on it, she found that it was still painful, so that it was necessary for the Doctor to support her on one side while the Squire gallantly86 gave his aid on the other.
As they reached the porch, there was a stealthy sound of scurrying87 and the pattering of bare feet, as the young-men callers slipped away in the darkness to their homes. Then the two young women hastened forward to greet the strangers in true Core Sound style. "Ma" was in bed, they explained, but they themselves, with easy, unaffected kindness proceeded to make the invalid88 at home. Then one of them hurried into the cook-room to prepare a quick meal.
Ethel Marion, a girl of high society in New York City, and reared in luxury, had hitherto known little of humble homes such as this in which now she was being cared for so generously. As she glanced about her, she saw that the walls were not covered with a paper especially prepared for the purpose, in the manner to which she had been accustomed. Instead, they carried sheets of ordinary newspapers, most of them of a religious character. It was a quaint89 and indisputable witness to the fact that here she was in the home of a God-loving, Christian90 family. All of the furnishings were simple; most of them of great age. Among them were antiques to warm a collector's heart. It was plain that these had been handed down through many generations. Those of later origin were carefully wrought91 duplicates of the choicest models. In her astonishment92 amid surroundings so strange and yet so pleasant, with the savor93 of cooking food in her nostrils94, Ethel for the moment almost forgot the mystery and the peril95 through which she had passed—almost forgot, for a fleeting96 instant, the lover she had summoned to her aid by a message cast into the sea.
