“Hollow, you see,” said His Holiness. “Eaten away by miners and Buccas—scandalous! One more convulsion like the Lisbon earthquake of fifty-five and we shall all fall in. Everything is hollow, when you come to think of it—cups, kegs, cannon2, ships, churches, crowns and heads—everything. We shall not only fall in but inside out. If you don’t believe me, listen.”
Whereupon he gathered his skirts and ran up Market Jew Street laying about him with the iron stick, hitting the ground, the houses and bystanders on the head, and everything he touched rumbled3 like a big or little gong, in proportion to its size. Finally he hit the Market House; it exploded and Ortho woke up.
There was a full gale5 blowing from the southwest and the noise of the sea was rolling up the valley in roaring waves. The Bosula trees creaked and strained. A shower of broken twigs6 hit the window and the wind thudded on the pane7 like a fist. Ortho turned over on his other side and was just burying his head under the pillow when he heard the explosion again. It was a different note from the boom of the breakers, sharper. He had heard something like that before—where? Then he remembered the Breton with the cutter in chase—guns! A chair fell over in his mother’s room. She was up. A door slammed below, boots thumped8 upstairs, Bohenna shouted something through his mother’s door and clumped9 down hurriedly. Ortho could not hear all he said, but he caught two essential words, “Wreck10” and “Cove11.” More noise on the stairs and again the house door slammed; his mother had gone. He shook Eli awake.
“There’s a ship ashore12 down to Cove,” he said; “banging off guns she was. Mother and Ned’s gone. Come on.”
Eli was not anxious to leave his bed; he was comfortable and sleepy. “We couldn’t do nothing,” he protested.
“Might see some foreigners drowned,” said Ortho optimistically. “She might be a pirate like was sunk in Newlyn last year, full of blacks and Turks.”
“They’d kill and eat us,” said Eli.
Ortho shook his head. “They’ll be drowned first—and if they ain’t Ned’ll wrastle ’em.”
In settlement of further argument he placed his foot in the small of his brother’s back and projected him onto the floor. They dressed in the dark, fumbled13 their way downstairs and set off down the valley. In the shelter of the Bosula woods they made good progress; it was comparatively calm there, though the treetops were a-toss and a rotten bough14 hurtled to earth a few feet behind them. Once round the elbow and clear of the timber, the gale bent15 them double; it rushed, shrieking16, up the funnel17 of the hills, pushed them round and backwards18. Walking against it was like wading19 against a strong current. The road was the merest track, not four feet at its widest, littered with rough bowlders, punctuated20 with deep holes. The brothers knew every twist and trick of the path, but in the dark one can blunder in one’s own bedroom; moreover the wind was distorting everything. They tripped and stumbled, were slashed21 across the face by flying whip-thongs of bramble, torn by lunging thorn boughs22, pricked23 by dancing gorse-bushes. Things suddenly invested with malignant24 animation25 bobbed out of the dark, hit or scratched one and bobbed back again. The night was full of mad terror.
Halfway26 to the Cove, Ortho stubbed his toe for the third time, got a slap in the eye from a blackthorn and fell into a puddle27. He wished he hadn’t come and proposed that they should return. But Eli wouldn’t hear of it. He wasn’t enjoying himself any more than his brother, but he was going through with it. He made no explanation, but waddled28 on. Ortho let him get well ahead and then called him back, but Eli did not reply. Ortho wavered. The thought of returning through those creaking woods all alone frightened him. He thought of all the Things-that-went-by-Night, of hell-hounds, horsemen and witches. The air was full of witches on broomsticks and demons29 on black stallions stampeding up the valley on a dreadful hunt. He could hear their blood-freezing halloos, the blare of horns, the baying of hounds. He wailed30 to Eli to stop, and trotted31, shivering, after him.
The pair crawled into Monks32 Cove at last plastered with mud, their clothes torn to rags. A feeble pilchard-oil “chill” burnt in one or two windows, but the cottages were deserted33. Spindrift, mingled34 with clots35 of foam36, was driving over the roofs in sheets. The wind pressed like a hand on one’s mouth; it was scarcely possible to breathe facing it. Several times the boys were forced down on all fours to avoid being blown over backwards. The roar of the sea was deafening37, appalling38. Gleaming hills of surf hove out of the void in quick succession, toppled, smashed, flooded the beach with foam and ran back, sucking away the sands.
The small beach was thronged39 with people; all the Covers were there, men, women and children, also a few farm-folk, drawn40 by the guns. They sheltered behind bowlders, peered seawards, and shouted in each other’s ears.
“Jacky’s George seen she off Cribba at sundown. Burnt a tar43 barrel and fired signals southwest of Apostles—dragging by her lights. She’ll bring up presently and then part—no cables won’t stand this. The Minstrel’ll have her.”
“No, the Carracks, with this set,” growled44 a second. “Carracks for a hundred poun’. They’ll crack she like a nut.”
Came a crash from the thick darkness seawards, followed a grinding noise and second crash. The watchers hung silent for a moment, as though awed45, and then sprang up shouting.
“Struck!”
“Carracks have got her!”
“Shan’t be long now, my dears, pickin’s for one and all.”
Men tied ropes round their waists, gave the ends to their women-folk and crouched47 like runners awaiting the signal.
A dark object was tossed high on the crest48 of a breaker, dropped on the beach, dragged back and rolled up again.
Half a dozen men scampered49 towards it and dragged it in, a ship’s pinnace smashed to splinters. Part of a carved rail came ashore, a poop-ladder, a litter of spars and a man with no head.
These also were hauled above the surf line; the wreckers wanted a clear beach. Women set to work on the spars, slashing50 off tackle, quarreling over the possession of valuable ropes and block. A second batch51 of spars washed in with three more bodies tangled52 amongst them, battered53 out of shape. Then a mass of planking, timbers, barrel staves, some bedding and, miraculously54, a live dog. Suddenly the surf went black with bobbing objects; the cargo was coming in—barrels.
A sea that will play bowls with half-ton rocks will toss wine casks airily. The breakers flung them on the beach; they trundled back down the slope and were spat55 up again. The men rushed at them, whooping56; rushed right into the surf up to their waists, laid hold of a prize and clung on; were knocked over, sucked under, thrown up and finally dragged out by the women and ancients pulling like horses on the life-lines. A couple of tar barrels came ashore among the others. Teresa, who was much in evidence, immediately claimed them, and with the help of some old ladies piled the loose planking on the wreck of the pinnace, saturated57 the whole with tar and set it afire to light the good work. In a few minutes the gale had fanned up a royal blaze. That done, she knotted a salvaged58 halliard about Bohenna, and with Davy, the second farm hand, Teresa and the two boys holding on to the shore end, he went into the scramble59 with the rest.
Barrels were spewed up by every wave, the majority stove in, but many intact. The fisher-folk fastened on them like bulldogs, careless of risk. One man was stunned60, another had his leg broken. An old widow, having nobody to work for her and maddened at the sight of all this treasure-trove going to others, suddenly threw sanity61 to the winds, dashed into the surf, butted62 a man aside and flung herself on a cask. The cask rolled out with the back-drag, the good dame63 with it. A breaker burst over them and they went out of sight in a boil of sand, gravel64 and foam. Bohenna plunged65 after them, was twice swept off his feet, turned head over heels and bumped along the bottom, choking, the sand stinging his face like small shot. He groped out blindly, grasped something solid and clung on. Teresa, feeling more than she could handle on her line, yelled for help. A dozen sprang to her assistance, and with a tug66 they got Bohenna out, Bohenna clinging to the old woman, she still clinging to her barrel. She lay on the sand, her arms about her prize, three parts drowned, spitting salt water at her savior.
He laughed. “All right, mother; shan’t snatch it from ’ee. ’Tis your plunder67 sure ’nough.” Took breath and plunged back into the surf. The flow of cargo stopped, beams still came in, a top mast, more shattered bodies, some lengths of cable, bedding, splinters of cabin paneling and a broken chest, valueless odds68 and ends. The wreckers set about disposing of the sound casks; men staggered off carrying them on rough stretchers, women and children rolled others up the beach, the coils of rope disappeared. Davy, it turned out, had brought three farm horses and left them tied up in a pilchard-press. These were led down to the beach now, loaded (two barrels a horse), and taken home by the men.
Teresa still had a cask in hand. Bohenna could hardly make a second journey before dawn. Moreover, it was leaking, so she stove the head in with a stone and invited everybody to help themselves. Some ran to the houses for cups and jugs69, but others could not wait, took off their sodden70 shoes and baled out the contents greedily. It was overproof Oporto wine and went to their unaccustomed heads in no time. Teresa, imbibing71 in her wholesale72 fashion, was among the first to feel the effects. She began to sing. She sang “Prithee Jack42, prithee Tom, pass the can around” and a selection of sottish ditties which had found favor in Portsmouth taverns73, suiting her actions to the words. From singing she passed to dancing, uttering sharp “Ai-ees” and “Ah-has” and waving and thumping74 her detached shoe as though it were a tambourine75. She infected the others. They sang the first thing that came into their heads and postured76 and staggered in an endeavor to imitate her, hoarse-throated men dripping with sea water, shrill77 young women, gnarled beldames dribbling78 at the mouth, loose-jointed striplings, cracked-voiced ancients contracted with rheumatism79, squeaky boys and girls. Drink inspired them to strange cries, extravagant80 steps and gesticulations. They capered81 round the barrel, dipping as they passed, drank and capered again, each according to his or her own fashion. Teresa, the presiding genius, lolled over the cask, panting, shrieking with laughter, whooping her victims on to fresh excesses. They hopped82 and staggered round and round, chanting and shouting, swaying in the wind which swelled83 their smocks with grotesque84 protuberances, tore the women’s hair loose and set their blue cloaks flapping. Some tumbled and rose again, others lay where they fell. They danced in a mist of flying spindrift and sand with the black cliffs for background, the blazing wreckage85 for light, the fifes and drums of the gale for orchestra. It might have been a scene from an infernal ballet, a dance of witches and devils, fire-lit, clamorous86, abandoned.
The eight drowned seamen87, providers of this good cheer, lay in a row apart, their dog nosing miserably88 from one to the other, wondering why they were so indifferent when all this merriment was toward, and barking at any one who approached them.
When the Preventive men arrived with dawn they thought at first it was not a single ship that had foundered89 but a fleet, so thick was the beach with barrel staves and bodies, but even as they stared some corpses90 revived, sat up, rose unsteadily and made snake tracks for the cottages; they were merely the victims of Teresa’s bounty91. Teresa herself was fast asleep behind a rock when the Preventive came, but she woke up as the sun rose in her eyes and spent a pleasant hour watching their fruitless hunt for liquor and offering helpful suggestions.
Hunger gnawing92 her, she whistled her two sons as if they had been dogs and made for home, tacking93 from side to side of the path like a ship beating to windward and cursing her Maker94 every time she stumbled. The frightened boys kept fifty yards in rear.
In return for Teresa’s insults the Preventives paid Bosula a visit later in the day. Teresa, refreshed by some hours’ sleep, followed the searchers round the steading, jeering95 at them while they prodded96 sticks into hay-stacks and patches of newly dug ground or rapped floors and walls for hollow places. She knew they would never find those kegs; they were half a mile away, sunk in a muddy pool further obscured by willows97. Bohenna had walked the horses upstream and down so that there should be no telltale tracks. The Preventives were drawing a blank cover. It entertained Teresa to see them getting angrier and angrier. She was prodigal98 with jibes99 and personalities100. The Riding Officer retired101 at dusk, informing the widow that it would give him great pleasure to tear her tongue out and fry it for breakfast. Teresa was highly amused. Her good humor recovered and that evening she broached102 a cask, hired a fiddler and gave a dance in the kitchen.
