"Perfess'r and Long man; we seed 'em, dey motion for us to hurry ober to 'em." This was astounding news and Ashman was mystified. "How did they get over there? And why did they leave camp?" "Don' know; seed 'em; want us hurry."
Ashman turned his head, and there in the moonlight he saw Professor Grimcke and the New Englander standing on the land and motioning to them to return. "Yes dat de way he do he move arm like dat," said Bippo; "we hurry to go to him, den he ain't here but dere."

The ashman " Eleanor, gasping, said her cold was better, and repeated her determination of going home. It was the doctor dropping in, he said, to make sure Mrs. Curtis was none the worse for her "accident" who put a stop to that.
"Into the woods, quick!" Ashman did not hesitate, but darted to his right, halting after a couple of steps, through fear of betraying himself.
