In event of quarantine being enforced, it means a bigger range for Wells Brothers. Of course, this is only your second year in cattle, just getting a firm grip on the business, but I can see a big future for you boys.
He could snap it with a report like a pistol shot, and at twenty-five or thirty feet distance he could, with the tip of the whip, strike a chip that was no bigger than a half dollar. When he had given an exhibition of his skill, he passed the whip to Charley. "Now you try to snap un," said he.
Dick looked down and was amazed to see that the whole reef was composed of oysters oysters of all sizes, oysters single, in small bunches and in great masses.
