It was pelting with rain, but Blease and we decided to walk over to explore for ourselves. Jan first wrote a very stiff letter to the Governor of Scutari about the non-arrival of the telegram, and off we went, having borrowed oilskins and sou'westers. The Serb captain insisted on coming with us.
"This is a very home-like looking place," remarked Stubb. "I may come up; I'll come around Sunday and take dinner with you, anyhow." "Do, blease," urged Louie. There was a great deal to be said, and it required two languages to express it all, but finally the "Dreibund" parted.
Blease says they won't come back; they always make tracks when white men start shooting." "You mean there's only two of us here now?" "Three. Old Blease has put on the war paint."

Later, while Higgins and Roger were sewing up the wound in Willy's shoulder, Blease suddenly uttered a warning whistle. "Some one coming walking heavy through the saw grass."
