Too inexperienced to know that events, when crowded, have the effect of time, or that the quick succession of novelties that pass before us in travelling elevates objects, in a measure, to the dignity of events, she drew upon her memory for days and dates, in order to make certain that she had known Jasper, and the Pathfinder, and her own father, but little more than a fortnight.
At a rather slow, easy dip, the "Scalp-hunter" ranged up near the "Pathfinder." "All ready there, Gridley?" called Hartwell rather impatiently. "As ready as we're going to be," said Dick. "Flying start, or from a stop?" "Either," Dick nodded. "Then," proposed Hartwell, "move along until your prow is flush with ours. When I give the word both crews paddle for all they're worth.
"You surely do not mean, Pathfinder, that a friendship for a girl like me would make you less bold, and more unwilling to meet the French than you were before?" "Not so, not so.
"Father! Oh, my beloved father!" "Magnet is taken aback by this blow, Master Pathfinder, and can say or do but little to carry her father over the shoals; so we must try all the harder to serve him a friendly turn ourselves."

Ask any of the 60th, and they can tell you what Killdeer can do, and has done, and that, too, when the bullets were flying about our heads like hailstones.
I have come this long journey as much to satisfy my own eyes concerning these facts, as to oblige the Sergeant and Magnet, though the first was my sister's husband, and I love the last like a child." "You are wrong, friend Cap, very wrong, to distrust the power of God in any thing," returned Pathfinder earnestly.
