There was a great deal of pow-wowing and chatter, charges and refutations, excuses and explanations. Mr. Medcroft finally waved every one aside in the most dégagé manner imaginable. "Don't crowd me! Hang it all, I'm not a curiosity. There isn't anything to go crazy about. My friend, Mr. Brock, has just done me a trifling favour. That's all.
"I wish we had some ropes, with which to tie them," continued Joe. "Here's a good big handkerchief." "That's an idea. My handkerchief is also good and strong." "You do the pow-wowing and I'll do the shooting, if it's necessary," said Bill Badger. Joe looked up into the tree again but could see nobody. "Caven!" he called out. "I know you are up there and I want you to come down."
They worked until noon and were out of sight of the Indian camp when they saw, a mile north of them, a couple of Indians poling their canoe.

"These Injuns, Charley Jumper and Cypress Tiger. This Miami trail.
I've got some prodigious operations on foot; but I'm keeping quiet; mum's the word; your old hand don't go around pow-wowing and letting everybody see his k'yards and find out his little game.

"Who has gone?" he cried, and mechanically he drew from his pocket a silver call to summon his constables from the kitchen, where my uncles and they were having as riotous a time as they dared while so many great folk sat pow-wowing in the parlour near at hand.
Sidney seriously wounded. They construct a bed. Whirlwind procures medicine. Dressing Sidney's wounds. They Build a Cabin. A high fever sets in. Fears entertained of Sidney's death. Talk of Pow-wowing the disease. Howe's story of encountering a Polar Bear. His faith in the Indian's Medicine Man. Miscellaneous conversation on the matter. Their final consent to the Pow-wow.
I had only time to ask him his name, and he said, "George just George." Next day I discovered I had been pow-wowing with a king. The effect on me was almost as bad as a successful go with the gloves.

Although the fellows doubtless knew who we were, so far as our assumed characters went, and had probably been advised of our approach, this bait took, and there was a general jumping up and down, and a common pow-wowing among them, indicative of the pleasure such a proposal gave. In a minute the whole party were around us, with some eight or ten more who appeared from the nearest bushes.
"There can be no doubt at all," Edge put in; "and if I may venture to suggest, I should say that the sooner the necessity is faced the better." "Certainly, certainly," Harry assented absently.
