"There'll be lots of quiet work for you and Frere scouting and so forth." "I'm nuts on fighting," put in Armitage. "As for me, I'm spoiling for the fray," laughed Mason, exhibiting the muscle of his arm with great pride. "Oh, well, it will teach them to respect us anyway. And that will be something gained," said Simmons. "Mason, will you captain us?" "Not much!
They'll probably send scouts miles up and down the stream to cross, and then hunt us out, but that'll take time, until night at least, and maybe they won't know positively until morning, because scouting in the thickets in the face of an enemy is a dangerous business. So, I propose that we use the advantage we've gained." "In what way?" asked Paul. "We'll go now.
Not even a wireless apparatus, with which Pee-wee's scouting experience had made him familiar, had such a variety of shiny little odds and ends. Having no knowledge of these things he moved his hand among them cautiously, fearful lest some inadvertent touch might cause the car to go careering into the board wall.
You can bet your moccasins that the grass didn't grow very much while I was getting back to camp. Flood and The Rebel took fifteen men and went to Quince's support, and I have been scouting since dawn trying to locate you. Yes, the sheriff himself and five deputies passed up the trail before daybreak to arrest Forrest and take possession of his herd I don't think.
Men will hide their illnesses as long as they are scouted on its becoming known that they are ill; it is the scouting, not the physic, which produces the concealment; and if a man felt that the news of his being in ill-health would be received by his neighbours as a deplorable fact, but one as much the result of necessary antecedent causes as though he had broken into a jeweller's shop and stolen a valuable diamond necklace as a fact which might just as easily have happened to themselves, only that they had the luck to be better born or reared; and if they also felt that they would not be made more uncomfortable in the prison than the protection of society against infection and the proper treatment of their own disease actually demanded, men would give themselves up to the police as readily on perceiving that they had taken small-pox, as they go now to the straightener when they feel that they are on the point of forging a will, or running away with somebody else's wife.
General Lyon determined to fall upon the enemy before he could reach Springfield, and moved on the 1st of August with that object in view. On the second day of our march a strong scouting party of Rebels was encountered, and a sharp skirmish ensued, in which they were repulsed. This encounter is known in the Southwest as "the fight at Dug Spring."
We adopted each method at different periods of the stowing, and parties ran high in the forecastle, some siding with ``old Bill'' in favor of the former, and others scouting him and relying upon ``English Bob'' of the Ayacucho, who had been eight years in California, and was willing to risk his life and limb for the latter method.
We traveled in two parallel lines, about fifty feet apart and kept the spare cattle and remounts of horses, as also the small provision teams between the lines. A cavalcade of train owners and mayordomos was constantly scouting in all directions, but they never ventured out of sight of the traveling teams.
At present it is evident only that an expedition is fitting out here against some point on our coast. I shall send this by a trusty messenger at daybreak. All of which is respectfully submitted. Commanding Scouting Party. This document was duly dated from "Fishing Camp, Five miles below Pensacola," and when it was written, Sam quietly waked Bob Sharp.
"He removed his shoes either to help in climbing or to prevent noise ah here's the foot! Strange see how small it is and broad, how prehensile the toes almost like fingers. Surely that foot could never have been encased in American shoes all its life. I shall make plaster casts of these, to preserve later." He was still scouting about on hands and knees in the dampness of the rhododendrons.
