The one held sulphur matches, thus kept quite dry, and this she passed to me. The other she handed to the young woman. "Here," said she, "take a drink of that. It'll do you good." I heard the girl gasp and choke as she obeyed this injunction; and then Mandy applied the bottle gurglingly to her own lips. "I've got a gallon of that back there on the boat," said Auberry ruefully.
"Put me down," she said at length, as she saw the water shoaling. It was hip deep to me, but waist deep to her; and I felt her shudder as she caught its chill. Her little hand gripped tight to mine. By this time the others had also descended from the snag. I saw old Auberry plunging methodically along, at his side Mrs. McGovern, clasping the hand of her son. "Come on here, you boy," she said.
"My good man," said he to Auberry, "let me take your knife." Auberry loosed the long hunting-knife at his belt and handed it to him. Taking it, Orme seated himself cross-legged on a white blanket, which he spread out on the sandy soil. All at once Orme looked up with an expression of surprise on his face. "This was not the knife I wanted," he said.
At last I heard the voice of Auberry, changed from that of an old man into the quick, clear accents of youth, sounding hard and clear. "Ready now! Each fellow pick his own man, and kill him, d'ye hear, kill him!" We had no further tactics. Our fire began to patter and crackle.
