With every expression of pleasure, but none of gratitude, the six Indians took instant departure. "It's three o'clock," announced Norman, when this had been done. "Now for a little camp fire out here in the snow, some tea and a piece of bannock, and we'll make a record trip back home." Unaware of the disastrous discovery they were soon to make the two boys took a leisurely rest.
I am not a West-coast tyrant, ready to take off your head. Get them away, Bannock, I want to think of what is to be done next." The sailor stepped forward, and clapped the big black on the shoulder. "Come along, my hearty. You've got off wonderfully easy. No cat for you to-day. It's all right." "All righ'?" cried the black, eagerly. "Yes."
The men, who had drawn back for the moment, made a rush at Tom Fillot, seized him, there was a short struggle, a loud splash, and the schooners men had got rid of the most vigorous of their assailants. A shout and another heave, and Dance had gone. Then Dick Bannock, who kicked and cursed like a madman, was swung up and tossed over.
She refused it with some indignation. Gibbie, disappointed, but not ungrateful, resumed his tramp, eating his bannock. He came soon after to a little stream that ran into the great river.

They had walked a long way, and were both hungry, and our Lord begged hard for a bannock to stay their hunger. Yes, they should have it.
"I don't like risking you men's lives," said Mark; "but there's no going back now; it must be done." "Come on, Dick Bannock," cried Tom Fillot, rolling up his sleeves. "You chaps stand by with the end of that cable."
This was as he hung out of the window from the waist, holding Mark Vandean; and exerting their great strength, the two sailors for Tom was helpless drew him right back and inward till Bannock could seize Mark's other leg. As they drew him in the man overhead made a savage blow at the boy with the bar he held, but it fell short.
Don caught the hands in his, and sat up slowly, while the chief awakened Jem in the same manner, and with precisely the same result. "Why, I thought it was Mike Bannock trying to smother me," grumbled Jem, sitting up. "What's the matter?" "I don't know, Jem. Ngati just woke me in the dark, and Oh! Ngati!"
