The team-dogs were swept back against the cliff at the first onset. Buck was beset by three huskies, and in a trice his head and shoulders were ripped and slashed. The din was frightful. Billee was crying as usual. Dave and Sol-leks, dripping blood from a score of wounds, were fighting bravely side by side. Joe was snapping like a demon.
"Yes, I reckon Old Billee, Snake and the rest would give a good account of themselves," asserted Dick. "And they wouldn't be taken by surprise, either," added Nort. "Not likely," affirmed his cousin. Again they directed their gaze toward the flashing signal on the tower. Once more they saw it slowly raised and lowered, and then swept from side to side.
Two other men were snoring with deep content in their bunks, while a small, bright-eyed boy sat up in his, reading adventurous fiction. "Here comes old Dan," said the man with the anti-macassar warningly, as a pair of sea boots appeared at the top of the companion-ladder; "better not let him see you with that paper, Billee."
His imitation of Mona's frightened voice was so funny Patty began to laugh afresh, and Farnsworth joined her. "Get up here on my table, Little Billee," cried Patty.

"You make a charming little housewife," he said, glancing at the cap and apron. "Help me, won't you?"
They didn't get one steer, Bud!" he added, proudly enough. "That's good," said the boy rancher. "But they did an awful lot of shootin'," added Snake. "I thought sure we'd all be hit, but Old Billee was th' only one what got it. I never heard so much Fourth of July since I was a kid."
His frank, honest blue eyes looked straight into her deep violet ones, and his glance told eloquently of his remorse and regret for the mischief he had thoughtlessly brought about. Patty understood at once all his unspoken message, and smiled a full and free forgiveness. "It's all right, Little Billee," she said, softly.

"I've just washed my hair, and I can't do a thing with it!" said Big Bill, comically, as he ran his fingers through his thick mane of brown, wavy hair. "But, I say, this fire feels good!

But don't say anything to anybody, not even to Little Billee, until I can talk to Azalea, myself.
Respectfully lined up in the hall to meet them were Pete and Dong Ling: Pete with his wrinkled old face alight with joy and excitement; Dong Ling grinning and kotowing, and chanting in a high-pitched treble: "Miss Billee, Miss Billee plenty much welcome, Miss Billee!" "Yes, welcome home, Mrs.
