She pushed the scow down and under Phoebus with her remaining hand, till it relieved her of a portion of the weight of his body, and rose up, half-bearing the bronze-faced sailor's form, and animating her generous purpose with the honest and happy smile he wore upon his face, even in the vestibule of the eternal palace.
'We must water the ship first, my lads, said Captain Williams, 'and then we'll spend the rest of the day among the coco-nut trees, and fill our boats with them. Just then as the bronze-faced captain was ascending to the poop from his cabin; a small barefooted boy came aft, and, touching his hat, said, 'Av ye plaze, sor, won't ye let me go in the boat, sor?
The rapid music of knife and fork drowned out the asthmatic snoring of the ghostly packets that buck the stream no more. How grub does win against sentiment! Swallowing the last of the chops, "Where will I find the ruins of the old fort?" I asked of my bronze-faced neighbor across the wreck of supper. He looked bored and stiffened a horny practical thumb in the general direction of the ruins.
Buffalo Jones, burly-shouldered, bronze-faced, and grim, proved in his appearance what a lifetime on the plains could make of a man.

It was the closely hooded stranger who spoke. "I will give a hundred dollars cash," he said. A look of annoyance crossed Reese Beaudin's face. He was close to the bronze-faced stranger, and edged nearer. "Let the Indian have them," he said in a low voice. "It is Meewe. I knew him years ago. He has carried me on his back. He taught me first to draw pictures."
