Are you ready to set off on short notice?" "In half an hour av ye plaze, sur," said Larry. Bunco grinned and nodded his head.
A shot from Bunco's gun alarmed but did not hit them, for Bunco had been taken by surprise, and was in an unstable canoe. Before the deer had disappeared, two or three loud roars were heard.
