Saunders and Buzzby fired at his head the moment it appeared above water, and Awatok at the same time planted a spear in his breast, and ran back with the coil.

You would insist on sitting in front." "Well, it is some comfort," retorted Benjy, squeezing the water from his garments, "that Alf is as wet as myself, for that gives us an opportunity of sympathising with each other. Eh, Alf? Does Buzzby offer no consolatory remarks for such an occasion as this?" "O yes," replied Alf; "in his beautiful poem on Melancholy, sixth canto, Buzzby says:
"Damn her damn her damn her " he kept saying over and over to himself, and the mere repetition seemed to ease him of his over-powering surcharge of pity. But it was Almeda Champney he had in mind, and, after all, his unuttered inner curses were only a prayer for help, read backwards. At last, Aurora Googe lifted her face from her hands and looked at Octavius Buzzby. He reddened and rose to go.

Expeditions on foot Effects of darkness on dogs and men The first death Caught in a trap The Esquimau camp. "I don't know how it is, an' I can't tell wot it is, but so it is," remarked Buzzby to Grim, a week after the first night of the theatricals, "that that 'ere actin' has done us all a sight o' good.
John Buzzby stood on the pier of the sea-port town of Grayton watching the active operations of the crew of a whaling-ship which was on the point of starting for the ice-bound seas of the Frozen Regions, and making sundry remarks to a stout, fair-haired boy of fifteen, who stood by his side gazing at the ship with an expression of deep sadness.
He wondered what connection its coming might have with the unexpected arrival of this orphan child? On his way home Octavius Buzzby found himself wondering, as he had wondered many times before on occasion, how he could checkmate this latest and most unexpected move on the part of the mistress of Champ-au-Haut.
