He has made his fortin at the gold-mines, kooriously enough, without diggin' for it, an' has come for to know that it's sometimes possible to pay too high a price for that same metal, as is proved by many an' many a lonely grave in the wilds of Californy.
"I didn't go for to say I sailed there at all," retorted Joe; "I walked it partly, and went part o' the way on elephants an' horses, and went aloft o' them there mountains pretty nigh as far up as the main-topmast cross-trees of 'em; I've also slep' in the snow-huts of the Eskimos, an' bin tossed about in a'most every sort o' craft that swims, but wot I've got to say is this, that of all the things I ever did see, travellin' in Californy beats 'em all to sticks and stivers."
If that rogue of an Englishman, Goad, has had the luck to cheat the hangman, and the honor to die in a Californy snow-drift, you may take my experience for it, missy, Firm and Jowler will find him, and clear Uncle Sam's reputation."

Thet's wot I bin sayin' o' my wife Sadie, her that I actooally got to think kem back to me last night. You see I'd heerd from one o' those fellars that a woman like unto her had been picked up in Texas and brought on yere, and that mebbe she was somewhar in Californy.

The land, well, she deeded him the land, but he sort o' had the snap on her when she done it.

A-ah, but they'll find they ain't winterin' in Southern Californy, before they're t'rough with this country.
Sit down thar! Now hear me! I'm not resisting your process. If you had all h-ll as witnesses you daren't say that.
