They starts in on it las' night an' some of 'em was lit up like a corner saloon, I tell you. Didn't I see 'em an' didn't I hear 'em? Great snakes! they kep' me awake with their shouts an' singin' las' night fer hours an' I'm campin' a good loud holler away from their hangout at that. I crep' down clost to find out what they was celebratin' an' I hears 'em gabbin', see. The gang aint all there yet.
"Do you own this boat?" the girl suddenly and somewhat anxiously asked. "Well, I thought I did, Miss, until you arrived, but now I ain't quite sartin. I feel somethin' like Bill Slocum said he did when a bear dropped in on him one night when he was campin' out on his back medder." "What did he do?" "Oh, Bill, jist lit out an' left the bear in charge, the same as any sensible man would do."
We may as well waste no time with them. We'll leave them alone, and be thankful that Jamie is safe and well except for the burned wrists, and they'll soon be cured." "And we'll be havin' a fine time campin' here," agreed Jamie. "I wants to keep clear o' them men whatever."
"I suppose they're this here bunch what's campin' down by the brook and been runnin' all over the country to-day?" "Aye, sir, we're all campin' down handy to the brook, and we've all been lookin' for the cache, but I'm the only one that finds the rock," admitted Jamie. "You ain't camped down there now!" The man swore a mighty and strange oath that made Jamie tremble.
"Don Carlos an' his guerrillas are campin' on the trails thet lead up here. They've got them trails blocked. By to-morrer they'd hed us corralled. Mebbe they meant to surprise us. He's got a lot of Greasers an' outlaws. They're well armed. Now what do they mean? You-all can figger it out to suit yourselves. Mebbe the Don wants to pay a sociable call on our ladies.
"There's four of 'em, papa!" he shouted, all in one breath. "They're jumpin' the ranch for placer claims. They said so. Each one's got a claim, and they're campin' on the corners, so they'll be close together. They're goin' to wash gold. Good Injun " "Oh!" screamed Evadna suddenly. "Don't let him don't let them hurt him, Uncle Hart!" "Aw, they ain't fightin'," Donny assured her disgustedly.
"I thinks I'll be startin' in th' mornin' an' campin' over there Sunday, an' Monday I'll be there t' hunt. Can't un come 'long, John?" "No, I'd like t' go but I got t' see my traps. I'll have t' be leavin' ye now," said Micmac, rising. "Not t'-night?" "Yes, it's fine moonlight an' I can make it all right." "Ye better stay th' night wi' me, John. There'll be no difference in a day." "No.
Ye see some o' 'em's cut out his tongue an' tuk it along for a tit-bit at thar next campin' place. Now, as the blood that kim out o' the animal's mouth ain't been long cruddled up, thet shows to a sartinty they can't be far forrad. I reck'n I know the adzact spot whar they're squatted." "Where?" "Peecawn creek.
"Did you know this Waterman?" interrogated Dave. "Was you ever on his place?" "Well, yes; I was on his place, askin' him for work, as it might be this mornin'; an' he give me rats for campin' so near his place, as it might be las' night. Seems, it was nex' mornin' his stack was burnt, jist after sunrise. But, so help me God, I never done it." "Let it drop, Dave."
"I side-stepped. 'I gather, says I, 'you want to go campin', and you want me to pilot you? "He just beamed on having the puzzle solved so simple, 'That's it exactly, says he. "'I guessed it almost from the first, says I. 'Well, we want a team and blankets and a camp kit; that'll cost something.
