Frequently it struck altogether, and only consented to resume work after a good deal of gentle and persuasive threatening to wind it the wrong way. It had chronic internal complaints, too, which produced sundry ominous clicks and sounds at certain periods of the day. These passed off, however, towards evening.
"Three or four clicks were heard as the sailor struck his flint against the steel lid of the tinder-box. "'All right, yer honour, he said, 'I have got the spark.

"'Are you ready, fore and aft? I asked.
He may be this moment marshaling all his Indians to surround us." "Wait. Let a light first be made." Saint-Castin and his companion heard the clicks of flint and steel; then an instant's blaze of tinder made cracks visible over their Heads. It died away, the hurried, wrangling men shuffling about. One kicked the platform. "Here is a cover," he said; but darkness again enveloped them all.
He seemed so calm and content that in those moments of emergency Bart almost shrank from speaking, knowing, as he did, how terrible would be the effect of his words.

There was something sinister in the wolf-pack's noiseless pursuit.
