At last Campbell saw several of them seizing their spears and making ready to throw them, so he fired one of his barrels; and Davy stood up in the boat and gave a cooee that might have been heard at Sunday Island, for when anything excited him on the water he could be heard shouting and swearing at an incredible distance.
And if you go to a picnic, just when the fun commences you have to nick off home and milk, and when you tog yourself on Sunday evening you have to undress again and lay into the milking, and then you have to change everything on you and have a bath, or your best girl would scent the cow-yard on you, and not have you within cooee of her.
"See that tall tree, broken with the bough dangling?" the Hermit asked, pointing some distance ahead. Billy nodded. "Come back to that and cooee, and we'll answer you." "Plenty!" said Billy, shouldering the bags of fish, and departing at a run. Billy had learnt early the futility of wasting words. "Come along," said the Hermit, laughing.
Jan. 16. On returning, we found our party encamped about four miles lower down the river than where I had left them. Just at the moment we were preparing to shoot the bullock, we heard the cooee of a native, and in a short time two men were seen approaching and apparently desirous of having a parley.
"Well, now, in considering this case there are two points about young McCarthy's narrative which struck us both instantly, although they impressed me in his favour and you against him. One was the fact that his father should, according to his account, cry 'Cooee! before seeing him. The other was his singular dying reference to a rat.

Gilbert's death; up to which time we had travelled more than a thousand miles, without any great misfortune. At the commencement of our journey, the cooee of my companions, who were driving the bullocks and horses after me, had generally called me back to assist in re-loading one of our restive beasts, or to mend a broken packsaddle, and to look for the scattered straps.

"But, Cooee " "Aren't you glad to see me?" Ethel demanded. "Certainly. You are always a dear; but I wish I had known you were coming." Ethel raised her brows, and a slight edge came into her voice.
"There was, too!" he contradicted, with an explosiveness which irresistibly reminded Weldon of their kindergarten days. "What makes you think so?" "I don't think. I know." "How do you know?" Weldon asked listlessly. "Alice Mellen told me," Carew replied conclusively. "Told you what?" "That Cooee Dent is in love with you." From his superior knowledge, Weldon stared disdainfully up at him.
"You'll have to live up to your reputation now," the Dandy said, and, brave in the knowledge that he was within cooee, I ordered the old men about most unmercifully, leaving little doubt in their minds that "missus was big mob cheeky fellow." They were most deferential all day, and at sundown I completed my revenge by offering these rulers of a nation the insult of a woman's protection.
