This time Byng caught the dog in time and held him back, leaving Curley Crothers to finish matters by making the long knife prize of war. Once more he helped the Arab on his feet, smiling hugely and gentling the iron sinews with huge paws that could have wrenched them all apart if need be.
He had a little barley in his haggard, some of which he was from time to time taking privately out of the stack to keep himself and his family from dying of starvation, although Curley Buckley, his landlord's driver, had put a cross and keepers on it.
Curley, and you are entitled to look to me for compensation. I" he hesitated an instant "I I hope the money may be recovered, otherwise " "Eh?" inquired Mr. Haines sharply. "Otherwise," the old lawyer went on with an effort, "I am afraid I shall have a great deal of difficulty in raising so large a sum." "The hell you are!" said Mr. Haines uncharitably, and leaned forward over the table.
One night it was perhaps a week after Jeremy's capture, and they had been sighting low bits of land on both bows all day Dave Herriot came on deck about the middle of the watch and told Curley, the Jamaican second mate, he might go below. He set Job to take soundings and, himself taking the tiller, swung her over to port with the wind abeam.
"Will Curley had somehow got himself a brand-new Stetson, in celebration of th' occasion, an' when Barry said, in Injun talk, 'John, this is Will Curley, Old John he never moved a muscle, but his eyes looked like forked lightnin'. You know, Curley is a Crow th' perpetual enemy of th' Sioux an' in addition t' that, Curley he was a scout for th' whites.
Having folded the papers as though they were to be placed in an envelope, Sudden held the verses out to Johnny. "As riders," he observed judicially, "I know just about what you boys are worth to me. As poets and singers, I doubt whether the Rolling R can find use for you. What capacity do I find you in, Curley? Director of the orchestra, or umpire?"
But in either case, it was neither Curley nor Haines who would suffer it was old Grenville, who, if the funds were stolen and not recovered, would have to make the amount good out of his own pocket, and who, as all who knew old Grenville knew well, would unhesitatingly do so at once if it took the last cent that pocket held.
The Puncher split the waves and spewed them twenty feet above her, racing head-on for the reef, and Curley Crothers was too busy at his wheel to pass the pilot the surreptitious insult he intended. The gongs clanged presently, and the Puncher swallowed half her speed at once, giving the pilot courage. "This exceedingly damn dangerous place, sah!" he remarked.
Anvik stood against a rock, his blanket drawn about him, the muzzle of a rifle protruding from the lower end of it. Four men appeared in the open, each holding a rifle. The rifles were aimed at the members of the Pony Rider outfit. "It's Darwood!" gasped the Professor. It was Darwood, accompanied by Sam Dawson, Dill Bruce and Curley Tinker.
Old Gall he walked slowly over t' Curley, with a walk that made me think o' nothin' else on earth but a painter, an' when he got t' Will he paused, with everybody holdin' their breath t' see what'd happen, an' then it did happen! "Th' old man reached out an' took that brand-new Stetson off Will Curley's head, an' shook it an' knocked it on all sides, an' put it on his own head an' walked away.
