He quite forgot the messages he had received from her through the medium of the Happy Family, and he quite forgot that women could hurt a man. "Mr. Davidson," she announced severely, when the figures had all been dabbed upon the paper, "You ought to have lost. It would be a lesson to you.
Gamble chuckled so violently that he was seized by a coughing spell, and had to signal for a glass of water. "They've got a new scandal on their hands now," said Oliver. "They're a lively crowd, the Steel fellows," laughed the other. "They want to make Davidson resign, too, but he'll fight them. He knows too much! You should hear his story!"
They had been hailed by officers of Baton Rouge, acting under advice by wire from Mr. Davidson, on his way down from Natchez. The robber band had paid no attention to the officers of the law, but had continued their course. In some way the stolen craft had mysteriously disappeared that afternoon and night, nor had any word of her yet been received from points as far south as Plaquimine.
Lieutenant Davidson now saw that his only course was to commence the attack and trust to fortune and the bravery of his men.

"I never heard such a roar as it gave that time you brought down ten out of one flock of ducks on the way up here." "Ay, Peter, she barked well that time," remarked the sailor, with a grin, "but, then there was a reason. I had double-shotted her by mistake."
Recurring to this subject a few days later, young Morel asked Dan Davidson, while they were paddling back to camp together one evening with the proceeds of a day's hunt: "Has your life in the colony, since the beginning, been as bad as old McKay made it out the other day?"

Most unfortunate," he added sympathetically. The doctor was nonplussed for the moment. Here was an unexpected turn of events; he had not contemplated such a possibility, and was undecided as to his own best course of action.
