Each pointed in a different direction, while Rasco and Dick were of the opinion that none of them were right and that the trail led up the ravine, just as it really did. An interruption now occurred.
"Be thankful that it wasn't something worse, Hans," said Sam. "What would you do if you woke up and saw a big black bear standing beside your cot"? "I dink I cofer mine head kvick, Sammy." "But the bear might chew the cover up." "Den I vos rund for mine life und holler like sixty!" "Well, you want to keep your eyes open for bears," added Sam, thinking he scented fun ahead.
"Let me go!" came from Dick. "I have done no harm." "I dink you vos von sneak thief alretty! Stand still bis I find owit." "It's Dutch Jake!" cried Buddy Girk. "He has collared somebody in the hall.

Again came the sharp report of a pistol, and Dink dodged, as if by instinct. He wheeled in his seat and shot point-blank at Foley, but the ball imbedded itself in the side of the skiff behind and did no further damage.
In any case she felt more than equal to the task of squelching any effort at familiarity, even if Jack Fyfe were, in a sense, the convenient god in her brother's machine. Fyfe chuckled at her answer.
