"There's no doubtin' the ice'll be stout enough to hold us now, whatever, and she'll be makin' thicker all day." In a few minutes the fire was crackling and snapping cheerily, and the boys drew close to its genial warmth. A kettle of ice was put over to melt for water, and some slices of seal meat to fry in the pan.
"You pray for both of us," suggested Charley. "Do it aloud so that I can hear it, and I'll say it over to myself, and maybe that will help. Don't forget to tell Him how hungry we are." "I'm not doubtin' 'twould help," agreed Toby. "We'll be takin' off our caps. 'Twill be more respectful. Mr. Stuart at the Hudson's Bay Post makes us take off our caps when we talks to he and asks he anything."
"Eli," said Doctor Joe, closing the door behind him, "may I have a word with you?" "Aye, sir," and Eli stopped. "I just wished to speak a word of warning," said Doctor Joe quietly. "Be cautious, Eli, and do nothing you'll regret. Don't be too hasty. We suspect Indian Jake, but none of us knows certainly that he shot your father or took the silver fox skin." "There's no doubtin' he took un!
De Lord's got plenty san', I ain't doubtin' dat; but nemmine, He ain't gwyne to WAS'E it jist on dat account; en I allows dat dis Desert's plenty big enough now, jist de way she is, en you can't spread her out no mo' 'dout was'in' san'." "Oh, go 'long! we ain't much more than fairly STARTED across this Desert yet. The United States is a pretty big country, ain't it? Ain't it, Huck?"
"I'm thinkin' now," said David with a more hopeful view as daylight began to filter through the tent, "that Jamie'll be knowin' how to fix a shelter, and that we'll be findin' he safe and that he'll be just losin' his way a bit in the storm. If he has matches he'll sure be puttin' a fire on." "I'm doubtin' he has the matches," suggested Andy discouragingly.
"Is you sure, now, 'twere Injun Jake does un?" asked Thomas, unwilling to believe his friend and partner capable of such treachery. By disposition Thomas was naturally cautious of passing judgment or of accusing anyone of misdeed without conclusive proof. "There's no doubtin' that!" insisted Eli. "There was nobody else to do un. 'Twere Injun Jake."
"'Tisn't so cold, if he were havin' matches to put on a fire, but I'm doubtin' he has matches." "Let us hope he had. Andy, suppose you call the others," suggested Doctor Joe. "Breakfast is nearly ready." Andy was already dressed, and hurrying out he presently returned with the other lads.
"When I climbs hills for a look around I can see deer that I'd sure to be missin' with no glasses. I'm not doubtin' the compass'll come in handy now and again in thick weather." Then there was a big box of goodies. There were such candies as they had never dreamed of oranges and big red-cheeked apples.
But she mustn't know! Promise me both of you! She will be going to bed early, and after supper I'll see you at the landing." McNabb studied the face quizzically. "Ye fooled me, all right, but I'm doubtin' ye can fool Jean." "At least, I can try," answered the clerk. "I'll see you at supper," and without waiting for a reply, he ascended the ladder that led to the fur loft. "Where is the lass?
"I'm doubtin'," in an aside, "it's all over wid him. I'll howld the lantern, Zur." "You, Blecker?" McKinstry muttered, as he opened his eyes with his usual pleased smile. "We've lost the day?" "Yes. No matter now, Mac. Quiet one moment," cutting the boot from his leg. "Not fifty of my boys escaped," a sort of spasm passing over his face. "Tell them at home they fought nobly, nobly."
