"Let's get back quickly," said Mr Marston, "or the boy will catch cold." "Oh, it won't hurt me!" cried Tom. "Let's catch the fish first. They never get cold." "Yes: let's haul the net out first," said Dick. "Tom won't mind a ducking." "Ay, we're going to hev out the net," said Dave. "Splash away, my lad. That'll keep away the cold."
There was very little rowing done, nor was there need; the current itself took us along at racing speed. Shortly after ducking under the last ferry rope we reached the gateway to the canon.
'How do ye like the taste o' that? roared Dickon, from his post of observation. In an instant Captain Oakley was on his feet again, hatless, looking quite frantic, and striking out at Dudley, who was ducking and dipping quite coolly, and again the same horrid sound, only this time it was double, like a quick postman's knock, and Captain Oakley was on the grass again.
"Tom, you must do it!" said True Blue, turning to Marline. "It would kill Paul; I'll stay by him. We shall be taken off when the weather moderates; and if not, I'm ready to go down with him."

"The thing's illegal if it's part of a conspiracy to disrupt our work, and if we can secure proof that such is the fact it will but add one more item to the score to be settled with these San Mateo outlaws." "There are more men going there. See them?" Weir asked. "You hear them on the road ahead of us. They're ducking through the fence and crossing to the house. Our workmen.
Presently, issuing from the shelter of the pines, they came upon a bare and bowlder-dotted patch to cross which brought them plainly into view of the heights above, and almost instantly under fire.
