"No, we're not. I'll find a way to get the boy out," announced Ned, in a voice of stern determination. There was no laughter in his face now. Purpose was written in every line of it. "Come here, you lazy redskin, you," he commanded, which summons Eagle-eye obeyed reluctantly. "What are you going to do?" demanded the Professor. "Help!" came a wail from the unhappy Chunky. "We're coming. Keep quiet.
"There," answered the Indian, pointing up the bank whence they had just come. The boys looked at each other in wondering silence. "What do you think is the meaning of the visit, Eagle-eye?" asked the Professor. The Shawnee shrugged his shoulders. "Mebby hungry." "That is a sensible explanation of the visit," decided Professor Zepplin.
"I never supposed there were such cowards among the red men." Tad handed his rope to Eagle-eye, at the same time telling the fellow what he was to do. The party then scrambled down the rocks, soon finding themselves on more secure footing by the side of the roaring stream.
Master Tad is down in the canyon and from the present outlook he is liable to remain there for some time. Any of you think of a plan that will help us? Here, Eagle-eye, perhaps you can tell us how to get that young gentlemen out of there." The Indian shrugged his shoulders indifferently. "Him stay. Spirits git um bymeby." "You stop that kind of talk," commanded Ned.
He straightened up and strode over to the Professor upon being called. "You sure the mule is dead?" "Mule no pack more." "Can you get down there to gather up our belongings?" Eagle-eye shook his head. "No get um." "Why not?" interjected Walter. "Pony fall in Injun fall in," grunted the Shawnee.
Like a man who has chambered his difficult way to the top of a rocky eminence, but who, once he has reached the summit, perceives an easier path, and directs his companions along its gentler slopes, and gives them a helping-hand to lift them over the final obstacles; it was by giant struggles over the debris of crumbling hopes, and through jungles of despair, and up the cliffs of apparent impossibility, that Bunyan forced his way to the pinnacle of his eventual joy; but no sooner was he standing there, than his eagle-eye detected the easier path, and he made it the business of his benevolent ministry to guide others into it.
And is not this a "consummation devoutly to be wished?" Thy spirit, Independence, let me share; Lord of the lion-heart, and eagle-eye! Thy steps I follow with my bosom bare, Nor heed the storm that howls along the sky! Are not these noble verses? They are the introduction of Smollett's Ode to Independence: if you have not seen the poem, I will send it to you.
An English gentleman, who has opportunities of knowing much of her, lately said to me: "Her Majesty has an eagle-eye; she sees everything sees everybody sees through everybody."
"The first question is, what has become of Eagle-eye," interrupted the Professor. "That's so. I had forgotten about him," said Tad. The lads looked at each other questioningly. The same thought was in the mind of each. "You you don't suppose " muttered Walter. "Of course! That's it! It's Eagle-eye!" exclaimed Ned. "Don't be too quick to accuse anyone, young gentlemen.
On down the long, sloping trail they trudged until at last they reached the point where they were obliged to get down on all fours to clamber the last fifteen feet of precipitous rocks. Eagle-eye halted, standing rigid, gazing off across the gorge. "Well, what are you waiting for?" demanded the Professor. "Come along. We shall need you." "Me stay." Professor Zepplin was angry.
