Time has passed, the two last years had been long; there had been much that was good at Sellanraa, and a deal that was not eyah, Herregud! And now here was another man clearing ground in the wilds. Isak knew the place well; it was one of the kindlier spots he had noted himself on his way up, but he had gone on farther.
The poor fellow, delirious with hunger, fancied himself engaged in mortal combat with Eyah, the god of famine, who has a mouth extending from ear to ear. Wherever he goes there is famine, for he swallows all that he sees, even whole nations!
The legend has it that Eyah fears nothing but the jingling of metal: so finally the dying man looked up into McLeod's face and cried: "Ring your bell in his face, Wahadah!" The kind-hearted factor could not refuse, and as the great bell used to mark the hours of work and of meals pealed out untimely upon the frosty air, the Indian started up and in that moment breathed his last.
"It seems rot sending two men mounted for one blooming hobo." "Eyah!" murmured Slavin with suspicious mildness, "'tis th' long toime since I have used me shtripes tu give men undher me wan ordher twice." Yorke flashed a slightly apprehensive glance at his superior's face. Then, without another word, he reached for his side-arms, bridle, and fur-coat. He knew his man.
Making vigorous signs and noises, to intimate that something was coming, and they must look out sharp, and feeling very much like a conjurer who has requested his audience to keep their eyes on him and 'see how it's done' I slyly unbuttoned my gloves, and then with much parade began to draw one off by the finger-tips. "'Eyah!
After standing for a few seconds with his eyes shut and his head thrown back, so that his pig-tail nearly touched the ground, the scene appeared to return to his memory. "Eyah!" he chuckled, and turned to go, laughing as he went. "Don't forget the letters. Uppee sleevee, old Tea-tray!" roared Dennis. Ah-Fo flirted them out once more. "Ha! ha! ha!" laughed he, and went finally away.
D'you remember when he went mad with the home- sickness? said Mulvaney, recalling a never-to-be-forgotten season when Ortheris waded through the deep waters of affliction and behaved abominably. 'But he's talkin' bitter truth, though. Eyah! 'My very worst frind from beginnin' to ind By the blood av a mouse was mesilf!
Earlier in the evening there had been a Big Eating at Opata's, and now the men were dancing. "'Eyah, eyah! they sang. "Taku-Wakin whirled like a spark into the ring. 'Eyah, eyah! he shouted, "'Great are the people They have found a sign, The sign of the Talking Rod! Eyah! My people! "He planted it full in the firelight where it rocked and beckoned. 'Eyah, the rod is calling, he sang.
"A quare chap is Yorkey," he continued gently shielding a match-flame and puffing with noisy respiration "a good polisman knows th' Criminal Code from A tu Z eyah! but mighty quare. I misdoubt how th' tu av yez will get along." He sighed deeply, muttering half to himself, "I may have tu take shteps this time! . . ." A rather ominous beginning, thought George.
Maybe the man has been in prison, and is looking for a place to hide; or a philosopher, maybe, in search of peace. This or that, he comes; the figure of a man in this great solitude. He trudges on; bird and beast are silent all about him; now and again he utters a word or two; speaking to himself. "Eyah well, well...." so he speaks to himself.
