By the hooky! but they'm givin' 't us hot and strong this time, Adam: they was trampin' 'bout inside here a minit agone, tryin' to keep our sperrits up by a-rattlin' the bilboes in our ears.

Cheyenne Charlie got at work, as usual, and the foremost one dropped. "I reckon you galoots will have ter have a bigger grave dug when we git through with yer," he called out.
