"And now I think you'd better make a real getaway, and not trust to the police," said the colonel. "Maybe with the best intentions in the world, Stafford King can't save you if I happen to be jugged. And you too, Crewe," he turned to the other. "So Pinto is going, eh?" he bit his nether lip, "and that is why he promised to bring the fifty thousand to-morrow morning.
"Looks like our friend the bad man was onto his job all right," was the deputy's only comment when Alan had finished. "I'll bet he's making his getaway into the hills mighty immediate," chuckled Baker. "He can't find a bank in the mountainside to deposit that gold any too soon to suit him." "Sho! I'll bet he ain't worried a mite.
By this time the spring thaws were setting in and the snow began disappearing. Our plans now were to hold these positions at Kitsa and Maximovskaya until the river ice began to move out and then burn all behind us and make a speedy getaway, but how to do this and not reveal our plans to the enemy a few hundred yards across No Man's Land was the problem.
After this day's work it would be too small to hold him. Nothing had come out as he had planned it. The farthest thing from his hopes had been that he would have to fight his way out. He had not killed that fool Dillon of set purpose. He knew now that if his anger had not blazed out he might have made his getaway and left the fellow alive. But he had been given no time to think.
I'll sure enough let 'em see they're good guessers." Whaley shrugged his shoulders and looked at him with cold contempt. "You've got a bare chance for a getaway if you travel light and fast.

"So you intend to stick to this man Red?" "Sure! Would you quit him now, when they're after him worst?" "They will get him finally." "Mebby. But Red's pretty slick at a getaway. If they do pinch him again, that's where I come in. I'm the only witness and the only friend he's got." "Of course.
He reluctantly put his rifle down. "All right. It's your call." "Where's O'Connor?" The sheriff looked straight at him. "Haven't you enough of us for one gather?" The outlaws were closing in on them cautiously. "Not without that smart man hunter. Where is he?" "I don't know." "The devil you don't." "We separated early this morning thought it would give us a better chance for a getaway."
"They've got as much chance of overhauling us as the proverbial celluloid cat has of catching the asbestos rat," said he.

"Take a look around and see that everything's shipshape. Be sure the port and starboard watches are chosen.
Maybe they left their horses farther up the hill and walked back to them," Dave hazarded. "No-o, son. This job was planned careful. Now the hold-ups didn't know whether they'd have to make a quick getaway or not. They would have their horses handy, but out of sight." "Why not in the dry ditch back of the cotton woods?" asked Dave with a flash of light.
Or are they lookin' for you fellers?"
