There was a pause in the fight, and Philip took advantage of it to address his enemy after the manner of the Greeks and Trojans. "I have got you at last, my friend, and the curse of Cromwell on you, I'd like to murder you without mercy; and if Gleeson don't come soon he'll find here nothing but dead pig. I must try to throw you somehow."
Gleenson's dog pinned a young boar, and after its legs were tied Philip agreed to stand by and guard it, while Gleeson fetched the cart. But the boar soon slipped the cord from his legs, and at once attacked his nearest enemy, rushing at Philip and trying to rip open his boots.
He set off as he spoke, and Peters looked round at Gleeson. "It's an improvement on Walker," he said. "What do you say, Tony?" "I'm on," Tony answered. "Then it's good enough," Gleeson replied; and the three followed after Palmer Billy up the rise. It was a ride of ten miles from Birralong township to Barellan, and from the Murray's selection another two miles had to be added.
"It's no white man's field, no place for us to stay only fit for I-talyans and such-like coloured labour." Gleeson turned away to Peters. "Which route are you taking?" he asked. "Over the rise," Peters answered. "It's good enough," Gleeson replied. "Oh, good enough? You bet, mister; this is a miner or I'm a rouse-about," Palmer Billy put in, with a nod towards Peters.
"Nothing of the kind; we haven't been disturbed since you and Gleeson went away. If we had, the captain would have been awake." The gentleman referred to was heard moving about overhead, and a few minutes later put in an appearance. He scolded his wife in a good-natured way for her well-meant kindness, and adding that no harm had been done, sat down to his morning meal.
He thought the trick would be unfair and mean, and lacking the sporting instinct which is the hall-mark of Australians; but the others were rather taken with it, and Palmer Billy, with more force than wit and more good luck than either insisted that Walker, as he had conscientious scruples, should come into the room behind them, an arrangement which effectually prevented a warning word being sent to Gleeson.
He told the others they could stay, if they liked, but he was off to give the festivities at Birralong the benefit of his vocal art. Peters and Tony fell in with the proposal, and started off without giving Walker time to get ahead of them and warn Gleeson to keep out of sight.
Gleeson and Files were between thirty and forty years of age, but Ward Burrell, from the lowlands of Arkansas, had rounded his half-century of existence, acquiring during the journey such a peculiar complexion that he was known as Old Bronze. Andy Wynwood, from the same State, was younger.
We ain't sharks, but you are, and we're just going to teach you something of what work is like. First you'll tell us just what your game was and who were in it. Then we'll tell you what we'll do." "You're choking me," Gleeson whined. "I can't breathe, and you're breaking my head. I never did " "What was your game?" Peters interrupted to ask. "I told you. I never meant to harm you.
There are two war correspondents here Mr. Gibbs and Mr. Ashmead Bartlett and they told me about the fighting at Dixmude last night. I must try to get Mr. Gibbs's newspaper account of it, but nothing will ever be so simple and so dramatic as his own description. He and Mr. Bartlett, Mr. Gleeson and Dr. Munro, with young Mr.
