"I believe they are quite ignorant of who you are," returned Jack, with gravity. "But some ob 'em done seed me ober dar at Massa Roebach's camp. Yas, sah! I reckernize one o' dem Injuns de short feller behin' dat tree close up yere. Gollyation! he jest fired dat shot dat come purt nigh hittin' Buttsy." "He's trying to kill that Shanghai, Wash," said Jack, wickedly. "That's what he's trying to do."
"How fortunate that we are not afoot, then," Professor Henderson remarked. The next moment the two sleds shot around the wooded point and the river below lay before them. The bears were galloping after the party and shut off all way of escape to the rear. "Oh, gollyation! Looker dat mess ob b'ars!" shrieked Washington White. And there was a good reason for the black man's terror.
The boys remained on deck a few minutes longer. "We certainly are getting our share of adventures," remarked Jack. "I should say so," answered Mark. "Gollyation yes!" exclaimed Washington. "You-uns done most been eat by dat air koslostrous specimen ob a parralleledon! I'm glad I didn't go. But I'se brave enough!" "What's that?" asked Mark suddenly, pointing to an object floating on the water.
From that standing posture he executed in the twinkling of an eye a swift back somersault, at least twenty feet from the ice! "Oh, gollyation! I'se a goner!" he yelped, as he described his surprising parabola through the air.
Gollyation! dis chile hoped de walkin' would be good out oh Alaska. He an' Buttsy jest erbout made up deir minds dat dey wouldn't fly no mo'. Fac' is, I had some idea ob clippin' Buttsy's wings so dat he couldn't fly no mo'!" "You can walk if you want to," said Mark, crossly; "but I want to get away from this part of the country just as soon as ever I can.
"If the length of the day on this island in the air was as long as the earth's day, the sun might melt the ice so rapidly that we would be washed off this wall and drowned in the abyss." "Gollyation! We's done for den, fo' suah!" groaned Washington White.
"For de goodness gracious Agnes' sake!" gasped the negro, "yo' suahly ain't a-gwine ter dribe me ter wo'k up in disher flyin' contraption? Dat would suah be cruelty ter animiles, boy it. suah would!" "We've got to eat, Wash," said Jack, chuckling, "and you are steward and cook of this craft." "Gollyation! did I ship fo' sech wo'k? I nebber knowed it.
Slowly it went at first, but, as the professor admitted more steam, it revolved the long screw until it fairly hummed in the shaft. "Hurrah! It works!" cried Mark. "It does!" chimed in Jack. "Gollyation! She suttinly am goin'!" yelled Washington. "I think we may say it is a success," said the professor calmly, yet there was a note of exultation in his voice.
"Come here, Wash quick!" ejaculated Jack, with sudden inspiration, and the darkey, used to obeying orders without question, scrambled up and started toward the boy. With a roar that brought every other person save the old hunter to his feet, the huge bear swung both front paws to grab the negro. Wash escaped the embrace by the breadth of a hair. Bang! spoke Andy Sudds' rifle. "Gollyation!
"The poor old Snowbird cannot be repaired in a hurry, that is sure," muttered Mark. "And this is no place to remain for fun," agreed Jack. "Suppose the walls of the crack should shut together where would we be?" "Just about here, for fair!" said Phineas Roebach, grimly, while Washington uttered a most mournful wail. "Gollyation! Is we gotter be squeeged ter deaf in disher awful cavernarious hole?
