The hides, and the bounty on the scalps, made a good day's work of it; but Mark swears to this day, that if the last dozen of wolves had been a little earlier, or Westcott a little later, he'd a-been driven like a buck to the water, cold as it was; and if they'd been a little earlier still, he'd have been a goner.
Not one of the occupants of the cabin boasted a pair of stockings, but the father and mother did enjoy the luxury of shoes coarse, stout brogans, untanned, and of the color of the legs which they encased. 'Well, Sandy, how is Lady? asked the Colonel, as he stepped to the bed of the wounded dog. 'Reckon she's a goner, Cunnel; the d d Yankee orter swing fur it.
"Oh, my child!" said the count, "she never pays anybody ze penny. She is a stone from which one looks in vain for blood. Your launch is what do you call it in ze Far Vest a goner!" "But she's descended from Charlemagne," cried Florence. "She has the entree to all the courts. She ought to be exposed for stealing my boat!" "What does anybody do when he is robbed?" said the count philosophically.
I went in and took a look at those two fellows. One of 'em is a goner, sure, but they're dead game, both of 'em. Neither one has a word to say." "No," answered Drummond, "they refused to give their names to me, said it was no earthly consequence what name we put over their graves, the right set of fellows would be along after a while and do them all the honor they cared for.
"Well, well, ol' boy," said the other, "by ginger, I'm glad t' see yeh! I give yeh up fer a goner. I thought yeh was dead sure enough." There was husky emotion in his voice. The youth found that now he could barely stand upon his feet. There was a sudden sinking of his forces.
"Well" said he, "Adams, you seem to stand it pretty well. I hope you and your wife are comfortable?" "Yes," he replied with a laugh; "and you may as well try to be comfortable, too, for your $500 is a goner." "All right," Barnum replied, "I hope you will grow better every day." But the case was hopeless. Adams was dying.
"All right I'll take your word for it, Dock. Tell me what's good for tin " "Aw, I knows you fellers. You t'inke Ole Dock, she Dock, she don'd know nothings! You t'ink " Weary sighed and turned to the crowd. "Which end of a jag is this?" he wanted to know. "I've got to get some uh that dope-wisdom out uh him, somehow. Patsy's a goner, sure, if I don't connect with some medicine."
And we hit him besides with the boat. I guess he's a goner!" "I'm afraid not," muttered the professor. "That was a bad blow we struck him, but I think it will only ruffle his temper. We'll have to look sharp now, boys." By this time the ship had rushed past the whale, but the boys, looking through a window in the rear of the tower could see the huge body.
The professor let off a shout and jumped for him, and straight off it was pitch-dark again, and Jim groaned out, "Po' Mars Tom, he's a goner!" and made a jump for the professor, but the professor warn't there. Then we heard a couple of terrible screams, and then another not so loud, and then another that was 'way below, and you could only JUST hear it; and I heard Jim say, "Po' Mars Tom!"
"I guess he's a goner," said a man after a few moments. "He ain't in sight nowhere." "There he is!" cried a half dozen voices all at once. A head shot into sight a few hundred yards astern, blowing the silvered water aside. The small boat, which was now afloat, immediately headed in his direction, and a moment later he was hauled aboard amid frantic cheers.
