Adams the outsider having gone off disappointed. "I think we've got a good boat; but I've had a fight to keep it. If Maria hadn't have stayed, I'd have been thrown out, long ago." "When do we start?" asked Charley. "Whenever Francisco comes back." "Do you reckon we'll have time to eat?" queried Mr. Grigsby. "Yes. And that might be a good plan, too."
"You're accused of attempting to cut that boat down, last night, along with the persons who were in it," answered the man with the goatee. "Who accuses me?" "I do," said Mr. Grigsby, shortly. "It's a lie," retorted the long-nosed man, with an oath. "I wasn't up here. I was down below, keeping dry." "Here's your knife," pursued Mr. Grigsby, holding it out. The long-nosed man laughed sneeringly.
However, the river brought nothing; and when they all had finished breakfast and went out together to inspect the river again, it proved still vacant of the dug-out, and of Maria and Francisco. "I vow!" chafed Mr. Adams. "This is too bad." Mr. Grigsby seated himself on the bank. "I don't wish any snake harm that doesn't deserve it," he said.
Carson nearly lost his feet, by cactus, and Beale was laid up for a year. During the war San Diego was no easy place to get into, or out of, either." "Where's the mission?" asked Mr. Adams. "The first of the California missions was here, wasn't it?" "It used to be in town, before there was any town, they say," answered Mr. Grigsby. "That was 1769.
They were in flannel shirts and boots and coarse trousers belted about with pistol and knife, and were laden with baggage rolls. Evidently they, too, were off to the mines; perhaps by the Mary Ann. "That must be the schooner, out yonder I can see Mary Ann on her stern," spoke Mr. Grigsby. "And I reckon that's her boat coming in."
He called shrilly; whereupon the three other boatmen promptly shouldered the baggage and started for him. "Angel evidently has fixed us out," asserted Mr. Adams, as with Charley and Mr. Grigsby he followed. "If he has he deserves his name," answered the Frémonter.
Above it circled and circled huge vultures; and although these were high in the air, he and his party were higher yet! "I smell salt water!" exclaimed Mr. Grigsby. "We're at the Pacific slope!" Charley sniffed; he heard his father sniffing; but he must admit that Mr. Grigsby's nose was better than theirs.
Cleopatra, he called her one day, and I fancy that was the keynote she must have been one of those exceptional women we read of in the sixth form." "And fortunately never met!" said Captain Grigsby. "I don't know," mused Sir Charles. "It might have been good to live as wildly even at the price.
A rude sign announced the title "Woodchuck's Delight." "We'll camp, too, I reckon," he quoth, dropping his pack; and Charley was glad to hear the words. "How are you?" greeted Mr. Grigsby to the nearest miners, as he turned to unpack the burro. "Howdy, strangers? Where you from and where you going?" "Just coming in, or have you made one pile?" "That's a burro, ain't it? Will you sell him?"
"Hello, Charley," greeted his father, cheerfully. "Had a good time? Phew, but it was hot on shore! You didn't miss much. Lend a hand, will you, and help us carry this truck into the cabin?" "You must have been in the water," remarked Mr. Grigsby, keenly noting Charley's wet, salty hair. Charley tried to smile, but it came hard.
