Paul thought of Captain Grigsby. "I will come in a yacht, whenever I may," he said to Dmitry. So they began to settle details. Paul imagined from Dmitry continuing to call his Queen plain "Madame" that she still wished to preserve her incognito, so, madly as he desired to know, he would wait until he saw her face to face, and then ask to be released from his promise.
Yes, he saw some boys, no older than he, doing this, and one with a grin showed him half a handful of golden specks and dirt mixed, that he evidently had scraped up! The streets had no sidewalks, and in spots were thick with dust, blown by gusts of wind. Mr. Grigsby plainly enough knew where he was going, for at last he led into a vacant square, which was the plaza.
Remember, this farm ain't paid for yet." He got up and walked over to the chest. He picked up the sharp knife he used for cutting corn. "Get your knife, Abe, and come along." Abe walked behind his father along the path through the woods. "That Mr. Swaney was right nice," he said. Tom grunted. "He is waiting to start his school until after harvest," Abe went on. "Nat Grigsby is going.
Leading the little burro, in his heavy clothing Charley soon was streaming with perspiration; before, tramped with long stride the Frémonter, a rifle on shoulder; at the rear stanchly limped Mr. Adams, well laden with gun and pistol and the few articles that he and Mr. Grigsby had divided.
He poured a little water into the fry pan, or spider, laid in a lot of chunks and strips of dried-beef or jerky, and salted it and put it on the fire. "You must have been there before," commented Mr. Grigsby. "Well, I've been a soldier, you know," explained Mr. Adams. "This is soldiers' fare; that's all."
Grigsby, who was fingering the contents of a small canvas sack, evidently the property of the horseman. "You want to see gold? Take a look at it." Following his father, Charley peeped within. The canvas sack was half full of dull yellow a yellow like the yellow which the buckskin sack had contained, in St. Louis. However, this yellow was coarser. "Flake gold," announced Mr. Grigsby.
The sun set gorgeously crimson an angry sun; the petrels, skimming the waves about the ship, twittered excitedly, and other sea-birds seemed hastening early for land. "You'd better crawl under the canvas, to-night, Charley," bade his father. "We're liable to have rain." "Where'll you sleep, then?" asked Charley. "Oh, on the deck with Mr. Grigsby. We'll find a dry spot." Mr.
Grigsby, not at all excited. "Yes. A nugget and a lot of dust besides. He said he'd help me pan, if I'd come back after supper. Can I, dad?" "Oh, I guess you can, if you have no chores," consented his father, with a smile at Mr. Grigsby. Charley had no idea that his father was such a cook. Mr. Adams went at the matter in great shape and even Mr.
"No, sir," answered the captain, shortly. "That's only Sutterville." "Do we stop?" "No, sir; we do not." "Where's Sacramento?" "Three miles above." "This must be the town old Captain Sutter's started," remarked Mr. Grigsby, surveying it narrowly. "Well, he's taken plenty of land to spread out in." And that was so, for about twenty houses were scattered along the high bank for half a mile.
To fall off would be hard which was one good thing, at least. Adams, Mr. Grigsby and Charley riding in single file after, the two pack bullocks plodding behind, and another Indian, to drive them, trudging at the rear of all. The narrow trail led first through a large tract of sugar-cane growing much higher than one's head, and forming a thick, rustling green wall on either side.
