They love to lie along the banks a few feet from the shore, where, concealed in the sand, they can dart out upon and seize their prey in their enormous "gripsack" mouths. The approach of a boat or a person walking along the sand will cause them to at once speed like lightning into deep water, leaving behind them a wake of sand and mud which is washed off their backs in their flight.
A quarter of an hour later, as they lay heaving below the ship's steel sides, he thrust a heavy buckskin sack into the lawyer's hand. "There's money to win the fight, Bill. I don't know how much, but it's enough. God bless you. Hurry back!" A sailor cast them a whirling rope, up which Wheaton clambered; then, tying the gripsack to its end, they sent it after.
Walter looked up, and his glance rested on a man of perhaps thirty- five, dressed in a light suit, and wearing a tall white hat. "No, sir," answered Walter politely, removing his gripsack from the seat. "I don't want to incommode you," said the stranger, as he took the place thus vacated. "You don't in the least," said Walter. "I suppose you are going to Chicago?" "Yes, sir."
He inserted his hand and drew out a heavy .44 Colt's revolver. Next came out a few boxes of ammunition for the revolver and several boxes of Winchester cartridges. Churchill took the gripsack and looked into it. Then he turned it upside down and shook it gently. "The gun's all rusted," Bondell said. "Must have been out in the rain." "Yes," Churchill answered. "Too bad it got wet.
He'd better keep his gripsack packed the hull time, Chet says." "I thought I'd sock it to the cuss a little," remarked Mr. Robinson in recounting the conversation subsequently; and, in truth, it was not elevating to the spirits of our friend, who found himself speculating whether or no Timson might not be right. "Where you goin' to put up?" asked Mr.
"I don't know when I have ever been so tired. It's no joke walking a dozen miles under a hot sun, with a heavy gripsack in your hand. It's a good introduction to a life of labor, which I have reason to believe is before me. I wonder how I am coming out at the big or the little end of the horn?"
If I wasn't stopped I was to drive on to Thirty-fifth Street, cut across to Madison Avenue, down to Thirty-third Street, then back to Fifth Avenue and past Thirty-fourth Street again, going uptown. The guy with the gripsack caught us first crack out of the box." "And then?" demanded the detective eagerly.
"You, Fred Churchill, go to Macdonald in his safe small gripsack belongs to Louis Bondell important! Bring it out when you come! Got it?" Churchill waved his hand in token that he had got it. In truth, had Macdonald, half a mile away, opened his window, he'd have got it, too.
"Now, what do you want to say?" Captain Scott demanded. "Tell Fred Churchill he's on the bank there tell him to go to Macdonald. It's in his safe a small gripsack of mine. Tell him to get it and bring it out when he comes." In the silence Captain Scott bellowed the message ashore through the megaphone:
Sweetwater had just come to town, this was evident from the gripsack he had set down in a corner on entering, also from a certain tousled appearance which bespoke hasty rising and but few facilities for proper attention to his person. These details counted little, however, in the astonishment created by his manner.
