Wherefore Limpy had a grievance and now descended under pressure to the low level of snitching to Dodge in his office. "No, Governor," the trembling wretch had said as he handed over a grimy envelope, "I ain't never seen his face but here is directions how to find his hang-out."
There was better light here; the trail was less narrow and steep; they could look down and see the light in the cabin. Later they were to know just what had been Sanchia Murray's quick reply to their move. And then they were to know, too, where Jim Courtot's hang-out had been during these last weeks in which he had seemed to vanish.
We had not gone very far before one of the three men, who appeared to be the leader, paused. "Take him to the hang-out," he ordered gruffly. "I'll have to report to the Chief." He disappeared down toward the shore of the harbor while the others prodded me along. Down near the Dodge dock, along the shore, walked a man wearing a broad-brimmed hat and a plain suit of duck.
"We'll drift past the Red Wing Club; it's a hang-out of mine and I want to talk further with you," said Donnelly. They turned back towards the heart of the city, stopping a moment while the Chief directed O'Connell to keep a close watch upon Narcone.
"Well then, we'll get down to business and to-night's business. You know the back entrance to Malay John's hang-out?" Smarlinghue's eyes widened a little in a startled way. He nodded his head. "Very good," said Clancy gruffly. "You'll have no trouble in getting in there. And once in there you'll have no trouble in getting up to Malay's private den.
When the proprietor heard of the incident he sent for me. He told me that I was a nuisance and bade me find another "hang-out" for myself. The following month or two constitute the most wretched period of my life in America. I slept in the cheapest lodging-houses on the Bowery and not infrequently in some express-wagon. I was constantly borrowing quarters, dimes, nickels.
She heard a furious wrangle between Salted-Mouth, otherwise Drink-without-Thirst, and that rascal Pere Colombe. There was a thief of a landlord who wanted one to pay for what one had not had! Yet one was not at a gangster's hang-out. Suddenly there was a scuffling, yells were heard and tables were upset.
He early learns throughout his wakeful moments what I'd deescribe as his business hours to make the Red Light a hang-out; it's the nosepaint he's hankerin' after, for in no time at all Bowlaigs accoomulates a appetite for rum that's a fa'r match for that of either Huggins or Old Monte, an' them two sots is for long known as far west as the Colorado an' as far no'th as the Needles as the offishul drunkards of Arizona.
The custom of the woolly heads of burying their dead in the sea did not tend to discourage the sharks from making the adjacent waters a hang-out. It was my luck to be coming aboard in a tiny, overloaded, native canoe, when the thing capsized. There were four woolly heads and myself in it, or rather, hanging to it. The schooner was a hundred yards away.
"And now," she mused sleepily when at last she lay down upon heaped-up pine-needles and drew over her the blanket Norton had brought, "I am going to sleep in the hang-out of Jim Galloway and the old home of the cliff-dwellers! Whereupon she blew out her lantern, smiled faintly at the stars shining upon her, sighed wearily and went to sleep.
