"What foolishness is this?" he said, eying the dripping drum. "Sure, Colonel," said McCann, swinging it on his back, "we'd have no heart in us at Kaskasky widout the rattle of it in our ears.

He paused opposite the shaft with the windlass, and hailed the boy in his usual form of salutation. "Look, see here Isley!" "What is it, Bob?" "I seed a young why magpie up in the scrub, and yer oughter be able to catch it."
