It was either too weak or too knotty, and meanwhile the girl's clothes were falling to pieces. Jenks tried the fibers of trees, the sinews of birds every possible expedient he could hit upon and perhaps, after experiments covering some weeks, he might have succeeded. But modern dress stuffs, weakened by aniline dyes and stiffened with Chinese clay, permit of no such exhaustive research.
Just the same, I was not going to kill him for her account; never, never! And I wished to the deuce that she'd kept clear of me. Jenks was speaking.

Then it'll be over with.
I can more easily handle the Red Cloud; even in a bad storm." "I'm glad to hear that," remarked Mr. Jenks. "It would be too bad to be wrecked before we got to Phantom Mountain."
