"Ye're bearing too much to the lift; so much so indaad that if ye kaap on ye'll find yersilf lift." "Why, I was about to turn a little more in that direction," replied the astonished Fred; "you are altogether wrong." But the other sturdily insisted that he was right, and he was so positive that he stopped short, and refused to go another step in the direction that his friend was following.
G. Piggott Moodie when he was Surveyor-General, in lieu of salary which the Republic was unable to pay. This was the beginning of the prospecting era which opened up De Kaap, Witwatersrand, and other fields; but it was a small beginning, and for some time nothing worth mentioning was discovered. The Republic was again in a bad way, and drifting backwards after its first spurt.
"Niver fear, niver fear," said Mickey, with a wave of his hand and a magisterial shake of the head. "The spalpeens have got enough of climbing up there for a while. They've gone off on a hunt through the cavern for the place where you crawled out, and they'll kaap at that till morning, and then, if there's no show for 'em, they'll come back, and begin to fool around the rope again."
I'll heave over one of these settaas, and that'll kaap up afloat." "Be quick about it, Tim," urged Elwood, who was beginning to get nervous. "See, the fire is spreading, and everybody seems to have found out what the matter is." There was indeed no time to be lost.
"If that gintleman begins the serenade from the other side, it's me bounden duty to kaap it up from this," concluded the Irishman, as he cocked his rifle and awaited his chance. It was not long in coming. Only a few minutes had passed after the shot, when a couple of Apaches walked rapidly to view, and, approaching the remains of their comrade, stooped down to carry him away.
Favored by the darkness, they crept carefully along over the rocks and boulders, and through the vines and vegetation, until they were so close that the man halted. "Do ye mind and kaap as still as a dead man, for we're so close now that it won't do to go any closer till we know what the spalpeens are doing."
That was all well enough if the bull should happen to follow the programme, but the prospect of his doing so was too remote to afford much comfort to the youth. "I guess I'll kaap erict like a gintleman," he concluded, "and as soon as a chance comes for me to jump off, I'll go."
The Irishman hastily explained what had taken place, and added: "I don't know what they will do next, but we've give the spalpeens a dose that will kaap them in the background for a while." "No, it won't, either," was the significant response. "What do you maan, me laddy?" "I mean that the Apaches, or some of them, anyway, have changed their base.
"I s'pose it's going yet," reflected Mickey, after listening several minutes, "and no doubt it will kaap on till it comes out somewhere in Chiny, which I've been told is on t'other side of the world. Now, why could n't we do the same?" he asked himself, with a sharp turn of the voice. "If that stone is on its way to Chiny, why can't we folly on after it?
"Our only chance is to jump overboard this very minute, before the sea is full of the poor fellows. They'll begin to go over the ship's side and will kaap it up until the thing is burned up." "It's time then that we hunted our life-preservers," said Howard. "Git out wid yer life-presarvers!" impatiently exclaimed Tim. "Didn't me uncle wear one of 'em for six months, and then die with the faver!
