The Indian is, in truth, a supremely indolent being, and testifying to an utter abandonment of himself to the power of indolence over him, has often been known, when recourse solely to the chase was permitted him for the filling of his larder, to delay his steps to the forest, until the gnawing pangs of hunger should drive him there, as offering him the only plan for their appeasing.
From this time forward the opportunities for hunting and fishing became so numerous that poor Oliver was kept in a constantly bubbling-over condition of excitement, and his father had to restrain him a good deal in order to prevent the larder from being greatly overstocked. One afternoon they came to a river which their guide told them was one of the largest in the country.
And now, the booming of the wind dying down somewhat, we heard a strange and dismal wailing and therewith a sound of water afar. "O Martin!" she whispered, clasping her hands and coming nearer to me, "What is it?" "Nought to fear, comrade. But somewhere in this larder of ours is an opening or fissure, the question is where? And this I go to find out."
His simple nature was not easily open to suspicion, therefore, like all people of slow brain, this startling break in the routine of his daily life simply set him wondering. He moved round the room, and, without being aware of his purpose, lifted the curtain of turkey red, which served as a door to the rough larder, and peered in.
"Not likely: he will be in distress; he expected us an hour ago." "True, he will not sleep till we come; all right then." "How all right then?" "For our chances of a supper; a cold pasty, with a glass of claret. What think you?" "I do not feel hungry." "But I do as a hawk. I long once more to sound the Don's larder." "Do you not long more to see " "Not to-night no that is until after supper.
I should not be surprised if he had met with the blackcock; if so, we shall have an addition to our larder, for Walter is a pretty sure shot." I inquired into the nature of Walter's studies. "Faith," said Scott, "I can't say much on that head. I am not over bent upon making prodigies of any of my children.
It was a fortunate thing for Gard that the storm the great storm from which, for many a year afterwards, local events in Sark dated came when it did; two days after Bernel's visit and the replenishment of his larder. For if he had been caught bare he must have starved.
Perhaps we shall see them come back loaded with venison or a few dozen wild ducks, which will supply our larder for many days to come. Hark! I think I hear a shout. Now!" and we again shouted out. A reply immediately came through the trees. "That's Alick's voice, and I heard Robin's shriller treble," said Martin.
We saw some game, antelopes and deer, and shot a few, forming a welcome addition to our larder; but they were generally shy and kept out of reach, without wandering too far from the track. For two days we had been journeying through an entirely different country from that which we had passed.
To reach this island, upon which we were to encamp, it was necessary to cross the arm of the river, that was now dry, with the exception of deep pools, in one of which we perceived a large bull buffalo drinking, just as we descended the hill. As this would be close to the larder, I stalked to within ninety yards, and fired a Reilly No. 10 into his back, as his head inclined to the water.
