"I’ve now told you of all that’s dead," continued he, striking the ashes out of his pipe and wiping it on his bagging trousers, "but I hain’t told you yit what troubles me more than all.
"We can fix that easy 'nough; let the leftenant stay here while you go with me; I think we can explain matters to the captain and the others so they won't bother the leftenant." "And what am I to do?" asked Russell. "Push on to Sacramento as fast as you can, for though I think I can fix it, I wouldn't advise you to take too many chances."
"They are going to fire on us, leftenant!" cried Stover. "Down!" cried Amos Radbury, and the Texans had scarcely time to drop to the sheltered sides of the steeds, a favourite trick with old frontiersmen, when a volley sounded out, and the bullets whistled over their heads. Another volley followed; then, as the Texans swept closer, and fired in return, the Mexicans disappeared into the timber.

She and her Auntie Lucinda have thrown over I know not how many bottles carrying messages. It were only by mere chance yon varlet could escape coming over some of them.
I've had a necktie that has been laid away till the proper time comes to put it on. There are three or four yards of silk in it and it will knock a rainbow out of sight. I didn't want to overwhelm her too sudden like, and have been layin' back for the right occasion. "It's arriv! I must knock that leftenant out, and that necktie will do it!
Lieutenant Radbury's party had come up to the ravine at a point opposite to the cave, about half an hour before Dan attempted to make his escape. "I see nothing of the Mexicans here," he remarked to Poke Stover, as he swept the ravine from one end to the other with his well-trained eye. "No more do I see anything," answered the old frontiersman. "But they may be behind yonder rocks, leftenant.
"I say," observed his friend the "leftenant", who was looking through a telescope, "if that's not Ruby Brand I'll eat my hat without sauce!" "You don't mean let me see," cried the captain, snatching the glass out of his friend's hand, and applying it to his eye. "I do believe! yes! it is Ruby, or his ghost!"
