"Das true," remarked the old woman, with another hilarious laugh. "Dey go hoff awful quick dis day."
"No, some o' dem pyrits not so bad as each oder. You let 'em alone; me let you alone." This gentle intimation that Meerta had their lives in her hand, induced Sam to ask modestly what she would have him do. "Go," she replied promptly, "take rifles, swords, an' poodre. Hide till pyrits go 'way. If de finds you fight. Better fight dan be skin alive!"
