"We'll take half of what you've got and pay you double price for it." "What!" came from Giant and Whopper, but Snap merely shook his head and winked at them, and then they said no more. "That's a fair deal, isn't it?" asked Giles Faswig, oilily. "You'll make a clean dollar and a half by the operation." "We don't want your money," said Snap, decidedly. "Eh?" came from both men.

Milt Baker surely would have remained of all the crowd of idlers, gaping oilily at the visitor across the top of the rusty stove, had not a shrill feminine voice been heard outside the store, "Is Milt Baker there? Ain't none o' you men seen him? Land sakes! he's as hard to hold as the greased pig on Fourth o' July an' jest 'bout as useful."

The steerage promenade-deck, iron-sided, black-floored, ending in the iron approaches to the galley at one end and the iron superstructures about a hatch at the other, was like a grim swart oilily clean machine-shop aisle, so inclosed, so over-roofed, that the side toward the sea seemed merely a long factory window.

Racey removed his eyes from the slack-chinned countenance of the saloon-keeper to thin-faced, foxy-nosed Luke Tweezy. Luke's little eyes met his. "You saw this stranger, Luke?" he asked. Luke Tweezy nodded. "We all saw him." "He was playing draw with Honey Hoke and Peaches Austin and me," Doc Coffin offered, oilily. "And the stranger?" amended Racey.

It was a very Lethe of a river, running oilily and with a slumberous sound, and its reputation for crocodiles was vile. Mills sat down and began to pull off his boots. "As well here as anywhere," he said. "I'll try it, anyhow." "I go back now," said the Frenchman. "Some day I come up an' see you, eh? You like that?"

Finding no sympathy by taking this attitude, his manner changed abruptly and he attempted to bluster. A decisive movement toward the telephone on the part of Locke checked this and, chameleon-like, Balcom's usual suave manner came to the fore. He bowed himself out. "It will, of course, be as you say." He smiled oilily.

The sight of swirling waters that surged upward from the sides and spread oilily over the lowering surface proved that the leaks were too serious to be completely checked, and it was necessary to do something else. "Have to send divers over and try to plug those leaks," he announced and stared doubtfully at the panting crew. Gordon asked some questions of Rolfe, then stepped beside the skipper.

But the native could not see his eyes at that instant, although he tried to. He looked back at the train, giving the man a good chance to study his face in profile. "Oh, thank you, sir!" said the native oilily. "You are most kind! I am your humble servant, sir!" King nodded good-by to him, his dark eyes in the shadow of the khaki helmet seeming scarcely interested any longer.
