"You see the young nippers, Jerry?" said the old prizefighter; who always got narvous, as you might say, though scarcely alarmed, when they got out of sight and hearing; even if it was for no more time than what an egg takes. "Jist a step beyond the archway, Mosey," said Mr. Alibone. "Paddlin' and sloppin' about with the water off o' the shore-pump. It's all clean water, Mrs.
I soon overhauled the critter, and picked up my rifle to give him a settler, when I found that in paddlin' I had spattered water into the canoe, wettin' the primin' and makin' the gun of no more use than a stick. I didn't understand much about the natur of the beast then, and thought I'd run him down, and drown him, or knock him on the head.
Well, I'd got the main- halliards led aft to where I was sittin', and as they closed, I gently sways the sail up, a few inches at a time, and keeps grad'lly away, until we was all spinnin' away dead to the south'ard, they paddlin' like fury, and I just keepin' far enough ahead to be out of range of their harrers.
Well, then we had the rixual, and and why, the teeny little paddlin' he got wouldn't hurt a flea! It was that little coloured boy lives in the alley did it he isn't anyways near HALF Georgie's size but Georgie got mad and said he didn't want any ole nigger to paddle him.
"I knowed I couldn't git back home 'fore dat spit dried, an' I be'n figgerin' how I could peacify my mammy so's to miss dat beatin'. I figger of I mek a quarter or hahf a dollar an' gin it to 'er, she mebbe forgit de paddlin'. So I take de bahsket an' foller 'em down to de water front. W'en we git dere dey was a sailor waitin' fer 'em wid a boat f'm de cutter.
That rattlesnake wasn't many yards away from you, an' if you'd bin bit I dunno what I should ha' done. Thar ain't no good in hangin' around after that lynx, whatever its colour. Why shouldn't we quit?" "Where would you go, Rube?" Kiddie inquired. Rube looked out across the lake. "I got a idea of paddlin' across an' makin' camp in one of them cañons," he said. "Tut!" objected Kiddie.
"Yes, a big one, with four warriors in it, an' they're comin' straight across to the main camp, paddlin' like the strong men they are." "Yes, I can see them clearly now, as they come nearer the middle of the stream. That would be a good canoe for us, Sol. It looks big enough." "But I'm afraid we ain't goin' to hev it, Henry.
Another moment, and the canoe was checked by Fergus, who had stepped into the water to prevent its being injured against the stones. "You better gie me the paddle, Archie, an' sit beside Little Bill. It iss tired o' paddlin' you will be by now." "But where is Dan?" asked Archie as he complied with this request.
Out on Wabash last winter snow deep two days in de snow paddlin' on de ribber hab 'em hid 'long de shore sometime lose 'em." "How did you get them in these different places? Carry them there yourself?" "Made 'em knowed want use 'em made 'em and hid 'em." The young soldier was about to speak, when the Huron motioned for him to maintain his peace.
"You're right," said Tom Ross, "an' ef I ain't mistook that man an' that canoe are in trouble. Half the time he's paddlin', half the time he's bailin' her out, an' all the time he's making a desperate effort to git to land." The others were now up and awake, and they gazed with intense interest. "It's a white man in the canoe ez shore ez I'm a livin' sinner!" exclaimed Shif'less Sol.
