The believers threw their white robes on over their dresses and coats, and as the pinter slowly moved round from half-past three to quarter to 4 and so on they shouted, they sung, they prayed, they shook each other's hands they wuz fairly crazed with excitement and fervor, which they called religion for they wuz in earnest, nobody could dispute that.
"What you lookin' that ar way fur?" demanded Dan. "Ain't puttin' up a job on me, be you?" David replied that he was not. "You'll take the pinter to Don an' fetch me back the ten dollars, honor bright?" continued Dan. "That is what I promised to do, isn't it?" asked David in reply. "But if I can help it you will never have the dog in your possession again," he added, mentally.
He felt mad that it hadn't struck him sooner. Pinter and Kullers had also shifted their tent down into a nice quiet place in the Bush close handy; so, early next Sunday morning, while Pinter and Kullers were asleep, Dave posted Jim Bently to watch their tent, and whistle an alarm if they stirred, and then dropped down into Pinter's hole and saw at a glance what he was up to.
Pinter straightened himself, blinking like an owl, and looked carelessly over the graveyard. 'Tryin' for a secon' bottom, he reflected absently. 'Eh, Dave? Dave only stood and looked black. Pinter tilted back his head and scratched the roots of his chin-feathers, which stuck out all round like a dirty, ragged fan held horizontally. 'Kullers is safe, reflected Pinter. 'All right? snapped Dave.
The finer gravel and the mullock goes through and down over a sloping board covered with blanket, and with ledges on it to catch the gold. The dish was mostly used for prospecting; large quantities of wash dirt was put through the horse-power 'puddling-machine', which there isn't room to describe here. ''Ello, Dave! said Pinter, after looking with mild surprise at the size of Dave's waste-heap.
I tried to get ten dollars fur you too, pap, but I couldn't do that nuther; so I brung Don Gordon's pinter along. Swum the bayou, I reckon, didn't you?" "I didn't walk acrosst, did I? In course I swum it." "Your clothes ain't wet!" "No, 'kase I went back in the woods an' built a fire an' dried 'em. Le's go back thar now, so't we kin talk. We don't want them fellers to hear us."
And the last time I heard from that field, they were boring the ground like a sieve, with the latest machinery, to find the best place to put down a deep shaft, and finding gold from the second bottom on the bore. But I'm right off the line again. 'Old Pinter', Ballarat digger his theory on second and other bottoms ran as follows:
'I wonder which shaf' she'll come down, asked Kullers in a tone befitting the place and occasion. 'You'd better go and watch your shaft, Pinter, said Dave, 'and Jim and I'll watch mine. 'I I won't, said Pinter hurriedly. 'I'm I'm a modest man. Then they heard a clang in the direction of Pinter's shaft. 'She's thrown her bottle down, said Dave.
'She's took it off! said Dave excitedly; and peering along Pinter's drive, they saw first an elastic-sided boot, then a red-striped stocking, then a section of scarlet petticoat. 'Lemme out! roared Pinter, lurching forward and making a swimming motion with his hands in the direction of Dave's drive. Kullers was already gone, and Jim well on the way.
And as my companion looked down in my face as the time approached, I could see the same thoughts that wuz writ in my eyes a-shinin' in his'n. Wall, as the pinter approached the hour, the excitement grew nearly, if not quite rampant.
