The covering over with boughs fell to the share of the two lads, the shelter of the attap mats and her Malay dress seeming likely to be sufficient for Minnie's protection if they neared any Malay boat, that most dreaded being the naga whose occupants had been put to flight though even if that were encountered, the sampan was now so transformed that it was not likely to be recognised; and once more the little party were in motion, floating down towards the station, the Malay poling the boat and keeping as near as possible to the farther shore.
I dunno, though, but what I'd ha' liked to be a sojer; it's better than spendin' all yer life in a hop-garden, spuddin' and poling and hoeing." "You!" said Joey, "you a sojer, Smiler?" "Well, why not? Course, I know my back's a bit twisted, but it would ha' been right enough if I'd been drilled."
By this time a look of peace, yes, even a sort of tame joy, had replaced Dan's gloomy expression, and one could see that, in a way, he was happy. Getting out his fishing-rod from its enveloping blanket he presently emerged, recrossed the stream, and soon could be seen pushing out into the midst of it, poling an old punt up stream.
But it is a port of some importance, nevertheless, because a great deal of merchandise finds its way to the interior from there. Louis, and folds the healthy form of Captain Hudson to his breast. There is no wharf here, and we have to anchor off the town. There was a wharf, but the enterprising Mexican peasantry, who subsist by poling merchandise ashore in dug-outs, indignantly tore it up.
The Klondike was throwing a thick flow of ice, partly mush and partly solid, and swept the boat out towards the middle of the Yukon. They could see the struggle plainly from the bank, four men standing up and poling a way through the jarring cakes.
Keith, standing by his shack, knocked over a mallard within forty paces of his door. It was eight days after that first cry, "The ice is going out!" four since the final jam gave way and let the floes run free, that at one o'clock in the afternoon the shout went up, "A boat! a boat!" Only a lumberman's bateau, but two men were poling her down the current with a skill that matched the speed.
This pleased Breault, who was tired of his poling. This third night there was a new moon, and something about it stirred in Peter an impulse to run ahead and overtake those he was seeking. But a still strong instinct held him to Breault. Tonight Breault slept like a dead man on his cedar boughs.
In order to reach the camp on Lac du Sablier from the tiny railroad station at Saint Hubert, a trip of some eight miles up the decharge was necessary. The day had been when Augusta Maturity had done her share of paddling and poling, with an habitant guide in the bow.
North Poling, as I call it, must be a man's natural bent; otherwise you kill the best that's in him." "Heaven on earth, will you look! A policeman is arguing with him." Hewitt shook with laughter. "But I bought him out," protested Fitzgerald. "There's no law to prevent me selling these." "Oh, I'm wise. We want no horse-play on this corner; no joyful college stunts," roughly.
See, there is a man riding on an ice cake just as if it were a raft of wood." "Oh, so he is!" cried Hal, as he saw a man, with big boots and a long pole, standing on a glittering white ice-raft. The man was poling himself along in the water, just as Daddy Blake had pushed the boat along when he was spearing eels in the Summer.
