Keep ask say `Are you suah? `Are you suah? Pomp going run away and lib in de tree. Nobody b'leeve Pomp." "Yes, some one does," I said, as I sat down beside him in the darkness; and for the first time I noticed that we were close to the tarpaulin and canvas spread over the powder-kegs. "No. Nobody b'leeve Pomp. Um wish Injum come and kill um."
The thought of getting again under my mother's wing was as welcome as my desire to get away from it had been eager. At night my dreams were haunted by all sorts of horrible fire-works, where old gentlemen sat down on powder-kegs, etc. Oh, for home! I knew there were no widows in my native village, except Widow Green, and I was not afraid of her.
"If one did," I said to myself as I approached timidly, for I knew now that I was opposite to the little heap of powder-kegs that had been brought out of the magazine with so much risk, and were lying covered over with canvas and a tarpaulin, whose surface was being kept wet. "The powder, Morgan?"
After a frightful storm of tongues, and much bustle but no work, the impatient steamer begins to waggle her screw; powder-kegs and dwarf boxes are tossed overboard, and every attention is bestowed upon them; whilst a boy or two is left behind, either to swim ashore or to find a 'watery grave. Here Bishop Payne had his head-quarters, and his branch missions extended sixty miles up-stream.
On the pine table stood a candle, and its dim light revealed "the boys" sitting here and there on bunks, candle-boxes, powder-kegs, etc. They said: "Sh ! Don't speak he's going to commence." I found a seat at once, and Blaine said: 'I don't reckon them times will ever come again. There never was a more bullier old ram than what he was.
