Through the darkness there loomed a figure which appeared to be of gigantic size, and a hoarse voice, issuing apparently some distance above the heads of the party, broke roughly on the silence of the night.
He was pretending great fear, and was shouting out in his loose minstrel voice: "Hey, don' shoot down dis way, black man, tull I makes my exit!"
