"Misser Lo," whispered Anders, on the first night after landing, as they busied themselves with the partition above referred to, "we 'scapes from dis here land very easy."
Returning to activity the scapes at once show a full development, in no way inferior to that of the allied forms, and only unstable in respect to their length.

"`You hold the sieve, says Buck, `and I'll drain the water into it; if she 'scapes from the bucket we'll have her in the sieve. And he pours the wather out of the bucket as gentle as if it was crame out of a jug. When all the wather was out he turns the bucket bottom up, and shook it.
