She even said, "Master Noll, don't 'e think as 'ow th' ale be gettin' flat downstairs? It wunna be wuth drinkin' if y'ain't sharp."
On the other hand you must remember that a paddle-driven canoe travels much faster than a merely drifting one; and that we ourselves, assuming that we are on the right way, all day have been shortening the distance that a search-party would have to travel. We ought to have met some time ago. I think we shall have to turn back in the morning." "Must we?" asked the girl.
The sergeant's bound to discover our escape at breakfast-time, and a search-party will be sent ashore immediately." "It will be light in an hour or two," observed Alzura cheerfully "at least light enough for us to find the track again.
