Lowington bowed, and descended to the cabin to finish his supper, which had been interrupted by the event described. What the professors said about the affair was not known to the boys; but Shuffles was warmly praised for the moderate but skilful measures he had used in the capture of the rebels.
"I k-k-know; that's the c-c-clog," Toby interrupted them to remark. "Just what it was," Trapper Jim admitted. "A clog, was it?" Bandy-legs continued; "but what's the use of it?"
