The English voices of the chatting men crouched upon their beasts' withers or sprawling on the limbers, the trampling and snorting of the horses, the sharp signal-whistles of the leaders, the curt utterances of command, mingled with the stream of thought that raced through the busy brain of Bough Van Busch.
"Then you mean that you are going to help search for them?" asked Mr. Hazlett. "With all my heart, sir!" said the rough commander. "I have boys of my own back in New England. We'll comb this island rock by rock, and if we suspect foul play we'll blow every native village off the face of it!" The hoarse roar of the Bennington's deep-throated signal-whistles echoed along the rock-bound shore.
