The job of wiping out these troublesome whites had been sublet, and they wasted no further anxiety over the affair. This indifference irritated the outlaw exceedingly. "Damn siwashes!" he grumbled. "Look out!" warned Alfred. The dead-line was overpassed. Swaying tufts of vegetation marked the rapid passage of eel-like bodies.
Time and again had these simple arcadian airs been sung as a prelude to some tribal act that would not bear the search-light of civilisation little by the Indians east of the Rockies, for they have hard hearts and fierce tongues, but much by the Shuswaps, Siwashes, and other tribes of the Pacific slope, whose natures are for peace more than for war; who, one antique day, drifted across from Japan or the Corea, and never, even in their wild, nomadic state, forgot their skill and craft in wood and gold and silver.
He returns from his "hootch-hunt" to complete the shack, and finds Annie overseeing some "Siwashes" put a pole roof on it. Of course he promotes a race-war immediate, playing the white "open" and the red to lose, so to speak, when she up an' spanks his face, addressing expurgated, motherly cuss-words at him like he'd been a bad boy and swallered his spoon, or dug an eye out of the kitten.
"They climbed to the balcony, and we were well, we were undressing," she said to Richard, "and here they were hammering and yelling like like Siwashes!
