A roar of laughter on deck announced that Bob Lumsden had found something quite to his taste. "First-rate ha! ha! I wonder if it's all true." "Hold your noise there," cried Hawkson; "who d'ee think can learn off a hymn wi' you shoutin' like a bo'sun's mate an' Duffy snortin' like a grampus?" "Ah, just so," chimed in Stubley, looking up from his board. "Why don't you let it out, David?
I've had three years' campaignin' with th' fightin', bitin' Ninth, An' never lost my temper 'till right now. I've had the yaller fever an I've been shot full of holes, I've grabbed an army mule plumb by its tail; I've never been so snortin', really highfalutin' mad As when y'u up an' hands me ginger ale!
"Something happened to drive the whales up here so thick that the hull river was alive with 'em, and of course we was for reapin' the harvest. When we struck the rip-rap as they call the tide agin' the wind it was jest alive with 'em, puffin' and snortin' on all sides.
"Come here, darn you," were the first words I heard, from the mouth of what speaker it need not be said "come here, you lazy, snortin, snoozin Decker lend a hand here right stret away, will you? We've got more perch than all of us can carry and Archer's got six wood-duck."
De Elder's gwine to call on you dis ebenin'. Ef you'd had de popoplexy in arnest, we'd make great 'lowance fer you, but wen you eat an' drink till you mos' ready to bust, and den'sturb de hull meetin' by snortin' like a 'potamus, dar's got to be trouble, an' I'se got to meet it." Uncle Sheba did as he was directed, with the feeling that the judgment day had come.
"Tarnal death to me!" said he, rubbing his eyes when Nathan shook him from his slumbers, "I war nigh gone in a dead snooze! being as how I ar'n't had a true reggelar mouthful of snortin' this h'yar no-time, considering I always took it with my hoptical peepers right open. But, I say, Nathan, what's the last news from the abbregynes and anngelliferous madam?"
Anse brought his mount up equal with the other two. Fenner spat. "Now that thar I ain’t cottonin’ to none. Ride ’long without some Injun or bandido poppin’ lead at m’back. Yep, that’s what a man kin enjoy. But I ain’t takin’ to have maybe one o’ them thar engine trains snortin’ out dirty smoke an’ sparks hereabouts. Took me a ride on one of them things onct—never agin!
"Somebody will be next door to dead right here in a minute if you don't speak up instead of snortin' like a puffin' pig. What's happened?" Isaiah swallowed, gasped and waved a desperate hand. "Let go of me!" he protested. "Zoeth he he's down in a heap on the kitchen floor. He's had a a stroke or somethin'." "God A'mighty!" cried Shadrach, and bolted out of the door.
At the bottom was a broad, open flat, quarter of a mile to timber and full of niggerheads. I knew if ever I slipped I was a goner, but I hit only the high places till you couldn't a-seen my trail for smoke. And the old devil snortin' along hot after me. Midway across, he reached for me, jest strikin' the heel of my moccasin with his claw. Tell you I was doin' some tall thinkin' jest then.
