As the bull stood pausing, meditating whether under such circumstances flight would not be preferable to gratified passion, Eames made a rush in at him, attempting to hit him on the head. The earl, seeing this, advanced a step also, and got his spud almost up to the animal's eye. But these indignities the beast could not stand.
Already the atmosphere had grown so frigid that ice was forming on the side of the cabin where this spud and foam dashed. Looking out upon the raging waters the boys shivered at the sight, even with scanty light from the heavenly bodies that were part of the time obscured behind masses of black clouds. It was frittering snow, and the prospect of a spell of bad weather looked very promising.
But Spud O'Malley must have experienced no such delicacy of feeling. He let go one long pent-up breath. "And may the saints protect us!" he said. "The Lake of Death outside, and inside here is purgatory itself, or I don't know my geography. But you made it, Chet, me bhoy; you made it! What a sweet little pilot you are!"
"So would I," boasted Spuddy. "You bet I would." Swipes broke into a ringing laugh. "You'd make a nice fighter, Spud," he chuckled; "you're not bigger than a minute with fifty seconds in it. Gosh, I wish something would happen. I'm tired sitting about doing nothing." His words came to Dan Jordan through a dim maze of tangled thoughts.
There was sound of shrieking voices, and Spud dropped to the floor to present as small a view as possible to the half-human things that trailed their black wings past the metal entrance; then he crept cautiously to peer around the corner, when the last one had gone. They were waiting out beyond; Spud watched them intently.
"As if that could really occur!" murmured William Philander Tubbs, with a lofty look of, disdain. "Sure it could happen," returned Spud, good-naturedly. Why, I heard of an airman who went up once and forgot how to turn his machine down, and he went around and around in a circle for sixteen hours.
Pullet, confused and overwhelmed by this revolutionary aspect of things, the tea deferred and the poultry alarmed by the unusual running to and fro, took up his spud as an instrument of search, and reached down a key to unlock the goose-pen, as a likely place for Maggie to lie concealed in.
"He's right overhead at thirty thousand," he added; "and there are more of them coming in from all sides. Now what the devil " Spud O'Malley had his hand on the voice switch. "Be quiet!" he commanded; then spoke into the transmitter
"And I wouldn't waste any sympathy on that girl," put in Spud. "She is as bad as Tubby, when it comes to cutting the fellows she doesn't care to know." "Well, I guess it will all pass over," remarked Sam. And it must have, for a few days later William Philander and Clarabel Ruggles were seen out driving together and apparently as friendly as over.
Your best girl?" "I be writin' to my own lawful mizzus," replied Spud Appleyard. "Then give her my love. Doggie Trevor's love," said Doggie, and marched away through the groups of men. At the entrance to the barn he fell in with Phineas and Mo.
