Being persons of wealth, they supped ashore and went to a moving picture show, and afterwards, since no one had had his full allowance of sleep for the past two nights, "hit the hay," in Perry's phraseology, in short order and slept like so many logs until sun-up. "I wish," remarked Han at breakfast the next morning, "that we were just starting out instead of going home." "Me too," agreed Perry.
There was no mistaking that falcon-face. It was the Gentleman. "Who's there?" peering suspiciously. "Boy Hoad, powder-monkey o the Dreadnought." "Is that the Dreadnought?" sharply. "Dreadnought, forty-four. Oi'm drownin, sir. Take us in." His hand was on the boat's gunwale. "What the deuce you doing here?" "Desartin, sir. They was for floggin me at sun-up." "What for?" "For for fun." "For what?"
Jarvis tried to git 'im to quit when he married in the family said he didn't want his daddy-in-law drawin' pay by the month but Tom had got interested in the work and hung on. He's turned out to be an A1 manager, I tell you. He knows what's what in plantin', an' makes his men move like clockwork from sun-up to sun-down." "And George and his wife?" Mostyn inquired. "Are they doing well?"
And perhaps if Magda had never crossed his path Dan Storran might have gone his way contentedly, toiling from sun-up to sun-down till all his days were finished. Even although she had crossed it, she might still have left him pretty much as she found him unawakened to the deeps of his own nature if she had remained in her present ambiguous mood, half-remorseful, half indifferent.
They'll be only too glad to hustle in with news of a bear, and we can get the hounds on the trail by sun-up. I'll have a dozen hounds then, maybe twenty, and all trained. We'll put every black bear we chase up a tree, and we'll rope and tie him. As to grizzlies well, I'm not saying so much. They can't climb trees, and they are not afraid of a pack of hounds.
Rather than corral, we night-herded, penning them by dawn and riding our first horse before sun-up. As they gradually yielded, we increased our number to six a day and finally before the breaking was over to eight.
"I reckon that's so, if you mean to speed us up," the other agreed, with a laugh, and when he went back to the others Jim lighted his pipe. "A nasty knock, but not a knock-out," Jake remarked. "At sun-up we'll have a better notion " "Oh, yes," said Jim, rather impatiently, and added: "I've been wondering why I wakened." "I reckon that's plain enough.
Soon after sun-up the head drover formally accepted the mob, and, still inwardly marvelling at the Maluka's trust, filled in his cheque, and, blandly smiling, watched while the Maluka made out receipts and cancelled the agreement.
"What do you mean?" asked Ruth, sharply. "I know she's afraid as she can be of the dark. She's a regular baby about that. Of course, she won't own up to it." "Why! I never knew it," Ruth exclaimed. "She wouldn't go fishing because I start so early while it's still dark. Catch her out of the house before sun-up!" "Oh, Curly! I blame myself," gasped Ruth. "I never knew that about her. Are you sure?"
He was accompanied by the Nigger, very much terrified, very much burdened with food and cooking utensils. The assistant was lazily relating tales of voodoos, a glimmer of mischief in his eyes. I lived in the place for three weeks. We were afoot shortly after daybreak, under way by sun-up, and at work before the heats began.
