Pelican Island must be approached exactly right, in the comparatively slow water above the rocky island, for 20 feet away on each side is an irresistible current leading into a sure-death cataract. But Billy was a river pilot and we made the point in safety.
Sam had one that continued to warp until it was much bent, and the result was some of the most surprising curves in its flight. This he called the "Boomerang." Another, with a very small feather, travelled farther than any of the rest. This was the "Far-killer." His best arrow, one that he called "Sure-death," was a long-feathered Turkey shaft with a light head.
"Well, down to Farnum's boatyard they're putting up a craft that's known as 'Pollard's Folly." "And why wouldn't they want that photographed?" demanded young Benson. "Because it's one of them sure-death boats they hope to sell the Government, and the United States Government don't care 'bout havin' its war craft secrets snap-shotted," replied Jabez Holt.
Sam fired at the great feathery creature, but evidently missed, for the Owl spread its wings and sailed away. "There goes my best arrow. That was my 'Sure-death." "Pshaw!" growled Yan, as he noted the miss. "You can't shoot a little bit." But as they stood, there was a fluttering of broad wings, and there, alighting as before on the medicine pole, was the Owl again.
Look at that and that " There on the ground not ten feet apart were two enormous Horned Owls, both shot fairly through the heart, one with Sam's "Sure-death" arrow, the other with Yan's "Whistler"; both shots had been true, and the boys could only say, "Well, if you saw that in print you would say it was a big lie!"
I wish I had one to stuff." "Tried to get him for you, sonny, spite of the Rules. Could 'a' done it, too, with a gun. Had a shy at him with an arrow an' I hain't been bird or arrow since. 'Twas my best arrow, too old Sure-Death." "Will ye give me the arrow if I kin find it?" said Guy. "Now you bet I won't. What good'd that be to me?" "Will you give me your chewin' gum?" "No."
Other drivers had been sent for, men who were afraid of nothing, but no one had yet been found who would drive the run to Last Chance, which had been set down in the frontier vocabulary as the Sure-death Trail. Doctor Dick agreed to drive the coach back on condition that the driver who came to take charge should come on to Last Chance on horseback and be ready to come back with it.
