The scene is the brow of the Hungerberg at Innsbruck. It is the half-hour before sunset, and the whole lovely valley of the Inn still wie die Nacht, tief wie das Meer begins to glow with mauves and apple greens, apricots and silvery blues.
"I guessed as much, you dingy tief," said the sergeant, "but I will break your bones, if you don't give me a sufficing reason why you left him." And he approached Snowdrop, with his cane raised in act to strike. "Top, massa," shouted the negro; "me will tell you Dr Plaget desire dat Heavystern should be leave."
I ask M'bo what's the matter, and he answers, with a derisive laugh, "He be fool man, he go for tief plantain and done got shot." M'bo does not make it clear where the sin in this affair is exactly located; I expect it is in being "fool man." Having got our supply of long stout poles we push off and paddle on again.
What little I learnt was in harmony with previous explorations, for my track cut at right angles the line of the Harke Tief, the stream issuing at Nessmersiel. It, too, was in the nature of a canal, but only in embryo at the point I touched it, south of Nesse. Works on a deviation were in progress, and in a short digression down stream I sighted another lighter-building yard.
They cuffed him a little more, for full measure "Tief! You big hoss tief! Hey? Hey? How you like tief? Hey?" Simon spent an uncomfortable night. The matter had passed the joking period; he saw only torture ahead of him, at Little Chillicothe. The Indians were not yet done with him, here. In the morning they seemed to be more enraged than ever.
"Massa Charles," the negress called out, "bring yo' shot-gun quick; here am tief want to break into the house." "I am neither a thief nor a tramp," Vincent said; "and I do not want anything, except that I should be glad to buy a loaf of bread if you have one that you could spare. I have lost my way, and I want to ask directions." "Dat am pretty likely story," the old woman said.
"Hurt much?" said my father, pressing his finger and thumb on the wound at the back and palm of the boy's hand. "Um tickle, sah: dat all. Pomp tought you cut um arm off. Hi! You dah," he shouted excitedly; "you wait till Pomp get lil bit of rag round um hand, you see how I serb you. Yah! You big coward Injum tief."
The old man laughed, and said, half nettled by Sailor's contemptuous way of smelling his whole wardrobe, "Dat is von vine dog." Though the allusion to the dog's well-proportioned form, or extreme sagacity, was one which answered itself, I replied, "Yes; and that is the way he makes friends." "I know, I know," he answered, "if von maan's schmell vosh as goot, ve shoult schmell de tief vary shoon."
In a fog I might have followed them there; as it was, the night was none too dark, and I had my strength to husband; and stamped on my memory were the words 'the tide serves'. I judged it a wiser use of time and sinew to anticipate them at Bensersiel by the shortest road, leaving them to reach it by way of the devious Tief, to examine which was, I felt convinced, one of their objects.
'No, but I had a married sister there; had just returned from a year's voyaging, and was going to visit her. 'By the way, I asked, 'how are they getting on with the Benser Tief? My friend shrugged his shoulders; it was finished, he believed.
