While standing in hesitancy, they hear a voice raised above the rest one which both recognise. Well do they remember it, pealing among the waggons on that day of real ruthless carnage. Glancing back over their shoulders, they see him who sends it forth the giant guide of the caravan. He has just broken from the timber's edge, and in vigorous bounds is advancing towards them.
A muttered execration from Peavey Jo announced the lad's safety. It angered the usually calm Supervisor. "That ends you," he said. "You're licked, and you know it. Your mill's gone, your timber's gone, and your credit's gone. Don't let me see you on this forest again." "You think I do no more, eh? Me, I forget? Non! By and by you remember Peavey Jo. Now I ride down river. That boy, you see him?
Now what had he done that for? A sudden impulse to do just that thing; perhaps he had done it to hide his embarrassment. They started off again, and all three of them walked a bit of the way. They came to a new farm. "What's that there?" asked Inger. "'Tis Brede's place, that he's bought." "Brede?" "Breidablik, he calls it. There's wide moorland, but the timber's poor."
Then: "So you've changed your mind, have you? You've spoken to me again!" There was triumph, exultation in his voice. "The timber's too thick, Shirley. I couldn't get away anyhow so I'm coming back."
"I can't say for certain, but I seem to remember hearin' Dad say something about buyin' some planks as a stand-by in case of repairs of any sort bein' needed; and I believe I saw some planks and scantlin' down in the fore hold a bit later, while the ship was still in dock. If the timber's aboard anywhere, that's where you'll find it, Mr Blackburn."
Used to use it fer haulin' in the shallow alluvial at Eel Creek. I've seen it at his hut often, said McKnight. 'But, I say, mister, if you' take the advice of an old miner you'll get out o' this just as quick as you can lick. See, the timber's been taken out o' this shaft, an' it's a wonder to me it ain't come down in a lump an' buried them kids long since. It's damn dangerous, I tell you.
"Hell's fire," said Joe Stallings, with infinite contempt, "there's thousands of places to build a bridge, and the timber's there, but the idea is to cut it." And his sentiments found a hearty approval in the majority of the outfit. Flood returned late that evening, having ridden as far down the creek as the first settlement.
Standin' timber's his specialty." "And I reckon he's satisfactory?" "Yes! Mr. Byers is a good provider and handy. And you? I should say you'd want a wife in this business?" Mr. Langworthy's serious half-perfunctory manner here took on an appearance of interest. "Yes I've bin thinkin' that way.
'Well, ye know, said he, 'where they live the timber's thick an' they hev hard work clearin' t' mek a home. I was getting too sleepy for further talk.
