Hamburger smoked harder than ever and looked down at the hole. "Hark! Hear dem? It is de tog. Pless mein eyes, if dey didn't chase dose vootshuck right oonder mein pasture-lot!" Julius could hear Quib bark now, away down there in the ground, and he could not stand still on any one side of that hollow. So he danced up and down on every side of it.
"If I could be sure it would 'fetch' me back safe, Tom " "That'll do! That'll do!" laughed the young aviator. "One joke like that is enough in a morning. It was pretty good, though. Now go on in and tog up." "You're sure it's safe, Tom?" "Positive! Trot along now. I want to fix a wire and " "Oh, is anything broken?" and the girl, who had started away from the aeroplane, turned back again.
I've seen the place, so recognized it, or thought I did. We must check it, of course. Here you are! You know the footbridge across the river from Bush Walk?" "Yes." "The eastern end is supported on a hollow pier of masonry, in which one might tog up unseen. These drawings would be useful as an Aide Memoire on a dark night. A false step, with the river in flood, might be awkward."
When you've made way with the grub, you can bunk down on that divan for the night, and in the morning I'll tog you out in one of my outfits, and you can set about getting back on terra firma. You'll have to shake the drink, that goes without saying." Cavendish straightened himself suddenly, laid down his knife and fork, and laughed shortly.
"Best and only," acknowledged Ned bluntly. "Why?" "Well, I've got a suit that will just about fit you, and I want you to sort of tog up when you have time to come out and join our crowd. Not that I would ever be ashamed of you no matter what you wore, but we all have a little pride." "I'm not going to let you rob yourself to do a kindness for me," declared Ned.
After a few minutes he plunged into a belt of mist. The sand was soft and his waders and heavy gun embarrassed him, but he heard the call again and thought he knew the voice. He labored on, breathing hard, until by and by the tog melted and he saw two figures not far off. "Jake!" he shouted. "Is it you and Carrie?"
The seaman finished his legend, and there was a dead silence for a minute or two, broken first by Jansen, who in a low voice said, "Then te tog is not a tog." "No," replied Cobb, "an imp sent by the devil to his follower in distress." "Yes," said. Short.
"You've got to go some to get back in time to let us tog up for guard-mount," remarked Paul, looking at his watch. "That's right," added Innis. "I don't want to get a call-down. I'm about up to my limit now. "We'll do it all right," announced Dick. "I haven't speeded the motor yet. I've been warming it up. I'll show you what she can do!"
I couldn't much blame this whippersnapper of a consul's clerk for thinking me a tough subject. "None of those things fit my case, Mister," I said, mildly. "I know I don't look handsome, but I've been on a whaling bark for several months and I haven't had time yet to tog up." "A whaleship?" he asked. "An American whaleship?" "Yes, sir," said I. "There is none in port." "No, sir.
The corporal rose on his feet and shook himself like an elephant. "Dat tog is de tyfel's imp, and dat's de end on it," said he, with alarm still painted on his countenance. "And is he really on board again?" inquired Coble, doubtingly. "As sartin as I stands on this here forecastle a-kissing and slobbering the lieutenant for all the world like a Christian," replied Smallbones, despondingly.
