The creek was quite wide at this point, and out near the middle of it he saw Tony's head. The turkey-hunter was swimming hand-overhand, "dog-fashion," for the shore. Behind him was a boat, upside-down, which seemed just on the point of sinking out of sight. "Hel-low, there!" cried Harry; "what's the matter, Tony?"
Tony asked. 'Oh, I never exercise my voice in the night air, said the captain. "It's against my rules." "Well, you'd better break your rules next time you go out in the woods where Harry is," said the turkey-hunter, "or he'll pop you over for a turkey or a musk-rat. He's a sharp shot, I kin tell ye." "You don't really mean he was after me last night with a gun!" exclaimed Captain Caseby.
