He already held the axe in his hands and began to make a raft of bamboo, and Vasudeva helped him to tied the canes together with ropes of grass.

Upriver, the small craft were uncertain, moving like phantoms over a pit of bottomless fire.
Briefly, quietly, Knowlton told of what had passed while he napped, then asked what information he had gleaned from Joao. "He says," answered Tim, "this guy is a queer duck.

The sun struck like fire on gun-barrel and spear-head, and gleamed on the wet paddles. He moistened his parched lips with a taste of water from his filter- bottle, and gave the call. The answer came, and he drew his friends to him with a low whistling. As they came crouching, he pointed upriver. "Three canoes put out.
When they returned, Malemute Kid placed his gold scales on the table, weighed out the matter of sixty ounces, and transferred them to the Strange One's sack. Then the chief of the dog drivers joined the conclave, and certain business was transacted with him.
