The supply was sent back to Nicolayevsk, where it was eaten by the American merchants. Accompanying Borasdine I called upon the officer in command. We were ushered through two or three small rooms into the principal apartment, which contained a piano of French manufacture.
With the music there was plenty of dandy drumming Rumpety! rumpety! rump! rump! rump! Then, ushered by Buckle, the guests began to stream up the steps. One-Eye was first, attended by all of his fellow cowboys; and there was some yip-yipping, and ki-eying, in true Western fashion, Johnnie saluting each befurred horseman in perfect scout style.
