The note written and dispatched, I quietly "vamoosed," or, as I believe it is popularly termed in the navy now, I "went over the hill." My primary excuse for this action was, of course, the outbreak of smallpox, which at that time and in fact until very recently, was as greatly dreaded as bubonic plague is now, and probably more.
It was evident that MacDonald had been living here for several days. "Looks as though I'd run away, don't it, Johnny?" he asked, laughing in his curious, chuckling way again. "An' so I did, boy. From the mountain up there I've been watching things through my telescope been keepin' quiet since Doc pulled the bullet out. I've been layin' for the Breed. I wanted him to think I'd vamoosed.
Of course Mr. Preston didn't have much information to go on, but well, we'll have to wait that's all. But I'm sure San Pedro and the others were in a blue funk and vamoosed on that account." "Hey, Massa Tom!" suddenly called Eradicate. "Heah am a letter I found on de baggage," and he ran forward with a missive, rudely scrawled on a scrap of paper.
Why, my only Somali warrior has vamoosed with his full make-up, and the Magnetic Girl too, and I never thought of suicide only whether to turn my old woman into a Veiled Beauty of the Harem or a Hairy Lama from Tibet." Not absolutely grasping the emergency, yet in a spirit of inoffensive cordiality I remarked that the alternative was insufferably perplexing, while he continued.
"He'll keep his eye open, Chuckie," reassured her father. "It's the other fellow wants to be careful, if he hasn't already vamoosed. Hey, Kid?" "I'll get him, if I get the chance," laconically replied Gowan, looking from the girl to Ashton with the characteristic straightening of his lips that marked the tensing of his emotions. As he left the room Miss Isobel smiled and nodded to Ashton.
McDonald seemed to be inclined to think that it was a bull and that I ought to shoot. So I shot, and knocked splinters out of the spruce log. We could see them fly. The animal got up quickly, and looked at us for a moment, shaking her long ears; then the huge, unmitigated cow vamoosed into the brush.
"Three husky doughboys of the American Army put to flight by a horde of rats!" he exclaimed. "All the same, they'd be picking the bones of those same husky doughboys if we hadn't vamoosed," defended Billy. "Gee! it seemed to me that there must have been millions of them." "I know now how that Bishop Hatto, or whoever it was, felt when the rats were after him," put in Bart.
"Men no work tunnel?" she inquired. "No, they've all skipped out vamoosed. Afraid of some spirit." The woman looked around, as though in fear. Then she approached Tom closely and whispered: "No spirit in tunnel bad man!" "What!" cried Tom, almost jumping off his stool. "What do you mean, Masni?" "Me tell mighty hunter," she went on, lowering her voice still more.
I told him I reckoned you'd gone to Sacramento, but he said he wez sure you was in your room, and to prove it I went thar. But when I kem back the d d skunk had vamoosed got frightened I reckon and wasn't nowhar to be seen." Reashaw took the letter hastily. It contained only a line in Sleight's hand. "If you change your mind, the bearer may be of service to you." He turned abruptly to Nott.
Here's this one going off without a word, or an excuse, or anything. Just gone! And a silly note thrown on my desk. I tell you women have absolutely no sense of business obligation positively not!" Spence restrained himself. "You are speaking of ?" "That nurse of mine, Miss Watkins. Never a word about leaving yesterday, and today vanished vamoosed simply non est! Look at what she says.
