"It'll be a hard run," said Joe in a low, muttering tone, and looking furtively over his shoulder. "The varmints are mounted on wild horses, leastways they were wild not long agone. Them chaps can throw the lasso and trip a mustang as well as a Mexican. Mind the badger holes, Dick. Hold in a bit, Henri, yer nag don't need drivin' a foot in a hole just now would cost us our scalps.
"I reckon that was Ballyhoo Gleeson that let loose that partic'lar shot," said the cowboy with a chuckle; "I didn't know who it was running, but thought it was one of the varmints. Just afore that I was sure that I seed one of 'em and I let fly, shootin' on gineral principles as you might say.
"Get your shooting-irons and hurry up," he said. "The varmints are coming this time in arnest." In a minute everyone was at the post assigned to him. A number of dark figures could be seen coming over the ice. "There's nigh two hundred of 'em," Peter said. "War Eagle has brought the whole strength of his tribe."
"You tarnation critturs!" he at last bawled, with the accents of one driven to desperation, "if there a'n't no dodging you, then there a'n't. Here's for you, you everlasting varmints due your darndest!"
Hank sent the Sea Hound zooming toward the surface while the boys changed quickly into slacks and T shirts. Then Tom took over the controls for the flight home. "Brand my vitamin vittles!

The trio looked quickly into the face of the leader, but his quiet expression was unchanged, and what he may have implied by his statement he did not explain. "I do not love the varmints," said Sam, shaking his head. "I shall put them out of the world every chance I get." "So shall I," assented Boone, "although sometimes I feel sorry that I have to do so.
"Tain't no use to talk about honor with them, Cap.; they hain't got no such thing in um; and they won't show fair fight, any way you can fix it. Don't they kill and sculp a white man when-ar they get the better on him? The mean varmints, they'll never behave themselves until you give um a clean out and out licking.
"Never tu late to do a gude deed," declared Billy; "an' you'll have to come to it, or you'll get the skin cussed off your back afore you 'm done with. Gormed if ever I seed sich a man as you! Theer be some gude points about 'e, as everything must have from God A'mighty's workshop, down to poisonous varmints. But certain sure am I that you don't ought to think twice 'pon this job."
Within the last few year, I've seen a brother and a son shot by the infernal red-skins have lost I don't know how many companions in the same way been shot at fifty times myself, and captured several; and yet you see here I am, hale and hearty, and just as eager, with Betsey's permission, to talk to the varmints now as I war ten year ago."
They all banded together and swore that they would shoot every Indian they came across. They killed many some even who were friendly to the white men. They did not ask to what tribe they belonged. They were `redskin varmints, that was enough! "The Strong Elk, whose hospitality we enjoy to-night, was chief of the Blackfeet.
