White man he'll carry on hees shoulder, but Injun an' voyageur, she'll put the tump-band on her head, what? That's best way for much load." Moise now proceeded to prove the virtue of his remarks. He was a very powerful man, and he now swung up the great pack to his shoulders, although it must have weighed much over a hundred and fifty pounds and included almost the full cargo of the foremost boat.
She notes the singular fate of this piece to be reproduced in time of bombardment. A pastoral! The worst strain of suspense ended January 29, with the capitulation of Paris. Here the Journal d'un Voyageur breaks off. It would be sad indeed had her life, like that of more than one of her compeers, closed then over France in mourning.
"And there it will stay," Captain Rudstone said coolly. "Even when the snow melts in the spring, it will be covered deep by rocks and trees that no man could drag away." The old voyageur appeared equally unconcerned. Money meant little to him, and I could understand the captain taking as easy a view of the loss. But with myself it way different, I confess.
On nearing the shore of what is now a great city the lonely voyageur was amazed on discovering that the pale face of the white man had many years preceded him. "What, ho!" he muttered to himself; "methinks I see a paleface toying with a dusky maiden. I will have speech with him."
The healthy voyageur is rarely without a keen appetite; and meat by itself is a food that speedily digests, and makes way for a fresh meal; so that the ration usually allowed to the employés of the fur companies would appear large enough to supply the table of several families.
He had been with Jim Bridger, when, on a wager, he went down Bear River in a skin boat and came out on the waters of the Great Salt Lake. Susan, who had stopped her talk with the voyageur to listen to this minstrel of the plains, now said: "Aren't you lonely in those quiet places where there's no one else?" The old man nodded, a gravely assenting eye on hers: "Powerful lonely, sometimes.
"Well, no, I wasn't going to have said that exactly, but I was going to have said a voyageur, only I recollected our doings this morning, and hesitated to take the name until I had won it." "It's well that you entertain so modest an opinion of yourself," said Mr. Park, who still smoked his pipe as if he were impressed with the idea that to stop for a moment would produce instant death.
"As I was driving the cattle to the middle alp to-day, I saw our fräulein in the arms of the big voyageur," he said. Stampa withdrew his pipe from between his teeth. "Say that again," he whispered, as though afraid of being overheard. Karl did so, with fuller details. "Are you sure?" asked Stampa. Karl sniffed scornfully. "Ach, Gott! How could I err?" he cried.
The sexes of the pigeon in the parent-species do not differ in any external character; nevertheless, in certain domesticated breeds the male is coloured differently from the female. Dr. Chapuis, 'Le Pigeon Voyageur Belge, 1865, p. 87. Boitard et Corbie, 'Les Pigeons de Voliere, etc., 1824, p. 173.
If they met him with arms in their hands as they sometimes did, for savages, like civilized men, do not always know their friends he resolutely offered peace; and, in his own simple and pious language, "God touched their hearts," and they cast aside their weapons and received him kindly. But the voyageur had higher qualities than enthusiasm.
