"Now you jes' go right into dinnah; I'll take keer of the auto'bile; I'll see that nun of those ign'rant folk stannin' roun' lay their han's on it; they think Sambo doan know an auto'bile; didn't I see you heah befoh? an' didn't I hole de hose when you put de watah in? Me an' you are de only two pussons in dis whole town who knows about de auto'bile, jes' me an' you."

"Ah reckons it am watah," answered the colored boy, which brought a laugh from the Overlanders. "Laundry must have been 'con-centrating," observed Anne Nesbit. "This may be Spring Brook," called Miss Briggs. "We shall have to take for granted that it is."

"Here's wha' dey tuck de watah," the old man remarked to the dog, as together they followed the footprints to the water's edge. "Dat 'ere listed sow, she got mo' sense un folks! She know 'bout Mars Jones's corn, an' dey ain't no fence gwine stop dat cretur when she take a notion for to go.

"Very well, then; it is up to you to get away, and I take it that you understand this river. Where is the main current along here?" "From de p'int yonder, over ter de east shore." "And the depth of water across from us? We are going to head up stream." "Yas, sah; yer plannin' fer ter go nor'. Wal, sah, dars planty o' watah fer dis yere boat right now, wid de spring floods.

Ah nebber tried it, fer Massa Donaldson hed no bus'ness ober in dis kintry, but Ah's heerd 'em talk down ter Saint Louee. Trouble is, sah, we's got started in de wrong place dar's plenty watah t'other side dis yere bar." "Who told you the best way to find Shrunk?" His eyes widened and searched my face, evidently still somewhat suspicious of any white man. "A nigger down Saint Louee way, sah.

"Stop dat! Don't yo' go fo' to hit dat boy!" cried the colored man. "If yo' do I'll fling dis watah pitcher at yo' head!" "You shut up, you rascally nigger!" shouted the mate. "You have nothing to say here!" "I'se got somet'ing to say if yo' hit Massa Fred," answered Aleck, and held the water pitcher as if ready to launch it at the mate's head.
