They passed out of sight behind the trees of an island, one close upon the other, and I do not know how the controversy ended; but I would have wagered a trifle on the old white-head, the bird of Washington. The scene reminded me of one I had witnessed in Georgia a fortnight before, on my way south.
Neither is the conjecture of the French editor of this voyage better founded, who supposes they were so called by the English from a Welsh word signifying white-head; and from which it has been argued that these savages are descended from a colony of Britons, supposed to have settled in America, about the year 1170, under Madoc, prince of North Wales.
"We've got 'em beat, Jim," he panted, "less thar's others headin' us off; run like a white-head; don't mind me." The road ahead was clear, except for the speeding cowboys, and the marshal made extremely quick work of them.
Confound you, Brady, you invited all of this, you brought it down upon your head with all that nonsense about—why, it was you who converted old Templeton Thorpe and here you are running away like a 'white-head.

"All right?" demanded the white-head. "Let go!" He dropped her. She stood upright, and unhurt, but swayed a little, weakly. The next instant he was down and stood, breathing quickly, before her.
