They could not tell behind which of the endless succession of high and low buttes the town was nestling. Tad consulted his compass, after which the lads faced the southwest and pressed cheerfully on. The Pony Rider Boys were fairly started now on what was to prove the most exciting and eventful journey of their lives. "Yah-h-h hum." Stacy Brown yawned loudly.
The group of traders parted before them, cheering even while they gave place, cheering with eyes averted, unwilling to see the ruin that meant for them salvation. "Yah-h-h. Yah-h-h, busted, busted!" Landry had put his arm about Jadwin, and gripped him close as he led him from the Pit.
The sobs were in his throat again, and tears of excitement, of grief, of anger and impotence were running down his face. "Yah-h-h. Yah-h-h, he's done for, busted, busted!" "Damn you all," cried Landry, throwing out a furious fist, "damn you all; you brutes, you beasts! If he'd so much as raised a finger a week ago, you'd have run for your lives."
Your paper's your father and your mother and your wife and your children! Oh, go to bed, out of my sight, or I'll forget myself!..." John walked towards the door. "I'd rather love a woman any day than a paper," he said. "Well, go and love her then, and don't try to interfere with a paper again! Don't come down Fleet Street pretending you're a journalist!" "Good-night!" "Yah-h-h!" said Hinde.
Bang thud! A great grey puff of smoke started from the schooner's deck and a ball came skipping in their direction over the smooth stream. "Well, I do call that too bad," cried Joe, as the men uttered a deep-toned "Yah-h-h!" "Arter the way in which I cared for you and kept you clean, to go and behave like that!" "Well, poor dumb beast," growled Briggs, "she don't know no better."
But the jubilee was irrepressible, they had been too cruelly pressed, these others; they had felt the weight of the Bull's hoof, the rip of his horn. Now they had beaten him, had pulled him down. "Yah-h-h, whoop, yi, yi, yi. Busted, busted, busted. Hip, hip, hip, and a tiger!" "Come away, sir. For God's sake, Mr. Jadwin, come away."
While he was grabbing and wrenching at the buggy-top, the water from his hat brim dripping down upon his nose, the horse, restive under the drench of the rain, moved uneasily. "Yah-h-h you!" he shouted, inarticulate with exasperation. "You you Gor-r-r, wait till I get hold of you. WHOA, you!" But there was an interruption.
The Swede was going to ship the crew for the Golden Bough that night! That meant he needed sailors. For they knew ships, those men, and they knew the Golden Bough. Some of them had sailed in her. The Swede grinned jocosely at me. "How you like to ship by the Golden Bough! There ban easy ship, Ja! Plenty grub, easy vork, good mates " "Yah-h-h!"
That message of Mr. Brewster's See here, Perkins, you didn't row that over to the mainland? No, you couldn't. That's absurd. It's too far." "No; I didn't row it to the mainland." "But you've been rowing. I'd swear to those hands. Where? The blockading Dutch warship?" The other nodded. "Last night. Yah-h-h!" he yawned. "It makes me sleepy to think of it."
"Yah-h-h!" came in a groan, for as the words left the boy's lips there was a violent ebullition where the great serpent or whatever it was had been playing, the beautiful ripple of the shoal of fish died out, and in the fast-fading light of the evening the sea all around lay gleaming and grey, as it gently heaved, with no other movement now. "Oh, what a pity we were so long," said Rodd dismally.
