"State of Illinois, U.S.A., September 19, 1846 but what of that? We're the Lord's chosen, and over yender is a generation of vipers warned to flee from the wrath to come. But they won't flee, and so we're outcasts for the present, driven forth like snakes. The best American blood is in our veins.
All the tree-climbers arose respectfully, saluted, and a tall, cadaverous-looking, long-haired, coon-skin-capped leader advanced, took the general by the hand, and slowly drawled, "Ginrul, the red niggers air skulkin' yender to the river, waitin' to chaw up you uns tonight.
The fisherman stared blankly at this suggestion, and replied, "It mought do fur the like o' ye, lad; but we be poor folks, an' I don't think 'tw'u'd do the good ye think. The fever be come, an' it be goin' to stay till we be all lyin' up in the sand yender." So the sickness lingered, meeting no resistance and no attempts to check its progress.
He bust into teers and axed me ef I saw that yung lady in the seet out yender, pintin to as slick a lookin gal as I ever seed. Sed I, "2 be shure I see her is she mutch sick?" The man in black close was appeerently as fine a man as ever was in the wurld ennywhares. "Draw closter to me," sed the man in black close. "Let me git my mowth fernenst yure ear. Hush SHESE A OCTOROON!"
Dirk shook his head. "It be no use," he said, "but we ken try. I be not one to hev it said that I be unthankful. Here, lads, give us a hand! Ef I'll be riskin' my life fur any one, 'tis fur the lad yender." They dragged a boat down to the curling line of foam, and watching for a favorable opportunity, launched it. Trafford sprang in with them, and they pushed into the darkness.
Falls is dretful uncert'in things; shouldn't wonder if her back was broke. Father's down yender, and he and Bijah will see to her. You go call 'em, and I'll blow the horn to start 'em up. Tell her we'd be pleased to see her, and it won't make a mite of trouble." Ben heard no more, fur as Mrs. Paine turned to take down the tin horn he was up and away.
Sure enough, the stern of a small boat stuck out into the deep, broad river, the bow being hidden by the bushes. "Both of 'em hurried up the hill over yender, an' that's the last I seen of 'em," concluded the lad. Anderson Crow and his man-hunters stared helplessly at the broad, swift river, and then looked at each other in despair.
Long stubs of dead pine loomed in the dim, golden afterglow, their stark limbs arching high in the heavens like mullions in a great Gothic window. "When we git nigh shore over yender," said my companion, "don't believe we better hev a grea' deal t' say. I ain't a-goin' t' be tuk by a jugful not ef I can help it. Got me 'n a tight place one night here 'n Canady." "Ah, m'sieu', in Canada!
My own folks will see to the lady, and she'd better keep quiet up yender till we see what the matter is," said the farmer, when the pale girl was lifted in as carefully as four strong arms could do it. "Hold on," he added, as Ben made one leap to Lita's back. "You'll have to go to Berryville. Dr. Mills is a master hand for broken bones and old Dr. Babcock ain't.
"Does my fury swell up in me? No wonder! And you hain't guessed why? Well, them pitiful remnant of Saints, the sick, the old, the poor, waitin' to be helped yender to winter quarters, has been throwed out into that there slough acrost the river, six hundred and forty of 'em." "When we were keeping faith by going?" "What does a mobocrat care for faith-keepin'? Have you brought back the wagons?"
