The range was altogether too valuable to be laid on the seat like Miss Phely, so Yulee kept it in her hands; and she had not forgotten either prudent Yulee! to bring some matches wrapped up in a piece of newspaper, and which she kept her eyes on constantly, as they lay in the range, expecting every moment to see them start a-fire; indeed, they kept her very uneasy.
However, everything was now aboard. "Here, Bo," said she, "you sit down there, side of Miss Phely, and don't let her tumble overboard, and I'll go and untie the rope." Bo began to be a little frightened, but he had faith in Yulee, and Yulee had great faith in herself.
Last of all came Yulee, holding fast her precious range and dividing her attention between the dangerous matches and the disembarking from the boat. "Now, is the Little Madras going to pieces?" asked Bo. "It ought to," said Yulee, "or else it will drift away in the night time.
Buchanan tied, and disable the Republicans from effecting any legislation which will strengthen the hands of the incoming Administration. "The resolutions will be sent by the delegation to the President of the Convention. I have not been able to find Mr. I have therefore thought it best to send you this copy of the resolutions. "In haste, yours truly "D. L. YULEE.
Bo was frightened at this; he wasn't prepared for savages. "Do you really think, Yulee," said he, "that there are savages here?" "I don't know," said she, "I've never been here before, but it's best to be prepared.
Bo, short for Robert, was two years younger and wanted to do everything that Yulee did. Wherever Yulee was, there you would be sure to find Bo. He followed her about as faithfully as a chicken does her mother, and Yulee treated him very much as a hen does its only chicken. The book they were reading was called "The Castaways," and Bo was listening to Yulee with the greatest attention.
The kettle just then gave way, and tipping up, spilled the water over, which hissed on the molten lead and caused a great smoke to rise from the burning embers. Yulee and Bo gazed wofully on the ruin before them. It was too hot at first to touch, and they stood for some time in front of it, looking at the odd shapes that the melting lead had taken.
Bo had nothing to say against such a mode of shipwrecking, and Yulee continued: "But I think I'd rather be cast away on an island like Robinson Crusoe or The Little Robinson, where there was water all around, and canoes and pearls, just as it is in 'The Swiss Family." "Bo!" she said suddenly, "I do declare! let's be cast away on the island in the lake!
Then Yulee felt less badly; before she had been troubled about Bo, but now that he was asleep, leaning so upon her, she felt a courage at having one depending upon her whom she must never desert, no, not even if a hippopotamus, as she said, were to come toward them. But no hippopotamus came; instead of that, she saw a boat with a light twinkling in it, come rowing down the lake toward the island.
Again Yulee took a match and Bo stooped down, breathlessly watching the operation. "Ritzch!" went the match and Yulee held it between the bars of the range to light the fire; it didn't seem to burn very well though there was considerable smoke; in fact, the match after burning to the edge of Yulee's fingers went out, and the fire was not yet fairly kindled.
