It was to gain possession of Slavin's saloon and the bar of the Black Rock Hotel, and clear out all the liquor to be found in both these places. I did not much like the idea; and Geordie said, 'I'm ga'en aifter the lad; I'll hae naethin' tae dae wi' yon. It's' no' that easy, an' it's a sinfu' waste. But Abe was wild to try it, and Shaw was quite willing, while old Nelson sternly approved.
Roaring inarticulately in their Berserker rage, the pair bore a closer resemblance to a bear and a gorilla than men. Once in that terrible grip, however, Gully, big and powerful man though he was, had not the slightest chance with a wrestler of Slavin's ability.
'Can I do anything for you to-day? he asked humbly. 'Indeed you just can, said the minister, taking his hand and shaking it very warmly; and then he told him Slavin's programme and ours. 'Sandy is all right till after his race. After that is his time of danger, said the minister.

The perspiration was beading Slavin's forehead, and now and then an oath burst unrestrained from his hairy lips.
Thin we can go ahead wid two J.P.s tu handle things. Yuh take charge av Mr. Man, Ridmond! Me an' Yorke will go an' eat now, an' relieve yuh later." "The Court is prepared, the Lawyers are met, The Judges all ranged, a terrible show!" As Captain Macheath says, and when one's arraigned, The sight's as unpleasant a one as I know.
