"I know," panted Aleck, with a feeling of angry indignation attacking him.
And now began what has been acknowledged to be the most trying part of any engagement, from a duel to a battle the waiting for hostilities to begin. It seemed that an interminable time had elapsed from the moment that they heard the first "dip-dip" of the paddles to the sharp crack of a twig sounded in the jungle directly ahead of them.

In her crib she tried to read by the light of a candle, while the paddlers extemporised songs in her honour, assigning to her all the virtues under the sun Ma, our beautiful, beloved mother, is on board, Ho! Ho! Ho!
