Sut, however, did not move, but retained his crouching position beside the large boulder, speaking in the lowest and most guarded voice: "It won't do; we haven't any time to fool away yerabouts. Is that younker wid yer?" "Right at me heels, as me uncle concluded when the bulldog nabbed him." "Come ahead, then. Shoot me! but this ain't a healthy place to loaf in just now.
'Well, mother, you did say so, said Hatteraick, in a tone that had something of despair in its accents; 'and, donner and blitzen! I believe you spoke the truth. That younker of Ellangowan has been a rock ahead to me all my life!
'Did you not say that the younker, as you call him, goes by the name of Brown? 'Of Brown? yaw; Vanbeest Brown. Old Vanbeest Brown, of our Vanbeest and Vanbruggen, gave him his own name, he did. 'Then, said Glossin, rubbing his hands, 'it is he, by Heaven, who has committed this crime! 'And what have we to do with that? demanded Hatteraick.
This being decided in the affirmative, Isaac Younker and another individual were selected from the ranks, and appointed to go on the dangerous mission; with orders to follow the buffalo trace and examine it carefully on both sides particularly round about the ravines and if they saw any traces of Indians, to hasten back with all speed; but if not, to continue their examination for a half mile further on, where the great trace gradually became lost in lesser paths, which branched off in every direction.
"He could have slain poor Fred in some other way, but do you believe he has done so?" "Younker," replied the sympathetic guide, "I ain't the one to trifle with your feelings, fur you don't feel much worse than me, but I own up that I don't know anything more 'bout this bus'ness than you.

The Great Spirit give him memory the Great Spirit give him invention.
"See, Tom, the younker has shifted his berth in the dark, and the Englishmen have fired by the day-range they must have taken, for we left him in a direct line between the battery and yon hummock! What would have become of us, if that heavy fellow had plunged upon our decks, and gone out below the water-line?"
'Nein, nein; the kinchin got about the old man's heart, and he gave him his own name, and bred him up in the office, and then sent him to India; I believe he would have packed him back here, but his nephew told him it would do up the free trade for many a day if the youngster got back to Scotland. 'Do you think the younker knows much of his own origin now?
I hear no sounds, boy, but the flapping aloft; even that pilot, who struts the quarter-deck like an admiral, has nothing to say." "Is not that a sound to open a seaman's ear?" "It is in truth a heavy roll of the surf, lad, but the night air carries it heavily to our ears. Know you not the sounds of the surf yet, younker?" "I know it too well, Mr. Griffith, and do not wish to know it better.
There's not a man of the Terrible who would not look at little True Blue as his own son; and as to making him a seaman, we none on us would dream of anything else.
