Sivu 93 - Sir William then explained the object of the expedition to Timothy much in the same manner he had previously done to Sybrandt. " But mayn't I shoot one of these tarnil kritters if he comes in my way ? " said Timothy, in a tone of great interest. " N'o ; you are not to fire a gun, nor attempt any hostility whatever, unless it is neck or nothing with you." "Well, that's what I call hard; but maybe it will please God to put our lives in danger — that's some comfort.
Sivu 98 - Sybrandt obeyed his injunctions; and Timothy proceeded towards the lights, which appeared much farther off in the darkness than they really were, handling his paddle with such lightness and dexterity that Sybrandt could not hear the strokes. In this manner they swiftly approached the encampment, until they could distinguish a confused noise of shoutings and hallooings, which gradually broke on their ears in discordant violence. Timothy stopped his paddle and listened. "It is the song of those tarnal...
Sivu 26 - ... pocket ; but as for picking a lady's white bosom of a sweet little heart — let him alone for that. A fair exchange was no robbery all the world over ; and he always left his own with them, if there were twenty. When his brother officers laughed at him for having so many hearts,
Sivu 96 - Suddenly he heard, or thought he heard, the measured sound of paddles dipping lightly into the water. A few minutes more and he saw five or six little lights glimmering indistinctly through the obscurity, apparently at a great distance. Timothy raised himself up suddenly, seized his gun and pointed it for a moment at one of the lights ; but recollecting the injunction of Sir William, immediately resumed his former position. In a few minutes the sound of the paddles died away, and the lights disappeared....
Sivu 98 - Well, then, I must make the best of the matter. The kritters are camped out — I see by their fires — by themselves. I can't stop to tell you every thing ; but you must keep close• to me, do jist as I do, and say nothing ; that's all." " I am likely to play a pretty part, I see.
Sivu 12 - Bohemia,' seemed destined never to get beyond the first sentence. He was again interrupted by a strange mysterious scratching and fluttering, accompanied by a mighty cackling and confusion in the chicken-coop, which the provident captain had stored with poultry for the benefit of the colonel and his daughter. " ' Duyvel ! what's dat?' cried Captain Baltus, in great consternation. " ' Oh, it 's only the old woman robbing your henroost,
Sivu 102 - Not yet," replied the other ; " let them sleep an hour longer, and they will wake sober." They then passed on ; and when their footsteps were no longer heard, Timothy again raised himself up, motioning our hero to lie still. After ascertaining by certain tests ! which experience had taught him that the ¡ Indians still continued in a profound sleep, ; he proceeded with wonderful dexterity and silence to shake the priming from each of the guns in succession. After this he took their powder-horns and...
Sivu 100 - ... Timothy replied in a few Indian words, which Sybrandt did not comprehend; and raising himself from the ground, suddenly appeared in the midst of them. A few words were rapidly interchanged; and Timothy then brought forward his companion, whom he presented to the Utawas, who welcomed him and handed the canteen, now almost empty. "My brother does not talk,

At intervals they broke out into yelling and discordant songs, filled with extravagant boastings of murders, massacres, burnings, and plunderings, mixed up with threatenings of what they would do to the red-coat long knives on the morrow. One of these songs recited the destruction of a village, and bore a striking resemblance to the bloody catastrophe of poor...
Sivu 141 - He took great pains to initiate her into the mysteries of his new philosophical, practical, elementary and scientific system of education, on which he prided himself exceedingly, and with justice, for it hath been lately revised and administered among us with singular success by divers ungenerous pedagogues, who have not had the conscience to acknowledge whence it was derived. As Newton took the hint of the theory of gravitation from seeing an apple fall to the ground, and as the illustrious Marquis...
