50941	If they were here a few minutes ago,went on Merton,"why are n''t they here now?"

50941	Then, if this boat was launched in Lake Monona, it could enter the Canal over by Winnequa, cross into Mendota Lake, and proceed up the Yahara?
50941	To see me?

50941	Why not lay low till_ they_ get out?
50941	Why not leave the_ Sprite_ here,suggested McGlory,"and hike for Madison along the wagon road?"

50941	And for what?
50941	And how had he known that Matt was going to pass that particular point on the Waunakee road that morning?
50941	Are you agreeable?"
50941	Are you willin''?"
50941	But do you think I rigged myself out in different clothes and followed you clear from''Frisco just in the hope of getting that money?
50941	But where''s my son?

50941	If you want to put your boat in Fourth Lake, why do n''t you launch it there instead of taking it to Third Lake?"

50941	Now, at a good deal of inconvenience and expense to myself, I have come-- and why should n''t I see your father?"
50941	One false move would prove his ruin, and----""By gad,"interrupted Mr. Lorry,"do you mean to sit there and lecture_ me_?
50941	Or had they gone to some farmhouse after milk and eggs, or to get a hot supper?

50941	Then why do n''t you use''em?"
50941	Was it possible that he had ever met her before?
50941	Was the car Matt heard the one that had left its tracks there by the roadside?
50941	Was the_ Sprite_ to burn and sink, there in the open lake, and carry him to the bottom?
50941	Was there still a bare chance?
50941	Was this to be the end?
50941	What are your plans, Lorry?"

50941	What''s the good of watchin''the cabin if he gets the money?
50941	What''s the use of keeping track of the other two boys when King''s the one we want?"
50941	What''s your graft?
50941	When you going to put that boat in the water?"
50941	Where are you, pard?"
50941	Where did you leave him?"
50941	Where is he?
50941	Where you- all gwine?"
50941	Where you- all wants tuh go, boss?"
50941	Where''s a lantern?
50941	Who could possibly have furnished Lorry with the information on which he had based his remarkable conclusions?
50941	Who did it, pard?"
50941	Who was back of it, and what was the purpose?
50941	Why could n''t he get the_ Sprite_ afloat and proceed by water to the cabin?
50941	Why did n''t he bring this money to me himself?
50941	Why do you reckon the windows were draped like that?"
50941	Why had Big John come to Madison?
50941	Why should an automobile be taking to the woods in that unaccountable fashion?
50941	Why should he help Big John try to get that ten thousand from you, Matt?"
50941	Why was it necessary for him to send it at the hands of a stranger?"
50941	Wonder if you''ve got ten thousand about you that we could borrow for a while?"
50941	Wonner where dar''s a lantern?"
50941	Yo''ai n''t layin''fo''tuh grab me, is yuh?"
50941	You did n''t know I got off the train at Waunakee, when you got off, and that I trailed you and your two friends to that cabin in the woods, eh?
50941	You did n''t think I''d bring ten thousand dollars back with me in cash, did you?
50941	You do n''t mind my riding with you?"
50941	You got away from that pal of ours?"
50941	You have n''t been private adviser for young Lorry just to make a man of him in the gamblin''line, have you?
50941	You understand the plan, do you?"
50941	You''re George''s sister, are you?"
50941	You''re not afraid of spooks, are you, Pete?
50941	_ Home!_ How does that sound to you, my son?"
50941	_ Was_ it a jolt?
50941	exclaimed George;"not Ethel?"
50941	grumbled the youth,"_ now_ what have you done?
21980	A pair of socks?
21980	An alligator, was it?
21980	An''did ye notice how soon the pilot blowed his whistle?
21980	And Josh, Herb, Jimmie, are you willing to make it unanimous?
21980	And do you happen to know if they mean to slip away again, like they did a couple of nights ago?
21980	And how about that same reward we do be hearin''talk of, sir?
21980	And look at the boats, will ye, fellers? 21980 And now what are we to do wid these beauties, Jack?"
21980	And the boat-- it looks like ours, does it?
21980	And then pull into New Orleans next Saturday; is that the official program?
21980	And you propose taking him in your boat, to put him ashore above Friar''s Point-- is that it, Jack?
21980	Any bear sign?
21980	But did n''t she respond to the wheel fine though, Jimmie?
21980	But did ye say how they tumbled over wan another whin ye let go?
21980	But it''s fair to take advantage of a cut- off, ai n''t it?
21980	But what d''ye think brought him here in the first place?
21980	But what do you carry in that roll, wrapped in light paper, sticking up through your inside coat pocket?
21980	But what''s this, Jack, you''re saying about Erastus?
21980	But where''s George, and poor old Nick?
21980	But why did he want till make all that splash, Jack, darlint?
21980	But, by the powers, they had wan jist as good; how could they use both, Jack?
21980	Can anybody tell me what day of the month this is?
21980	Did I iver hear the loike?
21980	Did n''t I say him studying it like a gossoon?
21980	Did n''t you see him, boys, holding on to a rope, and trying his level best to keep the dandy little_ Wireless_ from getting too great a start? 21980 Did the gentleman in the auto say that the motor boat went_ under_ the bridge at the time he saw it?"
21980	Did ye iver know such a gossoon in all your loife? 21980 Did ye not hear him tellin''how he longed so much to be havin''thim ilegant wings of his durin''the six hours George was tinkerin''wid the ingine?
21980	Did ye pepper thim good and hot?
21980	Do n''t I strike the wrong channel as well as you?
21980	Do you hear that, George? 21980 Do you mean to say you chaps have run up against another adventure, while we were just sailing down on the breast of the bully old river?"
21980	Do you mean to say you noticed that small piece of cotton waste floating on a bit of board just at dusk?
21980	Do you really mean what you tried to tell us in that little note, Erastus, and are you innocent of house burning?
21980	Do you surrender?
21980	Does not some person other than yourself have a key that will unlock either of your store doors?
21980	Down the river''s the way we''uns mean tuh travel, d''ye heah? 21980 George, what do you say?"
21980	Got your hair parted exactly in the middle, Buster?
21980	Has John Guthrie got new shingles on his barn; or was old Weatherby seen at church for the first time in ten years?
21980	Have not been walking all night, have you?
21980	Have you finished supper, fellows?
21980	Have you gone clean daffy, and are you seeing things that no decent, self- respecting boy ought to see?
21980	How do we stand on this second leg, Jack?
21980	How long we been in this scrape, I''d loike to know, Jack?
21980	How long will we stay here?
21980	How''s that?
21980	However did you come to do it, Pudding?
21980	I guess you forget who was with me these three days, and how he can stow away stuff? 21980 I said there was n''t any bear tracks, did n''t I?
21980	I say, George, remember me telling you about that suspicious boat I saw across near the other shore just after we got settled last night?
21980	I wonder if Buster has been overboard again?
21980	I wonder if the other boat will get here by four?
21980	I wonder if there could be any other boat above us?
21980	If we do n''t find the same, thin what?
21980	Is that it, Jack?
21980	Just think of both boats picking out this very creek, of the scores there may be south of St. Louis? 21980 Listen till him, would ye, Jack?"
21980	Listen to him, would you?
21980	Look at the_ Wireless_, will you? 21980 Look out, Cap,"warned the suspicious one;"mebbe he just wants to tear it into finders[ Transcriber''s note: flinders?
21980	Mad, are they, and at us?
21980	Me to blame for what?
21980	Me? 21980 Meaning Mr. Tweed, the gentleman with the crooked nose, and the long, thin mustache?"
21980	Meaning us, I suppose?
21980	My sowl, whativer becomes of all the wather?
21980	Nothing dong, eh, Nick?
21980	Now, fellows, what craft does that make you think of?
21980	Now, what sort of harum- scarum trick have you got up your sleeve, Jack?
21980	Now, what''s been coming your way, I''d just like to know?
21980	Now, where under the sun did that boy go to?
21980	Of course, ye ixpect that George will be waitin''for us all the while at Memphis?
21980	Off, too, are you?
21980	One what?
21980	Perhaps he''s hiding inside the tree, fellows?
21980	Same old story?
21980	Say you so, Grogan?
21980	Say, Jack, there''s some ham left in the pan, and some more coffee in the pot-- shall I give the poor fellow the lot? 21980 Say, has Buster been able to swim across the river yet?"
21980	Say, have you been awake all night? 21980 Say, just change the subject, wo n''t you?"
21980	Say, look at the big bundle Jack''s carrying, would you?
21980	So, that''s the way the land lies, do it?
21980	So, you did pass the night in a creek, then?
21980	Sure I can understand why Herb and Josh are held back by a slow boat; but by the powers where can that speed boy be? 21980 Sure you have; ai n''t that just what we''re saying?"
21980	Sure, do ye be thinkin''there moight be another of the same waitin''till grab me by the lig? 21980 Sure; and what time have ye, Jack?"
21980	That gives you another ten days to make the balance of the journey, and land a winner?
21980	That so? 21980 That would be fine, if only it kept up all the rest of the trip, eh, Buster?"
21980	That''s so; but have n''t we seen scores of negroes barefooted all along?
21980	Then the paper came by mail?
21980	Thims the houses of Clinton we say away ahead there, thin?
21980	Thin ye do n''t be sayin''annything of thim whativer?
21980	Things do n''t look quite so bad with a cheery blaze, eh, Jimmie?
21980	Think me crazy to sail in this cranky message boat without insurance against a spill? 21980 Think we can get in?"
21980	Took the wrong cut- off, do ye mane?
21980	Wait a minute, Buster,he said;"if you''re going aboard, just get that book of funny jokes for me, will you?
21980	We appreciate such neighborly kindness, do n''t we, men?
21980	Well, I understood that was the way; but why should that bother us?
21980	Well, forget it, wo n''t you, Jimmie? 21980 Well, what are you going to do with them now?"
21980	Well, what d''ye think of that?
21980	Well, what do you think of that?
21980	Well, what''s the programme for today, fellows?
21980	Well, what''s the use of staying here?
21980	Well,observed the fat lad, shaking his head in a positive way he had,"why should n''t he when Jack has done so much for him?
21980	What are we waiting for now?
21980	What are you thinking about, Jimmie?
21980	What brought you in this out- of- the- way place, George?
21980	What d''ye suppose he will be afther saying now, whin he hears what happened till us again? 21980 What d''ye take me for, hey?
21980	What do you take me for, a phonograph with a blank record? 21980 What does?"
21980	What if we happen till run acrost a bear?
21980	What is it?
21980	What might that be?
21980	What say, fellows, shall we camp right here until we are ready for a fresh start on Monday morning? 21980 What time in the afternoon, Captain?"
21980	What time was that, Nick?
21980	What under the sun ails you, Jimmie?
21980	What were they saying, Jimmie?
21980	What would you do if you happened to come on the boat like yours?
21980	What''s all this mean? 21980 What''s that you''ve got, Grogan?"
21980	What''s that?
21980	What''s that?
21980	What''s that?
21980	What''s the matter wid ours?
21980	What''s the matter, Buster?
21980	What''s this?
21980	What''s wrong this time, George?
21980	What?
21980	Whatever put such an idea into your head?
21980	Where did you see it?
21980	Where was this?
21980	Where were you all the time the sheriff and his men were here?
21980	Whirra, now, an''do ye mean that, Jack, darlint?
21980	Who are you fellows, where''d you come from, and what are you doing here up this creek?
21980	Who do you mean?
21980	Who is that person?
21980	Why about the Hippopotamus?
21980	Why, who''s agoin''to hear me, sure?
21980	Will we make it, do yees think?
21980	Wonder if we ever will hear from him again?
21980	Would ye moind tilling me the time, Jack, darlint?
21980	Ye found it, all roight, I say, Jack?
21980	Yes, and naturally you objected to such a bold procedure, Jack, and determined to turn the tables on them; was that it?
21980	Yis, and thin?
21980	You did?
21980	You notice that I manage to keep fairly close to the shore, do n''t you, Jimmie? 21980 You said a cousin was guilty-- was that right?"
21980	You saw the men, then?
21980	Ai n''t I only thinking of the rest of you when I bother myself about such a thing as grub?
21980	And as to going on, what''s the use, when a big city looms up a few miles ahead?
21980	And seeing that it''s yours, sir, will you please take it off my hands?
21980	Buster, are you willing to remain?"
21980	But I suppose you boys can easily prove you are what you claim?"
21980	But what do you ask for, Buster?"
21980	But what does he act that way for?
21980	Could it be the postmaster at Alvin?
21980	D''ye hear the captain, mister?
21980	Did you see the teeth of those hounds, fellows?
21980	Do n''t you believe that this fellow may have been a desperate negro, hunted by the Regulators, who want to string him up?"
21980	Do n''t you ever sleep, Jack?"
21980	Do they creep along closer to the shore than usual; or stick to the middle, and whistle from time to time?"
21980	Do ye want me to lade the way to where they sit clost by the wather where the other boat swims?"
21980	Do you catch on yet, Jimmie?"
21980	Go on, young fellow; tell how the paper chances to come in your possession, and who marked it?"
21980	Had another breakdown already, after that dandy job done to your motor?"
21980	He wondered whether Jimmie could have been mistaken about seeing and hearing the two bank thieves?
21980	Herb and I have got that settled, have n''t we, Herb?"
21980	How about it, Buster?"
21980	How are we going to have lots of trouble in the last half, more than in the beginning?"
21980	How can I stand another three days of this agony?
21980	How does that strike you?"
21980	How many matches have we got with us, Jimmie?"
21980	How was that for a swift run on a foggy day, one hundred and thirty miles?
21980	How would you account for such a thing, my fine fellow?"
21980	I would have to shoot then, would n''t I?"
21980	If Buster keeps on losing flesh, what in the world d''ye suppose the blessed old_ Comfort''s_ going to do for_ ballast_?"
21980	If so be the chance ever comes when we kin return the favor, call on us; eh, fellers?"
21980	Is it supper ye''re afther wantin?
21980	Jack, you remember all they told us above about the troubles down here in the region around Coahoma county?
21980	Josh, take a look, will you?
21980	Just to think of me putting the blessed wings so carefully away in that same cubbyhole, and then forgetting all about it?
21980	Look at the big grins they''re carrying, would you?
21980	Next trip we take, my man, it''s you to the_ Comfort_, hear?"
21980	Nobody ai n''t got twins, have they?"
21980	Now, Jack, suppose you tell us what''s on your mind?
21980	Now, do n''t you say a single word against that, Jimmie, do you hear?
21980	Och I wirra, listen till that, would yees?"
21980	Perhaps your little_ Tramp_ might overhaul the other craft, or keep them going till daylight, when we could corner the yeggs?"
21980	Right now the same delusion sames to strike me, an''sure am I dramin'', or is that something like a house below?
21980	Room thar alongside yer fire fur three tired and mighty thirsty and hungry coon hunters?"
21980	Say, why did he run away, then?
21980	See the point, fellows?"
21980	Seen anything of''em, boys?
21980	Some tone to them craft, hey?
21980	Suppose the beast was mad, and insisted on coming at us on his hind legs, ready to squeeze us like they often do?
21980	Suppose we did get really cleaned out some fine day, am I bound to begin on him for chops?"
21980	Suppose we get busy right away with it?
21980	Sure you ai n''t going too strong when you do that, Jack?"
21980	Talk about your speed, ai n''t she got it to burn, though?"
21980	That''s a punk sort of a job, ai n''t it now, George?"
21980	That''s right, boys, ai n''t it?"
21980	The only thing I''m wondering is what boats coming up- stream do in a mess like this?
21980	There, did ye be savin''that now?
21980	Think this is an excursion to teach fellows who wo n''t try it on at home, how to swim?
21980	We do n''t tell_ everything_ we know, do we, Josh?
21980	Well, what d''ye think of that for a beauty, George and Buster?"
21980	What d''ye think, most of''em did n''t know what I meant when I asked for swimming wings?
21980	What do you say, Jimmie?
21980	What happened to the same, if you are in a position to say?
21980	What has the boy discovered now, I wonder?"
21980	What should be done?
21980	What will we do, Jack?
21980	What would you think if I told you there was a thousand dollars reward out for each of you if taken; and five times that if the swag is found intact?"
21980	Whatever in the wide world would you do?"
21980	Where do we hide?
21980	Why, Josh, the fact is you look a hundred per cent better right now, do n''t he boys?"''
21980	Will they arrest us for breaking the speed laws down south?"
21980	Wo n''t it just fit in my den, though?
21980	Wo n''t it make George feel down in the mouth to be last at the stake?"
21980	Wo n''t somebody please give this elephant a punch, and wake him up?
21980	Wonder if that''s Jimmie now?"
21980	Would n''t you make a bee line for that grub factory, and see if you could n''t sneak a share off?
21980	You know I said I''d stick by you to the bitter end; and nobody ever knew Nick Longfellow to back water, did they?"
21980	You know the bank over at Waverly?
21980	ai n''t that all to the mustard, though?"
21980	bother those old junk things; will we ever hear the last of the wonderful stunts Pudding expects to do with''em''?"
21980	but ai n''t she a corker, though?"
21980	but would n''t I have room to turn around in when aboard the_ Comfort_?
21980	did ye say that floater we passed?
21980	do you really think so, Jack?"
21980	gasped Nick, half way over the side;"who mutinied?"
21980	hear that, would ye?"
21980	is that the silver cup trophy?
21980	it was n''t a panther, was it?"
21980	was that really a rustle he had heard just then?
21980	what d''ye think?"
21980	what made you take such exact notice of the time, may I ask?"
21980	what''s that?"
21980	why was I born under an unlucky star?
21980	would ye moind now if I got a bite of grub?
21980	you mean that that launch is heading for us; is that it, Jimmie?"
30727	Ai n''t it queer how things run? 30727 Ai n''t this early in October for duck hunting, Jack?
30727	And after that, what?
30727	And do we head for the shore now, Jack?
30727	And just why me, any more than you?
30727	And so you''ve been hiding out for a whole month, have you, George?
30727	And we''ll really be in Florida then, will we?
30727	And what are you doing here on the shore of Chincoteague Bay, creeping into a camp, and raiding our provisions?
30727	And who''d want a finer cushion than our Nick?
30727	Anyhow, he did n''t get me, did he, fellows?
30727	Are you turning now, Jack?
30727	But as we have n''t any oven along, how can we roast''em? 30727 But can they overtake the measly thing?"
30727	But glory be, what ails the ould thing?
30727	But how are we going to find out?
30727	But looky here,Josh flashed up,"do n''t you reckon I''ve heard owls hoot before now?
30727	But what in the Sam Hill ails the bally old boat, then?
30727	But what of me, kind sors?
30727	But which side do you live on?
30727	But you have n''t told us why you''re here, instead of over in Pokomoke City, where you belong, George?
30727	But,Nick went on, still half dazed,"he''ll never see his blessed old anchor any more, will he?
30727	Can you tell me anything about a certain party named Van Arsdale Spence?
30727	Could I do anything for you while there? 30727 Could you tell us exactly where?"
30727	Cud I? 30727 Did I understand you to say that you would be willing to do me a little favor, if it did n''t put you to much inconvenience?"
30727	Did you get hurt when that tug struck your boat?
30727	Do you happen to know where he could be found, sir? 30727 Do you mean if we found ourselves far out on the dark sound?"
30727	Do you mean that you were on your way to see Mr. Spence at the time your boat struck a snag?
30727	Do you need any help, George?
30727	Do you really mean it, Jack, darlint?
30727	Do you think we''ve been heading out too far, and is that the reason, Jack?
30727	Do you think you can get aboard the tug now, my man?
30727	Eh? 30727 Excuse me, are you Pete Smalling?"
30727	Full speed,_ Comfort_?
30727	Fun, is it?
30727	He could n''t have been playing a trick on us, could he?
30727	He''s getting hungry already, I do believe?
30727	Here, own up, Jack, old boy, what''s got you? 30727 Hit her up; who cares for expenses?"
30727	How about it, Jack?
30727	How about it, boys; shall we take George to Franklin City, or give him a good breakfast and let him wait for Susie and the kids?
30727	How about signals?
30727	How d''ye like cowld lead, me bully bhoy? 30727 How much does he want, my lad?"
30727	How much further do we have to go, Jack?
30727	How under the sun did you get close enough to knock the big bird down with a charge of quail shot?
30727	How''bout that ere dollar, boss?
30727	How''d it be for one of the boats to do the towing act?
30727	How''s this for the right morning?
30727	I do n''t suppose that this son''s name could have been Malcolm?
30727	I say, Jack, would ye moind turnin''the glass back yander and tellin''us what sort of thing that cloud is that hugs the wather so close? 30727 I suppose it''s a square deal George gave us?"
30727	I suppose this Mr. Spence must have lived around here quite some time?
30727	I wonder will we really find this party, when we get around Beaufort?
30727	If you did n''t get hungry where would be the pleasure in living, tell me that?
30727	Is it good to eat?
30727	Is that a fact, George?
30727	Is there any end to''em?
30727	Just listen to that howl out yonder, and then call this bully place a bad name, will you? 30727 Let up on that, wo n''t you, Jack?
30727	Look at that tug bucking up against the tide, will you?
30727	Look at the_ Wireless_, would you, fellows? 30727 Looky there, what''s that over yonder on the water-- gulls?"
30727	Meaning the little sealed packet the skipper of the hydro- aeroplane gave into my keeping?
30727	Might I ask what your names are, in case we ever do run together again?
30727	Might have been a striped skunk, Jack?
30727	More inlets beyond that, are there?
30727	Not near that awful Murderkill Creek, I hope?
30727	Now, listen to him, would you, calling me a cargo?
30727	Now, that''s a rather interesting story you tell; but how can we know that it''s true? 30727 Now, what do you mean by that?"
30727	Now, you think you''re going to scare me, do n''t you?
30727	Perhaps when she does come it may be in the west?
30727	Perhaps you c''n digest pretty near anything, you''re such a walking cemetery, Nick; but I bet you draw the line at a wooden duck, hey?
30727	Say, Jack, do we get out of this place tonight?
30727	Say, if mallards can touch the spot like this, what must redheads or canvasbacks be like?
30727	Say, mister, ca n''t you manage to drop me ashore somewhere below here?
30727	Say, why ca n''t we sneak up on''em, and knock about six on the head?
30727	See any signs of a harbor, Jack?
30727	So I see, old Pete Smalling, eh? 30727 So that''s the way the tide sets, is it?"
30727	Suppose now that same thing had happened in the middle of the night? 30727 Sure; and please tell me where you expect to stow all that truck?"
30727	That means another of those earth ovens tonight, do n''t it, Jack?
30727	That''s Chincoteague Light, ai n''t it?
30727	The great Cape Charles Light, ai n''t it, Jack?
30727	Them''s my name, Mistah; what kin I do foh yuh?
30727	Then the packet is,--where?
30727	Then there are sharks around?
30727	Then we strike across that inlet soon?
30727	Then what next?
30727	Then what?
30727	Then, if all goes well, we ought to bring up at Jacksonville inside of say two days at the most; is that so, Jack?
30727	Then, tomorrow we''ll have to cross the mouth of the Chesapeake and arrive at Norfolk or Portsmouth; is that the programme?
30727	Think you can hold out that long?
30727	W- w- what''s all this mean? 30727 Was it a burglar?"
30727	We must have been camping in Delaware last night, eh, Jack?
30727	Well, did you ever?
30727	Well, of all the funny things, do n''t that take the cake, though?
30727	Well, who would n''t, when you can hear the lap of the little waves out there on the creek?
30727	What ails George, do ye know?
30727	What ails that silly goose?
30727	What are you changing the course for?
30727	What can we do, Jack?
30727	What did you run up against, George?
30727	What did you shoot at, Nick?
30727	What did you think it was, young fellow, an old- time roc come back to life?
30727	What difference does it make to us, tight in our snug little hunting cabin? 30727 What do you take me for, Nick, a dray horse?"
30727	What if my tank goes empty again?
30727	What is it?
30727	What is the name on the envelope-- you can tell me that, ca n''t you?
30727	What time is it?
30727	What was that?
30727	What would you be after going ahead for, then?
30727	What would you have done in that case, Jack?
30727	What''s all the hurry?
30727	What''s that light away off there to the south, Jack?
30727	What''s the matter with you?
30727	What''s this mean, Jack?
30727	What''s to hinder our sleeping on shore tonight, fellows?
30727	What?
30727	When does the moon show up?
30727	Who''s afraid?
30727	Who''s playing this trick on me?
30727	Who, me? 30727 Why not; I''ve heard that even fishy ducks can be eaten, if you take the trouble to draw the feathers and skin off together?"
30727	Why, do n''t you know there is n''t such an animal in North America?
30727	Why, do n''t you understand?
30727	Why, sure,cried Josh,"did n''t you see how smitten Nick was with that little brunette with the snapping big black eyes?
30727	Will George shoot the monster-- for I take it a shark must be of pretty good size to run away with a motor boat like that?
30727	Would a dollar pay you for showing us?
30727	Yes, I''m on deck, all right; what is it?
30727	You fixed some stuff for starting a fire in a hurry, did n''t you?
30727	You passed his old home as you came here, and perhaps you noticed the house in among the trees, the one with the red- tiled roof?
30727	A short time later, Jack, who had been rummaging around aboard the_ Tramp_, called out:"Anybody see my old coat lying around loose?"
30727	A tiger, did he say?
30727	A whole dollah yuh sed, did n''t yuh, suh; and make out tuh git me back in Beaufort agin?"
30727	All ready, are you?
30727	And we''re going to make it after all?
30727	Are you all of the same mind about bunking aboard?"
30727	But Jack, do they ever make use of such awful thin- looking hogs as this?"
30727	But about what time do we go ashore, boys?"
30727	But are you in company with those other two jolly little boats way off yonder?"
30727	But later on I am to give some exhibitions in the South; and would n''t it be strange now if we happened to meet up with each other again?"
30727	But we''d have to wait over at Lewes just the same, so what''s the use?"
30727	But what if one of those exasperating breakdowns, to which the mechanism of the narrow boat seemed subject, should take place without warning?
30727	But what''s the use crossing a bridge till you get to it?
30727	Could you pilot us to where Mr. Spence is to be found?"
30727	D''ye reckon it was a deer he knocked over, Jack?"
30727	Did he drop down out of the sky, or have you engaged a pilot for the treacherous waters of the lower Chincoteague Bay?"
30727	Did n''t you care much whether you ever got that mysterious packet into the hands of this Spence fellow?"
30727	Did you ever hear the like of that?
30727	Eight hours on the ocean; just think of that, will you?"
30727	Fun, do ye say?
30727	Going all the way to Florida, you say; and by the inside passage, too?
30727	Got all that, now?"
30727	Gut a boat, Mistah, ai nt yuh?"
30727	Had he done anything for which he could be taken to task by the law?
30727	He''s headed for the nearest inlet at this very minute; but we''ll beat him at that little game, wo n''t we, George?"
30727	Headed up or down, may I ask?"
30727	Hear the waves break on shore, would you, Jimmy?
30727	Here were six of the happiest young chaps on the face of the globe; and, indeed, how could they help it?
30727	Here, where''s that lantern of ours, Jimmy?
30727	How about that, Jack; am I correct?"
30727	How now, Commodore, do we be after puttin''in to the rescue?"
30727	I could make circles around the whole bunch if I wanted to; but what''s the use?
30727	I hope you fellows do n''t think of butting into such a howler as this?"
30727	I let you have it, remember?
30727	I reckon those fat legs of his''n must be hollow, for how else could he stow away all the grub he does?
30727	I see, you hope to keep tabs on our course by ear, when the eye fails us; is that it, Jack?"
30727	I wonder, now, would that happen to take you in the neighborhood of Beaufort, North Carolina?"
30727	If Spence cain''t bring me, yuh promise tuh do hit, do yuh?"
30727	If there_ has_ to be somebody go overboard to hunt for mermaids, let me off, wo n''t you, fellows?"
30727	Jack, ai n''t that fog?"
30727	Jack, somebody come on in, and help me land him, wo n''t you?"
30727	Jack, why not try that hole in the ground trick that you showed us last year when we were down on the Mississippi?"
30727	Look at the bog- trotter kicking out yonder, would ye?
30727	Now tell us why you crawled into camp and tried to lift those roast ducks?"
30727	Now we''re safe out from the rocks along the shore, why not hit her up, an''overhaul the rist av the bunch, Jack?"
30727	Now what''s he doing, fellows?"
30727	Now, what do you say about my marksmanship, Josh Purdue?"
30727	Pete, struck a job at last, after looking for ten years?"
30727	Please keep it safe, will you, Jack?"
30727	Presently the tug came alongside, and an anxious voice called out:"Was he much hurt, boys?
30727	Say, mebbe a fellow would n''t get rich on the job, eh?
30727	Shall I tell him how queerly we met?"
30727	The question was, did he dare risk it?
30727	Then we must turn back, and go there?"
30727	Think I gathered enough?
30727	Turn your bally old tub, Herb, ca n''t you?
30727	Want any more, Josh?"
30727	Was it some prowling bear that had followed the scent, and dug out the cooked fowls?
30727	Was that a grunt of satisfaction he now caught?
30727	We must stick it out together, hear?"
30727	We''d all like to meet him again, eh, boys?"
30727	What could that dark object be?
30727	What do you take me for?"
30727	What if that line of foamy water was increasing in size as it rushed at them, until it assumed dreadful proportions?
30727	What makes you tell us that, after hearing what those oystermen said about the danger we''d run, if we were caught in the big bay in a storm?"
30727	What''s all this mean?"
30727	What''s your name, to start with?"
30727	Whatever d''ye suppose it was, Jack, old top?"
30727	Who said he was sleepy?"
30727	Who''s afraid, anyhow?
30727	Who''s afraid?"
30727	Who''s your friend, and whose duck is he making''way with, fellows?
30727	Will you come along?"
30727	Wo n''t we have a fine time picking the shot out of our teeth, if we try to eat him?
30727	Would he be justified in shooting?
30727	You just go and stew in your own gravy, will you?
30727	by the way, did this gentleman ever have any family?"
30727	cried Nick, as he made his fat arms swing around his head like a couple of old- time flails;"what d''ye call all this, tell me?
30727	desert my boat in time of need?
30727	did you ever hear such a terrible name as that?"
30727	do n''t that just make your mouths water, boys?
30727	do you think there''s any chance of that?"
30727	ejaculated George, pretending to look unconcerned;"and just why is that, please?"
30727	let up, wo n''t you?"
30727	no oysters for breakfast?
30727	remarked George,"what else is going to detain us?
30727	that must be Africa over there, then?"
30727	that''s the same last name as his, ai n''t it?"
30727	was n''t the same a scorcher, though?"
30727	what d''ye think George is made of to play such a foolish game?"
30727	what you trying to do again; throw me overboard?"
30727	where did you ever hide that bully new oyster knife I bought up in Philadelphia?"
30727	why could n''t we have been along?"
30727	why not make a change again, and you get aboard the_ Comfort_?"
30727	wild turkey roasted?"
30727	would n''t that make ye wink, now, Jack darlint?"
40903	Ai n''t he the terror though? 40903 Ai n''t this simply glorious?"
40903	All the same,Nick responded, calmly;"how do I know but I may have to jump overboard after Sallie?
40903	And how would I keep my big boat evenly balanced?
40903	And is Buster at his old tricks again?
40903	And now, what''s the programme?
40903	And that Mud Lake you were telling us about is somewhere along there, ai n''t it?
40903	And was his name Clarence Macklin?
40903	And we have to wait till tomorrow noon before we are in touch with a market, do we? 40903 And you, Herb?"
40903	Another Canada pussy cat?
40903	Any other suggestions?
40903	Anything more happened to that fellow Buster? 40903 Are you Andrew Fosdick?"
40903	But George, even if you coax him to the end of the pasture you know I''m so slow I never could make the fence before he caught up with me?
40903	But how is it we did n''t glimpse it before?
40903	But if they did n''t want to say us agin, what in the dickens did they iver kim up this way for, I doan''t know?
40903	But it might rain?
40903	But look there, fellows; what d''ye call that?
40903	But there''s still another package; how about that, Buster?
40903	But what''s in all these other packages?
40903	But when will you go?
40903	But why did Josh jump? 40903 But would you look at Josh, what he''s bringing ashore now?
40903	Ca n''t we manage somehow to cook something warm?
40903	Changed your tune, eh?
40903	Course I''d like to, Buster; but tell me, what can I do?
40903	Cow? 40903 Did n''t he hint something about coming up in this region later on?"
40903	Did they follow after you, Joe?
40903	Did you ever hear the beat of that, George? 40903 Did you ever see anything like it?"
40903	Did you get caught in that storm?
40903	Do n''t I know them two fellows though? 40903 Do n''t I know you''re just going to shut me out of this rescue game?
40903	Do n''t I wish I had wings right now; or somebody''d drop down in an aeroplane, and snatch me out of this pickle? 40903 Do we go ashore now?"
40903	Do we go ashore to a restaurant tonight, Jack?
40903	Do you happen to have a young fellow here in this camp by the name of Andy Fosdick?
40903	Do you see the other girl, Rita Andrews?
40903	Do you think they meant to try and force blackmail?
40903	Guess you wonder what kept us back so long?
40903	Have you had any lunch?
40903	Here, Josh, any hot coffee left in the pot?
40903	How about Canada kitties?
40903	How does it come, d''ye suppose, that we have n''t seen a blessed steamer all this morning, going in either direction?
40903	How far do you suppose that place was away from here?
40903	How far would we be from the city at the rapids, then?
40903	How is it, Buster?
40903	How is it, George?
40903	How long would we be gettin''up till the Soo now, Jack, darlint?
40903	I am, eh? 40903 If you like, I''ll tell him the whole story?"
40903	Is it Jocko?
40903	Is it, Jack?
40903	Is that Canada over yonder?
40903	Is that all?
40903	Jack,called out Nick, looking beseechingly at the commodore of the fleet,"take my part, wo n''t you?
40903	Just remember that, will you; and it''s got to be powerful enough to hurt like fun; eh, Jimmie?
40903	Leave Buster alone, ca n''t you?
40903	Listen to Buster, would you, fellows?
40903	Listen to the traitor, would you?
40903	Look at her cut through the water, would you?
40903	Looks like a big mirror; did n''t I tell you that wind had blown itself out?
40903	Mad just because you did n''t get me, ai n''t you, mister?
40903	Me?
40903	Now tell us what happened, Joe?
40903	Now, what do you think of that?
40903	Now, what next?
40903	Now, what under the sun do you think he meant?
40903	Now, when we got permission to make this cruise we promised not to take unnecessary risks-- am I right, fellows?
40903	Quit raising the lake that way, ca n''t you?
40903	Ready, both of you?
40903	Say, do you know you fellows are that prompt you just seem to jump into your places?
40903	Say, speaking of that fellow, wonder what''s become of him?
40903	Say, you do n''t mean to tell me that the staunch old engine in the_ Comfort_ has been up to any antics?
40903	Shall we try it out then, tomorrow, when we leave here; in a friendly way of course, I mean?
40903	Sure it is; but see here, you do n''t really think anything_ will_ happen, do you?
40903	Tell me that, will you? 40903 That was your son, I take it?"
40903	That''s what kept you so long, was it?
40903	The boats?
40903	The little monk ye mane?
40903	Then Clarence is still in the hands of those two rascals?
40903	Then the_ Flash_ must have been wrecked?
40903	Then there was n''t any bull handy?
40903	Then we start back tomorrow?
40903	Then you did n''t know your mother was dead?
40903	Then you managed to escape?
40903	Think I want to get washed out on that pond without something to hold me up? 40903 Think the bally old storm is over, Jack?"
40903	Toward the west, you mean; for you came from that direction?
40903	Two men, you say?
40903	Upside down?
40903	W-- was Clarence drowned?
40903	Want to flood us out of our camp, do you?
40903	We''re willing to talk this thing over; but at a proper distance, do you hear, Buster?
40903	Well, I take my punishment decently, when my turn comes, do n''t I?
40903	Well, do you think the_ Wireless_ is bound to monopolize_ all_ the mud in the St. Mary''s river?
40903	Well, how did you get away finally?
40903	Well, it''s so, ai n''t it?
40903	Well, what is it?
40903	Well, what''s doing now?
40903	Well, you understand that in a case of this kind only desperate remedies will do, Buster?
40903	What are you going to do with that thing, Buster?
40903	What can I do, fellows?
40903	What d''ye stand there gaping for? 40903 What d''ye think of me, then?"
40903	What did they do with him at such times?
40903	What did you see, Jack?
40903	What do you mean?
40903	What good would that do?
40903	What has happened? 40903 What if one of the boats is swept away?"
40903	What is it, Jack?
40903	What is it?
40903	What must we do, Jack?
40903	What next?
40903	What shall we do, Jack?
40903	What sort of men could they be to act like that toward a pair of shipwrecked boys?
40903	What was it?
40903	What was that?
40903	What would we be after doing with the leftovers?
40903	What''s all the row about?
40903	What''s that you''re shaking at him now?
40903	What''s that? 40903 What; do you know the old apple grower, too?"
40903	What?
40903	What?
40903	When did you escape, Joe?
40903	Where can the people all be? 40903 Where under the sun d''ye suppose he came from?"
40903	Where''s Nick?
40903	Where''s that coffeepot right now? 40903 Who pushed me in?"
40903	Who says I am?
40903	Who''s going ashore to find a butcher shop?
40903	Who''s got a better right, tell me? 40903 Why did n''t you warn me sooner?"
40903	Why, that was what Josh said too,lamented the prisoner;"but do n''t you see I ca n''t get it over to you at all?"
40903	Why, what''s the matter with him?
40903	Will it wash out, then? 40903 Wo n''t I tell on him, though, when we get back?
40903	Ye would, hey?
40903	Yes, do n''t you see we''re just crazy to hear?
40903	You know the penalty of disobedience to orders, Buster?
40903	You mean the little bay at the mouth of the river?
40903	You''re going to open up, then?
40903	A monkey have a pocketbook?
40903	Ai n''t our Jack the born lawyer though?
40903	And I hope that we''ll see him some time at our Oak Park home, do n''t you?"
40903	And do you know what I think it is, fellows?"
40903	And if some one chooses to decline a portion of his prog; and my appetite is not satisfied, what harm in commandeering the remains?"
40903	Are you going to sneak in the pasture, and tempt the bull away?"
40903	Are you ready for the job?"
40903	Are you ready?"
40903	Arriving at the spot, the giant bent over, and they could hear his growl as he spoke harshly:"Made up yer mind yet, younker?
40903	Besides, Herb, how do we know that the bally old boat may n''t take a notion to duck under, just when we get close by?
40903	Besides, what would I do when we got to the Soo?
40903	Buster, you silly, do n''t you know a bull when you see one?"
40903	But did you hear what Buster said about him feeling in his pockets?
40903	But is that him coming over yonder?"
40903	But why do n''t you do something to help a feller out of a hole?"
40903	But you can laugh all you want to, smarties, she waved her hand to me all the same, did n''t she, Jack?"
40903	But you spoke as if there might be still another reason for our not getting to the river tonight?"
40903	CHAPTER II THE CAMP IN THE COVE"Hey, Buster,"cried the one on the other side of the fence,"where did you say Josh was?"
40903	CHAPTER IV CAUGHT BY THE STORM"I wonder if they know we are camping in this place right now?"
40903	CHAPTER VIII GEORGE WAITS FOR HIS CHUMS"What is it?"
40903	Ca n''t you coax him over there, Josh?
40903	Ca n''t you see I''m in danger of drowning?
40903	Ca n''t you throw on just a little more speed, Herb?
40903	Did one of the horses kick him?"
40903	Did ye say as how ye was bound for Lake Superior way soon?"
40903	Do I have to be shot, because I made a little mistake?
40903	Do I hear another scheme offered?"
40903	Do n''t you remember he did before?
40903	Do you agree with me?"
40903	Gee; what do you mean, Jack?"
40903	George, did you do that smart trick?
40903	Get what I mean?"
40903	Got any more, boys?
40903	Help me find a rope, wo n''t you?"
40903	Hit up the pace, will you?
40903	How about that, Jack?"
40903	How does your engine work, George?
40903	How is it, fellows?
40903	I do n''t believe bulls like red things, do they, Josh?"
40903	I do n''t see any storm, do you?"
40903	I''m ready to do my part as well as the next one, ai n''t I?
40903	If so be ye run across Andy, tell him I''m waitin''with my arms stretched out for him, wo n''t ye, boys?"
40903	Is n''t that right, George?"
40903	Is one of those dear little boats yours?"
40903	Is that it?"
40903	It was too late to change steersman now; and why spoil all their pleasure?
40903	It''s going to get you in trouble, some fine day, Buster, you hear me?"
40903	Jack wo n''t you help me out?"
40903	Josh assumed an injured air, as he spoke up, saying:"Now would you listen to that, fellows?
40903	Josh, pull it down from that branch, will you?
40903	Just remember that, will you, Buster?"
40903	Like me to slip down, and try to make that old fence, would n''t you?
40903	Look at that piece of old fence rail go flying, would you?
40903	Look at the baste, would ye?
40903	Looky here, Jack; what d''ye call that?"
40903	Make it easier for me, wo n''t you?
40903	Never going to be without it after this, you hear, Josh?"
40903	Nice way to use a new suit, ai n''t it?"
40903	No doubt you had thought of that?"
40903	Nothing broken I hope?"
40903	Say, did you ever see anything like that?
40903	See?"
40903	Seems as if we''re just bound to keep tagging at their heels, do n''t it, Jack?
40903	Speak up, now, d''ye hear?"
40903	Tell us, where did you catch''em, Josh?"
40903	That one would take in a whale, I guess, eh?"
40903	Then what would I do for any fun at all?"
40903	Think up some other way, wo n''t you, please, Jack?
40903	Think we''ll make it today, commodore?"
40903	Understand that?"
40903	Was he practicing stunts?"
40903	We insure our boats against explosion and loss; why not do the same about our chances for a jolly good time?"
40903	We''ll never forget it, will we, girlie?"
40903	We''ll promise to help you eat him, all right; eh, fellows?"
40903	Well, suppose we leave here tomorrow morning, if the weather lets us, Jack?"
40903	What d''ye take me for, a Spanish bull- baiter?
40903	What if a paddle chanced to break right then and there?
40903	What would have happened to us?"
40903	What you want to leave me behind for?"
40903	What''ll we do with him, fellows?"
40903	When did you hear from home last?"
40903	Who are ye, boys?
40903	Who did it?
40903	Why, do n''t you understand that Clarence Macklin never yet took a beat like a fair and square man?
40903	Will he go in that enclosure, or balk?"
40903	Will ye write thet letter jest as we tell ye, and let a couple o''honest though unfortunit men have a square chanct to rake in a leetle pile?
40903	Wo n''t you do that, Andy?
40903	Wonder where Clarence and Joe were then?"
40903	You hear me warble, Josh?"
40903	ai n''t he anxious to get at me, though?"
40903	ai n''t this great, though?
40903	ai n''t you goin''to help a feller?"
40903	and come again, would ye?
40903	cried the wretched Nick,"what d''ye mean, George?
40903	did wild animals get poor old Clarence after all?"
40903	do n''t I wish I had wings now?"
40903	ejaculated Jimmie,"look at the rickless fellow, would ye?
40903	gasped the astonished Nick;"and me go naked?
40903	is n''t that a fire over there?"
40903	just to think, if the boat had swerved then, where would we be right now?"
40903	let up on me, ca n''t you, and do n''t rub it in so hard?"
40903	let up on that, will you?"
40903	look at what''s coming, would you?"
40903	said George,"if you think this is fine, what will you have to say when we get to running the rapids in fact?
40903	shouted George, half turning his head to look at his mates; and then following his words with another cry:"Look at Jack, would you?
40903	tell me, was that really poor old clumsy Josh?"
40903	was n''t that a close shave though, boys?"
40903	what d''ye think of that, fellows?"
40903	what happened?"
40903	what''s the use of wasting a fine piece of browned trout like that?
40903	where are you, Buster?"
40903	why did n''t I think?
21507	A boy?
21507	About Tony, do you mean?
21507	Ai n''t I?
21507	An''does hit state jest wot the younker sed?
21507	An''yuh sped me tuh believe all thet?
21507	And ca n''t you see just what that must mean for us, Larry, old fellow? 21507 And do we have to walk two miles over all that ricketty kind of land?"
21507	And how long do you suppose it would take Gabe, if he started right away, to get back to the settlement?
21507	And is she going to stay there till this Northern eye doctor arrives, to perform the operation?
21507	And then it clears up, with the sun shining brighter than ever, ai n''t that so, Tony? 21507 And you brought your little blind sister all the way up here, did you?"
21507	And you''ve never been up in this region before, Tony?
21507	Any of those fresh eggs left we bought from that old cracker just outside the town limits?
21507	Because, as sure as anything, they''re driving two big stakes right into the ground out here-- two of''em, do you understand, Phil? 21507 Besides, what''s the use?"
21507	But Gabe is one of the McGee clan now, is n''t he?
21507	But about the alligator trick, Tony?
21507	But he did n''t shoot here, after all?
21507	But he managed to escape after all, you say?
21507	But how about the dog, then?
21507	But how will you know, now that you have been chased out of town?
21507	But just notice McGee, would you?
21507	But say, you do n''t mean to tell me there''s a telegraph station in the swamps?
21507	But see here, where under the sun did you ever get carrier pigeons? 21507 But suppose the sheriff drops in on us?"
21507	But what could he have shot at?
21507	But what makes Tony act like that?
21507	But whatever made you come up here, Tony, so far away from your home?
21507	But why did they drop back when they might have climbed aboard, and captured us while we slept?
21507	But why did yuh kim away, an''leave the pore leetle gal alone thar?
21507	But why should the terrible McGee bother his head about you and Madge?
21507	But you would get something to eat if you gave yourself up to the sheriff?
21507	By the way, did you hear a shot a little while ago, perhaps half an hour?
21507	Did he pull hard?
21507	Did you hear that?
21507	Do n''t you believe these shingle- makers down here may have just a little touch of Injun blood in their veins?
21507	Do n''t you suppose he''d have followed his nose, and discovered how we''d placed the turkey away so neatly? 21507 Do you really suppose that what he says is true, and Pete''s a regular pirate?"
21507	Do you really think our colored friend Pete is up against it again?
21507	Do you suppose he''d know you, Tony?
21507	Do you think they''re after some fugitive negro? 21507 Half a dozen, you say?
21507	Has that always been so, and do they come to actual blows occasionally?
21507	How about grizzly bears and wildcats and coons?
21507	How about our being disturbed tonight by some hungry wildcat that might scent fresh blood, and think to dine on our fine deer up yonder?
21507	How about that, Tony; do you think there''s any danger of such a thing happening?
21507	How big do they run-- about fifty feet?
21507	How far away was it, do you think?
21507	How long ago did you run away?
21507	How was that?
21507	How''s that, Phil? 21507 Huntin''?
21507	I do n''t see any sign of game around here, do you?
21507	I see you have heard my name before, Tony? 21507 I suppose your father was considerably surprised?"
21507	I wonder if I could catch any fish here?
21507	I wonder will they find the poor little chap?
21507	I wonder, now, has Tony''s mother spread the news far and wide among the other women of the village? 21507 If our turkey was still in the oven do n''t you suppose those dogs would have nosed it out in a jiffy after they arrived?
21507	If the runaway negro only knew that, I suppose he''d make straight for your settlement; because he''d be safe there from the sheriff?
21507	If you hark back a bit, perhaps you''ll remember my calling out, just at the time you discovered moving figures through the trees? 21507 It means the coming of the whole bunch, do n''t it, Tony?"
21507	Just look at Tony dancing around, would you? 21507 Kin yuh read it?"
21507	Larry,called out Phil,"was n''t there a lot of stuff left over from supper?"
21507	Looks good to me ahead there?
21507	Madge-- that means your little sister, does n''t it, Tony?
21507	McGee, are you there?
21507	Meaning that they tarred and feathered him?
21507	Now I wonder if it can be a youngster; and yet look at the full- fledged antlers, would you? 21507 Now about this big McGee,"he remarked;"is he such a terrible fellow, of whom even his own family keeps in terror?"
21507	Now what d''ye suppose all that shouting means?
21507	Now what do you mean by wigglers?
21507	Perhaps it might be a party from the up- river settlements, hunting down here?
21507	Perhaps this Tom Badger will go down the river to carry the news?
21507	Perhaps, now, you may have heard of the McGees, who make shingles down below? 21507 Say, ai n''t that dogs barking, Phil?"
21507	Say, did you hear what he said about the swamp boy licking his Bob?
21507	Say, do n''t they call those kind of chaps game butchers?
21507	Say, what''s that about a thief gettin''away with some of your grub?
21507	See here, Larry, own up now that you saw him crawl aboard our boat?
21507	Seen anything of him acomin''this aways, sah?
21507	Shake hands, wo n''t you, my friend?
21507	So, yuh be his boy, ther man as is a- gwine tuh cla''r weuns off his land if hit takes all ther sojers in Floridy tuh do hit?
21507	Something familiar about their baying, is there?
21507	Somewhere about that time, I guess; but why?
21507	Suppose you tell me, then?
21507	That means to tie up for the night, do n''t it?
21507	The air is from that quarter too, I notice; and of course you take that into consideration when you figure on the distance?
21507	Then let some one else read it out-- perhaps your wife?
21507	Then tell me why did yuh pick out this yer stream tuh bring yer boat down; I reckons they be heaps o''others thet''d suited better?
21507	Then tell us what you did mean?
21507	Then unless we started up, and ran for it, Gabe could get there sooner than our motor boat; is that a fact, Tony?
21507	Then what are they meaning to do with those stakes?
21507	Then you give in to Tony, and say no fire ashore tonight?
21507	Thet all?
21507	Tony, do you suppose now that Gabe came up the swift river in his dugout, which I noticed floating on the water near where he stood on that rise?
21507	W- was it a bobcat?
21507	W-- where, which, how, why? 21507 Was it not about the little sister you left up- river?"
21507	Well, how d''ye like your coffee then, with this evaporated cream in it?
21507	Well, how do his predictions pan out?
21507	Well, of course you''ve heard Tony try to convince me lots of times that it would be foolish in our stopping off to see his father?
21507	Whar was you campin''at the time? 21507 Whar''s yuh leetle sister; and why so did yuh desart her up yander?
21507	What ails you, Tony?
21507	What d''ye think of it?
21507	What happened, Phil?
21507	What might your name be?
21507	What was it-- a fox?
21507	What were you there for?
21507	What will you do with that awful beast out there, Phil?
21507	What yuh doin''hyah, boy, tell me that?
21507	What''s all the row?
21507	What''s that?
21507	What''s thet?
21507	What''s your haste? 21507 What''s your name?"
21507	Whose-- the bird''s?
21507	Why d''ye suppose he did n''t call out to you?
21507	Why up instead of down?
21507	Why, you do n''t mean to say your people would try to harm us?
21507	Will it come in here after us, Phil?
21507	Will they get him, do you think, Tony?
21507	Would you really like to tell him that?
21507	Yes, what is it, Tony?
21507	You are sure we will be able to keep on it, all right?
21507	You do n''t mean it?
21507	You do n''t suppose, do you, Tony, they could have heard us when you and Larry were having your jig- time with the old mossback''gator?
21507	You escaped from the convict camp, and it was you they were hunting with the dogs, was n''t it?
21507	You knew him, then, Tony?
21507	You surely wo n''t think of going back without that fine turkey over there, will you? 21507 You''re thinking of our colored friend, Pete Smith, the chap with the seven piccaninnies?"
21507	You''re wondering now if the good doctor from the North has arrived on time; and how the operation is going to pan out? 21507 Your father, then, must be hated almost as much as the McGee himself?"
21507	Yuh act like yuh kerried sumthin''''long wid yuh, younker?
21507	Yuh do n''t''pear tuh be a Southerner?
21507	Yuh father? 21507 Yuh wanted tuh meet up with me, yuh say?"
21507	A last wild hope flashed upon him-- would it be possible for him to seize hold of this, and draw himself out of the hole?
21507	An''Tony boy, do n''t yuh do nawthin''tuh thet chile as shooted yuh bird, d''ye hyah?
21507	And besides, did n''t you as much as tell me to keep an eye out for any sort of moving thing?
21507	And how could they get a living all the six months you''ve been in the turpentine camp, Pete?"
21507	And is that one bellowing now?
21507	And suppose this to have been the case, what had happened between them?
21507	Because, only for that, it might be a funeral feast instead of a joy spread, eh, Larry?"
21507	Besides, you told me he said he could n''t read a word; so how''s he goin''to know that the letter says what you declare it does?"
21507	But Larry, own up now, did you see him when you fired?"
21507	But Tony, tell me, what is that far- away booming we hear?"
21507	But how was he to reach it?
21507	But listen, Tony, what animal do you suppose makes that far- away sound?
21507	But look at that big bass I yanked in, would you?
21507	But speak up, younker, an''tell me who sent yuh wid the letter?"
21507	But stop and think, it was only midnight when Pete gave us that call, was n''t it?"
21507	But what if a hawk got your bird, what then?"
21507	CHAPTER XII THE SHERIFF AND HIS"DAWGS""Do you see that package, Pete?"
21507	CHAPTER XVI UNDER THE TWISTED LIVE OAK"Where did you ever learn that trick, Tony?"
21507	CHAPTER XXI A GLOOMY OUTLOOK"What can we do, Phil?"
21507	Could it be possible that Tony had met with any of the squatters during his little side hunt?
21507	Could it be some wild animal that was trying to get in at their provisions?
21507	Did n''t the dove bring that kind back to old Noah in the ark?
21507	Did n''t we see you tied up tuh the bank yonder, whar that palmetto bends down like?
21507	Did that mean they expected to pass over the whole two miles between that point and the village of the lawless shingle- makers?
21507	Do you think you understand?"
21507	Even though he could succeed in making a mat sufficient to bear his weight, how was he to draw his legs, one at a time, out of that adhesive stuff?
21507	Get a move on, ca n''t you?"
21507	Had the other thrown his arm up while sleeping, and in this way managed to arouse him; or was his action intentional?
21507	Have you had anything to eat this morning, Tony?"
21507	He''d be welcome, would n''t he, Phil?"
21507	How about it, Tony?"
21507	How about that, Tony?"
21507	How about that, Tony?"
21507	How c''n he git anythin''tuh eat in the swamps?
21507	How long could he hold out?
21507	How many children, Pete?"
21507	I wonder could that be so?"
21507	I wonder if it''s a fox hunt, or what?"
21507	I''m awful glad he got his, ai n''t you, Phil?"
21507	If so be any harm''s kim tuh Madge, I''ll skin yuh alive, d''ye hyah me?"
21507	If they hand you a new coat, think I''m going to let''em skip me in the bargain sale?
21507	If you got clear you could never go back to Tallahassee again?"
21507	Is that what you mean, Tony?"
21507	Just lift him once, will you, Larry?
21507	Just think of the colossal nerve of the thing, would you, Phil?"
21507	Lancing has writ, jest tuh pull the wool over our eyes?
21507	Lancing, do n''t yuh?"
21507	Look at that big blue heron wading in the water ahead, would you?
21507	Look at that half submerged log ahead there, will you?
21507	Lost, me?"
21507	Now, what shall we eat this morning?"
21507	One more night, and then we''ll come in touch with your people, eh?"
21507	Phil, however would I get it off again?
21507	Phil, what d''ye think it can be?"
21507	Phil, whatever did you come down here to try and do anything for that terrible tyrant?"
21507	Phil, wo n''t you please hurry up?
21507	Say, Larry, are you going to try for fish this evening?"
21507	Say, if a fellow like that pounced down on my back some time, what ought I to do?"
21507	See here, was it the visit of those fellows that upset you, Larry?"
21507	See, I''ve caught three fine bass, Phil; and did n''t they pull like sixty, though?
21507	Shall I get it out?"
21507	Smacking himself on his chest proudly, he said:''Injun lost?
21507	Tell me, Phil, what''s that fire doing down there?
21507	Tell me, who''s boy be yuh?"
21507	Ten to one you''ve been to school a time, Tony?"
21507	There''s a white crane; and what d''ye call that other handsome white bird that just got up, Tony?"
21507	There, look, Larry, do n''t you see them running through the woods?
21507	Tony, having been born and brought up in the swamps, might know just how to go about the thing; but what could be expected of a new beginner?
21507	Tony, suppose you keep an eye out for the right tying- up place, will you?"
21507	Understand?
21507	Was the cat still there?
21507	We''re glad to know the fellow who dared lick that big bully of a Bob Brashears, see?"
21507	Were they still lying around the camp, filled with confidence that the hunter could redeem his boastful words, and return with the greatest of ease?
21507	What has the early bird got to do with the worm; or the worm with the early bird, as it is in this case?"
21507	What if he had caught the odor of that noble bird in his half starved condition?"
21507	What if the stubborn giant utterly refused to believe the good intentions of the new owner of the cypress swamp lands?
21507	What if they''ve already scented the glorious chance to get the things they''ve just wanted all their lives?
21507	What is it you''ve got?
21507	What then?
21507	What was the need when Tony had things all his own way?
21507	What''s his name, Pete?"
21507	Who shot?"
21507	Why did n''t you shoot anyhow and take chances?"
21507	Wo n''t you have it read out loud, so everybody can hear what a fine man Doctor Lancing really is?"
21507	Wot we''ll jest do tuh this kid ai n''t wuth mentionin'', air hit, men?"
21507	Would Tony tell all that had happened to him?
21507	Would his chums ever come?
21507	You do n''t imagine for a minute, do you, Phil, that he means to betray us to his friends, and get us into trouble?"
21507	You know of your own account that he cares for these children, do you?"
21507	You remember what Tony told us about how they treated him the last time he was here?
21507	ai n''t we going to live high, though?
21507	d''ye think a suspicious man like McGee would trust either of''em in a matter like this?
21507	did you hear him say it was a desperate convict, Phil?"
21507	do you really think such a thing could happen?"
21507	exclaimed Phil,"any relation to our friend the sheriff, now?"
21507	if you could only see what they''re doing, Phil?"
21507	is that it?"
21507	remarked Phil,"and he thinks considerable of them, does he?
21507	that was a deer, was n''t it?"
21507	then he has a wife and children?"
21507	then you have a family, have you?
21507	understan''?"
21507	was n''t Mr. Barker a fierce looking gent, though?"
21507	was something running away with it, then?"
21507	we has, hey?"
21507	what can I do?"
21507	what d''ye think of that, now?"
21507	what was that, now?"
21507	what was that?
21507	where you going, you Larry?"
21507	yes,"laughed Phil;"just like the Indian did, we read about, eh?"
21507	you mean an alligator bull, do n''t you?"
21507	you mean those everlasting water moccasins, do you?"
21507	you mean with Madge, your sister Madge?"
21507	yum, a real venison steak, cooked on the spot where the animal was shot-- what a treat for hungry fellows, eh?"
41434	All what?
41434	And Chister Haynes goes wid yes?
41434	And he was alone?
41434	And his addriss is Washington?
41434	And how much will the same be?
41434	And how the dooce did he git that same chance? 41434 And if I may ask, Captain, where did you git the name from?"
41434	And phwat could that be?
41434	And phwat would you do wid him?
41434	And the litters at Cape Newagen?
41434	And where did ye get that?
41434	And where is Mike?
41434	And which licked?
41434	And you have seen nothing of the_ Deerfoot_ since?
41434	And you will never, never, never tell?
41434	Are ye alone?
41434	Are you axing me to take you out in a boat?
41434	Are you sure it is solely on_ business_?
41434	Are you sure that is n''t him that''s coming up the road?
41434	Are you sure the_ Deerfut_ wo n''t play me the same trick it did last night and run away wid me?
41434	Are you sure you were n''t mistaken?
41434	Are you the son of Pat Murphy?
41434	Arrah, now, has n''t me dad and mither been writing me since they moved into this part of the wurruld and spaking of yersilf? 41434 Av coorse I do; have n''t I trained ye up to that shtyle of fightin''?"
41434	Av coorse; what might his name be?
41434	But I say what are you doing in this part of the world?
41434	But how will I know whin that right moment arrives?
41434	But why did n''t he give some particulars? 41434 But why did n''t the sign painter git the word roight?"
41434	Can we go by land?
41434	Can you do any better?
41434	Can you get the captain to put us ashore?
41434	Could n''t it have been some other boat that resembles her?
41434	Did he kill aither of ye?
41434	Did n''t ye give me the finest chance for a shindy that I''ve had since I lift Tipperary? 41434 Did n''t you take_ his_ cap?"
41434	Did n''t your mother tell you better?
41434	Did the fisherman say anything more?
41434	Did ye obsarve thim?
41434	Did you ever know of anything so crazy?
41434	Did you meet anybody on the road?
41434	Did you notice the one at the wheel?
41434	Did you see anything?
41434	Did you watch the_ Deerfoot_ after that?
41434	Do n''t I always do that, Keyes?
41434	Do n''t you find it rather lonely here?
41434	Do ye know ye''re holding the same upside down?
41434	Do ye recognize the same?
41434	Do you hear that, Peggy? 41434 Do you know anyone by the name of Mike Murphy?"
41434	Do you know them?
41434	Do you know what I think?
41434	Do you know where Mike is?
41434	Do you know who he was?
41434	Do you mean Mike Murphy?
41434	Do you mean she is drifting?
41434	Do you mean to find out what it is that is lying in that inlet?
41434	Do you notice it?
41434	Do you think he would do so if you met face to face?
41434	Do you want me to bring you back?
41434	Do you want to kill a fellow?
41434	Does he know you?
41434	Does he spake the thruth, dad?
41434	Have there been any burglaries or robberies in the neighborhood?
41434	Have we your permission, officer?
41434	Have ye''nough gas in the b''iler?
41434	Have you ever read about Deerfoot the Shawanoe? 41434 Have you thought, Alvin, that we have n''t a pistol between us?"
41434	How about a live coal of fire?
41434	How about your friend back there? 41434 How came you to be cast away?"
41434	How did you know my name?
41434	How did you make out?
41434	How do you make that out?
41434	How far dare you venture out with the_ Shark_?
41434	How far is it?
41434	How is that?
41434	How long have we been waiting?
41434	How many children have you?
41434	How much do you ask?
41434	How much does she want?
41434	How much will you pay for a sight of the message?
41434	How shall we do it?
41434	How was he dressed?
41434	How was it you happened to be passing over this road to- night when I found myself in so great need of you?
41434	How?
41434	How?
41434	How?
41434	I beg your pardon, friend, but is n''t this the Isle of Springs?
41434	I did n''t happen to have the change with me; can you help me out?
41434	I do n''t doubt the same, but I demands to know why he''lowed himself to git licked?
41434	I do n''t mean it, eh? 41434 I have heard of those and other causes,"said Chester, as the two sat side by side,"but what is the most common one?"
41434	I have n''t that much with me; will you take my promissory note?
41434	I obsarve a ship ahead; do ye think it''s a pirate?
41434	I suppose, Mate Murphy, you know all about sailing a boat?
41434	I''spose that is what your boat is called, Captain?
41434	If you know, what''s the use of my telling?
41434	In what part of the launch?
41434	Is it permitted to spake to the man at the wheel?
41434	Is it possible? 41434 Is it worth five dollars?"
41434	Is n''t he Prisident of the United States? 41434 Is n''t that enough to timpt one to mootiny?
41434	Is that a fact?
41434	It looks that way, does n''t it?
41434	It''s a parfect fit-- as the tramp said when he bounced around the kind leddy''s yard-- don''t I look swaat in the same?
41434	It''s''cause it happens to be so; ca n''t you read?
41434	Mighty glad of what?
41434	Mike, you acknowledge me as Captain and that my mate must obey orders?
41434	No fear of that; if it does, you know how to run it?
41434	No; did you?
41434	Notice what?
41434	Of course it is; what other boat could it be? 41434 Phwat''s that ye say?"
41434	Phwat''s that?
41434	Shall I tell him to hold a finger of aich hand in his ears while he''s aiting?
41434	Shall we search for the body before letting his father and mother know?
41434	Suppose our parents should be so foolish, do you think your father and mother would allow you to squander your time like that?
41434	Suppose you are seen?
41434	Suppose, dad, the ither chap is bigger and stronger-- what do ye ixpict of me?
41434	That maans, I''spose, ye''ll carry her in the house and put her to bed and kiver her up the same as a sick baby?
41434	Then ca n''t he be raiched by telegraph?
41434	Then he is n''t in the City of Washington, eh?
41434	To whom did Mike send his message?
41434	Waiting to see me?
41434	Was there ever such stupidity? 41434 Well, Gabe, do you intend to carry them to Augusta?"
41434	Well, here we are,said Alvin;"and what comes next?"
41434	Well?
41434	What about breakfast?
41434	What about?
41434	What boat was it?
41434	What causes backfiring, through the carburettor, Alvin?
41434	What did your father mean by sending you on such a fool errand?
41434	What do ye maan, ye spalpeen, by such outrageous thricks? 41434 What do you intend to do with him, Pat?"
41434	What do you make of it now?
41434	What do you make of it?
41434	What do you mean by such a question?
41434	What do you mean to do with us?
41434	What do you mean to do?
41434	What do you mean, Mike? 41434 What do you mean?"
41434	What do you say to my taking off my clothing and swimming out to it?
41434	What do you think stopped the boat?
41434	What do you think, Chester?
41434	What do you want of us?
41434	What does that mean?
41434	What for?
41434	What harm could have come if he had seen us?
41434	What has your fight to- night to do with playing a joke on him?
41434	What is it?
41434	What is it?
41434	What is that?
41434	What is that?
41434	What is the best we can do?
41434	What made him do that?
41434	What of it?
41434	What''s hendering the cratur?
41434	What''s that got to do with this business? 41434 What''s that?"
41434	What''s the matter, George?
41434	What''s the matter?
41434	What''s the need of that when we have found her?
41434	When did you see her last?
41434	Where are Alvin and Chester?
41434	Where are the byes?
41434	Where are you coming from now?
41434	Where can I maat the gintleman?
41434	Where did he tell you to deliver the reply?
41434	Where did you pick up your passengers, Gabe?
41434	Where do you live?
41434	Where do you live?
41434	Where is the''bacca I ordered ye to bring from Squirrel Island?
41434	Where is your warrant?
41434	Where might he be now?
41434	Where to now?
41434	Where will be the joke in that? 41434 Where?"
41434	Where?
41434	Where?
41434	Which the same is what I does always; why could n''t ye take a run over to Ireland this morning, now that ye are headed that way?
41434	Who are you?
41434	Who are you?
41434	Who are you?
41434	Who be you?
41434	Who is he?
41434	Who was Ben Thomson?
41434	Who would think it of them?
41434	Why did n''t you give it her?
41434	Why in the name of common sense should we say_ that_?
41434	Why not follow him down stream?
41434	Why not?
41434	Why should he be drowned more than we or you?
41434	Why should he do that?
41434	Why, thin, did the spalpeen say it was himself that was bested?
41434	Will ye oblige me by saying whither the two that has just passed out bought anything of ye?
41434	Will yer engagements allow ye to take me on a little v''yage?
41434	Wo n''t Chister, as ye name him, be jealous and indulge in mootiny?
41434	Would you blame us?
41434	Would you know either if you met him by day?
41434	You could n''t forward the same to him?
41434	You have heard of the robbery of the post office at Rockledge, Keyes?
41434	You have seen nothing of him to- day?
41434	You mean Jewett Cove, huh?
41434	You wish to have this sent to the President?
41434	''Spose now ye find it nicessary to go backward?"
41434	Alvin persisted:"How do you explain it?"
41434	Are you kidnapping them?"
41434	Are you?"
41434	Be the same towken, can ye tell me the cowldest thing on airth?"
41434	But I say, Mike, when did you arrive in Maine?"
41434	But the disturbing question remained to be answered: who was he and what did he mean by his actions?
41434	But what is the purpose of chasing them?"
41434	But what''s the use of guessing?
41434	By and by the operator looked into his face with perplexity and asked:"Why under the sun do you address your message to General Washington?"
41434	Can we buy something to eat?"
41434	Can you suggist something I kin do, Alvin, by the which I can git aven wid the owld folks fur the fun they''ve had wid me?"
41434	Chester asked:"Why should we get into your auto?
41434	Could it be he was really trying to keep out of sight?
41434	Could n''t ye persuade your dad, you j''ining company wid him, Chister, to give the thing a thrial for that long?"
41434	DO YE HAAR ME?"
41434	Did ye iver see me betray sich foolish waakness?
41434	Did you see anything more of him?"
41434	Do n''t you think that they look like a couple of desperate criminals?"
41434	Do ye hear me?"
41434	Do you know, Chester, I am more anxious about Mike than about the motor boat?"
41434	Finally she ended the stillness by sharply asking:"Why do n''t you speak, Benjamin?
41434	For instance, why should those fellows steal your boat?
41434	Gabe, what''s up?"
41434	George, did you notice him?"
41434	Have you?"
41434	How is it, Alvin, that we never had a suspicion of anything of that kind?"
41434	How much do ye mean to charge for a little row like that?"
41434	How old do you think I am?"
41434	I say, byes, will ye do me a favor?"
41434	If I signalled the steamer do you think she would come back and take me up?"
41434	If me dad has forgot to show a signal light at home or at Mr. Landon''s, I may run down the island before I obsarves the same-- phwat does that maan?"
41434	Ignoring the sarcasm, the other asked:"Ca n''t I hire a boat to take me across?"
41434	Is n''t that the correct way to spell''_ Deerfoot_''?"
41434	Is there anything further I can do for you?"
41434	May I not rush to your loving arms, Mr. Richards, before it is too late?"
41434	Moving about in his seat, he asked:"I say, young men, you have n''t any hard feelings agin me?"
41434	One of the wondering crew chanced to catch sight of the small craft as it shot by and called out:"What boat is that?"
41434	Phwat the dickens is_ that_?"
41434	Resuming his uncertain walk he called:"Are you hurt, Mike?"
41434	Richards?"
41434	Richards?"
41434	Richards?"
41434	The launch was sweeping round a bend in the river when Mike pointed to the right with the question:"Phwat''s that?"
41434	The poor officer squirmed and asked sullenly:"How should I know who they were?
41434	Then, too, what meant the muffled exhaust heard a few minutes before?
41434	There you have our story straight and true: what have you to say about it?"
41434	They came this way; where''s the other fellow?"
41434	This was the message:"Will you be good enough to tell me, if you can, whether a motor boat has passed down the river within the last few minutes?"
41434	Waiting till it was safe to speak, the Captain asked:"What did you see, Chester?"
41434	What can she have been doing down here?"
41434	What do ye intind to do with the_ Deerfoot_, Captain, when the summer is gone?"
41434	What do you say, George?"
41434	What has that to do with my young friends being in a position that looks as if they are your prisoners?"
41434	What have you to suggest, Chester?"
41434	What is the cause?
41434	What is wrong about it?"
41434	What were ye thinking of, Alvin, to let such a blunderhead manage yer craft?
41434	Where bound?"
41434	Where do you want to be tooken?"
41434	Where is the darlint that I may kiss the hid off him?"
41434	Who are you?"
41434	Who is that man you speak of as was dressed in gray?"
41434	Who might you be?"
41434	Will you do so?"
41434	With a downcast expression, he humbly asked:"Do ye expict me to win_ ivery_ time, dad?"
41434	With a grin he looked at Alvin and asked:"Do ye know what''s the hottest thing in the wurruld?"
41434	Would ye mind waiting here for three or four days till the quistion is settled?"
41434	Yas; I''ll take you thar; when do you want to start?"
41434	You wo n''t refuse me the favor?"
41434	Youth, high health, with every surrounding circumstance favorable-- what can bring more happiness to a human being?
41434	do ye maan to say_ she is moving_?"
41434	do you hear that?"
41434	exclaimed the amazed Alvin;"what do you mean?"
41434	exclaimed the delighted Alvin;"is n''t that fine?
41434	phwat''s that?"
41434	what is it you''re sayin''?
41434	what''s the matter?"
41434	what''s the use?"
41434	where are you going?
41434	where are your lights?"
41434	where is the spalpeen?"
41434	you heard that?"
50533	A boat''s coming, but is it the_ Sprite_ or the_ San Bruno_?
50533	Able to walk, George?
50533	Ah Choo makee lun launly, fire Ping Pong, you savvy? 50533 Ai n''t I easy?"
50533	Ai n''t I?
50533	Ai n''t Ross an''me entitled to our share, here an''now, if we want it?
50533	Ai n''t you coming with us?
50533	And you have sixty tickets, Joe?
50533	Any particular place you''d like to be taken?
50533	Are there cartridges?
50533	Are you hurt, Joe?
50533	Are you looking for a fellow answering that description?
50533	Are you trying to insult me?
50533	Arrest us?
50533	Big John, eh? 50533 But how am I to do it?"
50533	Ca n''t you go hand- over- hand up the swing rope, with the rifle and belt slung on you?
50533	Ca n''t you put about and take me to Sausalito?
50533	Can you run a motor launch?
50533	Chance? 50533 Changed your mind about going to''Frisco?"
50533	Did he take the money?
50533	Did n''t I put that to the note?
50533	Did n''t you buy a ticket to San Francisco?
50533	Did you come to this reservation looking for him?
50533	Did you find a trunk check over in Tiburon?
50533	Did you find the launch?
50533	Did you ship much water?
50533	Did you tell anybody in Tiburon about my finding that trunk check, Joe?
50533	Difference?
50533	Does it belong to this young fellow?
50533	Fall off the boat?
50533	For how much?
50533	For what?
50533	Gone?
50533	Got any money, George?
50533	Got any sand, Ping?
50533	Got any sand?
50533	Got enough?
50533	Have n''t you a thought for his people, back there in Wisconsin?
50533	Have n''t you got any sense, or are you just half fake and half false alarm? 50533 Have you got it now, Joe?"
50533	He likes motor boats, I believe you said, Joe?
50533	He rented her to that precious outfit of crooks and tinhorns, did he?
50533	How could he have got here if he had n''t rowed over? 50533 How could it have been him?"
50533	How did you do it, Ping?
50533	How did you happen to drop overboard?
50533	How did you know I had it?
50533	How did you know where I was?
50533	How do you make that out?
50533	How does that look to you? 50533 How far ahead is the_ Sprite_?"
50533	How is it more dangerous than from Cerrianaad to this?
50533	How was that? 50533 How you makee lun?"
50533	How''d I know?
50533	How''d it be if I went with you, Matt?
50533	How''ll you prove it?
50533	Howdy, George?
50533	I have n''t, eh?
50533	I suppose you think you''re pretty smart, eh? 50533 I think so; but even if the window is large enough for me, how about the tiger outside?"
50533	I will if I can; but how?
50533	I wonder if you would n''t?
50533	If I''ve got the sense to take no more than is good for me, what''s the odds? 50533 In the name of all that''s good, Joe,"cried Matt, as he and the cowboy shook hands,"where did you come from?"
50533	Is it your custom to take a fall out of every acquaintance you make?
50533	Is that square, John?
50533	Is the gentleman by himself?
50533	Is your name John Smith?
50533	It''s got the bundle of money in it, Matt-- Uncle Dan''s money_ sabe_?
50533	Jimmy, do you think you could manage to pass me the rifle?
50533	Kind of queer, that, do n''t you think, for a galoot that''s passed pretty near his whole life in the mines and in the cattle ranges? 50533 Landers thought you were a detective, did n''t he?"
50533	Landers?
50533	Meaning,added McGlory,"to get right in among''em, big as life, and run the risk of having them put the kibosh on you?"
50533	Mebby not, but what''s the good?
50533	Motor Matt?
50533	My workee fo''you, huh?
50533	No lady?
50533	Now what?
50533	Oh, you ai n''t?
50533	Positive? 50533 Raffle?"
50533	Sand?
50533	Say,cried the blear- eyed person,"is he the young thunderbolt as brought that submarine around from the Atlantic?"
50533	Smooth him down with a piece of velvet, eh?
50533	Speak to me about luck, will you?
50533	Speak to me about that, will you?
50533	Sufferin''Hottentots, Matt, did you hear him? 50533 Suppose we could arrange matters so the governor would treat you better?"
50533	Then you could work along the tie beam and reach the window, could n''t you?
50533	Then,said Matt,"it''s all a joke about you and your pals sailing for Honolulu to- morrow and dividing the money between you when you get there?"
50533	Two?
50533	Was there just ten thousand in the roll? 50533 We got out of that bunch of excitement with ground to spare, but why do we tie up here?
50533	Well, I''m not giving him anything till he proves his property, see? 50533 Well?
50533	What are his people to us? 50533 What are you going to do, George?"
50533	What difference does it make to you where you are, Matt, so long as you''re making a little good money?
50533	What do you want to know that for?
50533	What do you want with such a boat, then, if it makes you seasick to ride on the water, and if you do n''t know how to run a motor?
50533	What ever came over that chink to run off? 50533 What good would it do for us to overhaul them out in the bay?"
50533	What have you got against me?
50533	What in the world are you going to do with the craft if you win her?
50533	What is it, pard?
50533	What is the boy now but a thief, and on his own showing, at that? 50533 What label do you tote?"
50533	What made you think of such a foolish move, George?
50533	What next?
50533	What next?
50533	What now, pard?
50533	What of it?
50533	What sort of a gent is that Oakland man, anyway?
50533	What then?
50533	What trouble?
50533	What wood stack?
50533	What''re you givin''us?
50533	What''s it all about, pard?
50533	What''s it to you, anyhow?
50533	What''s that got to do with it, anyhow?
50533	What''s the diff?
50533	What''s the good o''readin''him a lecture?
50533	What''s the good?
50533	What''s the matter with you, chink?
50533	What''s there in our surroundings to worry us? 50533 What''s to be done with the_ San Bruno_?"
50533	What''s to pay now, pard?
50533	What''s your name?
50533	What?
50533	Where did you get that satchel?
50533	Where do you want that boat? 50533 Where you gettee, Charley?"
50533	Where you going, Lorry?
50533	Where''s the Chinaman, Joe?
50533	Where''s the key?
50533	Which way did they go?
50533	Who are they?
50533	Who gave you this, my lad?
50533	Who give you any right to butt in? 50533 Who owns that house boat?"
50533	Who''s Pote?
50533	Who''s got the nerve to hammer on that door before we''ve done anything but go to bed and turn over?
50533	Who?
50533	Why did he leave Madison, Joe?
50533	Why do n''t you come along?
50533	Why do you want to fight?
50533	Why, where''s the danger? 50533 Will you stay right here in this hotel while Joe and I are getting the money for you?"
50533	Worth a couple of hundred plunks?
50533	You Motor Matt?
50533	You Motor Matt?
50533	You did n''t expect Motor Matt to play lame duck while pullin''off a trick like that, did you?
50533	You did n''t really think we were trying to steal that money, did you?
50533	You got on the boat at Tiburon?
50533	You have n''t an idea those three tinhorns will have the nerve to go back to the house boat, have you?
50533	You the Tur''ble Turk in disguise?
50533	You took his boat across the bay for him, did n''t you?
50533	You''ll get it, though, wo n''t you? 50533 You''ll stay right here Lorry, until you hear from us?"
50533	You''re going along, eh, pard?
50533	You''re positive he''s the fellow you were looking for, Joe?
50533	_ Did_ he try,asked McGlory darkly,"or was it only a bluff?"
50533	Ai n''t it scandalous to be hip- locked with like that?"
50533	And how you going to play it?"
50533	And what have you gained by sneaking in here?
50533	And why was he acting in such a stealthy manner, as though in a hurry and fearing to be apprehended?
50533	And why?
50533	And yet, why not?
50533	Are you any better off?"
50533	Are you with me, Matt?
50533	Arrest them, why do n''t you, officer?
50533	But George-- say, ai n''t he the limit?
50533	But could you reach the ventilator window from the inside?
50533	But here''s the point: Can Landers run the_ Sprite_ fast enough to keep her away from the_ San Bruno_?
50533	But how did_ you_ get hold of it?
50533	But if I ca n''t use the_ Sprite_ I can sell her, ca n''t I?
50533	But what of that?"
50533	But what''re you thinking of?"
50533	But what''s the number?
50533	But what''s the plan?"
50533	But why there-- a quarter of a mile from their home?
50533	But why was she tearing off across the cove like that?
50533	But would n''t it have been better to let the law get in its work at Turk Bremer''s?
50533	But, tell me: Do things always come your way, like this?
50533	But,"he continued,"assuming that we_ have_ got that much money, how do you figure that it belongs to Lorry?
50533	Could I-- after warning Jimmy to unfasten the door-- slip down the tree and dash into the house?
50533	Could it be that Matt had picked up the very chap McGlory was looking for?
50533	Did Lorry steal it from his old man?
50533	Did n''t we see him try, at the Tiburon landing?"
50533	Did n''t you hear Red- whiskers speak about a launch?"
50533	Did n''t you use any of it?"
50533	Did you ever see any one of his age and size with less manliness in his make- up?"
50533	Do you recollect that we have n''t had a feed since we took that quick- order lunch at noon?"
50533	Do you think, pard, that he raised enough money on something to pay his passage to Honolulu?"
50533	Funny, ai n''t it?
50533	Geoffrey?"
50533	Go to Tiburon after a policeman or two or go on with the work ourselves?"
50533	Had they started for Tiburon to get a few policemen and bring them back to help their comrade out of his trouble?
50533	He''s not more than half baked; if he was n''t all of that, do you think he''d have tried to have us arrested for stealing that money?"
50533	How am I for a pard, anyhow?"
50533	How did Red- whiskers know we were here, pard?"
50533	How did you find out we were here?"
50533	How do we know you did n''t hide it on us?"
50533	How do you know one is chasing the other, though?
50533	How were they to turn out, and what were they to be?
50533	Huh?"
50533	Huh?"
50533	I reckon you think I''ve got everything but the long ears, eh?
50533	I was an easy mark, and-- and-- what''s the good of living, anyhow?"
50533	I was----""I say, have you a gun?"
50533	I wonder if that''s my friend, Mr. Smith, otherwise Red- whiskers?"
50533	I''m hungry to caper-- and you ai n''t going to hold back on a feller when he''s_ hungry_, are you?"
50533	If he did, does that make it his?
50533	If he was one of the gang, what was he doing there?
50533	If he was to take that step, seeking new friends and new fortunes, why not take it now?
50533	It do n''t make any difference to you where you land me, does it?"
50533	It shows you what he''s got in him that you can depend on in a pinch, see?
50533	Matt had got into trouble, all right, but had he gotten out of it?
50533	Mebby it''s me?
50533	Mebbyso my makee sleep in boat, huh?
50533	Motor Matt,"he went on, to the prisoner,"what did you lug that cop along with you for, when you came to the foot of Clay Street?
50533	Now that I have found him, what am I going to do with him?
50533	Now, another thought suddenly struck me: was there possibly a gun of some kind in the house?
50533	Or was it the three bad''Melican men who were doing the chasing?
50533	Savvy?"
50533	Savvy?"
50533	See that scar?"
50533	Speak to me about that, will you?
50533	Suppose Big John, Kinky, and Ross come back here in the_ San Bruno_?
50533	Suppose we open a bottle?"
50533	The point is, will you go?
50533	They would have looked nice describing that set of burglar''s tools, would n''t they?
50533	Think you could fool the wise boys your father had scramblin''around Chicago lookin''you up?
50533	Thompson?"
50533	Understand?"
50533	Was n''t it the natural thing for Landers to do?
50533	Was that young Lorry?"
50533	Was you afraid of that part o''town, and was he just a sort of bodyguard?"
50533	We''ll take a night train, and---- Where in blazes is that satchel?"
50533	We''ve got the money, have n''t we?"
50533	We''ve got to swim, I reckon, going off one side of the house boat as the launch ties up at the other?"
50533	Were Matt and McGlory on the other devil- boat trying to catch him?
50533	Were they Motor Matt and McGlory?
50533	What are you standing there like that for?"
50533	What could I do?
50533	What could he do to secure that satchel?
50533	What do you say, Charley?"
50533	What do you suppose the folks think, back in Madison?"
50533	What do you think of that for a joke?"
50533	What had the strange white man done?
50533	What have you gained, Motor Matt, by roughing things up like you did?
50533	What if he should pop out on to us?
50533	What if the demon happened to be lurking by the roadside as we passed?
50533	What is it to me, one way or the other, whether you''re telling the truth or not?"
50533	What more was left?
50533	What say?"
50533	What shall we do?
50533	What was that for, Ping?"
50533	What was your object?
50533	What would happen then?
50533	What''s a chink, anyhow?"
50533	What''s that-- a twenty- dollar gold piece?"
50533	What''s the use of givin''a feller money to take the boat?
50533	When did you break out on this part of the map?"
50533	Where are all those lamps?"
50533	Where are you going?"
50533	Where did you learn all that?"
50533	Where did you meet young Lorry?"
50533	Where row sticks?"
50533	Who are you, anyhow?"
50533	Who are you?"
50533	Who were the other two that blew in on us, pard, just as we had everything our own way?"
50533	Who''s got number seventy- three?"
50533	Who''s that chink that won the boat in the raffle?"
50533	Who''s there?"
50533	Why do n''t we keep right on to''Frisco?
50533	Why should I want to do that?"
50533	Why were McGlory and Ping leaving Matt when they must have known he was in difficulties?
50533	Will you take me to Sausalito after you meet your friend?"
50533	Wonder how many names Red- whiskers has got?"
50533	Wonder if he thinks he can melt_ me_?"
50533	Wonder why I did n''t find you?"
50533	Would n''t it be possible to take the satchel out of the cabin?
50533	Would n''t that knock you slabsided?
50533	You got to have a reason for every blamed thing?
50533	You rowed over from Tiburon?"
50533	You''re a pretty specimen, ai n''t you?
50533	_ Gracias!_""What are you thanking me for?"
50533	_ Quien sabe?_""There were two hundred tickets, you say, and they were sold at a dollar each?"
50533	_ Quien sabe?_""There were two hundred tickets, you say, and they were sold at a dollar each?"
50533	bellowed a gruff voice;"where the deuce is Landers?
50533	where had he gone?
28449	A public institution?
28449	Again, how?
28449	Am I fit to die, do you mean?
28449	And after that?
28449	And do you think, sir, that there''s only one honest man on earth?
28449	And it does n''t worry you, sir-- doesn''t make you anxious?
28449	And the patient, Clodis?
28449	And you answered?
28449	And you''re not afraid of the big chances of danger that you may be running?
28449	Any deep water there, sir?
28449	Any further word, Dawson?
28449	Any strangers around here?
28449	Any time to lock up?
28449	Are we going to be able to weather this, Captain Halstead?
28449	Are we to go in and anchor alongside?
28449	Are you going back to Lonely Island now, sir?
28449	Are you going to keep that up, Captain Halstead?
28449	Are you prepared to go to the bottom, Jasper?
28449	Are you ready to chance the mailing of them?
28449	Are you sure they have_ all_?
28449	Are you sure, Captain?
28449	Are you telling the whole, full truth?
28449	Are your papers sealed?
28449	Arthur Hilton he called himself, did he?
28449	As much of the truth as you want to lay bare before going to the bottom in this wild storm?
28449	But could n''t Terrero fix that?
28449	But did you see the nice plush boy that''s with Dalton?
28449	But she can turn over and ride keel upward, ca n''t she?
28449	But what can his plan be, anchoring on an open coast?
28449	But what does this lead to?
28449	But what would be the use of daring? 28449 But who can have done this trick?"
28449	But who can this Clodis be?
28449	By mail-- even registered mail?
28449	Ca n''t he remove such a governor?
28449	Can we possibly make it?
28449	Can you make out Dalton aboard of her?
28449	Dawson ca n''t send the electric wave that far, can he?
28449	Did you fellows know we were signaling you by wireless?
28449	Did you get anything at all?
28449	Did you hear how our sick man came to be hurt, sir?
28449	Did you know that you were going to see us?
28449	Did you see that?
28449	Did you see the man who landed on your side?
28449	Did you see, when the drab boat was more head- on, whether Lemly was at the wheel?
28449	Do n''t you think you''d better get up your rifle? 28449 Do n''t you understand, sir, that the rest of us have taken this whole business to heart?
28449	Do you forget that I command here?
28449	Do you know how things are done in South America?
28449	Do you know what I think, Hank?
28449	Do you mean, sir, that YOU SUSPECT ME?
28449	Do you see the bag that servant has?
28449	Do you think I''d let you boys stand the towing charges?
28449	Do you think our spark is still strong enough to carry far?
28449	Do you-- do you know-- what was in the stolen papers?
28449	Eh?
28449	Even if I were on shore, and Dalton walked right by me, what could I do?
28449	Fog?
28449	Full speed on the return?
28449	Going to return the money to Dalton when you find his address?
28449	Hank, are you feeling particularly strong to- day?
28449	Has it come any nearer?
28449	Have a cigarette, Dawley?
28449	Have we, though?
28449	Have you a fast, seaworthy boat within immediate call?
28449	Have you any other weapons, sir?
28449	He talks about nippers-- but where are they?
28449	How about that storm that threatened last night, captain?
28449	How are you going to beat them, if they try hard to get away?
28449	How did you come into our matter-- as a guard and a traitor?
28449	How on earth do you fellows happen to be on this ship, of all places in the world?
28449	How on earth do you happen to have that thing with you?
28449	How soon, Joe?
28449	How''s the wind been?
28449	How?
28449	How?
28449	How?
28449	I must do something-- quickly-- yet what?
28449	I wonder if Lemly is with this fellow?
28449	I wonder if Mr. Seaton will ever tell us?
28449	I wonder if our work for Mr. Seaton has started in earnest?
28449	I wonder if there''s any chance that our cruise will reach to South America?
28449	I wonder if they_ will_ dare to keep up a fusillade?
28449	I wonder why Mr. Seaton is so mightily interested in him? 28449 I''m not arrested, am I?"
28449	I?
28449	If I am, you would n''t expect me to grow confidential about it, would you?
28449	Is Anson Dalton one of them?
28449	Is it?
28449	Is that a black, fifty- foot schooner, low in the water, narrow and carrying tall masts with a heavy spread of canvas?
28449	It would be the enemy''s real chance, would n''t it?
28449	It would help Dalton greatly if Mr. Clodis died to- night, would n''t it, sir?
28449	Joe,called Tom to his chum as the latter came on deck between wireless performances,"do you notice that the fog is lightening off to weatherward?"
28449	Killed?
28449	Lie to and let us come alongside, wo n''t you? 28449 Lock the fellow up?"
28449	Looks like something''s going to happen, does n''t it?
28449	May I ask if you have a pistol, too?
28449	May we search in that closet for you, sir?
28449	Men of this coast?
28449	No?
28449	Nothing to report yet, Joe, old fellow?
28449	Now, who and what, in the game, is Dalton''s Elizabeth- boy friend?
28449	Now, why did I have to go and make such a fearful stumble as that?
28449	Now, you''d better get back to Hank, had n''t you?
28449	Oh, will you?
28449	Oh, you boys think you''ve finished things for me, do n''t you?
28449	Or a Jonah?
28449	Passenger? 28449 Picked up anything?"
28449	Say, can you beat that?
28449	Say, is n''t it all grand?
28449	Say, it''s weird, is n''t it?
28449	Say, you mentally- dented pilot of a fourth- rate peanut roaster of a boat, do you go by craft you know without ever giving a hail?
28449	Send out the wireless call once an hour, you say?
28449	Shall we keep together, or spread?
28449	Shall we try to send you a line for a tow?
28449	Smuggling diamonds under Anson Dalton''s orders, eh?
28449	So, then,hinted Captain Tom,"you know where to find one of the rich diamond mines of the world, but you do n''t dare go to it?"
28449	Stand close by the motors a few minutes, will you, Hank?
28449	Suppose Dalton and Lemly are not aboard that boat?
28449	That was why you tried to ruin our aerials?
28449	That was why, then,broke in Joe, suddenly,"when I received that message about the injury to Mr. Clodis, you were able to break in so quickly?"
28449	The Langley boats run to Rio Janeiro, do n''t they?
28449	The clouds up on the northeast horizon do n''t look exactly friendly, do they?
28449	The''Restless''ca n''t have broken loose during the storm, can it?
28449	Then Anson Dalton, if he gets away to Brazil, will have to board some regular liner or freighter? 28449 Then it wo n''t really do Dalton any good to start for Brazil unless he can get hold of the contents of the other set of papers?"
28449	Then what harm could it do to Terrero''s chances for Dalton to send him the cablegram direct?
28449	Then what_ are_ you going to do?
28449	Then why not rack your pantry stores in order to supply the biggest thing in a meal for all hands this evening? 28449 Then you ca n''t make this apparatus work for the sending of even a single message?"
28449	Then you''ll trust me to go as your messenger to Rio?
28449	Then you''re beginning to be afraid of that pair, are you?
28449	Then you-- you-- honestly believe I''d better make out another set of papers and mail them to my friends of the syndicate, at Rio Janeiro?
28449	This will bother wireless conditions to- night, wo n''t it?
28449	Unless-- what?
28449	Was Lemly caught with her?
28449	We can run the extension mast up to full height in this light breeze, ca n''t we, Tom?
28449	We''re going to the bottom?
28449	Weather the gale, sir?
28449	Well, for Lemly, then?
28449	Well, what are we going to do?
28449	Wh-- what do you advise, Halstead?
28449	What ails you, Halstead?
28449	What ails your jaws, old fellow?
28449	What are we going to do when we overhaul both craft?
28449	What are you doing, Captain?
28449	What did you do with them?
28449	What distance, Halstead?
28449	What do the doctors say, Hank?
28449	What do you make of that, sir?
28449	What else have you done against us?
28449	What for?
28449	What happens to be wrong on board?
28449	What has Lemly been smuggling in the''Black Betty''all this time?
28449	What have you been doing for Dalton and Lemly?
28449	What kind of job?
28449	What liner do you figure on Dalton trying to overtake and board?
28449	What on earth can I do to pass the time of waiting?
28449	What order can I give,demanded the charter- man, with a piteous smile,"unless it be to say,''find the drab boat''?"
28449	What other orders did you have?
28449	What''s the order, sir?
28449	What''s the wireless for?
28449	What''s this? 28449 What''s wrong?"
28449	What-- the island?
28449	What?
28449	What?
28449	What?
28449	Where are you? 28449 Where d''ye want me to stand?"
28449	Where you- all goin''with so many guns?
28449	Where''s that red bag that started all the trouble?
28449	Where----?
28449	Where? 28449 Who are you?"
28449	Who are your owners?
28449	Who is Anson Dalton?
28449	Who is he, sir?
28449	Who signaled us? 28449 Why not?"
28449	Why, where will you young men be?
28449	Why?
28449	Will it be safe?
28449	Will we do it?
28449	Will we?
28449	Will you?
28449	Wo n''t you take a hint?
28449	Wonder if there''s anyone down there, asleep, or playing possum?
28449	Would he be likely to leave the bag around the hotel carelessly, if it contained anything so important?
28449	Yes, but what action?
28449	Yes; you have come for him, then?
28449	Yet it seems odd, does n''t it, to think of even freight boats carrying a wireless installation?
28449	Yet what can I do to him, if I do?
28449	Yet you know the exact location-- can go right to it?
28449	Yet you say the President of Brazil is an honorable man?
28449	Yet, what would n''t I do to get control of our own boat again? 28449 You also listened to Mr. Seaton and myself, the night we were going over to Lonely Island?"
28449	You can set me ashore, ca n''t you, young man, for a ten- dollar bill?
28449	You feel certain of that, Halstead?
28449	You feel certain that you can seat yourself and write out a set of papers that would tell a man down in Brazil just how to locate the diamond field?
28449	You feel wholly safe, now, do you, captain?
28449	You have a comfortable berth on your boat?
28449	You have a passenger, a Mr. Clodis, that you want to have me take off?
28449	You know that miserable twenty dollars that I took from Anson Dalton for passage money?
28449	You trust me now, fully? 28449 You''re going to pass close to that boat, are n''t you, Captain?"
28449	You?
28449	You?
28449	Your baggage ready, sir?
28449	Again?
28449	But is n''t it barely likely that he had already engaged Captain Dave Lemly to be hanging about in these waters with that little black schooner?"
28449	But what do you want to say?
28449	But why are you asking this?
28449	But would I have a right to seize Dalton and hold him-- even if able?"
28449	CHAPTER XXII TOM HALSTEAD SPRINGS THE CLIMAX"Can that fellow be here?"
28449	Clodis?"
28449	College boys''joke on me, or a floating mad- house?"
28449	Dalton?"
28449	Dalton?"
28449	Did you?
28449	Do n''t be too long, will you, fellows?"
28449	Do you get this?
28449	Do you want to cast off our line now?"
28449	Do you want to go in alongside?"
28449	Finely done, was n''t it?"
28449	For what purpose had Powell Seaton wanted them and the"Restless"?
28449	Had n''t you better get around to the rear?
28449	Had the boat- stealers gone ashore on the nameless island?
28449	Have you anything that you wish to say on this point, sir?"
28449	Have you been signaling long?
28449	Have you gotten wholly over your suspicions of early this afternoon?"
28449	He ca n''t go on that drab boat ahead, can he?"
28449	He gripped Tom by the arm, demanding hoarsely:"You brought Clodis ashore?
28449	He was met by Captain Hampton, who inquired:"Where''s your sailing master, young man?"
28449	Hepton, will you help me take this fellow aft?"
28449	How is he?
28449	I wonder what that big mystery really is?"
28449	If it envelops us, what can you do with regard to that drab- tinted sea- monster over yonder?"
28449	In calm weather they could have done this readily-- but now?
28449	In view of what happened the other night, and again this afternoon, is n''t it a whole lot more sensible to trace your misfortunes to Jasper?"
28449	Is the Drab going to get away from us?"
28449	It read: Can you send fast boat instantly to take off badly injured passenger for medical treatment?
28449	Joe, how are we going on speed?"
28449	May I ask why not, sir?"
28449	Mr. Seaton, had n''t you better inform Dr. Cosgrove that you''ll be absent for a while?"
28449	Nor was he too soon, for this query came promptly through space from Powell Seaton, up at Beaufort:"Are you starting at once?"
28449	Now, can you walk the deck as though your shoes were soled with loose cotton?"
28449	On Lonely Island?"
28449	Seaton?"
28449	Seaton?"
28449	Seaton?"
28449	Sell her?
28449	So what if Dalton goes aboard the freighter, and her captain sends us a derisive toot of his whistle?"
28449	Still, could n''t he send it by code?"
28449	THE RANGE AND GRANGE HUSTLERS By Frank Gee Patchin Have you any idea of the excitements, the glories of life on great ranches in the West?
28449	That''s where you''re bound, is n''t it?"
28449	Then he asked, gravely:"Any news?"
28449	Then what can the United States Government do about it?
28449	Then, comprehending, he grinned, though he demanded:"You think Dalton would have dared anything like that?"
28449	Was there to be any"again"?
28449	What are we going to do,"demanded Hank Butts,"if we find a gang aboard that we ca n''t whip or bluff?"
28449	What are you doing there, Jasper?"
28449	What does Seaton mean by hinting at ruin and tragedies?"
28449	What does this violence mean?"
28449	What if we cut into a lumber- laden schooner, and sank her at once?"
28449	What plan have you in your mind?"
28449	What would Dalton have felt like if I had run straight for this dock, refusing to put him aboard any other craft?"
28449	What''s on your mind?
28449	What''s this?"
28449	Where are they?
28449	Where do the shots come from?"
28449	Where for?"
28449	Where?"
28449	Who can best remain on deck for a few minutes more?"
28449	Why do n''t you go below, get writing materials, and start in earnest to get out the duplicate papers?"
28449	Why should he do that unless he means to try to prevent our catching up with Dalton?
28449	Wo n''t you come up on deck for a minute, anyway?"
28449	You remember the packet of papers I took from Clodis''s trunk?"
28449	You''re going to show him the politeness of telling the freighter''s captain what it was all about, ai n''t you?"
49030	A crank- pin loose, or some other trouble with the machinery, sir?
49030	A juvenile orphan asylum afloat, without the teachers? 49030 And another?"
49030	And does n''t it seem likely to you that it will, Mr. Baldwin, unless something happens to the''Victor''?
49030	And in the engine room?
49030	And it''s going to be a disaster?
49030	And that boat is trying to lose you in the fog, so that Mr. Absconder can get away?
49030	And the brother is accused of murder, and you could prove him innocent? 49030 And the money?"
49030	And this white curtain is thickening all the time, is n''t it?
49030	And we''re gaining? 49030 And you''re employed by Baldwin-- could anything be more favorable to our meeting again, eh?"
49030	Any further orders, sir?
49030	Any signals to arrange with us, Captain?
49030	Anything really worth seeing?
49030	Anything special about that station?
49030	Are Davis, Perkins, Prentiss and Randolph here ahead of us?
49030	Are you afraid it''s too big an undertaking for you?
49030	Are you certain, Giddings, that you have facilities for turning over the five millions to us at once?
49030	Are you going to be able to overtake her, Captain?
49030	Are you headed for any particular place, sir?
49030	Are you in the engine room, Joe Dawson?
49030	Are you uneasy over the remainder of your journey?
49030	Are your friends going to remain on board, without dinner?
49030	At the same time, of course, you''ll keep a general eye on the youngster?
49030	But how on earth did you two happen to come to my relief just at the right time?
49030	But the chase?
49030	But what craft can be off at starboard?
49030	But what gait does she make with her power alone?
49030	Can it be delayed for just a little while, sir?
49030	Can you climb?
49030	Captain Halstead, how much did you spend on my account, to- night?
49030	Captain Halstead?
49030	Captain, wo n''t you be good enough to have him brought on deck?
49030	Captain,called Mr. Baldwin, a few moments later,"can you put one of your party up there on the bridge?
49030	Captain,shouted Mr. Jephson,"will you go up close enough so that I can hail them?"
49030	Caught you, you sneak, did n''t I?
49030	D''ye know what''ll happen? 49030 Did he attack you?"
49030	Did n''t you come from the steam yacht''Victor''?
49030	Do n''t ye know him?
49030	Do n''t you own this yacht?
49030	Do n''t you want to recover the dory, to pay for my passage to land?
49030	Do these orders hold until changed, sir?
49030	Do you deny you''re the fellow I struck on the observation platform of a car of the Overland Mail the other day?
49030	Do you know the steam yacht''Victor''when you see her?
49030	Do you know where Yum Kee''s restaurant is?
49030	Do you mean to say that this boy would refuse to free Cragthorpe, if you commanded it?
49030	Do you think it is_ going_ to happen?
49030	Do you think the''Panther''will overtake us here, out on the high seas, Captain?
49030	Do?
49030	Does it look like a break- down?
49030	Even if Cragthorpe should know all about the enemy''s plans,demanded the owner,"how could I make him confess if he did n''t want to?"
49030	For what purpose?
49030	Gasoline?
49030	Going to finish your dinner, Tom, after hearing such news as that?
49030	Going to try to lose us, are they?
49030	Had n''t we better change craft? 49030 Hailing port?"
49030	Have n''t the other crowd changed their course a bit?
49030	Have you any orders, sir?
49030	Have you sighted the runaway craft?
49030	He''s locked in tightly?
49030	How are the engines, Joe?
49030	How did you come to be in that dory?
49030	How do you like it down there, on duty?
49030	How far away do you think the''Victor''is now?
49030	How in the world_ did_ he get on board?
49030	How long has this been coming on?
49030	How long has your uncle been captain of the''Victor''?
49030	How on earth did this happen, sir?
49030	How on earth did you find him so soon?
49030	How on earth do you come to be away out here at sea, in a small boat?
49030	How soon will Randolph be back?
49030	How?
49030	Hullo, what''s that racket?
49030	I can''t-- eh?
49030	I guess you know how highly I esteem your cashier, Rollings?
49030	I wonder if I''ll ever command a handsome craft like that?
49030	I wonder if Mr. Baldwin will be at Oakland, to meet us?
49030	I wonder if they''ve seen Mr. Baldwin, or heard from him?
49030	I wonder whether we''re going to have much time ashore, or whether it will be all spent on the water?
49030	I''m wondering, sir, why you had to send all the way east for officers for the''Panther''?
49030	If you''re afraid of this kind of a job, what did you come here for?
49030	Indeed? 49030 Is Dabson with you?"
49030	Is Giddings going to be in anything like his right mind when he wakes?
49030	Is it the first time you''ve ever hit up against salt water?
49030	Is it?
49030	Is it?
49030	Is that all?
49030	Is that near?
49030	Is the transportation at the door?
49030	Is the''Panther''going at absolutely her last quarter of a mile?
49030	Is the''Victor''burning coal as hard as ever?
49030	Is there any_ real_ danger of our tipping over, Captain?
49030	Is there anything you want to ask me, Captain?
49030	Is this man annoying you?
49030	Is this your young man?
49030	May I ask, sir, what you suspect?
49030	Mr. Baldwin has a telephone, of course?
49030	Mr. Baldwin,demanded Gaston Giddings,"why is this gentleman under such restraint?"
49030	Mr. Costigan, what do you know about the''Dolbear''?
49030	Nap?
49030	No power?
49030	No; and how do you?
49030	No; what do you want?
49030	Nothing happened in the night, eh? 49030 Now, then, what do you think of your new task?"
49030	Now, then, will you all be quiet?
49030	Now, what''s he up to?
49030	Now, whatcher going to do?
49030	Now, you guess why the steam craft has put about, do n''t you?
49030	Now,demanded the newcomer, pushing his chair back from the table,"what am I going to do aboard this craft to earn my way?"
49030	Oh, wo n''t I be careful, though?
49030	Oh, you are, are you?
49030	On your word of honor you did n''t come off the''Victor''?
49030	Only a question of minutes?
49030	Sailor, by trade?
49030	Say, are we going to wake up, chum?
49030	Say, do you know what''s down in the forehold, sir?
49030	Say, you''ll sure pay the ten, will ye?
49030	See here, man, what I want to ask is: Do you intend to torture me needlessly?
49030	Shall I drop the fellow?
49030	Shall I find you in that restaurant, sir?
49030	Shall I go in closer, sir?
49030	Shall I pass well to starboard of the sailing craft, sir?
49030	So our friends are all here ahead of us, and have everything ready?
49030	So that''s what our new gentleman has been doing, is it, sir?
49030	So, then, sir, you think Rollings has been, for some time, engaged in a deliberate plot to acquire an ascendancy over Mr. Giddings and ruin him?
49030	Taking Captain Halstead with us, do you mean?
49030	That is, will he recognize the''Victor''s''fog- whistle?
49030	That you, chief?
49030	That''s Doc Gaston, is n''t it?
49030	That''s right, is it?
49030	That''s the fellow I knocked from the train, is n''t it, Joe?
49030	That_ was_ actual piracy, was n''t it?
49030	The money there?
49030	The''Victor''?
49030	Then it''s all right, as far as Cragthorpe goes?
49030	Then opium and morphine are largely responsible for the crime and vice in the big city we have just left?
49030	Then what''s the sentence for coming on board from a dory?
49030	Then why is n''t the Chinese nation destroyed?
49030	Then your whole crew is on hand?
49030	Then, at four o''clock?
49030	Think you''ve sighted her?
49030	This deck does n''t look ship- shape, does it?
49030	Told you what?
49030	Tom Halstead? 49030 Want a guide to Chinatown?
49030	Want to smoke the opium pipe?
49030	Was it any of your affair?
49030	Weather is booming a bit, eh?
49030	Well, I got out, did n''t I?
49030	Well, Rollings, have you come to your senses? 49030 Well, what of it, you bo''sun''s mate of a lobster trap?"
49030	Well?
49030	Well?
49030	What about opium joints, for instance?
49030	What are Captain Halstead''s orders?
49030	What are we going to do?
49030	What call had you to defend her?
49030	What can that mean?
49030	What do you know best how to do?
49030	What do you mean?
49030	What do you say, Ross?
49030	What else? 49030 What happened to the''Dolbear''?"
49030	What has become of the other steward?
49030	What help do you want,''Alert''?
49030	What if we follow for days and days, yet, and then learn that neither Rollings nor his plunder is on board?
49030	What is it you want to know?
49030	What is this?
49030	What on earth is the trick, now?
49030	What speed, sir?
49030	What would you do with one, if you had it on board now?
49030	What would you say, Captain Halstead, if I demanded the release of the prisoner?
49030	What''ll you have, sir?
49030	What''ll you pay to find out?
49030	What''s all this business about the''Victor,''anyway?
49030	What''s her new course?
49030	What''s that?
49030	What''s that?
49030	What''s the joke?
49030	What''s the meaning of all this riot?
49030	What''s this? 49030 What''s your guess, Halstead, as to the meaning of those shots?"
49030	What''s your name?
49030	What?
49030	What?
49030	When, where and how will this all end?
49030	Where are you bound, Captain Halstead?
49030	Where are you going, Captain?
49030	Where does Doc Gaston go?
49030	Where''s the captain?
49030	Where''s the place?
49030	Where''s your captain?
49030	Where?
49030	Which side of the street is the Palace on?
49030	Who is he?
49030	Who on earth is that?
49030	Who''s in need of help?
49030	Why do you say that?
49030	Why is Mr. Cragthorpe ironed, on board this yacht?
49030	Why, my boy, about whom are you talking?
49030	Why,_ did_ anything happen?
49030	Why?
49030	Will you feel safer for escort?
49030	Will you please tell him that Captain Halstead and party are here?
49030	Will you, though?
49030	Would n''t a hoist of sail help us?
49030	Yet, this time, you feel that something disastrous is going to happen before this train rolls out on the mole at Oakland? 49030 You ca n''t find it?"
49030	You did n''t forget to feed the prisoner, Collins?
49030	You did?
49030	You said you are the chief engineer?
49030	You were n''t afraid on account of our being so-- well, youthful?
49030	You''ll call us, if anything whatever happens that''s worth our knowing, wo n''t you, Captain?
49030	You''re the captain?
49030	You''ve been running into a bit more excitement, have you?
49030	_ Gentleman?_demanded Baldwin, with withering scorn.
49030	And now, Captain, if you''ve no further orders for me, sir, had n''t I better be traveling back to the bridge?
49030	Are all your friends satisfied?"
49030	Are they drifting, so that, if we go ahead, we are drawing further away from them all the time?
49030	Are you going to take my offer, or not?"
49030	Are you going to tell us where the missing money is?"
49030	At what hour do you wish them all to return, sir?"
49030	Baldwin?"
49030	Baldwin?"
49030	Baldwin?"
49030	Baldwin?"
49030	But do you know any of the men who come here to Chinatown often to use the pipe?"
49030	But where was Cragthorpe himself?
49030	CHAPTER VI FACING THE YELLOW BARRIER"Maybe what you likee here?"
49030	CHAPTER X COMING TO CLOSE, DANGEROUS QUARTERS"Have any of you gentlemen ever had a good, long look at the''Victor''?"
49030	Ca n''t you tone down the horn?"
49030	Can you hear her machinery, now?"
49030	Costigan?"
49030	Costigan?"
49030	Costigan?"
49030	Costigan?"
49030	Costigan?"
49030	Costigan?"
49030	Davis?"
49030	Do I make myself clear?"
49030	Do n''t we need a little real brawn with us?"
49030	Do you desire to win any leniency by telling us, now, what you can?"
49030	Do you still hear the''Victor''s''machinery?"
49030	Do you want Mr. Costigan to go?"
49030	Does that call to the bridge?"
49030	Fellows, I think our Mr. Baldwin is stingy----""Stingy?"
49030	Gaston?
49030	Gentlemen of the Motor Boat Club, will you adjourn to the costly quarters that Ab and myself consider almost good enough for us?"
49030	Halstead looked back, presently, to inquire:"Mr. Prentiss, ca n''t you deaden the noise of our exhaust still more?"
49030	Hatchet men-- gun men-- say, young feller, dontcher know that these here hop- joints are protected by the highbinders?"
49030	Have they stopped speed altogether?
49030	How''s the glass?
49030	How''s the weather?"
49030	If they do, we''d better shoot back, eh, sir?"
49030	In other words, before we set foot in San Francisco?"
49030	Is it a crime to come on board from the''Victor''?"
49030	Jephson?"
49030	Just us two here-- fine, is n''t it?"
49030	Leaning forward over the bridge rail, Halstead called:"Mr. Perkins, what sort of weather do you think lies ahead of us?"
49030	Or is it good morning?
49030	Or, if we go ahead, what speed and which course shall we take?
49030	Perkins?"
49030	Sailor, ai n''t ye?"
49030	See that big cloud of black smoke coming up between the other craft''s masts?"
49030	Shall I stop the cab, sir?"
49030	Shall I turn and follow?"
49030	Shall we stop and drift?
49030	So that''s your name?"
49030	So you, so to speak, ran away to sea with your uncle?"
49030	That is, do very many take to it?"
49030	That''s good enough money for you, is n''t it?"
49030	The prisoner had a good appetite?"
49030	Then you''ve found the''Victor''?"
49030	Then, before it could be carried out, he cried, excitedly:"What has become of the''Victor,''sir?
49030	Then, remembering his first suspicions, he shot in, closely:"So your uncle is n''t captain of the''Victor''?"
49030	Then:"I wonder how my friend Cragthorpe is this morning?
49030	What had become of the other three human beings?
49030	What have those rascals done?
49030	What''s he doing?"
49030	What''s this going on?"
49030	Where is he?
49030	Where''s your captain?"
49030	Where''s your extra man of the watch?"
49030	Why could n''t I go to work in your engine room?"
49030	Why do n''t you and Mr. Ross slip in there, have some tea or something, and let me prowl about in these queer, crooked streets for a few minutes?
49030	Why not?
49030	Why?
49030	You follow me?"
49030	You have men with you to fill out those positions, have n''t you, Captain?"
49030	You understand that what I''m telling you, Captain, is absolutely confidential?"
41536	About how far do we chanst to be away, this minute?
41536	After all,said Jack, when he had actually succeeded in pushing the stranded_ Comfort_ a foot or so further in,"what does it matter?
41536	And have ye any objection to my makin''a thry, tell me that?
41536	And is it the clouds that do be paping up along beyant the shore line giving ye concern, Jack?
41536	And look at it splash, would you?
41536	And now, what nixt?
41536	And that would wind up his fishing for today, would n''t it?
41536	And what moight that be?
41536	And why?
41536	Are you all ready to pull?
41536	Are you saying that as a chum, or as the commodore of the fleet?
41536	Because, you know, George and me want to get a new engine installed the worst kind, do n''t we, George?
41536	But I hooked it, you all saw that?
41536	But Jack, we do n''t hear any more of the same sort?
41536	But Jack, what do you say,_ is_ an alligator a fish in the true sense of the word?
41536	But do we get up our mudhooks right now, Jack, and mosey out of this nook?
41536	But how about Jimmy; if he came back here, and found us gone, there would be a howl, believe me?
41536	But howld on, Jack, darlint, did n''t ye be afther sayin''anything that swum was a fish; and if I get a whale ai n''t it fair play?
41536	But listen,Nick continued, with conviction in his manner,"have n''t you heard it called a sea cow; and can a cow be a fish, Jack?"
41536	But not so far as to be beyond the sound of the yell we put up, eh?
41536	But see here, fellows, are we going to let our funny man try that stunt every little while?
41536	But we''ll know by the time we get to New Orleans, wo n''t we?
41536	But what about Nick; you do n''t seem to worry about how he''ll act?
41536	But what would make him give tongue that way?
41536	But what''s the use bothering, since we do n''t expect to eat the thing?
41536	But wo n''t you stay and have a bite with us?
41536	But you do n''t say any signs of blood, do ye, Jack darlint?
41536	But, we go on, do n''t we, Jack?
41536	By going aboard, you mean, do n''t you, Jack?
41536	Did n''t I say so?
41536	Do n''t you think you''d better cut loose, and let your hook go, Nick?
41536	Do we pull up soon, Jack?
41536	Do ye be thinking we can make it?
41536	Do you think I''m going to get him?
41536	Faith, what shall I be afther doing, then?
41536	For what are you askin''that same question?
41536	Get me out of this, wo n''t you, Jack? 41536 Good to eat?"
41536	Got an idea I''m apt to keel over any old minute, have you? 41536 Has anybody heard a shot?"
41536	He went and shot it with the rifle, do n''t you know? 41536 Hear the mullet jump?"
41536	Hey, what''s this mean?
41536	How about going back with us, Josh; feel equal to a little walk; or shall I come around after you in a small boat?
41536	How about that, Jack?
41536	How about that, Jimmy; are you ready to crown Nick as the king pin of the bunch when it comes to bagging big fish? 41536 How about that, fellows?"
41536	How far are we from camp now, Jack?
41536	How long ago was that?
41536	How long have we been in making this splendid run from Philadelphia?
41536	How long have we got before we ought to be home?
41536	How long will it take us, do you think?
41536	How under the sun did it happen that none of us saw it before?
41536	How''s that, then?
41536	I ai n''t denying it, am I?
41536	I say, Jack, do you know whether a porpoise is good to eat?
41536	I see you''re edging in more?
41536	I thought it was a shout of some kind; how about it, George?
41536	I wonder, now,remarked George,"if that bally little boat that''s a ringer for the_ Tramp_ has gone further south?"
41536	In what way, Jimmy?
41536	Jack, is it true that there are ten thousand of these mangrove islands?
41536	Jack, settle that, wo n''t you, before he goes and brings in every old varmint to be found in this region?
41536	Jimmy, what do you say?
41536	Just feel that line, would you? 41536 Just see how he pulls, would you, boys?"
41536	Keep still, Nick; sit down, ca n''t you? 41536 Let me have your glasses, wo n''t you, Jack?"
41536	Let up on that, now, will you? 41536 Listen to him, would you?"
41536	Look at him, would you?
41536	None of you noticed that either of those gentlemen came ashore after we left, did you?
41536	Now what did he take your rifle for, Jack, if he expects to go fishing?
41536	Now wo n''t I get the kinks out of my system, though? 41536 Now you''re thinking of that sudden little pain you had in the leg?"
41536	Now, how about it, Jimmy?
41536	Now, how about that roost; do you suppose we can find it from here?
41536	Now, what d''ye know about that?
41536	Now, what in the dickens does all that mean, Jack?
41536	Now, what under the sun can he be doing?
41536	Now, what''s the matter with a cow- whale?
41536	Perhaps waiting for us?
41536	Perhaps we''d better give one more halloo before we go?
41536	Saw what?
41536	Say ye so?
41536	Say, d''ye suppose, now, Nick''s gone and caught a turtle, one of those big loggerheads they were telling us about?
41536	Say, where you going, Jack?
41536	See here, what did you expect to find when you went on there?
41536	See here; you''ve got something on your mind; why not share it with us, Jack? 41536 So that''s the boat anchored away over yonder, is it?"
41536	So that''s why you wanted it, was it?
41536	Some of the men happened to be ashore, and saw him spying on the boat? 41536 Sure do ye ate some of the leads?"
41536	Tell me why?
41536	Tell us how you know that, Jack?
41536	That''s nice, to hear you say such fine things; but what we want to know is, what have you done with our chum?
41536	Then it was what you might call a coincidence?
41536	Then please show us?
41536	Then suppose you tell us, Nick?
41536	Then we go on tomorrow, do we?
41536	Then you do n''t want anybody to suck the poison out?
41536	They treated you white, Josh, did n''t they?
41536	Think that can be the place?
41536	Want to take a lunch off me porpoise, is it ye''d be afther doin'', ye sly ould thafe of the worrld?
41536	Was it anything about that bally old boat, the one that''s been dogging us all the way down from Jacksonville? 41536 Watch Jimmy, will you, boys?"
41536	We do n''t happen to know anybody by the name of Lenox, do we, boys?
41536	We''ve changed our course again, have n''t we, Jack?
41536	Well, is there any more important business known than supplying the human engine with plenty of fuel?
41536	Well, what''s that to anybody but me?
41536	Well, what''s that to us?
41536	Well, why not?
41536	What ails the bally thing?
41536	What ails you, Josh?
41536	What are we here for, anyway, but to eat our way through this dreary old world? 41536 What can the sly fellow be up to?"
41536	What can we be afther doing, I dunno, Jack darlint?
41536	What do be the matter with the gossoons?
41536	What do you think of it, Jack?
41536	What for? 41536 What for?"
41536	What happens to make''em scarce?
41536	What have you found?
41536	What in the dickens is it?
41536	What in the wide world are you speaking about?
41536	What is it?
41536	What is it?
41536	What is it?
41536	What kind of a fish is it, Jack?
41536	What makes you ask that?
41536	What sort of a sound was it, boys?
41536	What sort of competition, sir?
41536	What''s that?
41536	What''s that?
41536	What''s the hurry, boys?
41536	Whatever could have happened to the lad?
41536	Whatever makes you ask that?
41536	When I bother my head it''s going to be about something worth while-- understand?
41536	Where did you get him, Nick?
41536	Where do we strike next for mail?
41536	Who''s got as much interest in this business as me, tell me that? 41536 Why do n''t it back off, the same way it came on?
41536	Why not follow the beach around?
41536	Why so particular tonight; is it going to be any different from others?
41536	Why, whatever can you mean?
41536	Will it beat Jimmy''s porpoise?
41536	Would ye be afther getting a move on, Nick?
41536	Ye think that way?
41536	Yes, and if you find Josh, how will you let us know?
41536	Yes?
41536	You hear the verdict, Nick?
41536	You hear what your mate says, Jack?
41536	You would n''t play any trick on me, now, I hope, Jack, and get me to eat a fish that was n''t fit for the human stomach?
41536	A nice time you''d have here, all alone, would n''t you?
41536	Ai n''t I got just as much chance to bag something bigger before we haul up at New Orleans, tell me that, Josh Purdue?"
41536	All ready?
41536	And I guess I do n''t give up easy, do I?
41536	And ai n''t Nick having the ride of his life, though?
41536	And am I right in believing that you are Jack Stormways?"
41536	And by the way, where is Josh; I do n''t happen to set eyes on him around?"
41536	And can you tell me what I did with that mullet the cracker gentleman gave me, to use for bait?
41536	And he so fat and juicy, how do we know some hungry shark might n''t loike to take a bite out of him?
41536	Are you both willing to stand back of me, George, Jimmy?"
41536	But could he be believed?
41536	But if Josh had simply gone and lost himself, then why had he not answered their shouts?
41536	But see here, Jack, I hope you do n''t imagine some sort of trouble has dropped in on the two boys we left in camp less than an hour back?"
41536	But see here, Jack, after you get started, Nick can keep watch while I work at the engine, ca n''t he?"
41536	But then, why had not these two men done something to let his companions know what had befallen him?
41536	But what do you say, Jack, Herb, Josh and George?"
41536	But what ought we do now?"
41536	But, listen, was n''t that a shout ahead, there?"
41536	Can Nick enter any claim to having caught this prize?"
41536	Did n''t I tell you, Jack, there''s something mysterious about that boat?
41536	Did n''t you hear the angry shake of his old rattle- box when he struck?
41536	Did you ever see such a looney, trying to keep on shoving ahead, when all the while it gets in more shallow water?"
41536	Do I have to tell just how, Jack?"
41536	Do n''t I wish I had some buckshot shells up here?
41536	Do we get busy again, Nick, I say; or are ye satisfied to lit me claim first blood?"
41536	Do you want to know how?
41536	Expect her to reform all at once, and be as meek as Moses?
41536	For did they not grip weapons as well as Jack; and were they not just as anxious to effect the rescue of their missing chum?
41536	Got your tackle all right, have you; and sure that life preserver is in the boat?
41536	Have n''t I seen him watching those big tarpon jumping this very afternoon?
41536	Have n''t we got a shining example of the same in our great and noble President today?
41536	He could n''t get on this island, could he, Jack?"
41536	Herb, ca n''t you_ please_ get some of those bully old shells over to me somehow?
41536	Herb, would you mind staying, to keep Nick company?
41536	Here, quit shaking this tree, wo n''t you?
41536	How about it, Commodore?
41536	How about your friends, Jack?"
41536	How is that, Josh?"
41536	I do be laving it to Jack here, if that''s fair?"
41536	I do n''t call that fishing, now, do you?"
41536	I do n''t just like the way they act, Jack, do you?"
41536	I guess you''d better come back now, before you get in trouble; do n''t you?"
41536	If it do n''t take in those queer acting fellows on the power boat, what does ail you?"
41536	If it was n''t a snake bit me, what did, Jack?"
41536	If so, what should be the programme of the three who stood there in the water?
41536	If you hear her crackle, please cast off that hawser, will you?"
41536	Is that in line with what you think, Jack?"
41536	Is that right, fellows?"
41536	It ca n''t be more than a mile or so further in, d''ye think?"
41536	It''s a rare treat for my friend Carpenter here and myself to meet up with such fellows, eh, Bryce?"
41536	Jack, ca n''t you think of some way to make him leave me alone?"
41536	Jack, look out yonder; what in the dickens is that coming along, and sticking out of the water?"
41536	Jack, whatever can it mean?"
41536	Jack, would you mind stating what we decided the weight of my jewfish was?"
41536	Jimmy wiped the perspiration from his red face, as he exultantly cried out:"By the powers, can ye bate that, I''d loike to know, so I would?
41536	Just go back to your jewfish dinner, and all may be forgiven; but you let our crackers and cheese and bacon and hominy alone, hear that?
41536	Listen to him yap, would you?"
41536	Look at the gump wasting all that fine food, would you?
41536	Look at the water shooting up on either side of that dandy little boat, would you?
41536	Look now at the gossoon, would ye, and how he worrks?
41536	Maybe you''d expect an alligator to crawl in from the swamp, and try to make a meal off our chums?"
41536	Might it not all be a part of some clever trap?
41536	None of them could have any doubt about it; for was not the excited Jimmy making toward that same reef with all speed?
41536	Now, what was you saying to me?
41536	Now, where in the dickens is that other oar, George?
41536	Once you start in along that line, there''s just no limit to what you can do, I reckon, eh, Herb?"
41536	Ready, George?"
41536	Say, ai n''t we going to have that fish for supper, boys?"
41536	Say, three to one it''s about that power boat that is a ringer for the_ Tramp_?"
41536	Shall we get the laurel wreath, and put it on his brow?
41536	That do n''t mean I''m lacking in muscle, does it?
41536	Think you own the whole ranch?
41536	Want to upset that cranky thing, do you?
41536	Was that it?"
41536	What better do you want than that?"
41536	What say, fellows?"
41536	What use are they, anyhow?
41536	What''s a few pounds, more or less, among friends?
41536	Whatever could happen to either of them, tell me that?"
41536	Whatever is he doing now, do you suppose?"
41536	Who wants to nab you now?
41536	Why should it down here, when it do n''t even touch freezing?"
41536	Why, you remember that on our very first night out, the moon was just four days old?"
41536	Will you admit that you''re cleanly beaten at the game?"
41536	Wo n''t one of you get down and suck the poison out for me?
41536	Wo n''t we all be pleased as Punch when he does get a motor that can motor without eternally breaking down?
41536	Would they come out to investigate?
41536	You do n''t think of lending him a hand, I hope?
41536	You hear me speaking, do n''t you?
41536	You kept watching us, then, because you suspected we might be your rivals in the race?"
41536	You notice that now we never get far away from a sight of the big water, do n''t you?
41536	ai n''t the old terror mad, though?"
41536	ai n''t you the lucky thing, though?"
41536	are you going to chase the runaway with the_ Tramp_?"
41536	asked Jimmy;"and yet deny that a whale is a fish if ye dare?"
41536	come now, what put that silly notion in your head?"
41536	cried Jimmy, turning pale;"do ye mane to till me he''s gone and caught a_ whale_?"
41536	declared the other,"since you agreed to stand for half the expense, why should I have any kick coming?
41536	did n''t you hear the terrible buzz he gave when he stuck his fangs in me?"
41536	do you think, then, I''ll surely need it, Jack?"
41536	exclaimed Nick, bouncing up;"I wonder now does the silly believe an alligator would count against my fish?
41536	fellers; suppose somebody starts a fire agoing for me here; that''s allowable, ai n''t it, Jack?"
41536	he exclaimed, as George climbed aboard;"what brings you over here?"
41536	he exclaimed,"did you see that?"
41536	how d''ye know the bally old porpoise is goin''to stand for more than my jewfish?"
41536	how kind of you to tell me so, Jack; but how do you know?
41536	how''s this?"
41536	if I only had a harpoon now, would n''t it be just grand?
41536	if I owned that engine, George, do you know what I''d do with it?"
41536	if Jimmy ever gets a rope around that thing, and tries to ride it ashore, wo n''t he be in a peck of trouble, though?
41536	is that necessary?"
41536	look at him splash the water, Jack, would you?"
41536	look at it kick up the water, would you?
41536	looky there, will you, fellers?"
41536	remarked George;"and the net flings open as it whirls through the air, falling on the water that way?"
41536	that''s where the shoe pinches, does it?"
41536	what ails Josh, and where''d he get that nightcap he''s wearing?"
41536	what d''ye take me for?"
41536	what did you do that for, Jack?"
41536	what happened?"
41536	what is that?"
41536	what''s that you say?"
41536	whativer will Nick do about his rations, if the cook of the bunch be lost, strayed or stolen?"
41536	wherever are you?"
41536	why, the fish is pulling his boat around, do you notice?"
41536	you do n''t suppose for a minute anybody in the wide world could ever count these mud flats, covered with the everlasting mangrove, do you?"
41536	you do n''t think, now, that anybody would be so mean as to try and crib our bully boats?"
41536	you''ve got a knife, have n''t you?"
38450	A map of what?
38450	About what?
38450	Ai n''t it the cute little child?
38450	And about a scrap in Quebec?
38450	And eggs, and ham, and beans, and coffee, and fried potatoes, and canned peaches?
38450	And if you ca n''t get it?
38450	And now,Case asked, with a scornful smile on his lips,"what do you expect me to do under the circumstances?
38450	And so Max has shown up again, has he?
38450	And so there really is a lost channel?
38450	And so you come here and tell me a fairy tale about my chums?
38450	And so you let him get away, did you?
38450	And the six people were the sole occupants of the boat, were they?
38450	And the story of the lost channel?
38450	And then you came directly to the_ Rambler_ to tell me of the incident?
38450	And we''ll come back down the rapids, wo n''t we?
38450	And what are you going to do with us?
38450	And what did you say his name was?
38450	And what''s the matter with putting Captain Joe on shore?
38450	And you found it, did you?
38450	And you never said a word about it,asked the captain,"to any of the boys?
38450	And you remember what Clay said about having discovered the boat as we came in? 38450 And you will lose your farm if this charter is found and sustained?"
38450	Are these all the poppers you have, kid?
38450	Are you coming on board?
38450	Are you going to give me that canoe? 38450 Are you going to send it over?"
38450	Are you looking for her?
38450	Been?
38450	Blonde or black?
38450	But what are we going to do with this boy?
38450	But why should men like those be following us?
38450	Can you take the boat up and back without knocking off any of these headlands?
38450	Captain Joe is n''t here, eh?
38450	Captain Joe,the boy asked,"what would have taken place if we had run out of gasoline while navigating the rapids?"
38450	Conclusive? 38450 Did I sail on the St. Lawrence river?
38450	Did I see what?
38450	Did I?
38450	Did he say where Clay was?
38450	Did n''t I tell you I knew the whole St. Lawrence river south, north, and bottom?
38450	Did n''t I truss him up like a hen in the cabin and threaten to arrest him, and did n''t he declare that he would shoot me if he ever got a chance? 38450 Did they say anything about that scrap we had on an island below Quebec?"
38450	Did you come by parcel post? 38450 Did you dive in east of the peninsula and swim under water to Quebec?"
38450	Did you ever see that figure before?
38450	Did you have a pleasant trip up the river?
38450	Did you hear any shooting? 38450 Did you say the dog ate a couple of wharf rats back there?"
38450	Did you see a light on the point below St. Luce not long ago?
38450	Did you see that?
38450	Did you see that?
38450	Do n''t you know that you might have been the cause of our death? 38450 Do n''t you remember when some sneak stole all the money we had been saving for a year to take us on the Amazon trip?
38450	Do n''t you see him down there at the head of the pier?
38450	Do they want the boys to come out of the forest and find the_ Rambler_ gone? 38450 Do to me?"
38450	Do you happen to have a sore head this morning?
38450	Do you know the men who were in it?
38450	Do you mean that we ought to go back to the_ Rambler_ right now and cut Montreal off our visiting list?
38450	Do you mean that you intend to keep me prisoner?
38450	Do you mean that you were watching for the_ Rambler_?
38450	Do you mean to tell me that the wreckers are now on the island?
38450	Do you really think there''s a lost channel there?
38450	Do you remember what the chief of police said about Fontenelle''s boat and a lot of perfectly good provisions lying on the bottom of the river?
38450	Do you remember what you told me about this Lawyer Martin?
38450	Do you suppose they knew what it was?
38450	Do you think the story about the lost channel had anything to do with his sudden departure?
38450	Do you think this is a passenger boat?
38450	Do you think we would better go back after the rowboat?
38450	Do you think, Captain Joe,he said to the dog,"that you could go and get a wharf rat this morning?
38450	Do you want to take on passengers?
38450	Does that hooting warn you of danger, too?
38450	Fifteen feet with or without the tide?
38450	Friends of yours?
38450	Go and get him?
38450	Got a fish, Alex?
38450	Got anything on board?
38450	Has n''t even a map?
38450	Have you got a letter for us?
38450	Have you got any weapons about your person? 38450 Have you heard any more owl talk?"
38450	Have you seen any of the boys to- day?
38450	Have you seen him since Alex and Case left?
38450	He has very black eyes, has n''t he? 38450 He''ll be saying,''Where am I?''
38450	Here, where are you boys going?
38450	How are we going to get down there if you lock us up?
38450	How did he come to speak to you of the boys at all?
38450	How did it ever become lost?
38450	How do you cook fish a la Indian?
38450	How do you feel this morning, my boy?
38450	How do you know I ca n''t get away?
38450	How do you know all this?
38450	How do you know?
38450	How long have you been waiting here for the_ Rambler_ to come back down the river?
38450	How''d you get up the river so quickly?
38450	I wonder if the tide does n''t come up here?
38450	If I gave you the privilege,asked the other,"will you promise to make no attempt to escape?"
38450	Interested?
38450	Is he in any way interested in the Fontenelle charter?
38450	Is n''t it possible,asked Clay,"that the boy lives along the river front for some well defined, perhaps criminal, purpose of his own?"
38450	Is n''t the dog out on deck?
38450	Is that that bear of yours, again?
38450	Is that the_ Rambler_?
38450	Is that your dog?
38450	Is the cook tied up yet?
38450	Is the_ Rambler_ down on the river now?
38450	Is this what you call a pinch?
38450	Is this your street?
38450	It ca n''t be possible that that little scamp has gone and lost himself again, can it?
38450	Keep back, you fool,the cooler man said,"Do you want him to bring all the others here with his yelping?
38450	Let''s see,he added,"what was it you were going to find when I left you?
38450	Look there,he whispered,"What do you know about that?"
38450	Make it?
38450	News of my friends?
38450	Now you hear it, do n''t you?
38450	Now, how do you think that little customer got out to the launch without getting perforated?
38450	Now, look here,Alex cut in,"I''m ready to get out of this section, but do you mind what the first letter said about going north?
38450	Now, what are we going to do?
38450	Now, what do you think he wanted here, anyway?
38450	Now, what do you think of that?
38450	Now, what do you think that little monkey is after?
38450	Now,said Captain Joe mildly,"do n''t you think a porterhouse steak weighing nine pounds and a half would be enough for our breakfast?"
38450	Now,said Clay, turning to Jule,"what do you think about having lost the scent of the lost channel?"
38450	Of course,Clay said,"you are familiar with the Fontenelle land claim and the story of the lost charter and the missing family jewels?"
38450	Oh, you want to find a channel, do you?
38450	Opposed everywhere in your searches?
38450	Ordered to disable our motors and cut our cable?
38450	Say, Mr. Cop, you''ve seen terriers go after a rat in a pit, have n''t you?
38450	Say, boys,he said,"do you know those two men just behind you?"
38450	Say, kid,Jule said, pointing to Alex,"do you think you can swim over to the shore?"
38450	Searching in this wild country?
38450	Shall we go across now?
38450	Shall we make a break and get out right now?
38450	Shall we shoot to kill?
38450	Shall we turn on the light, or shall we begin shooting right now?
38450	Shooting?
38450	So the boat held three men and three boys? 38450 So you admit that you''ve got it?"
38450	Then what is all that noise?
38450	Then why did n''t he do it?
38450	Then why do n''t the men who drew the map go and tell Fontenelle all about it?
38450	Was it a man with whom you are acquainted?
38450	Was it my friends who were doing the shooting?
38450	Was it one of your employers?
38450	We ca n''t live on the sand which is here-- that''s a pun, eh?
38450	We came out for adventure, did n''t we?
38450	We''ve had a stranger with us on every trip, so why not take him along?
38450	Well, have n''t they got to show up before we can do anything to them?
38450	Well, what do you think about this advice given by the chief?
38450	Well,said Captain Joe almost smacking his lips,"you know the kind of pancakes they serve at the Bismark, Chicago?
38450	Well,the boy went on,"why are you bothering us about it?
38450	What about it?
38450	What about it?
38450	What about the four- oared boat that left St. Luce not long ago?
38450	What about you?
38450	What are you doing here?
38450	What did it feel like?
38450	What did the chief of police say about Max?
38450	What did they do to you?
38450	What did you find out about him?
38450	What do I see?
38450	What do you know about that?
38450	What do you know about the lost channel?
38450	What do you mean by anything?
38450	What do you mean by that?
38450	What do you mean by that?
38450	What do you see, Captain Joe?
38450	What do you see?
38450	What do you take this for, a floating saloon?
38450	What do you think about this lost channel proposition?
38450	What do you think he wants of the launch?
38450	What do you want for breakfast?
38450	What do you want me to swim over for?
38450	What do you want, old man?
38450	What do you want?
38450	What have we got for dinner?
38450	What have you boys got to say for yourselves?
38450	What is the question?
38450	What new deviltry are those fellows planning?
38450	What shall we do with it?
38450	What shall we do?
38450	What the dickens do you think the Fontenelles left this paper laying around in a place like this for?
38450	What was it some one said about a small world?
38450	What was it you said about a map?
38450	What was it you said about some underground stream?
38450	What was it you said about wreckers?
38450	What was that you said about swimming over to the shore?
38450	What was there in that job for you, anyway?
38450	What will we get for shooting out the lights?
38450	What would these fellows on shore be doing all the time you were reaching the cavern?
38450	What would you like, Captain?
38450	What''s coming off here?
38450	What''s coming off now?
38450	What''s coming off?
38450	What''s that you''re muttering about?
38450	What''s the idea, Captain Joe?
38450	Where did the map come from?
38450	Where did you get it?
38450	Where did you say Clay was?
38450	Where do they think this blooming charter is, I''d like to know?
38450	Where do we go to reach this peninsula? 38450 Where have you been?"
38450	Where is the other boy?
38450	Where''s the kid, Ben?
38450	Where''s your boat, kid?
38450	Where''s your boat?
38450	Which two men?
38450	Who did that shooting back there?
38450	Who was it that said that a face once seen was sure to cross our paths in future years? 38450 Who was it that told you of the capture of my chums?"
38450	Who''s going to stand watch?
38450	Why ca n''t you send one over?
38450	Why did n''t you say so before?
38450	Why did n''t you shoot him?
38450	Why did the men who ordered you to do the work want it done?
38450	Why did you cut our cable?
38450	Why did you do that? 38450 Why do n''t they go up and help the others?"
38450	Why do n''t you get another map?
38450	Why do n''t you give the boy some of the chuck?
38450	Why do n''t you give up the map turned over to you by mistake, and go on about your business? 38450 Why do n''t you go back to bed?
38450	Why do n''t you let him out?
38450	Why do you ask an old captain a foolish question like that?
38450	Why do your employers want me to leave my present location?
38450	Will you promise to remain on the boat without attempting to escape if I leave you your liberty?
38450	Will you send us a case?
38450	Will you tell me,continued Case,"who it was that ordered you to cut our cable and disable our motors?"
38450	Would he secure a large amount of property if he found it?
38450	Would the menagerie run away and leave the boys in captivity?
38450	You and many of your neighbors?
38450	You came down here to find that lost channel, did n''t you?
38450	You do n''t expect me to believe a word you say, do you?
38450	You do n''t expect to find a lost channel, do you? 38450 You found it, did you?"
38450	You had a little swim for it, did n''t you?
38450	You have no faith in the story of the lost charter and the missing family jewels?
38450	You never came all the way up here to visit us?
38450	You never let him get away from you, did you?
38450	You outrun him, did you, lads?
38450	You sailed on the St. Lawrence once a good many years ago, did n''t you, Captain Joe?
38450	You think you''ve got the police on your side, do n''t you? 38450 You went into a whirlpool above the falls and came out into a cavern?"
38450	You''d like to have me come down there, would n''t you?
38450	You''ve been arrested, have you?
38450	You''ve got it,Alex cried,"but how did you come to know so much about us?
38450	You''ve got so you can smell the lost channel now, have you?
38450	A lost channel or something like that?
38450	And how are you all, and where is Alex and my namesake?"
38450	And what did he have that kind of a rig on for?
38450	And where is the two- foot fish you were going to bring for breakfast?
38450	And why should they send it, if at all, in so mysterious a manner?"
38450	Anyone else?"
38450	Are you alone on board?"
38450	Are you boys from the_ Rambler_?
38450	Are you sure that no boat passed down after Alex left?"
38450	CHAPTER II A TREACHEROUS GUEST"Do you suppose that is the fellow Captain Joe caught prowling around the stem of the boat?"
38450	CHAPTER XIV AN OLD FRIEND APPEARS"How did this channel get lost?"
38450	CHAPTER XVIII IT IS NOW CLAY''S TURN"Do you think we can raise her?"
38450	Ca n''t we pull the launch up?"
38450	Can you describe the men you saw following us?
38450	Can you see any possible connection between the two?"
38450	Can you send us a line?"
38450	Captain Joe now leaned over the gunwale of the_ Rambler_ and cried out:"Which one of you boys fell overboard?"
38450	Case asked,"or opposed only when you come to this section?"
38450	Did it ever occur to you that they know about our having that mysterious map?"
38450	Did n''t you notice my cap walking straight up into the air?
38450	Did you catch on?"
38450	Did you ever notice the bulldog when he gets into a scrap?"
38450	Did you see anything remarkable when you were there, Alex?"
38450	Do you remember the stories the newspapers used to print about the water in the Chicago river, before the drainage canal was put through?
38450	Do you suppose he knows where Alex is?"
38450	Do you suppose she''s busted up much, Clay?"
38450	Do you think Captain Joe will know me?"
38450	Do you understand?
38450	He thought fast for a moment and then asked abruptly:"Will you tell me what your interest is in this matter?"
38450	He''ll have to say,''Where am I?''
38450	How does that strike you, fellows?
38450	If so, do you think it''s true?"
38450	If so, where is the boat?"
38450	Is everything you have told me to- day just as true as the fairy tales you told us that night?
38450	Is n''t that deduction worthy of Sherlock Holmes?"
38450	Is that right?"
38450	Is that so?"
38450	Is that true?"
38450	Is that what you were sent here for?"
38450	Luce?"
38450	Martin?"
38450	Now what do you make of it?"
38450	Now, the question is, shall we take the_ Rambler_ up?"
38450	Now, what are we going to do about it?"
38450	Now, where do you suppose those two scamps are?
38450	Officer,"Alex said,"why do n''t you grab a couple of those boys?
38450	Or a casket of family jewels?"
38450	Ought we to give Fontenelle the map?"
38450	Perhaps you will tell me where you stole this fine boat?"
38450	Pretty good fiction, eh?"
38450	See how steadily the current runs?
38450	See?"
38450	Shall we go and get him?"
38450	That would be a channel, would n''t it?
38450	That''s what they call that peninsula, is n''t it?
38450	The boy started in the direction of the sound, but paused when he heard one of the men saying:"Where are the others?"
38450	Then Clay laughed and nudged his companions and said:"Captain Joe, did you ever hear anybody say that this is a mighty small world?
38450	What about you?"
38450	What are you doing at Ogdensburg?"
38450	What did you get pinched for, and how did you get away?"
38450	What do they look like?"
38450	What do you say to that?"
38450	What do you say to that?"
38450	What do you think of that for a program, boys?"
38450	What do you think?"
38450	What does it matter if the timber does float down without us?
38450	What is Clay doing?"
38450	What was it I was saying about this being a pretty small world?"
38450	What would you advise, old chap?"
38450	What would you advise?"
38450	What''s been going on?"
38450	Where the dickens did you come from?
38450	Which way did it come from?"
38450	Who''ll go?"
38450	Why did n''t you add to your story and say that the dog and the bear were with the three boys?"
38450	Why do n''t you come on down the river with me?"
38450	Why do n''t you go and get him to make another?"
38450	Why not keep the map and go on with the search?"
38450	Why?"
38450	Will you be good?"
38450	Wo n''t that be a fine old trip?"
38450	You did n''t find it, did you?"
38450	You kept it all to yourself?"
38450	questioned the man in charge of the wagon,"are you going in with us, off your beat, and are you going to arrest the dog?
4987	A ghost?
4987	Afraid?
4987	Am I hurt? 4987 Amy, want to steer?"
4987	And have you a boathook? 4987 And see the-- what are we supposed to call these?"
4987	And sleep aboard?
4987	And so you expect to make Rainbow Lake by six bells?
4987	And stand watches-- and all that sort of thing, the way your uncle told of it being done aboard ships?
4987	And the dining room-- may I call it that?
4987	And the papers?
4987	And was n''t it nice of Will, Frank, and Allen to come?
4987	And you are really going to camp on Elm Island?
4987	And you have never let on that Grace was the girl on the horse?
4987	And you think you girls will go for a cruise?
4987	Angry? 4987 Any candy left, Grace?"
4987	Any for me?
4987	Any luck?
4987	Any news about the papers, Grace?
4987	Any news?
4987	Any particular island?
4987	Anything doing, old man?
4987	Anything-- what do you mean?
4987	Are n''t we ever going to do any night cruising?
4987	Are you all ready?
4987	Are you girls all right?
4987	Are you looking for us?
4987	Are you sure, Grace?
4987	Are you sure, Grace?
4987	As for shoes----"Who took my candy?
4987	Besides, it''s important; is n''t it?
4987	But can we lift out the heavy stones?
4987	But dare you do it, Miss Nelson?
4987	But how are you going to do it?
4987	But how can we get it up?
4987	But how?
4987	But if any one tries to get them away from us, we-- we''ll just-- run away; wo n''t we, Prince?
4987	But if there is time, and we can do it, we might decorate?
4987	But the ghost-- the one Mr. Lagg told about?
4987	But the rattling chains?
4987	But the surprise?
4987	But was n''t it oddly shaped, Betty?
4987	But what are you going to anchor it with?
4987	But what is it?
4987	But what is this story?
4987	But what makes the boat go?
4987	Ca n''t they see we''re not under control? 4987 Ca n''t you turn on a little more gasoline?"
4987	Can we get back in time?
4987	Can you do it, Betty?
4987	Can you imagine what it may be?
4987	Charts?
4987	Could I see her?
4987	Could n''t he swim?
4987	Could n''t you ship us before the mast?
4987	Did I splash much?
4987	Did I, Amy?
4987	Did we really?
4987	Did you find it?
4987	Did you strike bottom?
4987	Do n''t need any charts? 4987 Do n''t you know what you''re doing?"
4987	Do n''t you recall, you held it in one hand behind your back and told Billy to choose?
4987	Do n''t you remember? 4987 Do you have to do subtraction and addition every time the clock strikes?"
4987	Do you like this, Bet?
4987	Do you motor?
4987	Do you really think, Will, that some one has Prince and the papers?
4987	Do you?
4987	Dodo?
4987	Does the ghost keep you awake?
4987	Dot any more tandy?
4987	Dot any tandy?
4987	Dot any tandy?
4987	Elm is a nice one,remarked Will"Why do n''t you girls try that?
4987	For what?
4987	Girls, have you any idea what it was?
4987	Girls, you are hereby invited to accompany me on a cruise to go-- Oh, where can we go?
4987	Got any chocolates that need eating?
4987	Has he dot any tandy?
4987	Haunted?
4987	Have we time?
4987	Have you enough gasoline?
4987	Have you got a pump aboard?
4987	Have you seen the ghost?
4987	How about Percy Falconer?
4987	How about chewing gum?
4987	How can you carry them?
4987	How is she-- much hurt?
4987	How is that?
4987	How-- how is little Dodo?
4987	How?
4987	How?
4987	How?
4987	I mean told''em who you are?
4987	I mean, did they seem to follow you-- as if they had knowledge that the papers would be transferred to- day, and were determined to get them?
4987	I suppose your brother told you these papers were rather valuable; did he not?
4987	I wonder if I''ll be disappointed in expecting a ride in Betty''s boat?
4987	I wonder if they are any worse than girls, grandma?
4987	I wonder when we will get our prize?
4987	I''ll ask Will, of course, and Frank Haley, but----"Not Allen?
4987	If we are thinking of camping on Elm Island, we do not want to be annoyed by some one playing pranks; do we, girls?
4987	If you find her we''ll give you that money; wo n''t we?
4987	Is father much worried about the missing papers?
4987	Is he reliable?
4987	Is it a good place?
4987	Is it a riddle?
4987	Is it from that queer Mr. Blackford, whose five hundred dollar bill we found when we were on our walking trip?
4987	Is it-- is it gone?
4987	Is she much hurt?
4987	Is the ghost going to keep us away?
4987	Is there anything else you''d like?
4987	Is this as fast as you can go?
4987	It''s no use, Amy, for Grace finished the last of them long before Betty blew in on us-- or should I say drifted? 4987 It''s up in front; is n''t it, Uncle Amos?"
4987	Just what is it?
4987	Little brother, are you in there?
4987	Never mind, did you bring the talcum?
4987	No soda?
4987	No sooner do we arrive than we are plunged into the midst of-- er-- the midst of-- what is it I want to say?
4987	No; why?
4987	Now, what do you say to a little run down the river? 4987 Of course,"assented Betty,"Wo n''t you stay with us to- night, Uncle Amos?"
4987	Of--?
4987	Oh, is Mollie coming here?
4987	Oh, is n''t it nice?
4987	Oh, would you?
4987	Old, grandma? 4987 One thing, though, we''re not going to let it drive us away, are we-- not away from our camp?"
4987	Ready?
4987	Really, Mr. Lagg, is there-- er-- anything really there?
4987	Say, Mr. Lagg,asked Will, lingering a bit behind the others,"just how much is there in this ghost story, anyhow?"
4987	Say, Sis, will you go if I let you ride Prince?
4987	Say, is it Christmas, or Fourth of July?
4987	Say, you have n''t seen a big green canoe, with an Indian''s head painted in red on each end; have you?
4987	Seen anything more of the ghost?
4987	Shall I cast off?
4987	Shall I stay, mother?
4987	Shall we holystone the decks, or scrub the lee scuppers? 4987 Shall we start off again?"
4987	Shall we try it, girl?
4987	So these are your consorts; eh, Bet? 4987 Surely,"said Grace, and Mollie took the chance to whisper to her:"Why do n''t you start some questions?"
4987	That''s what I am, lass, and I struck the right harbor first thing; did n''t I? 4987 The Gem goes in, and her captain''s name--?"
4987	The ghost?
4987	The question is, shall we go on a cruise?
4987	Then we are going to meet him?
4987	Then we''re going to sleep aboard?
4987	Then why not enter?
4987	Then you''ll enter?
4987	Then you''ll get those papers from grandmother for me, and take them to dad?
4987	They never found out who those mean autoists were, did they?
4987	They walked-- I think it was two hundred miles, just before coming on this cruise; did n''t you, Betty?
4987	This fine and beautiful sunny day, what will you have-- oats or hay?
4987	To sail and sail the bounding main, And then come back to port again? 4987 To scare away sharks?"
4987	Trouble?
4987	Unexpectedly?
4987	Want a drink, lady?
4987	Was it only a letter?
4987	Was that the grand surprise?
4987	We can use the boat, too; ca n''t we?
4987	Well, how are we coming on?
4987	Well, what do you think of that?
4987	What are all you folks doing around here?
4987	What are they?
4987	What are we going to do?
4987	What book?
4987	What did it turn out to be?
4987	What did you want to start off for, in the middle of the night?
4987	What do you mean?
4987	What happened?
4987	What if it''s an airship?
4987	What is it now?
4987	What is it?
4987	What is it?
4987	What is it?
4987	What is the matter?
4987	What is your news, Grace?
4987	What time is it at two o''clock?
4987	What were they?
4987	What will happen if we ca n''t find the papers?
4987	What will it be to- day?
4987	What will it be? 4987 What will we do to- morrow?"
4987	What will you please to buy to- day? 4987 What''s that?"
4987	What''s the matter with you fellows?
4987	What-- the ghost?
4987	What-- what kind?
4987	What?
4987	What?
4987	What?
4987	When do they take place?
4987	When will they get here?
4987	When?
4987	Where are you going, pray tell?
4987	Where are you going?
4987	Where can he be going?
4987	Where is that book?
4987	Where is that?
4987	Where''s your charts?
4987	Which is port-- right or left? 4987 Which way shall I steer to pass that boat, Uncle?"
4987	Who said anything about him?
4987	Who said breakfast?
4987	Why do n''t they change their course?
4987	Why do n''t they stop?
4987	Why do n''t you start the motor?
4987	Why is he here-- in the house-- is some one else ill?
4987	Why not say it?
4987	Why not?
4987	Will we wear our sailor costumes all the while?
4987	Will you ever forget the awful shower that kept us in the deserted house all night?
4987	Will you tell him about the-- ghost?
4987	Wise? 4987 Wo n''t you have some of our sandwiches?"
4987	Would n''t Will just love this?
4987	Yes, Nellie, what is it?
4987	Yes, how are you sailing? 4987 You mean-- take some action to get the property?"
4987	You say the doctor was here to see me?
4987	You see we have let our supplies run low,remarked Betty as she gave her order,"Are you going on a long cruise?"
4987	Your new horse?
4987	And are you sure you do n''t feel resentful toward me?"
4987	And, now what can I do for you?
4987	Are we going to stay around here, where I can get word quickly?"
4987	Are you going by dead reckoning?"
4987	Are you much hurt?"
4987	But it was an accident, pure and simple; was n''t it, Bob?"
4987	CHAPTER II AFTER THE PAPERS"Hello, is this you, Will?"
4987	CHAPTER IV THE MISSING DOCUMENTS"How do you feel now?
4987	CHAPTER VII STOWAWAYS"Then he is n''t your horse, Will?"
4987	CHAPTER VIII A HINT OF GHOSTS"Who can they be?"
4987	CHAPTER X ADRIFT"Well, Captain Betty, what are your orders?"
4987	CHAPTER XI IN DANGER"What is it?
4987	CHAPTER XIX A QUEER DISTURBANCE"Have we blankets enough?"
4987	CHAPTER XVI FIGHTING FIRE"Betty, do you think we can win?"
4987	CHAPTER XVII ON ELM ISLAND"Have you a long rope aboard, Miss Nelson?"
4987	CHAPTER XXII WHAT MOLLIE FOUND"Did you get-- it?"
4987	CHAPTER XXIII SETTING A TRAP"Are you sure it is the canoe?"
4987	CHAPTER XXIV THE GHOST CAUGHT"When do you expect to hear about little Dodo?"
4987	CHAPTER XXV THE MISSING SADDLE"Have you caught Prince?"
4987	Can you find your way back to the dock?"
4987	Did you ever hear of a girl on a white horse being seriously hurt?"
4987	Do you girls mind if I sit up and read a little?
4987	Do you remember us, Miss Nelson?"
4987	Do you think you can drink a little of this?"
4987	Girls, do you hear?
4987	Has dad said anything lately?"
4987	Have you heaved the lead to see how much water you''ve got?"
4987	Have you marked the course since last night and posted it?
4987	Have you put them wise yet?"
4987	He----""Did he''fess up''about the chocolates?"
4987	How do you expect to make Rainbow Lake without some kind of charts?
4987	How have you been?"
4987	How is Mollie standing it, Grace?"
4987	How is little Dodo coming on?"
4987	How would this do?
4987	I saw one run away once, with a young lady, and----""Do you mean that time we were speeding up to get out of the storm?"
4987	I wonder did we get any pickles?"
4987	I wonder if any campers here keep a white cow?"
4987	I wonder if there is n''t some way I could make sure?"
4987	I wonder what we shall do then?"
4987	I wonder where he could have run to?"
4987	I''d give anything to hear her say now''Has oo dot any tandy?''"
4987	Is everyone well?"
4987	Is n''t it strange that we should meet the two autoists?"
4987	Is your boat entered yet?"
4987	It----""But what is the surprise itself?"
4987	Just a bump on the head; eh?"
4987	Lagg?"
4987	Lagg?."
4987	Now, is everything arranged for?"
4987	Now, what did I do with that letter?"
4987	Oh, what can have become of him?
4987	Oh, what has happened?"
4987	Oh, what shall I do?"
4987	Oh, will they ever forgive me?"
4987	Oo dot any tandy?"
4987	Paul looked up at the familiar face and asked:"Oo dot any tandy?"
4987	Prince has not come home?
4987	Prince, old boy, you knew me; did n''t you?"
4987	Salt water and a tide would make any place, even a desert-- er-- er-- what is it I want to say, Bet?"
4987	Say, Will, how is poor little Dodo getting on?"
4987	So that''s the ghost; eh?
4987	Suddenly Mr. Kennedy, who was sitting well forward on the trunk cabin with Grace, sprang to his feet, exclaiming:"What''s that?"
4987	The boat will be safe; wo n''t it, Betty?"
4987	The girls are here, and-- Never mind about the chocolates?
4987	Then, having finished that, he fixed his big eyes on Mr. Lagg, and demanded:"Oo dot any tandy?"
4987	Was n''t it unfortunate?"
4987	Was this a subterfuge-- a means to an acquaintance?
4987	Well, how are you?"
4987	Well, shall we start?"
4987	What are you going to do, Amy?"
4987	What can I do?
4987	What could it have been?"
4987	What did you do with my chocolates?
4987	What do you mean?
4987	What happened?
4987	What horse power have you?"
4987	What is Mr. Lagg''s special line of jollity?"
4987	What kind of a voyage did you have?"
4987	What sort of a place is it without a tide?
4987	What will it be to- day?
4987	What will it be?
4987	What would be the fun of having bunks if we did n''t use them?
4987	What''s that-- Dodo-- tell Mollie Dodo is over the operation and is going to get well?
4987	What''s that-- you have a stray white horse?
4987	What''s that?
4987	What?
4987	Where are your charts-- your maps?
4987	Where did you get it?"
4987	Where is he?"
4987	Where is it?"
4987	Where is that list, Mollie?"
4987	Who could help it?
4987	Who has the olives?"
4987	Who was it?"
4987	Why not Dodo come wif us?"
4987	Will I do your errand for you?
4987	Will you be angry if I run away for a little while?
4987	Will you come, Grace?"
4987	Will you do it for me, Sis?
4987	With four girls?
4987	With the ghost?"
4987	Wo n''t you come on a trip with us?
4987	Would it hold?
4987	You can have chafing dish parties-- is that what you call them?
4987	You do n''t mind; do you, Aunt Kate?"
4987	You do n''t suppose, do you Grace, that those men could have had any object in getting those papers away from you?"
4987	You girls tied the boat, did n''t you?"
4987	You want to go to the ball game?
4987	asked Betty,"Do you want me to tell you?"
4987	cried Grace,"Has anyone a chocolate cream?"
4987	declared Grace,"Your candy?"
4987	do n''t you know me?"
4987	his friend interrupted,"and we hit a stone, swerved over toward the animal, and nearly struck it?"
5004	A burglar? 5004 A cloud is n''t it?"
5004	A cruise?
5004	A fortune aboard?
5004	All ready?
5004	All ready?
5004	All ready?
5004	And do you think it could go to sea-- say for a couple of weeks?
5004	And why this sudden rush?
5004	And you happened to strike the right one?
5004	And, if you find the man?
5004	Are n''t you going to sue''em for damages, Jerry?
5004	Are the hatches closed,asked Mr. De Vere anxiously,"and the sliding doors fastened?"
5004	Are we fellows?
5004	Are you all done?
5004	Are you going? 5004 Are you interested in science?"
5004	Are you interested in that?
5004	Been robbing a bank?
5004	Better slow down; had n''t you?
5004	But what can we do?
5004	But what can we go in?
5004	But what makes them go in a circle?
5004	But what were you waiting for?
5004	But what''s that dark line out there?
5004	But where is Professor Snodgrass?
5004	But where is the professor?
5004	But why were you waiting for us, Ponto?
5004	But you want to go, do n''t you, Jerry?
5004	Ca n''t they go any faster?
5004	Ca n''t we get ahead of him in some way?
5004	Ca n''t we get our bearings from it?
5004	Ca n''t you hit it up a bit more, Jerry?
5004	Can I put my hands down now? 5004 Can you find your way to shore, through this fog?"
5004	Can you slow down the engine a bit?
5004	Can you tell where horned toads like to stay?
5004	Cattle?
5004	Did I understand you to say you had hired that large motor boat?
5004	Did n''t we tackle the Atlantic in the Dartaway, a smaller boat than this?
5004	Did n''t you pull me from my bunk?
5004	Did you ever hear anything more of your brig, the Rockhaven?
5004	Did you ever see such a coincidence? 5004 Did you ever take anything for that?"
5004	Did you hear anything more of Blowitz?
5004	Did you think I was going to sit out here? 5004 Did you think I was trying to rob the house?"
5004	Did you want to see us on business?
5004	Did you write and tell her we were coming?
5004	Did you, or any of your men notice whether, just before the ship sank, that all the rats on board deserted it?
5004	Do n''t you want to go ashore, boys?
5004	Do you deny that you are following me, and seeking to find the derelict Rockhaven?
5004	Do you know anything about this?
5004	Do you mean you are going to hunt for that man on the rocks?
5004	Do you really think we''ll find anything?
5004	Do you think it would be safe to go with Mr. De Vere?
5004	Do you think there are any horned toads around here?
5004	Do you think there is danger?
5004	Do you think they are following us?
5004	Do you think we are going to have a storm?
5004	Do you think we are in danger?
5004	Do you think we could find her?
5004	Do you think we''ll be here long?
5004	Do you think you boys can run her?
5004	Do you think you can walk down to our boat?
5004	Do you wish tickets? 5004 Do you?"
5004	Flaster?
5004	For the love of tripe, what''s that?
5004	From them?
5004	Getting fierce?
5004	Great? 5004 Had a break- down, eh?"
5004	Happened? 5004 Has any one seen her?"
5004	He did? 5004 Hop Sing?"
5004	How about it?
5004	How are you, Ponto?
5004	How can you tell?
5004	How did it happen?
5004	How long will we have to wait here?
5004	How many volumes do you expect to write?
5004	How''s she running, Ned?
5004	How?
5004	I suppose you came out here to study some new kind of plant or flowers, did n''t you?
5004	I suppose you have matters all arranged?
5004	I were jest takin''a nap--"Do you take me for a burglar?
5004	I wonder if he can have private information as to the location of the brig? 5004 I wonder if he made it up, or if it''s true?
5004	I wonder what Blowitz can want?
5004	I wonder what he meant, and what he was doing out here?
5004	I wonder what he wants?
5004	I wonder what he wants?
5004	I wonder what that stuff was that he shipped from the freight office?
5004	I wonder what they are writing to me about?
5004	I wonder why he does n''t hire some larger boat, or a small steam tug to go for that derelict?
5004	If we find him, what will we do with him?
5004	If we found her, and she was quite a way out to sea, how would we get her in?
5004	In writing-- why, is n''t my word good? 5004 Is he a friend of yours?"
5004	Is it gold or diamonds?
5004	Is it the derelict?
5004	Is n''t he coming?
5004	Is n''t it simply great?
5004	Is n''t that money enough?
5004	Is that the Ripper?
5004	Is the buoy anchored to rocks?
5004	Looking for me''?
5004	Mr. Seabury-- or-- er-- the girls?
5004	Need one? 5004 No bug''lar, eh?"
5004	Now we glow click, you sabe?
5004	Now what I am going to ask of you boys is this: Will you go with me in your motor boat and search for the brig? 5004 Now, when can you start?"
5004	Of course; what do you think I am?
5004	Oh, Ned, how are you?
5004	Oh, is that so''?
5004	Oh-- it''s near supper- time, is it?
5004	Or was it Rose or Nellie?
5004	Ponto,asked Jerry,"do you think you can take the young ladies safely home, without falling asleep?"
5004	Run her? 5004 Say, is that''Cornu batrachian''anything like a mountain lion?"
5004	See some new kind of a bug for the professor?
5004	Shake hands, wo n''t you?
5004	Shall I tell my father?
5004	Shall we ask him about the man?
5004	Shall we help you?
5004	Shall we speed up?
5004	Slow? 5004 Storm?
5004	Suppose the captain took them with him?
5004	Suppose we got the vessel, made fast to her, and started to tow her in and had to abandon her because of a storm?
5004	Take you out dere, Perfesser?
5004	That restaurant, where we had dinner--"Ca n''t you say something that has n''t got any eating in it?
5004	That''s a fine car you have, ai n''t it?
5004	That? 5004 The chance?
5004	The question to be settled now is: Do you want to go on a search for the derelict brig? 5004 Then there is n''t anyone on board now?"
5004	Then you want to go?
5004	Think we''re catching up?
5004	To California?
5004	Want a ride, or a tow?
5004	Want stage? 5004 Was he?"
5004	Was that what made us fall asleep?
5004	We''re going, are n''t we, Jerry?
5004	Well, I wonder if they do anything else in this country but sleep?
5004	Well, what do you fellows say?
5004	Well, what do you girls say to a ride?
5004	Well, what do you think of that?
5004	Well,he finally said, in answer to the urging of his two chums,"Which way would you say the dock was, Ned?"
5004	Well?
5004	Well?
5004	Whar am dat bug''lar man?
5004	Whar am he? 5004 What are you going to do?"
5004	What are you so slow about?
5004	What can we do?
5004	What did he say?
5004	What did you ask?
5004	What did you do that for?
5004	What do you mean by following me?
5004	What do you think he wanted of us? 5004 What do you think it is, Professor?"
5004	What do you think it means?
5004	What do you think we''d better do?
5004	What do you want, you scoundrel?
5004	What for?
5004	What had we better do?
5004	What is it?
5004	What is it?
5004	What is it?
5004	What is it?

5004	What''s the matter?
5004	What''s the trouble?
5004	What''s to be done?

5004	What''s up, Jerry?
5004	What, is the Dartaway lost?
5004	What-- what happened?
5004	What-- what''s the matter?
5004	What-- where am I?
5004	What? 5004 What?"
5004	When will you come back?
5004	When would we have to start?
5004	Where are you going, boys?
5004	Where is the place? 5004 Where shall we go?"
5004	Where shall we see you?
5004	Where will you look for them?

5004	Who?
5004	Why did n''t I get one?
5004	Why did n''t you agree to it, Jerry?
5004	Why did n''t you ask him what he wanted?
5004	Why do n''t they head the animals the other way when they see we''re right in the path?
5004	Why not? 5004 Why not?"
5004	Why not?
5004	Why not?
5004	Why, are n''t you boys coming too?
5004	Will we sink?
5004	Will you put your offer in writing?
5004	Will you wait just a moment?
5004	Will you?
5004	Would you hire it to us?
5004	Yes, if you want me to, Why?
5004	Yes, tell us, ca n''t you?
5004	You do n''t mean to say we are away out on the prairies not near a telegraph station, do you?
5004	You were? 5004 All mud? 5004 Are you all ready for your trip to California?
5004	Are you badly hurt?"
5004	Are you coming ashore?
5004	Blowitz?"
5004	But did you think of hiring her from us?
5004	But say-- it''s great, is n''t it?
5004	But suppose we go down to the seashore?
5004	But suppose we go inside''?
5004	But would you mind telling me your names?"
5004	CHAPTER IX A LUCKY ESCAPE"WHAT do you make it to be?"
5004	CHAPTER VII A BAD BREAK"THAT was queer, was n''t it?"
5004	CHAPTER XXVI RIVAL SEARCHERS"WHAT boat is that?"
5004	CHAPTER XXX THE END OF BLOWITZ-- CONCLUSION"ARE you going to stop?"
5004	Can you start at once''?"
5004	Could it be possible that the ship they saw was the derelict for which they had been searching?
5004	Did you get a circular too?"
5004	Did you have a good time?"
5004	Did you hear a call?"
5004	Do you happen to know where there are any horned toads?"
5004	Do you know whether there are any around here?"
5004	Do you want to stop and surrender?"
5004	Have you heard anything more about damages for our smashed boat, Jerry?"
5004	Have you seen Professor Snodgrass lately, Ponto?"
5004	How are we going to get''em?"
5004	How did it happen?"
5004	How much is it?"
5004	How would it do to go about in big circles, taking a new one every day?"
5004	How''s the engine working?"
5004	How?
5004	How?"
5004	I am sorry--""Sorry?
5004	I suppose we had better accept this sum, and not sue, eh?"
5004	I wonder if it''s my ears?
5004	I wonder if it''s safe for us to go out?"
5004	I wonder if there is any mystery connected with him?"
5004	I wonder what it can be doing out this way?"
5004	I wonder what we had better do?"
5004	Is n''t it unfortunate?
5004	Is that it?"
5004	Is the motor boat securely made fast?"
5004	It''s a small world, is n''t it?"
5004	Jest hold him up agin this yeah shootin''iron, young gem''mens, an''Ponto''ll make him wish he done gone stayed home?
5004	My clothes?
5004	Now what made them do that?
5004	Now you can start to- morrow morning, ca n''t you, boys?"
5004	Seabury?"
5004	Shall I tell''em, Jerry?"
5004	Take lide?
5004	Want any help?
5004	We did n''t know we were so heavy; did we girls?"
5004	We thought--""Excuse me,"suddenly interrupted the strange man, advancing toward the group of boys and girls,"but have n''t I seen you lads before?
5004	Well, you''ll not get it, see?
5004	Whar am he?"
5004	What I want to know is, if you boys would care to go out in that boat, the Ripper, and search for the derelict?
5004	What about my clothes?
5004	What caused the abandonment of the brig?"
5004	What do you advise, Professor?"
5004	What do you mean?"
5004	What do you say?
5004	What do you say?"
5004	What do you say?"
5004	What for?"
5004	What made the piston rod break, conductor?"
5004	What was that?"
5004	What''s he doing here?"
5004	What''s that''?"
5004	What''s the matter, Ned?"
5004	What''s the matter?"
5004	Where are you?
5004	Where are you?"
5004	Where did the sound come from?"
5004	Where is that black rascal?
5004	Where''s Mr. De Vere?"
5004	Where''s Rob?
5004	Where''s it from?"
5004	Who done call me?"
5004	Why did not Blowitz give me some reason for that?
5004	Why do n''t you have a telegraph instrument on the train?"
5004	Why do n''t you search after something beautiful, like the wonderful butterfly you found in Florida?"
5004	Why not this one?
5004	Why should he prefer us, when we have had no experience in that line, and hardly know him?
5004	Why should he want to hire you when, for the same money, or less, he could get a company of fishermen, who know these waters well, to make the search?
5004	Why, they are getting a little too close, are n''t they?"
5004	Will it not do to go to Señor Seabury''s to- morrow, or next day, or the day after?"
5004	Will you go?"
5004	Will you?"
5004	With we three aboard?"
5004	Wo n''t we girls?"
5004	Wo n''t you come in and have some chocolate with me?
5004	Wonder where the station agent is?"
5004	Would the professor''s ruse succeed?
5004	Yes or no?
5004	You will go at once, wo n''t you?
5004	Z., to he held until called for?"
5004	asked Bob,"and is n''t the Atlantic worse than the Pacific?"
32024	A girl?
32024	A silver purse?
32024	About what?
32024	All right-- but----"But them as is wrong; eh? 32024 And I wonder what the winter will bring forth-- and next summer?"
32024	And are ships wrecked?
32024	And it''s all-- I mean did you really help a girl?
32024	And my brother can manage that; ca n''t you, Jack?
32024	And so they caught Cross?
32024	And what was the name of the girl who worked in the office with her?
32024	And wo n''t you take off your cape?
32024	And you''ll promise not to go outside the bay-- you''ll stay where it''s calm?
32024	And your cousin?
32024	Any nice girls down there?
32024	Are n''t the lobsters delicious?
32024	Are the bungalows near the beach?
32024	Are they in sight?
32024	Are we going after all this?
32024	Are we going at this snail''s pace all day?
32024	Are we to call her that?
32024	Are you afraid?
32024	Are you all settled? 32024 Are you all sure that you want to go directly to the Cove, and do n''t care for a little side trip before reaching there?
32024	Are you all young folks?
32024	Are you going down?
32024	Are you really enjoying it, Cousin Mary?
32024	Are you referring to us?
32024	Are you sure she said me, Aunt Susan?
32024	Are you sure you are comfortable there?
32024	Are you sure you will be all right now?
32024	Are you sure?
32024	But I''ve driven over some very hard stretches myself; have n''t I, Jack?
32024	But his sister must bear some resemblance to him; do n''t you think, Eline?
32024	But how did it get there?
32024	But say, when are we going to get down to the horrible details, and make some definite plans? 32024 But what is so mysterious about it What does it say, Cora?"
32024	But what will Norton do?
32024	But who was she?
32024	But why did the woman hurry off so?
32024	But why stop at a wrench? 32024 Ca n''t we do anything more for you?"
32024	Ca n''t you get a bit nearer in shore?
32024	Ca n''t you move faster?
32024	Ca n''t you think of a way?
32024	Ca n''t you try to pass them?
32024	Can anyone think of anything else?
32024	Can they save the people?
32024	Can they save them?
32024	Can we do it, old man?
32024	Can you crank her?
32024	Can you put it in a can and toss it to me? 32024 Cora,"said Jack, a bit solemnly, as he was helping her lock up for the night,"was there anything about that strange woman that you did n''t tell us?"
32024	Could it go off by spontaneous combustion?
32024	Could n''t we chew chocolates as well?
32024	Could the lightning have struck?
32024	Did I?
32024	Did a rat get you?
32024	Did n''t it look bad for the girl?
32024	Did she look as though that might be the case?
32024	Did she----?
32024	Did the_ Petrel_ get off safely?
32024	Did you see anything of Jack?
32024	Did you swallow much water?
32024	Did you? 32024 Did you?"
32024	Did your light ever save any?
32024	Do n''t be a pessimist-- or is it an optimist? 32024 Do they do this sort of thing out your way?"
32024	Do you always have to make diagrams of your jokes that way, old man?
32024	Do you boys think that Aunt Susan is going to cook for you?
32024	Do you ever have storms here?
32024	Do you ever tend the light?
32024	Do you live there?
32024	Do you really think he meant to take you away-- your guardian?
32024	Do you really think so, Cora?
32024	Do you see that field over there?
32024	Do you swim, Eline?
32024	Do you think so?
32024	Do you think you could drive your sheep to one side, and keep them there until we passed?
32024	Does Ed?
32024	Does anything follow from that?
32024	Does n''t that entitle me to a rebate of punishment?
32024	Does that mean they ca n''t make the rescue?
32024	Fish- line color, is n''t it?
32024	Gasoline? 32024 Girl and all?"
32024	Has anything happened-- can we do anything?
32024	Has anything happened?
32024	Has it a cork?
32024	Has she come to yet?
32024	Has she told you her story?
32024	Have they heard anything more about the missing girl?
32024	Have you boys here?
32024	He''d rather ride on the run- board than anywhere else; would n''t you, old man?
32024	Hold out my hand?
32024	How about it, Jack old man?
32024	How about-- er-- grub-- not to put too fine a point upon it?
32024	How are we going to get it over to the Cove?
32024	How are you-- Nancy Ford?
32024	How can we get her into the boat?
32024	How can we trace her?
32024	How can you tell?
32024	How could they be? 32024 How did she happen to be on the raft?"
32024	How did you come to be in the barn?
32024	How do you do it?
32024	How do you do?
32024	How do you make that out?
32024	How far before there is a cross- road into which you could turn your sheep?
32024	How is it, Jack?
32024	How is your father?
32024	How so?
32024	How''s that?
32024	How-- how did it all happen?
32024	I am not Nancy Ford-- how-- how-- why do you call me that name?
32024	I wonder how he knew where you were?
32024	I wonder if they really did go off to a dance?
32024	I wonder if we could n''t go out in the boat?
32024	I wonder what happened to the missing girl?
32024	I wonder what has become of all the shipwrecked people?
32024	I wonder what''s the matter with that man?
32024	I wonder where our bungles are, anyhow? 32024 I wonder where that other Nancy is?"
32024	I wonder where we register?
32024	I wonder who she can be?
32024	I wonder who that girl in the red suit is?
32024	I wonder who they can be?
32024	Is it a riddle, Jack? 32024 Is it absolutely necessary to question her?"
32024	Is it hard to learn to drive a car?
32024	Is it really warm?
32024	Is it very far where you are going-- to Sandy Point Cove?
32024	Is n''t it lovely after the storm?
32024	Is n''t it strange?
32024	Is n''t it? 32024 Is n''t she with you?"
32024	Is she gone?
32024	Is the ship''s captain among them?
32024	Is the water cold?
32024	Is this like your sister''s writing?
32024	It''s just like some of those apartment house clothes lines on high poles,said Bess;"is n''t it?"
32024	It''s rather unpleasant for you, is n''t it, going about by yourself?
32024	Like it? 32024 May I oblige you, Belle, and tweak his nose for him?"
32024	Meaning that I am not?
32024	Missing girl?
32024	Mrs. Fordam, is there anything on our car-- any of those silly white satin ribbons, or----"Old shoes?
32024	No one else?
32024	No, ca n''t a fellow have an adventure without getting hurt? 32024 No; but where are we to find her?"
32024	Not mad; are you?
32024	Now will you be good?
32024	Now will you please be good?
32024	Now, do I look anything like a deserted lover?
32024	Oh, Jack, what happened?
32024	Oh, are we?
32024	Oh, can we help?
32024	Oh, can you do that?
32024	Oh, can you tell me where my sister is?
32024	Oh, do you suppose she can be from the wreck?
32024	Oh, girls, is n''t this just delightful?
32024	Oh, what is it?
32024	Oh, why does n''t that doctor hurry? 32024 Or mine?"
32024	Perhaps you have some theory yourself?
32024	Pretty?
32024	Rosalie being the mermaid?
32024	Sand-- pails?
32024	Say, boys, am I any less-- hammy?
32024	Say, old man, who was she?
32024	Say, this is great, is n''t it?
32024	Say, what sort of a dime novel have you been reading lately?
32024	Scare? 32024 Shall we pass her?"
32024	Shall you tell them?
32024	She ran away?
32024	Something else gone wrong, Jack?
32024	Suppose I told you that as soon as I saw Mr. Haley, the keeper of the light, I was sure I had seen his face before?
32024	Tell a fellow; ca n''t you? 32024 That''s-- er-- rather odd; is n''t it?"
32024	Then my name is cleared?
32024	Then she is innocent?
32024	They wo n''t blame me; will they?
32024	This is your brother?
32024	Thought of what?
32024	Throw me a line, will you? 32024 Upset; eh?"
32024	Walter making himself useful as he always does, I suppose?
32024	Want to talk to Ed?
32024	Was n''t it a good thing mother was not at home? 32024 Was n''t that the same woman who was at your house?"
32024	Was that man very mad, Jack?
32024	Was that really your guardian, Nancy?
32024	Washed overboard?
32024	We have to go right out on the ocean; do n''t we?
32024	Well, what were you trying to do?
32024	Were any of your friends hurt?
32024	Were n''t you frightened?
32024	What about the boys?
32024	What about your boat?
32024	What are they going to do, then?
32024	What are you going to do?
32024	What became of the woman?
32024	What can she want?
32024	What did you stop so suddenly for, and not signal us? 32024 What do you do when you ca n''t launch a boat?"
32024	What do you mean?
32024	What does this mean?
32024	What else can you do with him?
32024	What for?
32024	What for?
32024	What for?
32024	What happened next?
32024	What has that to do with it?
32024	What is it, Cora?
32024	What is it?
32024	What is it?
32024	What is it?
32024	What is it?
32024	What is it?
32024	What is that?
32024	What is this-- a class in arithmetic?
32024	What is this? 32024 What of it?
32024	What shall I do with it?
32024	What shall I find?
32024	What sort of a woman was she?
32024	What time are we to be ready?
32024	What was that?
32024	What was your sister''s name?
32024	What will Nancy say?
32024	What will we do with these theatre tickets?
32024	What''s the game, Sis? 32024 What''s the indication?"
32024	What''s the matter?
32024	What-- what will I do if she wakes up?
32024	What?
32024	What?
32024	What?
32024	What?
32024	Where am I, then?
32024	Where are the boys?
32024	Where are you going?
32024	Where are you going?
32024	Where could we get it?
32024	Where is Miss Kimball?
32024	Where is your cousin going to ride, Cora?
32024	Where''s Mrs. Raymond; the strange woman?
32024	Where''s your permit to sing?
32024	Where''s your water?
32024	Who do you suppose that girl could have been?
32024	Who is calling me?
32024	Who is it?
32024	Who said Nancy Ford?
32024	Who was she? 32024 Who was she?"
32024	Who was she?
32024	Who''s your friend, Cora?
32024	Who----"You do n''t mean to say you do n''t remember?
32024	Who? 32024 Who?"
32024	Why ca n''t she go right on to the Cove with us, and chaperone there, too?
32024	Why ca n''t you get dinner after you get here?
32024	Why did n''t you want to go to the lighthouse?
32024	Why do n''t you talk?
32024	Why does n''t he row in out of the storm?
32024	Why not? 32024 Why not?"
32024	Why not?
32024	Why should n''t we?
32024	Why, has anything happened?
32024	Why, how long have you been back?
32024	Why-- why, is n''t she still in the office? 32024 Why?"
32024	Why?
32024	Why?
32024	Will you go there?
32024	Will you have yours boiled or stewed?
32024	Will your brother be all right with us?
32024	With all the others near you?
32024	Wo n''t it be rich? 32024 Working yesterday, you mean, miss?"
32024	Would an empty olive bottle do?
32024	Would you be so cruel?
32024	Wreckers?
32024	Yes, but what good would it do to write to her there?
32024	Yes, was n''t that the arrangement?
32024	Yes; ca n''t you see her long hair?
32024	You did? 32024 You do n''t know?"
32024	You girls certainly look nice enough to----"Eat, were you going to say?
32024	You know that time my car developed a kink,he continued,"and you stopped yours, Jack?"
32024	You mean that there is a possibility that my sister may even yet be guilty?
32024	You mean the one who-- disappeared?
32024	You say that lighthouse girl has won swimming prizes, Cora?
32024	You''re sure it wo n''t be any trouble?
32024	And she is gone?"
32024	And so this Nancy Ford can clear my sister''s name?"
32024	And so those men were the robbers, after all?"
32024	And when it comes to ripples, to say nothing of waves, she----""Cora, ca n''t you make him behave?"
32024	And you gave her a ride?"
32024	And, Jack, what do you think?
32024	And, after all, what have I to fear more than I have already suffered?"
32024	Any damage done?"
32024	Are the girls all right?"
32024	Are you going anywhere that we can give you a lift?
32024	Are you going for a spin?"
32024	Are you good climbers?"
32024	Before the fire?"
32024	Belle is afraid of the water because-- let me see-- because it ca n''t spoil her complexion no matter whether it''s salt or fresh-- is that it?"
32024	But Margaret-- well, what''s the use of talking of it?"
32024	But did it all happen as you''ve told?"
32024	But do come over and see us; wo n''t you?"
32024	But how did he meet the girls and get them to come?"
32024	But was your aunt a delicate woman, with iron gray hair, and rather a nervous manner?"
32024	But what if the man who owns this field was to see me?
32024	But who''s to get in the car with Belle?"
32024	But why do you ask?"

32024	Could you?"
32024	Did n''t I ever get lost before?"
32024	Did n''t you hear one of the sailors say a girl was missing-- perhaps swept overboard?"
32024	Did you have a nice ride?"
32024	Did you have supper?"
32024	Did you''phone in an alarm?"
32024	Dinner; is n''t it, Cora?"
32024	Do I look all right?"
32024	Do n''t you want my car?
32024	Do you live around here?"
32024	Do you remember the name of the woman I found in the garage the night of the fire?"
32024	Do you suppose he would show us through the light?"
32024	Do you want to talk to Jack again?"
32024	Does anything seem wrong?
32024	Get the idea?
32024	Haley?"
32024	He----""Did n''t you telephone for him long ago?"
32024	Her mother was a wealthy widow, and there was Jack, Cora''s brother, taller than she, darker perhaps and was he handsomer?
32024	How did so many women, and those girls, come to be on the schooner?"
32024	How did you get the boy out?
32024	How did you like it, Cousin Mary?"
32024	How''s everybody?"
32024	How?
32024	How?"
32024	Howsomever----""Ca n''t something be done?"
32024	I ca n''t see why she did it?
32024	I had down on my notes''Cousin Mary-- where?''
32024	I know my sister, Cora Kimball-- perhaps you know her----?"
32024	Is it that algebra affair?"
32024	Kin I ever find her?''
32024	Listen, you will try to come on to- night; wo n''t you?"
32024	Now could you not drive your sheep into the field?"
32024	Now what mischief has my fat boy been getting into?"
32024	Oh, has he gone?"
32024	Perhaps you are hungry?"
32024	Perhaps you would like to speak to father?"
32024	Raymond?"
32024	Say, listen, you will make Jack come; wo n''t you, Ed?"
32024	Shall I say good- bye?"
32024	She was takin''on somethin''bad, cryin''like, and mutterin''''Kin I ever find her?
32024	Silence did reign-- or, considering the shower, might one not say"rain"for a moment?
32024	Suppose I tell you how I came to meet her, and what happened?"
32024	The girls had been cruising about for perhaps an hour when Eline called:"What is that over there?"
32024	The next moment she shrieked:"Oh, what is it?
32024	The road narrowed about a mile farther on, but before the cars lengthened out into single file again, Belle asked:"Where are we to lunch, Cora?"
32024	Then Cora called to Rosalie:"Wo n''t your father be worried?"
32024	They cried:"Who is she?"
32024	Thus chattered the motor girls as they came back to the hotel rather late-- or was it early?
32024	Want to come?"
32024	Was that saved?
32024	Were you hurt?"
32024	What do you mean?"
32024	What else could we do?"
32024	What happened?
32024	What kept you?"
32024	What of her?"
32024	What was the use?
32024	What''s the answer?"
32024	When can we arrange it?"
32024	Where can she be keeping herself?
32024	Where can she be?"
32024	Where had she come from?
32024	Where is she now?"
32024	Who can she be?"
32024	Who could this strange, elderly woman be?
32024	Who is it?
32024	Who keeps the light?
32024	Who knows but we may help unravel the mystery?"
32024	Who was that girl, Jack?"
32024	Why did Nancy Ford not return to clear my name?
32024	Why did she flee at the sight of the men, who showed no indication of being robbers?
32024	Why did she run before any harm was done?
32024	Why did she want to make it appear that she was a stranger?
32024	Why not duplicate all the fixings?
32024	Why should I?"
32024	Will you please come here?"
32024	Would you like to come?"
32024	You can spend the rest of the summer here with us; ca n''t you, Nancy?"
32024	You do n''t mean to say, Jack Kimball, that you''re going to stop to_ eat_?"
32024	You see----""Was that what she said?"
32024	You''ll be back before lunch; wo n''t you?"
32024	Your car has broken down while you were coming here?
32024	is it very bad?"
38617	A whole yellow- legged chicken?
38617	And how did you get away from him?
38617	And leave the boat alone?
38617	And now,he went on,"what are we going to do to- night?
38617	And row against that current?
38617	And sent this riverman, Gid Brent, on board at Cairo to see if the boy was there?
38617	And where would we leave the_ Rambler_?
38617	And you had to leave him there-- tied?
38617	And you think he will hang about the bank, walking down from where he was put off, and try to pick us off?
38617	And you wo n''t help any one to find me?
38617	And you''re looking for a job?
38617	And your searchlight?
38617	Are the boys in there?
38617	Are you all right?
38617	Are you sure it was the boy who came back with the leather bag?
38617	Are you sure it was the boy?
38617	Are you sure they were officers?
38617	Are you thinking of sticking about this section all night?
38617	Because you do n''t know where he is?
38617	But did the package contain bonds?
38617	But how are we ever going to get out there and dig a grave?
38617	But how?
38617	But what did they throw it back here for?
38617	But what was going on there?
38617	But where is Clay?
38617	But why did n''t you pinch him?
38617	But why not turn on the prow light?
38617	But why should he come spying here?
38617	Ca n''t we follow this bayou current and get out on the river below them?
38617	Can either of you boys see the fellow who is doing the talking?
38617	Can you give me something of a notion of it in a few words?
38617	Can you swim?
38617	Chet was broke, was n''t he?
38617	Dat yo''bear?
38617	Did he say he was a pilot?
38617	Did n''t I just tell you that I was n''t going to talk?
38617	Did n''t we bring him up out of the waters? 38617 Did you eat a whole one?"
38617	Did you find Sam again?
38617	Did you find who he was?
38617	Did you hear any one around before you left?
38617	Did you look him over carefully enough to be able to give me a description of him?
38617	Did you take a dive at Cairo,he asked,"and come up at Memphis?"
38617	Do n''t you suppose they know what it was I put in the deposit box at the bank?
38617	Do n''t you want a duck or a fish?
38617	Do they mix with murderers and steal motor boats when they do that?
38617	Do we know where we are going, any of us?
38617	Do you carry a gun, lad?
38617	Do you hear anything that sounds uncanny? 38617 Do you know him?"
38617	Do you mean it?
38617	Do you mean that we got down the river in advance of the flood?
38617	Do you really think they have a way of discovering approaching peril which human beings have not? 38617 Do you see what the bulldog wants?"
38617	Do you think the story that man is telling is all right?
38617	Ever see him before?
38617	From St. Louis, eh?
38617	Got your gun?
38617	Has there anything happened to us on this trip that you do n''t know about?
38617	Have the officers found any of the stolen property?
38617	Have the ruffians been here long?
38617	Have you got a knife yet?
38617	Have you got any dry guns in there?
38617	Have you looked in the bag for any solution of the puzzle?
38617	He said he''d get the gems back if he could, did n''t he? 38617 How are we ever going to get out of here?"
38617	How did you come to get into such a scrape?
38617	How did you come to mix with those wreckers?
38617	How did you ever think of it?
38617	How did you get back here?
38617	How did you get here?
38617	How did you get in here?
38617	How did you like the play?
38617	How did you manage to swing him up? 38617 How do you know I''m the man?"
38617	How do you know that?
38617	How do you know we are from Chicago?
38617	How far are we now from the mud bank he mounted?
38617	How long will it be before you''ll both disappear?
38617	How many more are we likely to find before we get to the Gulf?
38617	I believe all the calls from deserted houses are long and low, what?
38617	I presume you''ll want hot biscuits for supper, too?
38617	I suppose those three mechanics were detectives, too?
38617	I wonder if Jule got on board?
38617	I wonder if that fellow has had the nerve to come back here? 38617 I wonder if the kid is right?"
38617	If they are officers, the men at the fire,Jule asked,"why do n''t we go right up to them and find out what''s doing?
38617	Is Jule there?
38617	Is he your son?
38617	Is it de win''makes de ribber come up?
38617	Is n''t the place watched?
38617	Is that rowboat at the side all right?
38617	Is that the answer?
38617	Is that the sheriff-- the tall man with the red hair?
38617	Is the child implicated in any crime?
38617	Is the man you mention Red, the riverman?
38617	Is the river rising?
38617	Is there any reason why he ca n''t go with us?
38617	It do n''t look as if we could walk out of here, does it?
38617	It may be,Clay admitted,"but here''s the question: Is he a robber or a detective?
38617	Keep still a minute, ca n''t you?
38617	Mose made it, did n''t you, coon?
38617	Mose,he went on,"I''ll give you a plate of honey for supper if you''ll tell me where Chet is and who threw the leather bag on deck last night?"
38617	Now where?
38617	Now, what is it about the boy?
38617	Now, will you be good enough to tell me if you have seen him since that night?
38617	Now,he added, turning out the lights and throwing off his coat,"do you want to go to the shore with me?
38617	Now,he thought,"shall I walk back to the_ Rambler_ to- night, or shall I remain here and look over the town?"
38617	Of course,laughed the man,"you would n''t come out if I should unlock the door?"
38617	Perhaps you think I did n''t catch a fish?
38617	Say, boys, I did make a quick get- away a couple of times? 38617 Say, what''s the matter of taking Captain Joe with us when we go to the house?
38617	Say, you wo n''t blame me if I find where you put the diamonds and run off with them, will you?
38617	Say,Alex., who had been listening, cut in,"what do you know about that old mansion?
38617	Say,Case said,"what''s come over Chet?
38617	Say,he finally asked, wrinkling his freckled nose at the man,"what is the answer to this?
38617	Shall I pitch the dog overboard?
38617	Shall we spend the night in the city?
38617	Shall we take them in the rear?
38617	She sees our lights, but what is she coming over to this side for?
38617	So that''s Sam over there with the negroes?
38617	So you are a detective?
38617	So you have been overhauled by the officers, too, have you?
38617	So you''ve got Clay, too, have you?
38617	Some old acquaintance of yours?
38617	Some one fro''what?
38617	Some one lives here? 38617 Suppose we go over to the ranch and see what sort of a place it is?
38617	Suppose we see if he is badly hurt before we leave him?
38617	Suppose we try the door once more? 38617 Suppose we turn on the power and chase''em up?"
38617	Tell me this,said the sheriff, then,"what did you boys discover in the old house on the bank of the lagoon?
38617	That was after you rented a deposit box at a bank?
38617	The cashier said he was curious to see the famous boat, did n''t he?
38617	The longest stretch of water takes the river name, does n''t it? 38617 The other boy?
38617	Then what is it making the music?
38617	Then why do n''t you cut it out?
38617	Then you are machinists?
38617	Think one is going to climb up on the deck? 38617 To sleep on?"
38617	Took a piece out of your leg, did he? 38617 Up there?"
38617	Vot iss?
38617	Was it cooked?
38617	Was it cooked?
38617	Was that your fire we saw?
38617	We do n''t know enough to eat when we''re hungry, do we? 38617 We have been going a little faster than the current, have n''t we, notwithstanding our tying up nights?"
38617	We would get out of jail in time, but who wants to lie in a cell when there is so much fun to be had on the river? 38617 Well, if he''s on the level, what''s he doing with a man like Sam?"
38617	Well, what is it?
38617	Well, where did you leave Alex.?
38617	Well,Clay replied,"why not?
38617	Well,the officer went on, with a puzzling expression on his face,"if you come across this boy Chet will you let me know about it?"
38617	Well?
38617	Were they in that old house on the bayou?
38617	What about it?
38617	What about that? 38617 What about that?"
38617	What are we going to do now?
38617	What are you boys talking about?
38617	What are you doing here?
38617	What did he have you locked up for?
38617	What did he say about that furniture?
38617	What did it contain when you first saw it?
38617	What did you do to them, Mose? 38617 What do you fellows want?"
38617	What do you make of it?
38617	What do you make of that?
38617	What do you think of it?
38617	What do you think of that for a mystery?
38617	What do you think of the little one for a diamond dip?
38617	What do you want?
38617	What does he mean?
38617	What else could I do, under the circumstances?
38617	What else could I do?
38617	What for?
38617	What is Chet doing on there?
38617	What is it now?
38617	What is it now?
38617	What is the matter with the boy? 38617 What killed him?"
38617	What kind of a menagerie is this?
38617	What kind of hospital treatment do you require?
38617	What next?
38617	What ought we to do now?
38617	What seems to be the difficulty?
38617	What shall we do with the mattresses now?
38617	What shall we do?
38617	What was it you boys put in the deposit box at the bank?
38617	What were they talking about last night?
38617	What will your mammy say to your going off on the river? 38617 What you going to get for dinner?"
38617	What''s doing?
38617	What''s doing?
38617	What''s the answer?
38617	What''s the answer?
38617	What''s the matter with the boat?
38617	What''s the matter with the coon?
38617	What''s the matter with the fellow at the head of the pier?
38617	What''s the matter with you to- night?
38617	What''s your name?
38617	What''s your name?
38617	When did you leave Chicago?
38617	When will this strategy board you refer to make a report?
38617	Where can you get a fish to- night?
38617	Where did the boy go that night? 38617 Where did they get it?"
38617	Where did you come from?
38617	Where did you get the diamonds?
38617	Where did you get them?
38617	Where did you live in Chicago?
38617	Where did you live last?
38617	Where did you run from?
38617	Where did you see him last?
38617	Where did you work?
38617	Where do we get the trolley?
38617	Where do you live?
38617	Where do you suppose that boy went to?
38617	Where do you want to go?
38617	Where have you two been?
38617	Where is the_ Rambler_?
38617	Where is the_ Rambler_?
38617	Where''s the coon''s boat?
38617	Where''s your river pole?
38617	Who are they?
38617	Who brought you up?
38617	Who says I ca n''t produce a whale when I feel the need of a whole one fried?
38617	Who was the other boy?
38617	Who''s chasing him?
38617	Who''s got mischief in the mind?
38617	Who''s got them?
38617	Whose dog are you, anyway?
38617	Why did n''t he remain with us?
38617	Why did n''t you ask some one to tell you about it?
38617	Why did n''t you do that before?
38617	Why did n''t you say so?
38617	Why did n''t you stay on board the boat at Cairo?
38617	Why did who throw it back here?
38617	Why do n''t you come in out of the dark?
38617	Why do n''t you get up and introduce yourself? 38617 Why do n''t you pass it around?"
38617	Why do n''t you show up?
38617	Why do n''t you tell me all about it?
38617	Why do n''t you wait and see what he will do?
38617	Why do you say up there? 38617 Why do you suggest crime in connection with the kid?"
38617	Why do you think I know anything of him? 38617 Why not go, then?"
38617	Why not put her on a gondola car again and take her as near to the headwaters of the St. Lawrence as we can?
38617	Why not settle the whole matter right here, and so have done with it? 38617 Why not take it on board?"
38617	Why should he want to be hidden? 38617 Why should we run away from them?"
38617	Why the soft pedal?
38617	Why wo n''t you tell?
38617	Why? 38617 Why?"
38617	Will I? 38617 Will you shake hands on that?"
38617	Wonder how he wants him cooked for supper?
38617	Would n''t it be wiser to drive them away?
38617	Yes; what of it?
38617	You believe that Red had a hand in the robbery at Rock Island?
38617	You did n''t get too many high balls while in the city, did you?
38617	You hungry?
38617	You notice the steamer came UP the river?
38617	You remember that night on the Amazon, when we scared the life out of a couple of renegade Englishmen and a native Indian?
38617	You saw it?
38617	You spoke, that night, about a boy who had come on board?
38617	You swam all that way to steal a chicken?
38617	You think it was Sam, the Robber, the man who accompanied Red?
38617	You''re a pilot, eh?
38617	You''ve been following me for this, have you? 38617 You''ve got over your scare, eh?"
38617	And the air?
38617	And the man?
38617	Are we going on down the river, or are we going to get into some cozy little slip and anchor for the second time?"
38617	Besides, he seemed to own the steamer you were on, did n''t he?"
38617	But who is it?"
38617	By the way, do you know a giant of a man, red- headed and kind- hearted, who is a gentleman of leisure one moment and a river pirate the next?"
38617	CHAPTER XI FIRE- FACES ON THE ISLAND"What are they squatting there watching the boat for?"
38617	CHAPTER XVIII SWEPT INTO A SWAMP"Who threw you and Captain Joe into the river, up north?"
38617	Ca n''t we get out of here before they reach us?"
38617	Can you beat it?"
38617	Can you swim?"
38617	Clay looked thoughtful for a second and then burst out:"But is he?
38617	Clay went on, patiently:"Where is your home?"
38617	Did the dog make any remarks about the time the bag reached the deck?"
38617	Did you swipe them from the men who robbed the Rock Island warehouse, kid?"
38617	Do n''t you want to stay here?"
38617	Do we eat?"
38617	Do you expect to meet him again during your trip?"
38617	Do you get me?"
38617	Do you happen to be hungry, little one?"
38617	Do you hear anything?"
38617	Do you know if they left any one on board the boat?"
38617	Do you want to see the sheriff?"
38617	Finally one of the men, who seemed to be in command, demanded of Clay:"Where did the boy who came on board go?"
38617	Guess you got him peeved, did n''t you?"
38617	Hand me the axe when I get down on the trunk, will you?"
38617	Has he turned himself into a billy goat?"
38617	He was a white man, was n''t he?"
38617	Here, Case,"he called out,"did you bring the repairs?"
38617	Honest, now, did n''t he expect to find some of the plunder taken from the warehouse on the boat?"
38617	How is that for a peaceful life, Mose?"
38617	How long will it take you to finish the dresser?
38617	How many legs and arms have you broken?"
38617	I wonder if it will do anything to us?"
38617	I wonder what he thinks he''s going to do with me?"
38617	Is he on the level, or is he just a clever scoundrel?"
38617	Is that right, Mose?"
38617	Is that satisfactory to you?"
38617	Is this a frame- up?"
38617	Louis?"
38617	Mose,"he added, turning to the negro boy,"was that the man who threw you and the dog into the water?"
38617	Nice adventure this?"
38617	Now what?"
38617	Now, tell me this: Have you an appointment with this boy farther down the river?
38617	Now, the question is how are we going to get out and back to the_ Rambler_?"
38617	Now, what do you think has become of Clay?"
38617	Now, what the mischief is the little coon up to, I''d like to know?"
38617	Now, which one of the four is out there in the river?
38617	Now, why did n''t the sheriff demand the key and claim the diamonds as stolen property?"
38617	Red looked the boy in the face steadily for a moment and then asked:"You do n''t want to harm the lad, do you?"
38617	Say, kid,"he went on,"what''s your name?"
38617	See how the current sets that way?
38617	See?
38617	See?"
38617	See?"
38617	Shall we tell Clay the glad news, or let him sleep?"
38617	So are we?"
38617	Some day he''ll turn so white with fright that he will never turn black again, and he would n''t like that, would you, Mose?"
38617	Suppose we drop down to- night?
38617	Suppose you loosen up and tell me what it is?"
38617	That was Red he described, eh?"
38617	The pat- pat of the dog''s soft feet came nearer, and the guard spoke again:"How the Old Harry did you get in here?"
38617	Then this must be the party that gave the officers such a race up above Vicksburg?"
38617	They wo n''t lock us up, will they?"
38617	Took a piece out of your leg, did he?"
38617	Understand that?"
38617	Was that Chet?"
38617	Was the person you talked with a prisoner?"
38617	We never thought of that, did we?"
38617	What about him?"
38617	What about it?"
38617	What about the old mansion, where the negro boy and the dog got your friends out of a bad mess?"
38617	What could I do, when the coons were making a rush for the camp?"
38617	What did he come on board the_ Rambler_ for?
38617	What do you mean by forming an exploring expedition all by yourself and having all the fun?"
38617	What do you mean by striking me?"
38617	What do you say?
38617	What do you think of him?
38617	What do you think of that?"
38617	What do you think they wanted to hold us for?"
38617	What do you think?"
38617	What do you want here, anyway?"
38617	What do you want?"
38617	What does this ghost call sound like?"
38617	What gets me is what they built that fire for?"
38617	What have you been doing to him?"
38617	What is the matter?"
38617	What kind of a gang is it that holds forth there?"
38617	What next, I wonder?"
38617	What next?"
38617	What next?"
38617	What shall we do?"
38617	What sort of a place is this, anyway?"
38617	What was it?"
38617	What was that swimmer saying to you?"
38617	What were those people chasing you for?"
38617	What will he be finding next?
38617	What''s going wrong now?
38617	What?
38617	What?
38617	What?
38617	What?"
38617	What?"
38617	What?"
38617	When do the persecuted c- h- e- i- l- d- s return to their agonized and heart- broken parents?"
38617	When?
38617	Where are the boys?"
38617	Where are you boys going?"
38617	Where are you going to keep the diamonds, Clay?"
38617	Where did that little coon go?"
38617	Where did the boy go?"
38617	Where did you get it, chile?"
38617	Where did you get them?"
38617	Where did you go last night?
38617	Where had he heard it before?
38617	Where is he now?"
38617	Where is that boat going?"
38617	Where?
38617	Who is he, and what is he wanted for?"
38617	Who is it?"
38617	Who told you about the bag if the cashier did n''t?
38617	Who wants more ham?"
38617	Who were the men with him?"
38617	Why did you run away from the officers?"
38617	Why do n''t you come on deck?"
38617	Why do you ask the question?
38617	Why should he come to you, anyway?"
38617	Why should the robber come to us to speak a good word for the boy?
38617	Will you come in the cabin and sit by me while I do it?"
38617	Will you do that?"
38617	Will you promise to remain on the boat?"
38617	You say you''ve had trouble on the way down?
38617	You want some, too, do n''t you Mose?"
38617	You''re the man that fought Murphy to a draw?
38617	called out to their invisible guard, directly,"how many acts are there in this drama?
38617	cried, with one of his inimitable grins,"why not have a fish for supper?
38617	fished you off from?"
38617	grumbled,"what did they come here for, anyway?
38617	he asked?
38617	moving the_ Rambler_?"
38617	questioned,"what do you make of the old jail of a house Jule and I were locked up in?
7210	''But is n''t this a rather-- er-- small force to capture a large steamer, in possession of desperate men?
7210	''What are they?
7210	''Why?
7210	A bluff, Senor-- a bluff-- a high hill-- I am to make a high hill of feeling good?
7210	All right?
7210	And did you land here?
7210	And do you think we''ll touch near there, Jack?
7210	And have you, and us, worrying all the time on this voyage? 7210 And he flung you this cap?"
7210	And how long would you say she could keep afloat?
7210	And how shall we know what to pay?
7210	And if they do n''t?
7210	And is that all that happened?
7210	And is your father really going to try to have the Spanish prisoner released?
7210	And leave us here alone?
7210	And she asked the oddest question-- about Sea Horse Island-- where papa is going-- and she spoke of her father-- I wonder what she meant?
7210	And that''s all?
7210	And these papers?
7210	And was he really going to steal the papers?
7210	And what are the chances of success?
7210	And what did they do to you?
7210	And what of the passengers-- our folks?
7210	And what of the passengers?
7210	And when may I have the pleasure of paying my respects to your honored mother?
7210	And you want me to look?
7210	And you want to go to Sea Horse Island?
7210	And you wo n''t go away and leave me, as the others did?
7210	And, Senor Jack-- may-- may I go?
7210	And-- er-- did they?
7210	Anyhow, there are copies to be had, are n''t there?
7210	Are n''t you going to finish that lace, Cora?
7210	Are there many boats like this in San Juan?
7210	Are you going ashore?
7210	Are you going out for a long cruise?
7210	Are you going to spend all your time on Porto Rico?
7210	Are you ill?
7210	Are you joking?
7210	Are you really feeling any better, Jack?
7210	Are you really going?
7210	Are you sure of this?
7210	Back here to sleep?
7210	Bad news?
7210	Bad news?
7210	Because, in New York, I found one of his political party-- himself an exile, who gave me what you call documents-- I know not ze term--"Evidence?
7210	Bow, what''s our next move?
7210	But can you give us any more news of the Ramona? 7210 But did you hear anything?"
7210	But how did it all happen?
7210	But how did it happen-- what''s the matter?
7210	But how did the sailor get shot?
7210	But how does this concern us?
7210	But how shall I get my papairs back?
7210	But is my mother aboard? 7210 But it is awful, is n''t it?
7210	But they are certain the ship foundered? 7210 But we''re too good sailors to mind that-- aren''t we?"
7210	But what about Inez and her political problem?
7210	But what does it mean? 7210 But what have you done since being marooned here?"
7210	But what of the passengers?
7210	But what of the ship-- the passengers?
7210	But what''s it all about?
7210	But what''s the advantage of it?
7210	But where are they?
7210	But why should she want to speak to us?
7210	But you are real, are n''t you, now?
7210	But you did not see that happen?
7210	But, as you say, what about her? 7210 Ca n''t we get some news?"
7210	Ca n''t we start and rescue them?
7210	Can we carry her, or shall I call John?
7210	Can you board her now?
7210	Certainly, why not? 7210 Come with you?"
7210	Cora, are you there?
7210	Could we go, Mother?
7210	Could you find out when Ramo left, and if he was near this section of the hotel?
7210	Curious, is n''t it?
7210	Damaged? 7210 Did I get up?
7210	Did he look like a sailor?
7210	Did she lose them?
7210	Did she say anything about herself?
7210	Did she tell anything of herself?
7210	Did that man do anything-- or speak to you?
7210	Did you get up and look?
7210	Did you mention the West Indies?
7210	Did you see any of them?
7210	Did you see something?
7210	Did you tell your father, Bess?
7210	Did you try to see how near you could miss a dog?
7210	Do I really see it?
7210	Do they?
7210	Do you feel well enough to talk?
7210	Do you know a Senor Miguel Ramo?
7210	Do you mean he belonged to the political party that put your father in prison?
7210	Do you mean it?
7210	Do you mean taken-- stolen?
7210	Do you mean we can not see the prisoner, or that you will not release him?
7210	Do you really feel equal to it, Jack?
7210	Do you really mean you''ll take me wiz you?
7210	Do you really think some man was trying to get them?
7210	Do you suppose he could have been hurt playing football, Cora?
7210	Do you think it, was Ramo?
7210	Do you, by any possible chance, mean the Ramona of the Royal Line?
7210	Do you-- do you think it can be my father?
7210	Do you-- do you think she''ll faint?
7210	Does it ache?
7210	Eh? 7210 Eh?
7210	Eh?
7210	Enemies?
7210	Fast and seaworthy?
7210	For charter?
7210	Gone?
7210	Gone?
7210	Handsome stranger? 7210 Harry, think you''ll be safe with two of them?"
7210	Has there been a wreck? 7210 Have we sighted it?"
7210	Have you gasoline for a long run?
7210	Have you sighted the Ramona?
7210	Have you them with you?
7210	He thinks it''s great-- don''t you, Jack?
7210	Hear that, Joe?
7210	Help?
7210	How did it happen-- where?
7210	How did you hope to do that?
7210	How did you know where to look for us? 7210 How long ago?"
7210	How was he hurt?''
7210	How''d you know?
7210	How''ll we piece out?
7210	How?
7210	How?''
7210	I guess you know Harry-- all of you-- don''t you?
7210	I say, fellows, are there any cinders on my necktie?
7210	I wonder how he got in?
7210	I wonder if I''d have time to do mine that way before--?
7210	I wonder if Walter will stay on for a few days?
7210	I wonder if he''s going to put us all under arrest?
7210	I wonder if one dreams in San Juan any differently than in Chelton?
7210	I wonder if they''ve seen us, and are waiting for us?
7210	I wonder what could have happened to Jack?
7210	I wonder what she''s up to?
7210	I wonder what we''ll find there?
7210	I wonder where she is to- night?
7210	If you are successful-- if you find ze lost ones, and we are near Sea Horse Island, would you leave me zere-- wiz my father?
7210	Inez, I think I left my fan in my room-- will you please get it for me?
7210	Inez,she asked,"would you mind going down and seeing if mother has everything she wants?"
7210	Is her name Carmencita or Marita?
7210	Is it from Walter?
7210	Is it much damaged?
7210	Is it possible to go about down among these islands in a big motor boat?
7210	Is it possible?
7210	Is it zat I have put too much paprika on ze fith?
7210	Is it zat you are in sorrow?
7210	Is n''t he?
7210	Is n''t it good of Wally to come home with him?
7210	Is n''t it too bad?
7210	Is n''t it, girls? 7210 Is she any better, Mother?"
7210	Is she-- do you think she is raving-- a little out of her mind?
7210	Is that the fellow she suspects?
7210	Is there a chance of that?
7210	Is there anything to see here ashore?
7210	Is there anything?
7210	Is there really a chance of doing that?
7210	It''s rather complicated-- isn''t it?
7210	It''s worth trying, is n''t it, Walter?
7210	Jack?
7210	Leave you there?
7210	Lonely Island?
7210	Look how?
7210	May we count on you, if we make up a party to go to the West Indies?
7210	Mean it? 7210 Meaning what?"
7210	No? 7210 Not here?
7210	Now then, are you girls ready?
7210	Now, what is it, Inez?
7210	Of course it''s interesting, and all that-- almost like a story, in fact-- but what does she want?
7210	Oh, Cora, would n''t you just fairly love to run that splendid motor?
7210	Oh, I wonder what lies before us?
7210	Oh, Jack, do you think we can do it?
7210	Oh, Jack, do you think we can get any news of the steamer soon?
7210	Oh, but boys are so different; are n''t they, Inez?
7210	Oh, but does n''t the weather look queer?
7210	Oh, did you hear anything of father and mother?
7210	Oh, has anything happened? 7210 Oh, is n''t it simple-- when you''re shown?"
7210	Oh, what is it, Senoritas?
7210	Oh, what will become of us?
7210	Oh, will he try to rescue him?
7210	Oh, will you-- will you take me, Senoritas?
7210	Or a pirate?
7210	Pardon Senoritas,began the lace seller, in soft accents,"but did I hear one of you ladies mention Sea Horse Island-- in ze West Indies?
7210	Perhaps he thinks we ca n''t drive?
7210	Say''Cuanto?''
7210	Senor Ramo incarcerated?
7210	Shall I come with you to the station, Cora?
7210	Shall we come aboard?
7210	Shall we take him aboard, Cora?
7210	Since you''ve been there, where had we better anchor?
7210	Sinking-- do you mean?
7210	Strange-- what do you mean?
7210	Such storms as this?
7210	Superior creatures-- aren''t they?
7210	That fellow who made so much trouble--"Yes, and who do you think was with him?
7210	That man?
7210	The Ramona did you say?
7210	The Ramona-- the steamer mother sailed on-- wrecked?
7210	The West Indies? 7210 The lonely island?"
7210	The man got away, did n''t he, Belle?
7210	The plotters were going to do this?
7210	The steamer mother and father sailed on?
7210	Then all are lost?
7210	Then how did you get the cap?
7210	Then it''s pleasure?
7210	Then the Ramona may be afloat now?
7210	Then we may find some of them alive?
7210	Then why are you so alarmed?
7210	Then why do n''t you take her?
7210	Then you are n''t going to follow that fashion?
7210	Then you have a good chance of catching them?
7210	Then you think she did go down?
7210	Then you wo n''t try to run up alongside now?
7210	There''s another boat headed for us, perhaps she wants help?
7210	To whom, Senor?
7210	Us?''
7210	Want me to hold your hand some more?
7210	Was n''t it awful-- just awful?
7210	Was n''t it strange-- that she should come in and seem so worked- up over the mention of Sea Horse Island?
7210	Was n''t that remarkable?
7210	Was your room this way when you came in?
7210	We are going there on a winter cruise, and--"Pardon me-- but to Sea Horse Island?
7210	We can question him there, and, if necessary, we can--She hesitated, and Jack asked:"Well, what?
7210	We''ll just have to do something, and I ca n''t think of anything better to do-- can you? 7210 Well, are you glad to be back here?"
7210	Well, girls, are you all ready to leave?
7210	Well, it would take too long to tell it all, but what would you say, if I went on a long sea voyage this winter?
7210	Well, we want him to, do n''t we?
7210	Well?
7210	Well?
7210	Were you suddenly stricken?
7210	What about poor little Inez?
7210	What about? 7210 What are you going to do about it?"
7210	What are you thinking of?
7210	What became of him?
7210	What boat is that?
7210	What can be done?
7210	What can have happened? 7210 What did he do?"
7210	What did he say to papa?
7210	What did you say, Belle?
7210	What do you mean?
7210	What do you mean?
7210	What do you mean?
7210	What do you mean?
7210	What do you think of it, Captain?
7210	What do you think, Doctor?
7210	What does it all mean? 7210 What else did he do?"
7210	What else do you say in this country, Inez?
7210	What if he should n''t be there?
7210	What is it, Sis?
7210	What is it, please?
7210	What is it?
7210	What is it?
7210	What is it?
7210	What is it?
7210	What is it?
7210	What of Inez''s father?
7210	What sort of a place is that?
7210	What was it-- a bat?
7210	What was it-- another?
7210	What were we talking of?
7210	What would I do if I wanted a glass of ice cream soda water?
7210	What would I say? 7210 What''s all the excitement about?"
7210	What''s it all about, Wally?
7210	What''s that queer smell?
7210	What''s that?
7210	What''s the joke?
7210	What''s the joke?
7210	What''s the matter, Jack?
7210	What''s the matter?
7210	What''s the matter?
7210	What''s the program?
7210	What, sentimental Angie?
7210	What, to be funny?
7210	What?
7210	What?
7210	Where are the boys?
7210	Where are you going?
7210	Where bound?
7210	Where is Sea Horse Island?
7210	Where is a Double Island?
7210	Where is she?
7210	Where next?
7210	Where''s Inez?
7210	Where?
7210	Where?
7210	Where?
7210	Which way was she headed when you last had information?
7210	Who could he be?
7210	Who goes with whom?
7210	Who''s in charge? 7210 Who, Cora?
7210	Who?
7210	Why are you so anxious to go there?
7210	Why do n''t you boys do some fishing?
7210	Why not? 7210 Why not?"
7210	Why so, Wally?
7210	Why us in particular?
7210	Why was that?
7210	Why, are n''t we going to take all our baggage?
7210	Why, do you know anything about her?
7210	Why, if I may ask?
7210	Why?
7210	Will it be heavy?
7210	Will you come to our motor boat?
7210	Will you need to see Jack again?
7210	Will you take command?
7210	With Senor Robinson, and with the Senoras Kimball and Robinson?
7210	Wo n''t they get away from us?
7210	Wo n''t you come and have something cool to drink? 7210 Would Inez go, as a maid?"
7210	Would you mind getting me a little of that nerve stuff the doctor put up for me? 7210 Would you mind?"
7210	Yes, was n''t he, Bess? 7210 Yes-- what is it?"
7210	You lookin''for shipwrecked parties, ai n''t you?
7210	You mean it may be too late?
7210	Zey can hardly keep me from seeing him, can zey?
7210	And I wonder what she meant by speaking of her father and Sea Horse Island in the way she did?"
7210	And where were the papers?"
7210	And you have your papers, Inez?"
7210	Are n''t you just wild to go?"
7210	Are there any passengers aboard?"
7210	Are you coming?"
7210	Are you from the Ramona?"
7210	As the two girls settled themselves in the seat, Bess resumed:"I came over to ask if you could n''t go with us, Cora?
7210	Blake?"
7210	But I was just wondering why we could n''t take her with us?"
7210	But I weary you-- yes?"
7210	But how am I to go to Sea Horse Island, when I have not even money to buy me food to keep from starving?
7210	But suppose they could n''t make their way-- if they were hurt, or something like that?"
7210	But this complicates matters does n''t it?
7210	But what sort of a craft can we get to cruise in?"
7210	But whose is it?
7210	But why are you interested in finding her, if I may ask?"
7210	But you''ll have to have help along, if she''s as big as all that, wo n''t you?"
7210	But, I say, Cora, what''s this about some new girl?
7210	CHAPTER VIII THE DREAM OF INEZ"Oh, Walter, are you really going?"
7210	CHAPTER X THE BLUE WATERS"What is the matter, my dear girl?"
7210	CHAPTER XV A SEARCH PROPOSED"Cora, what''s the matter?
7210	CHAPTER XVII OFF IN THE"TARTAR""What''s the matter?"
7210	CHAPTER XXVI THE PURSUIT"What is it?"
7210	Ca n''t you come on a winter''s cruise to where there is no snow or ice, and where the waters are blue-- so blue?"
7210	Can you take us to this island?"
7210	Croix?"
7210	Did anything else happen?"
7210	Did n''t you rest well?"
7210	Did she have some news for them?
7210	Did the Ramona''s crew repent, and send you for us?
7210	Did you save some one?"
7210	Did your steamer hear of that vessel, Senor Ramo?"
7210	Do you think that man saw you?"
7210	Do you wish to meet him?"
7210	Fill the Tartar up with trunks full of fancy dresses, when we''ll need every inch of room?
7210	Has a pretty arrival struck town?
7210	Has some one stolen your car, or have you discovered a new kind of chocolate candy?
7210	Has this man--?"
7210	Have n''t you been asleep yet?"
7210	Have you any idea where she is now?"
7210	Have you heard any news?
7210	He has nice eyes, has n''t he?"
7210	He was rather a disheveled figure as he stood there-- in fact, none of the refugees appeared to sartorial advantage-- but who minded that?
7210	How about that, Joe?"
7210	How are you, Jack?"
7210	How are you, Jack?"
7210	How are you, anyhow?"
7210	How can you?"
7210	How do you do it?"
7210	I ask you-- how can I?
7210	I can speak the language-- habe Espanola?
7210	I suppose you''ll be at home this evening, Jack, old chap?"
7210	I wonder how she found time to run over?"
7210	I wonder if they can navigate it?"
7210	I wonder what sort of a boat we could get down there, Wally?
7210	Is he some brigand who wants to carry us off?"
7210	Is n''t that your opinion, Cora?"
7210	Is the telegram from jack himself?"
7210	Kimball?"
7210	Kimball?"
7210	Kitts?"
7210	Kitts?"
7210	Knock wood?"
7210	May I ask how he got away from your prison?"
7210	May I use your boat?"
7210	Mr. Robinson did n''t take those papers with him; did he-- those papers that contain the evidence?"
7210	Not bad, is it?"
7210	Now are you sure you''ll be all right?"
7210	Now--?"
7210	Oh, Cora, did you bring any safety- pins?
7210	Oh, I wonder if we shall ever find them?"
7210	Oh, Inez Ralcanto?
7210	Oh, Senorita you will help me-- will you not-- to go to Sea Horse Island and rescue him?"
7210	Oh, Senorita, what shall I do?"
7210	Oh, but where is he?"
7210	Robinson?"
7210	Say, better not let Jack know about this, or he''ll be on the job, too, and what he needs just now is a rest-- eh, Harry?"
7210	Shall I heave to?"
7210	She is n''t quite so sure as she was; are you?"
7210	So you''ve come for the Robinson Crusoes; have you?"
7210	Something the matter?"
7210	The boatman, with a shrug of his shoulders, as much as to ask,"How can one quarrel with a woman?"
7210	Then where are they?
7210	Then you''d like to go?"
7210	Wally, have you a revolver with you?"
7210	Was n''t that nice?"
7210	We''ll have a try at him, anyhow; eh, Jack?"
7210	What do you mean?"
7210	What is it?
7210	What shall I need to take in the way of clothes?"
7210	What was I telling you about?"
7210	What''ll I do?
7210	What''s that?
7210	What''s the matter?"
7210	Where are they?"
7210	Where could the passengers be?
7210	Where did he get the cap?"
7210	Where''s Inez?"
7210	Which brings us back to Inez-- what about her, Cora?"
7210	Which way was she headed when you were forced to leave her?
7210	Who''s with me for a cruise in the Tartar?"
7210	Why did n''t you come for a spin?
7210	Why do n''t we go up to the dock in regular style, and not stop away out here?"
7210	Why do you always select that particular chair, of all others?"
7210	Will you come with us, Mrs. Kimball-- Cora?
7210	Will you-- do you mind coming with me?"
7210	You say Walter is down there, Belle?"
7210	Ze papairs-- in my valise-- Oh, where is it?
7210	asked Walter,"or shall you come back to San Juan from time to time?
7210	cried Cora, and in such a voice that Jack, who was just coming along with Walter, hurried up, inquiring:"What is it?
7210	he asked,"and to Senora-- er-- Robinson, and your father?"
7210	what is it?"
7210	whistled Walter,"that''s going some, is n''t it?"
7081	A girl?
7081	A queer camp, is n''t it?
7081	About Laurel?
7081	All of them?
7081	An enemy?
7081	And Jack,Cora went on,"since you have been so good, do n''t you think it would be lovely for you to sort of keep track of Mabel for a day or two?
7081	And did Jim get angry at that?
7081	And did the man take her prize?
7081	And he lived on Fern Island all this while?
7081	And he saw how ill you were?
7081	And he''s young, you say?
7081	And is he a stranger to you?
7081	And is he not going in the races?
7081	And not a little on her brother Paul?
7081	And she may come to see me?
7081	And the queer part of it was, how did he know we were on the island?
7081	And then?
7081	And we ca n''t go to Laurel?
7081	And yet,interrupted Mr. Starr,"see how the influence of a mere girl turned him to right?
7081	And you have been out all night? 7081 And you not jealous?
7081	And you really remember?
7081	And you will be all right? 7081 Are there no means of getting away from here?"
7081	Are we going in my own boat?
7081	Ben, do n''t you want one of us to run her?
7081	Ben,she said,"where is that shanty you told me about-- Jim Peter''s place?"
7081	Blake? 7081 Boys in a canoe?"
7081	Brentano?
7081	Busy, eh?
7081	But did n''t you ask me to? 7081 But honestly, Cora, what was the man like?
7081	But honestly, did you see that man give her the telegram? 7081 But how could her boat get there?"
7081	But how do we know?
7081	But how will they find his assailant?
7081	But if she does,faltered Belle,"do you suppose she will go to the stand dressed like that to receive the prize?"
7081	But let me ask you, did you overhear anything about a girl named Miss Blake? 7081 But may I not have the pleasure of your name?"
7081	But say, did you know that the wild girl in the canoe is deaf and dumb?
7081	But that young feller who lives with him? 7081 But the boy?"
7081	But the shack? 7081 But what I would like to get at,"began Ed, not being able to dismiss the subject,"is who stole our boat?"
7081	But what do you know about running it?
7081	But what was a can of paint?
7081	But what was the trouble between Jim and Ben?
7081	But when do you get your medal, Cora?
7081	But when shall we start, and what do we start? 7081 But where are we going?"
7081	But where in the world can Cora be?
7081	But why did n''t you come up when you knew the boat had arrived?
7081	But why did you go back to the island?
7081	But you have not heard of any accident?
7081	But, Mrs. Peters, can you tell me when your husband will be about here? 7081 Ca n''t I take care of myself in broad daylight?"
7081	Ca n''t that go? 7081 Ca n''t we go for the papers?
7081	Ca n''t we take the boat to look for Laurel?
7081	Can we help you?
7081	Can you direct me to it?
7081	Can you get in here?
7081	Can you prove it? 7081 Can you talk with your fingers?"
7081	Certainly, it''s a dandy canoe,said Jack,"And you really mean that it is to be ours?"
7081	Cora, are you never afraid to risk such things?
7081	Cora, please let me? 7081 Cora,"whispered Bess,"was your ring in that purse?"
7081	Could I not fetch it? 7081 Could I see it?"
7081	Could n''t we put them some place to grow up?
7081	Could n''t we see your picture?
7081	Could n''t we shout?
7081	Did anything happen, Cora, while we were away?
7081	Did he come to the hunt?
7081	Did he take it?
7081	Did he?
7081	Did n''t I tell you?
7081	Did n''t go off?
7081	Did n''t you beard the lion in his den?
7081	Did they admit it?
7081	Did you ever see such a black night?
7081	Did you notice?
7081	Did you sleep any, Jack dear?
7081	Do n''t they match?
7081	Do n''t you know better than that?
7081	Do n''t you like to hear your own voice?
7081	Do n''t you want me to look the engine over, Cora?
7081	Do you feel the draft from that window, Cora?
7081	Do you know my friends?
7081	Do you never go away from here?
7081	Do you really feel able to talk?
7081	Do you suppose he might have taken the canoe? 7081 Do you suppose he really would steal a boat?"
7081	Do you think Hazel will like me in baby blue?
7081	Do you think I''ve got all night to bother with you?
7081	Do you think he is strong enough to be moved?
7081	Do you think that man stole their canoe?
7081	Do you think we are teething?
7081	Does Brentano know you?
7081	Does he supply you with your things out here?
7081	Does n''t the Petrel motor beautifully?
7081	Does that mean he could copy a signature?
7081	Dynamite?
7081	Friend? 7081 Funny?"
7081	Goes on?
7081	Good- bye, miss, but say,and she half whispered,"is that girl dumb?"
7081	Got company?
7081	Has it really?
7081	Has n''t Laurel come yet?
7081	Have n''t you any idea who took it?
7081	Have you a motor boat? 7081 Have you seen anything of some boys in a canoe?"
7081	Have, eh? 7081 He did not send you?"
7081	He often rides by here, does n''t he Paul?
7081	Help?
7081	How about Bess and Belle?
7081	How could we get to his place? 7081 How did you know that I had named her Russet?"
7081	How did you live?
7081	How do we get them out?
7081	How do you steer?
7081	How is the old gentleman?
7081	How many have you, Cora?
7081	How much?
7081	How was it that you ran away?
7081	How was that?
7081	How''d you know about them, Jim?
7081	How''s that?
7081	How''s the tide?
7081	However did she get in?
7081	I guess ours is all right; is n''t it?
7081	I say, do you think the hermit, as you call him, would be well enough to testify in court about this case?
7081	I say, girls, do you happen to know her?
7081	I say,began Ed,"where do we, go to look for the wild Olive or was it the mountain Laurel?
7081	I should always feel that we were going to be--"Whirlpooled?
7081	I suppose there is absolutely no way of getting a boat?
7081	I thought you were going to spend the afternoon with us girls?
7081	I thought your judge lived on the East side?
7081	I wonder how far this cove goes in?
7081	I wonder if he might have a canoe to sell?
7081	I wonder what is wrong?
7081	I wonder what they are up to?
7081	I wonder what your mother will next bestow upon you?
7081	If I could, what then?
7081	If that man, Brentano, you call him, chased Peters into the boat did he get in with him?
7081	If they were ashore would n''t their boat be about?
7081	In the woods? 7081 Is Laurel up?"
7081	Is Mr. Breslin around here?
7081	Is Peters much hurt?
7081	Is he badly hurt?
7081	Is n''t it good to have friends, father?
7081	Is n''t it lovely to have such splendid brothers?
7081	Is n''t it too good to be true?
7081	Is n''t she a beauty?
7081	Is n''t that a light?
7081	Is that forward switch in?
7081	Is-- er-- Miss Cora Kimball here?
7081	It blew across to where Dan was standing, and what was more natural than that Dan should pick it up?
7081	Jim Peters; do n''t you know him?
7081	Joy riding?
7081	Laurel?
7081	Let me see if you can sit up?
7081	Let''s have the light Jack?
7081	Make more love to her? 7081 Name it?
7081	No worry about damaging myself?
7081	No, what?
7081	Now suppose you girls just sit on this plank while you wait? 7081 Of what?
7081	Oh, did he?
7081	Oh, say,spoke Ben as if the thought had just occurred to him,"where did you say them young fellers went?
7081	Oh, what can it be?
7081	Oh, you will, eh?
7081	Oh,breathed Bess, as Cora and Laurel entered the pretty, bright, little sitting room,"is it possible that our troubles are over for one night?"
7081	On still water?
7081	Or who is it?
7081	Perfectly,replied Cora,"but how you tremble?
7081	Powerful man,answered Jack,"but how is it, Cora, that you talked with him and he did not hoodoo you?"
7081	Say, Ed,put in Walter,"what do you say if we buy a houseboat?
7081	See that track of foam over yonder? 7081 Sensible as you are?"
7081	Sent it?
7081	Shall I speed her?
7081	Shall I try to find the hut and get you some food?
7081	Shall we go to your little pine cave?
7081	Shall we wait for the rest, Laurel?
7081	Suppose they wo n''t take a fine, and want to lock us up?
7081	Suppose we change?
7081	Suppose we get Cora to look over our boat? 7081 Tell me, Jack,"she asked,"what happened the night you followed Mabel out of the pavilion-- the night that man gave her the false message?"
7081	That Jones?
7081	That is always the mighty question for right; what is best to do now?
7081	That''s the hole in the hill, is n''t it?
7081	The Whirlpool, I guess,replied Cora,"that would go nicely with my Whirlwind, do n''t you think?"
7081	The canoe-- the Gerkin?
7081	The child''s father sent a message up here to ask when he might see you?
7081	The hermit?
7081	The worst?
7081	Then perhaps we had better not land?
7081	Then suppose we take you in? 7081 Then what would we do?"
7081	There,said Ben,"did n''t I tell you?"
7081	They sold us on this first trip, why should we give them anything?
7081	This is the Roman empire I believe, Bess; is it not?
7081	Villain? 7081 Was it the letter?"
7081	Was n''t it luck you happened up this way to- night?
7081	Was n''t that the police boat?
7081	Well, what do you want?
7081	Well, what of it?
7081	Were you drawing as we came up?
7081	What about Bess, Ed?
7081	What are they after?
7081	What are you going to call her?
7081	What boat is that?
7081	What case?
7081	What could that man have intended doing? 7081 What did he say?"
7081	What disgrace?
7081	What do you make of it?
7081	What do you suppose he was hiding for?
7081	What do you think of that?
7081	What does Breslin know?
7081	What fellows?
7081	What good can that do now?
7081	What happened?
7081	What happened?
7081	What has happened?
7081	What has shocked you so?
7081	What is going on?
7081	What is it, Kate?
7081	What is it?
7081	What is there to risk? 7081 What is this?"
7081	What philosopher?
7081	What shall I do?
7081	What shall it be? 7081 What time do they start?"
7081	What was the matter with the steamer folks?
7081	What''s going on over there?
7081	What''s going on?
7081	What''s that over there?
7081	What''s that?
7081	What''s the matter with them?
7081	What''s the matter, Cora?
7081	What''s the rest?
7081	What''s this?
7081	What''s up?
7081	What''s worrying you, sis?
7081	What, sis?
7081	What?
7081	When was it in?
7081	Where does he go?
7081	Where does this man live?
7081	Where have you been?
7081	Where in the world could it come from?
7081	Where is that?
7081	Where to?
7081	Where was he hurt?
7081	Where was it?
7081	Where''re you goin''now?
7081	Where''s that rabbit?
7081	Where''s your light?
7081	Where? 7081 Where?"
7081	Which way are you going?
7081	Which way are you going?
7081	Which way shall we go--?
7081	Which?
7081	Who be you, anyhow, a lawyer? 7081 Who could have sent Jones such a message?"
7081	Who is he?
7081	Who is that dark man over there?
7081	Who is that dark man?
7081	Who is the stranger?
7081	Who said I did?
7081	Who tried to do you?
7081	Who''s Tony?
7081	Who?
7081	Who?
7081	Why could n''t you, and she come home in her canoe when you found your boat gone, Cora?
7081	Why did he do that?
7081	Why did n''t you take it when you saw it?
7081	Why does he hold such power over you?
7081	Why have they gone out without telling me, when they knew I wanted to use my boat?
7081	Why not?
7081	Why, how are you, Mabel?
7081	Why, what is it, Mabel?
7081	Why, who might Mr. Peters be?
7081	Why?
7081	Will you tell your father at once, Laurel?
7081	Yes, and it''s right becoming,agreed Ed,"but where did she get the sun- burn?"
7081	Yes, my brother and two of his friends went out toward Far Island--"Fern Island?
7081	Yes, what is it?
7081	Yes? 7081 You could scarcely name your charge against him?"
7081	You have heard that he is gone?
7081	You mean if any one came for us they would know we were not alone here?
7081	You mean-- Peters and Tony?
7081	''Did you ever study philosophy?
7081	A ghost?"
7081	Ai n''t that him?
7081	All the way as they sailed the philosopher would say:''Did you ever study astronomy?''
7081	And did n''t we carry you off?"
7081	And is n''t it lovely that you have arrived in time to take the initial run?
7081	And is n''t she a beaut in that bag?"
7081	And so on he went, Belle dear,"continued Ed,"until suddenly the boatman interrupted him with:''Say, did you ever study swimming?''
7081	And what if those men should take them?"
7081	And what was the answer?"
7081	Are they not stones?
7081	Ask the nurse, please--?"
7081	Bess was fairly quaking as Cora could see, but what danger could there be in insisting upon finding that shack?
7081	Bess, can I trust you now to take my place while I look at that wheel?
7081	But I say, girl, where''s your new friend?"
7081	But I tell you, Mr.--?"
7081	But Jim Peters?"
7081	But do we dine in these?"
7081	But does n''t Laurel take to him?
7081	But how can a man leave the woods when he has been in them for ten years?"
7081	But how can we go?"
7081	But how was business to- day?
7081	But how would anyone hire it out here?
7081	But how?"
7081	But just now he''s got one boat to do?"
7081	But say boys, what do you think was the trouble at the wharf?
7081	But what saved us?"
7081	CHAPTER III WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BOYS"What can have happened to the boys?"
7081	CHAPTER IX JACK AND CORA"Cora, where is your ring?"
7081	CHAPTER XX LAUREL''S FLIGHT"What is it?
7081	Ca n''t you find Tony for us?"
7081	Can he testify?"
7081	Can you take us on?"
7081	Cedar Lake is the field; eh, Paul?"
7081	Cora''s voice came,"how can you so shock our English?"
7081	Could you walk ever so little a distance?
7081	Diamonds or pearls?"
7081	Did he want to sink the boat?"
7081	Did n''t he almost put Jim over the rail?"
7081	Did n''t we go after you?
7081	Did n''t you hear a strange noise on the island?
7081	Did n''t you hear some one?"
7081	Did n''t you hear those dry leaves rustle?"
7081	Did n''t you say to watch Mabel that time you whispered as I was leaving?
7081	Did the other girls see him?"
7081	Did they?"
7081	Did you ever see them cast one of those thirty feet ones?"
7081	Did you hear the latest?"
7081	Did you know Jim Peters?"
7081	Did you not know his name?"
7081	Do n''t you remember?"
7081	Do n''t you want to try it?"''
7081	Do n''t you, Hazel?"
7081	Do you feel as if a sister would have made your life more complete?"
7081	Do you imagine that anyone very nice would chum in with Jim Peters?
7081	Do you know he is a handwriting expert?"
7081	Do you suppose he has it for hire?"
7081	Do you suppose that is on Jim''s boat?"
7081	Do you suppose they are in that parade?"
7081	Do you think he is at the shanty now?"
7081	Do you want to steer, Bess?"
7081	Does he kiss you very often?"
7081	Does she know where he is?"
7081	Eh, what?"
7081	Have you ever been there?"
7081	Have you heard?"
7081	He called back through the darkness"Got any oil or gas?"
7081	He got ugly, however, and it was his own fault?"
7081	Here?
7081	How about that?"
7081	How could Jack have guessed so near the facts?
7081	How could he be a Jones?
7081	How did you get up from the train?
7081	How do I know but you may be some one seeking to get evidence for a civil suit for Peters or Tony, and will drag us in as witnesses?"
7081	How''d you make out?"
7081	Hush, here she comes?"
7081	I am going to tell him?
7081	I am sure it was,""Yes, is n''t she a beauty?
7081	I suppose you have no police around the island?"
7081	I wonder what Mr. Jones is like?"
7081	I wonder what he wants now?"
7081	I wonder who or what she can be?"
7081	I wonder who the fellow is?"
7081	I wonder why?"
7081	If that was n''t him on the island who scared the girls, who was it?
7081	Is he worse hurt than they thought, Ben?"
7081	Is n''t he a peach?"
7081	Is n''t he handsome?"
7081	Is n''t it great?"
7081	Is n''t she that?"
7081	Is n''t there something in your book about birds of the same quills?"
7081	Is that Laurel talking to him?"
7081	Jones?"
7081	Jones?"
7081	Just think of beef tea- broth-- can''t you smell it?"
7081	Laurel dear, is there not water to fetch?"
7081	Laurel, we have no trunks to pack,"he said, half grimly,"have we?"
7081	Like the philosopher and the ferryman, do n''t you know?"
7081	My, is n''t it fine to be rescued from a desert island by three pretty girls?"
7081	Nettie has heard all about our victories; have n''t you Nettie?"
7081	No one will come for you?"
7081	No?
7081	Now what would he be doing with a letter out on a barren island?"
7081	Now, what do you want?"
7081	Of course the law says he must, but who''s goin''to back up the law?"
7081	On these shores?"
7081	Or did you come by boat?"
7081	Or was it the letter Jack gave her?
7081	Peters?"
7081	She found an opportunity to whisper to her brother:"What about Miss Blake?"
7081	She meant no wrong, but who was to guide me?
7081	Should I go?"
7081	Should she call the girls?
7081	Suppose she takes me up?"
7081	Suppose you allow Bess and me or Hazel or any two of us to go up to the hut first?
7081	Tell me what I can do for you?"
7081	The ones who started out in a canoe?"
7081	The question now is, what could have detained them?"
7081	The rope may have slipped?"
7081	Then Belle asked:"Are n''t we going canoeing?"
7081	There, are you fast?"
7081	They was in a green canoe; was n''t they?"
7081	This is where the boy''s boat was stolen from; is n''t it?"
7081	Those fellows had the gasoline doped?"
7081	To my motor boat?"
7081	To the shack?"
7081	Walter, can you care for Miss Laurel?"
7081	Was n''t it the boat with the new light oak deck and mahogany gunwale?
7081	Was she pretty?"
7081	We think-- shall we give it away boys?"
7081	Were you along?"
7081	What are they saying about Peters?
7081	What could she do?
7081	What did he mean?
7081	What did you think of her remark about Fern Island?
7081	What do you say if we all start out in a searching party?
7081	What ever happened to you?"
7081	What ever is the matter, Bess?"
7081	What is it now?"
7081	What is it?
7081	What is it?"
7081	What might it not contain?
7081	What should she do?
7081	What was that sound?
7081	What''s up?"
7081	When did Hazel say she would come?"
7081	Where can she have disappeared to?"
7081	Where did you get the-- ocean liner, Cora?"
7081	Where do you suppose the boys could have gone?"
7081	Where does he live?"
7081	Where ever did he get a letter on this barren island?"
7081	Where is it?
7081	Where is it?
7081	Where might I find a train or a boat?"
7081	Which do you think, Jack?"
7081	Who was it?"
7081	Who will I say?"
7081	Who would have dreamed that such handsome craft were on the waters of Cedar Lake?
7081	Who''s calling?
7081	Why did he not say more?
7081	Why did she fear and yet long to know what that man had to tell her?
7081	Why do they croak in the daytime?"
7081	Why not from shore?"
7081	Why should a young girl not fear us?
7081	Why should he stare over this way so?"
7081	Why should n''t you go or come as you want to?"
7081	Why should she not denounce us?
7081	Why?"
7081	Would n''t that be nice?"
7081	Would n''t you think those men could have guessed that?"
7081	Would they be run down on this, their very first attempt at navigation?
7081	You do n''t mean it?"
7081	You know what it is, do n''t you?"
7081	You will be all right with them, wo n''t you, dear?"
7081	and Cora, is she all right?"
7081	exclaimed Walter,"is this another boat trying the same trick?"
7081	he called"Sleepin--?"
7081	should I leave him?"
7081	you ai n''t goin''there?"
