38968Who told you thet?
38968Who was her captain, do you know?
38968Why not make it two hundred while you are at it?
38968Why not try Mr. Jennings, over at Lodgeport? 38968 Why, do you think they''d try to-- to harm us?"
38968Will the vessel be saved?
38968Will you come to the office and make some sort of a complaint?
38968Will you sail for home at once?
38968Will you tell me about Andy?
38968Wo n''t there be any sun at all during that time?
38968Wonder what about a jack- knife? 38968 Wonder what is burning?"
38968Wot makes you so anxious to git the papers?
38968Wot you a- doin''here?
38968Wot you takin''thet fer?
38968Would n''t you think the Esquimaux would die in that kind of rot?
38968Would you-- er-- would you----"Wot?
38968Yes, but you want to come back, do n''t you?
38968Yes? 38968 Yes?"
38968You are certain of that?
38968You are sure of that? 38968 You ca n''t get work anywhere?
38968You do n''t remember what he said about the_ Betsey Andrews_?
38968You mean to Canada?
38968You would like to go with me?
38968Your ship? 38968 And Andy looked at Chet, as much as to say,Shall I go ahead?"
38968And if so, how much had Uncle Si been able to tell the real estate dealer?
38968And your mother?"
38968Are you equipping a ship?"
38968Are you going to try to dictate to me?"
38968Are you, may I ask, fitting out this ship yourself?"
38968Arrested?"
38968At any moment the foxes might make a concerted attack, and what could three persons do against ninety or more of such beasts?
38968Be you workin''now?"
38968Beats the Dutch, does n''t it?"
38968But I ca n''t do nuthin with my feet an''my stomach goin''back on me, can I?"
38968But just now, the main question was, Could they reach the Jeffer place?
38968But-- er-- one thing more, Mr. Hopton----""What is that?"
38968CHAPTER I ANDY AND HIS UNCLE"What be you a- goin''to do today, Andy?"
38968CHAPTER V THE MAN ON THE LEDGE"Is he dead?"
38968Can we bring him in?"
38968Chet, will you stop?"
38968Dawson?"
38968Did n''t I take an extra hole in my belt last night after supper?
38968Do you know a man named Hopton?"
38968Do you live near?"
38968Give me a lift, will you?"
38968Had the two gone on a hunt for the papers, and, if so, had they found the documents?
38968Had they really and truly reached the North Pole at last?
38968Has thet lawyer got them papers now?"
38968Have you got any land?"
38968Help me up, will you?"
38968Hopton?"
38968Hopton?"
38968How are those for wild turkeys?"
38968How are you?"
38968How is he?"
38968How much money can you get for those papers?
38968How much money have you got?"
38968I hope you do n''t mean to knock him down?"
38968Is my father among the men?"
38968Maybe you had an offer o''work here?"
38968Now, what do you suppose I had best do?"
38968Say, this is a dandy haul, is n''t it?"
38968The one thought of each member of the party was,"Are we at the Pole, or how much further have we to go?"
38968They did not want to worry Barwell Dawson, and what would have been the use?
38968This showed him to be within a few miles of the Pole, and if he went wild with joy, who can blame him?
38968Thought I''d like to go on that ocean trip, but I suppose sailoring is harder than lumbering, is n''t it?
38968Was it any wonder that he was disheartened?
38968Was it possible that Mr. A. Q. Hopton had called at the cabin during his absence and interviewed Uncle Si?
38968Was it possible that his uncle had found the timber claim papers, and was going to let Mr. A. Q. Hopton have them for three hundred dollars?
38968Was it valuable, and did it really belong to his father''s estate?
38968Were you thinking of your father?"
38968What brought you, hunting?"
38968What did he want?"
38968What did this A. Q. Hopton know about the lumber tract in Michigan?
38968What do you know of her?"
38968What do you say?"
38968What port was she bound for?"
38968What shall I do?"
38968What''s this?"
38968Whe-- where is Loggermore?"
38968When?"
38968Where are you?"
38968Where are you?"
38968Where do you suppose we ought to take him?"
38968Where?"
38968Who are you?"
38968Who is he?"
38968Why did n''t you stay around Pine Run?"
38968Why do n''t the sun shine?"
38968Will you come to Pine Run at once?
38968Wilson?"
38968Wot is it?"
38968Wot''s thet to you, I''d like to know?"
38968Would he ever see his father again, and would his parent be able to clear himself of the accusations brought against him?
38968Would it be wise to drop down in the snow and make a dash for liberty?
38968Would they ever see Maine again?
38968Would they succeed, or would all their struggles go for naught?
38968You do n''t want me to buy the papers from him, do you?"
38968You say he is shiftless and lazy?"
38968You see, I reasoned out that if nitrogen could be dissolved by means of----""Where can I place the gentleman?"
38968You''re his guardian, are n''t you?"
38968so you have been to a lawyer, eh?
38968then you will agree that I shall go?"
38968was she lost at sea?
