"Captain Acton wishes to see you at eight o'clock this evening. You'll be there?" Captain Weaver reflected. "To-day, sir," he said, "is Toosday. I'll engage to be under way by Saturday." The place which old Harry O'Dule called home was a crumbling log cabin on the shore of Levee Creek, just on the border of the Scroggie bush.
