This said, they all went over the side, the Admiral taking great care of Miss Acton as she crossed the planks. Mr Lawrence remained in the gangway. When on the wharf his father called to him. "Fine; keepin' up as well as though you saw right where you're goin'. They're only a little ahead now.".

'Do you come from Africa?' says she, 'or have you broke loose from a travelling wild beast show?'" "I didn't play no trick on you," Billy repeated. As Billy rounded a curve in the road he met the cattle. Anson was driving them. "You needn't mind turnin' back, Bill," he said. "I don't mind waterin' 'em fer you.".
