They surrounded a man who lay on the ground wounded, and bathed in blood, and who it was very evident had uttered the groans heard by the count.,“Go with me this morning?” asked Bob as shortly.,“Smile, Moses, dern yer empty corn-cob face! Smile!” shouted one.,“What?” exclaimed Bob, amazed.，"Right here in my two fists, Maurice."，He smote his thigh hard with the palm of his hand. The noise was like the report[Pg 221] of a pistol. He was wont to strike himself thus in the days of his command when angered, or when he expressed a purpose, which he intended to fulfil though it meant life or death.，So here lay the reason that the swamp-waters never froze even when winter locked all other waters fast in its icy clutch!
