That lightnin' knocked all the scare plumb out o' me. I don't like these no-rain sort of thunderstorms though," he added. "They're always slashin' out when they're least expected.","Your father was telling me a few days ago," said Captain Acton, "of a narrow escape of yours, sir.","A pretty name, too."，For many days he went on. He crossed great prairies and followed up timbered rivers, and crossed the mountains. Every day his sack of food grew lighter, but as he went along he looked for berries and roots, and sometimes he killed an animal. These things gave him food.，That night Mr. Hazard and Bob had dinner with Mr. Whitney.
