Presently he uncovered something white, and as he picked the mud from about it, he saw it was a bone, and pulling hard, he dragged it from the mud—the joint of a man's backbone. Then gladly he flew back with it to the woman.He picked up his paddle and followed in the wake of the other boat. The men were putting out their decoys as Billy passed the point.
