brick from up the river had just come
in sight around a point above, and
with sails spread to the light wind

1t was not a noise that attracted

by the Spaniard's eyes. Jed went in
to a huff and said: "Oh, 60 to the
devil"
Then he also turned and saw the
head above the wall.
He arose and stood looking at the
Spaniard as intently as the Spaniard
was looking at him. This situation
