That's all about it." Then Knight let himself go.
"See here, Duff.

Do you want to go on to-night?
If you do, hell and blazes, say the word and I'm with you." His face was white as he spoke.

He seized a tump-line, swung the pack upon his head, and set off across the portage.
"Come on, boys," he yelled.

"We're going through to-night." "Oh, hold up, Knight!" said Duff.

"What the hell's eating you?
We'll grub first anyway." "No," said Knight.
