We are right down sorry for you, but we--well, hang it, we don't want the small-pox, you see.

Look here, I'll tell you what to do.

Don't you try to land by yourself, or you'll smash everything to pieces.

You float along down about twenty miles, and you'll come to a town on the left-hand side of the river.

It will be long after sun-up then, and when you ask for help you tell them your folks are all down with chills and fever.
