What's the percentage--workin' on shares, eh!" I answer that I am only curious, which I feel lessens his opinion of me, and with a sadder feeling than his assurance of George's safety might warrant, I walked away.
From others whom we picked up from time to time we heard of George's self-sacrificing devotion, with the praises of the many he had helped and rescued.

But I did not feel disposed to return until I had seen him, and soon prepared myself to take a boat to the lower VALDA of the foothills, and visit Altascar.

I soon perfected my arrangements, bade farewell to Wise, and took a last look at the old man, who was sitting by the furnace fires quite passive and composed.

Then our boat head swung round, pulled by sturdy and willing hands.
It was again raining, and a disagreeable wind had risen.

Our course lay nearly west, and we soon knew by the strong current that we were in the creek of the Espiritu Santo.
