I
took
a
good
gap
and
a
stretch
,
and
was
just
going
to
unhitch
and
start
when
I
heard
a
sound
away
over
the
water
.
I
listened
.
Pretty
soon
I
made
it
out
.
It
was
that
dull
kind
of
a
regular
sound
that
comes
from
oars
working
in
rowlocks
when
it
's
a
still
night
.
I
peeped
out
through
the
willow
branches
,
and
there
it
was
--
a
skiff
,
away
across
the
water
.
I
could
n't
tell
how
many
was
in
it
.
It
kept
a-coming
,
and
when
it
was
abreast
of
me
I
see
there
war
n't
but
one
man
in
it
.
Think
's
I
,
maybe
it
's
pap
,
though
I
war
n't
expecting
him
.
He
dropped
below
me
with
the
current
,
and
by
and
by
he
came
a-swinging
up
shore
in
the
easy
water
,
and
he
went
by
so
close
I
could
a
reached
out
the
gun
and
touched
him
.
Well
,
it
WAS
pap
,
sure
enough
--
and
sober
,
too
,
by
the
way
he
laid
his
oars
.
192
I
did
n't
lose
no
time
.
The
next
minute
I
was
a-spinning
down
stream
soft
but
quick
in
the
shade
of
the
bank
.
I
made
two
mile
and
a
half
,
and
then
struck
out
a
quarter
of
a
mile
or
more
towards
the
middle
of
the
river
,
because
pretty
soon
I
would
be
passing
the
ferry
landing
,
and
people
might
see
me
and
hail
me
.
I
got
out
amongst
the
driftwood
,
and
then
laid
down
in
the
bottom
of
the
canoe
and
let
her
float
.
I
laid
there
,
and
had
a
good
rest
and
a
smoke
out
of
my
pipe
,
looking
away
into
the
sky
;
not
a
cloud
in
it
.
The
sky
looks
ever
so
deep
when
you
lay
down
on
your
back
in
the
moonshine
;
I
never
knowed
it
before
.
And
how
far
a
body
can
hear
on
the
water
such
nights
!
I
heard
people
talking
at
the
ferry
landing
.
I
heard
what
they
said
,
too
--
every
word
of
it
.
One
man
said
it
was
getting
towards
the
long
days
and
the
short
nights
now
.
T'other
one
said
THIS
war
n't
one
of
the
short
ones
,
he
reckoned
--
and
then
they
laughed
,
and
he
said
it
over
again
,
and
they
laughed
again
;
then
they
waked
up
another
fellow
and
told
him
,
and
laughed
,
but
he
did
n't
laugh
;
he
ripped
out
something
brisk
,
and
said
let
him
alone
.
The
first
fellow
said
he
'
lowed
to
tell
it
to
his
old
woman
--
she
would
think
it
was
pretty
good
;
but
he
said
that
war
n't
nothing
to
some
things
he
had
said
in
his
time
.
I
heard
one
man
say
it
was
nearly
three
o'clock
,
and
he
hoped
daylight
would
n't
wait
more
than
about
a
week
longer
.
After
that
the
talk
got
further
and
further
away
,
and
I
could
n't
make
out
the
words
any
more
;
but
I
could
hear
the
mumble
,
and
now
and
then
a
laugh
,
too
,
but
it
seemed
a
long
ways
off
.
193
I
was
away
below
the
ferry
now
.
I
rose
up
,
and
there
was
Jackson
's
Island
,
about
two
mile
and
a
half
down
stream
,
heavy
timbered
and
standing
up
out
of
the
middle
of
the
river
,
big
and
dark
and
solid
,
like
a
steamboat
without
any
lights
.
There
war
n't
any
signs
of
the
bar
at
the
head
--
it
was
all
under
water
now
.

It
did
n't
take
me
long
to
get
there
.
I
shot
past
the
head
at
a
ripping
rate
,
the
current
was
so
swift
,
and
then
I
got
into
the
dead
water
and
landed
on
the
side
towards
the
Illinois
shore
.
I
run
the
canoe
into
a
deep
dent
in
the
bank
that
I
knowed
about
;
I
had
to
part
the
willow
branches
to
get
in
;
and
when
I
made
fast
nobody
could
a
seen
the
canoe
from
the
outside
.
195
I
went
up
and
set
down
on
a
log
at
the
head
of
the
island
,
and
looked
out
on
the
big
river
and
the
black
driftwood
and
away
over
to
the
town
,
three
mile
away
,
where
there
was
three
or
four
lights
twinkling
.
A
monstrous
big
lumber-raft
was
about
a
mile
up
stream
,
coming
along
down
,
with
a
lantern
in
the
middle
of
it
.
I
watched
it
come
creeping
down
,
and
when
it
was
most
abreast
of
where
I
stood
I
heard
a
man
say
,
"
Stern
oars
,
there
!
heave
her
head
to
stabboard
!
"
I
heard
that
just
as
plain
as
if
the
man
was
by
my
side
.
196
There
was
a
little
gray
in
the
sky
now
;
so
I
stepped
into
the
woods
,
and
laid
down
for
a
nap
before
breakfast
.
197
THE
sun
was
up
so
high
when
I
waked
that
I
judged
it
was
after
eight
o'clock
.
I
laid
there
in
the
grass
and
the
cool
shade
thinking
about
things
,
and
feeling
rested
and
ruther
comfortable
and
satisfied
.
I
could
see
the
sun
out
at
one
or
two
holes
,
but
mostly
it
was
big
trees
all
about
,
and
gloomy
in
there
amongst
them
.
There
was
freckled
places
on
the
ground
where
the
light
sifted
down
through
the
leaves
,
and
the
freckled
places
swapped
about
a
little
,
showing
there
was
a
little
breeze
up
there
.
A
couple
of
squirrels
set
on
a
limb
and
jabbered
at
me
very
friendly
.

I
was
powerful
lazy
and
comfortable
--
did
n't
want
to
get
up
and
cook
breakfast
.
Well
,
I
was
dozing
off
again
when
I
thinks
I
hears
a
deep
sound
of
"
boom
!
"
away
up
the
river
.
I
rouses
up
,
and
rests
on
my
elbow
and
listens
;
pretty
soon
I
hears
it
again
.
I
hopped
up
,
and
went
and
looked
out
at
a
hole
in
the
leaves
,
and
I
see
a
bunch
of
smoke
laying
on
the
water
a
long
ways
up
--
about
abreast
the
ferry
.
And
there
was
the
ferryboat
full
of
people
floating
along
down
.
I
knowed
what
was
the
matter
now
.
"
Boom
!
"
I
see
the
white
smoke
squirt
out
of
the
ferryboat
's
side
.
You
see
,
they
was
firing
cannon
over
the
water
,
trying
to
make
my
carcass
come
to
the
top
.
199
I
was
pretty
hungry
,
but
it
war
n't
going
to
do
for
me
to
start
a
fire
,
because
they
might
see
the
smoke
.
So
I
set
there
and
watched
the
cannon-smoke
and
listened
to
the
boom
.
200
The
river
was
a
mile
wide
there
,
and
it
always
looks
pretty
on
a
summer
morning
--
so
I
was
having
a
good
enough
time
seeing
them
hunt
for
my
remainders
if
I
only
had
a
bite
to
eat
.
Well
,
then
I
happened
to
think
how
they
always
put
quicksilver
in
loaves
of
bread
and
float
them
off
,
because
they
always
go
right
to
the
drownded
carcass
and
stop
there
.
So
,
says
I
,
I
'll
keep
a
lookout
,
and
if
any
of
them
's
floating
around
after
me
I
'll
give
them
a
show
.
I
changed
to
the
Illinois
edge
of
the
island
to
see
what
luck
I
could
have
,
and
I
war
n't
disappointed
.
A
big
double
loaf
come
along
,
and
I
most
got
it
with
a
long
stick
,
but
my
foot
slipped
and
she
floated
out
further
.
Of
course
I
was
where
the
current
set
in
the
closest
to
the
shore
--
I
knowed
enough
for
that
.
But
by
and
by
along
comes
another
one
,
and
this
time
I
won
.
I
took
out
the
plug
and
shook
out
the
little
dab
of
quicksilver
,
and
set
my
teeth
in
.
It
was
"
baker
's
bread
"
--
what
the
quality
eat
;
none
of
your
low-down
corn-pone
.
