Having in due course taken up my new quarters, which consisted as heretofore of a comfortable bark-roofed hut situated as usual 174 Ch. XIII] FACING IT 175 upon a creek, made the acquaintance of the three new boys, and learned the names of the small mob of horses, I despatched a message to the agent who had completed the sale of my bit of land. Weeks passed with- out my getting any answer to the enquiry, and I was thinking of applying for leave of absence to prosecute the search myself, when on...e day a "boy" came up and saluted with a diabolical grin upon his face. Upon being asked somewhat sternly "What name?" meaning, "What do you want?" he said that a "white Mary, " i. E. , white woman, was hunting the camp for me, that she appeared " cabon saucy, " and that she carried a "pretty feller piccaninny" in her arms. To say the least, this statement sounded rather alarming, but in the circumstances I judged it would be best to let all hands hear whatever story or complaint the woman had to make.
