“It ain’t a spook, ’cos the Indians wouldn’t have been able to have seen it.”
“No, but what is it?” asked Girty.
“Now you’ve got me,” said Kendrick, with a dubious shake of the head.
“Man or devil, if he ever comes within range of my rifle I’ll wager that I’ll drill a hole through him,” said Girty, decidedly.
