“Man oberboa’d!” shouted Pomp, seeing the mishap. “Man oberboa’d!”
The coon rushed out on the deck, and when the Ranger passed Barney, he scrambled to his feet.
Running after the ship, he yelled:
“Shtop her! Don’t lave me behoind!”
Frank had to keep her going a few moments, though, for there was a bend around which she was dashing.
The Ranger quickly distanced him.
As he started to rush around the bend after her a huge brown bear darted out from behind an icy projection in front of him.
Before the startled Irishman could stop himself, he struck the beast, fell over it and landed on the ice again.
The bear uttered a savage growl, and turned upon Barney.
Up jumped Barney, very much startled.
