Chapter XXIV
THE WAY OF THE TRANSGRESSOR. When Bloody Ike reached the top of the basin, where Price was waiting impatiently, and consumed with curiosity, he was out of breath and unable to express his feelings, but he shook his fists, waved his arms, gasped and choked in impotent rage. “Did you get any grub?” asked Price. Ike pulled bread and meat from his pockets. Price fell to and kept his mouth so full that he could not ask questions until Ike had had opportunity to regain his wind.
