. American boys in the Arctics; a trip to the far north by a new path. Were gaining on her! Geeup ! This lash seems to speak first-class Russian, and I reckon thehandle understands English, for it translates what Im after. Gee up! For mercys sake, groaned Roy, as they splashed through a lot ofwater and banged over a wooden bridge, youll smash everything topieces, Scott. I reckon I may, Captain, Scott replied. To tell the truth — geeup, there ! — Im not just sure of the hull of this craft, nor of the tackleeither — gee up! — and the rigging is the doubtfullest stuff I ever up! But I —whew!

Is there any water in the hold ?Seems though we must have sprung aleak that time. Gee up ! gee up!gee up! Jehu ! Theyve struck a new tack and bust my best cable, buttheyre gaining ! Gee up ! ON TO BALAKLAVA! 187 How are they now? Roy asked a moment later. Cant just say; theyre round a curve. Gee up! I believe thesethings are getting used to the whip, or else the winds giving up! Never mind, well be going down hill again in a minute.
