The rabbit skin was very light and warm and soft. Jimmy snuggled down in it,
and half dreamily watched the banks of the river slip past. He saw the Magic
Forest through a haze, while before him the lithe bowsman swung his paddle
tirelessly. The whispering swish swish of the water lulled him. At this
early moment in a strange adventure Jimmy might have fallen sound asleep had
not a diversion aroused him. The leading canoe suddenly stopped short, worked
noiselessly sideways, and came to rest against the bank. The other canoes
joined it. No word was spoken, and Jimmy was warned by an expressive gesture
to keep silent. After a moment Ah-kik, the bowsman, drew from a long case a
musket bound in brass. The canoe crept forward around the bend. Not a drip
of water broke the stillness. Makwa was still paddling without raising the
paddle from the water, with a barely perceptible motion of the wrists.
Something exciting was going on! Jimmy did not know what it was, but his eyes
grew large and bright, and he held himself so still as hardly to breathe.
