Explore "Captain Chap" by Frank R. Stockton on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
"Come from the river? " said the Indian who had shaken hands with Chap. "Been fishin'? Where's the rest of 'em?"
The very fair English which this Indian spoke was a new surprise to Chap, and for an instant he wondered how the man knew there were any more of them; but as any one might reasonably suppose that a young fellow like himself would not come into this part of the country alone, the question seemed sensible enough. The other Indian now came up, and, without saying anything, seemed very anxious to hear what should be said.
