"Well, poor chap, you do look as if you'd had a hard night of it -- but there's a bed here for you when you've had your breakfast. No, they ain't dead, lad -- we are sorry enough for that. You see we knew right where to put our hands on them, by your description; so we crept along on tiptoe till we got within fifteen feet of them -- dark as a cellar that sumach path was -- and just then I found I was going to sneeze. I tried to keep it back, but no use -- 'twas bound to come, and it did come! I was in the lead with my pistol raised, and when the sneeze started those scoundrels(坏蛋,恶棍) a-rustling(沙沙声) to get out of the path, I sung out, 'Fire boys!' and blazed(猛烈地开火) away at the place where the rustling was. So did the boys. But they were off in a jiffy(瞬间,一会儿), those villains(罪犯,恶棍), and we after them, down through the woods.
