"Then why in Jericho do you let him take the box?" the captain demanded indignantly. Quoth the recruit, "Me speak along him, say bokkis he stop, that fella he cross along me" which was the recruit's way of saying that the other man would murder him.

A box so equipped is not spoken of as a mere box, but as the bokkis belong bell. FRIGHT is the beche de mer for fear. If a native appears timid and one asks him the cause, he is liable to hear in reply: "Me fright along you too much."
They thought he was giving the name of the breed, and from that day to this, beef on the hoof and beef in the tin is called bullamacow. A Solomon islander cannot say FENCE, so, in beche de mer, it becomes fennis; store is sittore, and box is bokkis.
