"Then Hargrave shall help me." Schillie. "Help the pirates you mean; but who has looked after that female lately?"
Fond as they were of each other, his brother was too young to enter into the feelings that were unnaturally old, because forced on him. If Schillie and Gatty devoted themselves to him for a day, he seemed more happy, but he loved to mope about by himself with his gun; and while he grew tall and strong, his face was pale, and his brow thoughtful beyond his years.
"Rheumatism, I dare say; I have it sometimes in my knees, and it is very aggravating." Madame. "Alas, alas, would that it were; but I must not lose my precious moments, I must try to speak while I am able." Schillie. "Don't hurry, don't hurry, dear Madame. I have nothing to do at present, I can wait as long as you like." Madame. "Dear Mrs. E., thanks, but it is I, it is my time that is so short."
Schillie allowed she was very wrong to take them from their books, which were much better for them than idling about and bothering her. Madame had wondered at my permitting such disorderly doings, as had been going on from day to day, but would excuse it as I seemed to have a motive, and the young ladies were penitent.
They might be driven to desperation when they saw what succour we had received. Schillie. "Captain, you must make haste, they are on board the vessel and loading the guns; in a few minutes we shall be scattered into a thousand pieces." Captain. "What I advise is, as there is no time to lose, hold out a flag of truce, and capitulate." "Oh no, captain," said many of us.
I do think you might allow me a little rest after building that horrid house and labouring so hard." Mother. "But we shall look so silly if we have nothing to eat, and it is impossible to get out during the wet weather." Schillie. "That's granted, I cannot abide wet weather." Mother. "Then making discoveries is your principal delight; and you may combine amusement and use together." Schillie.
Stripping off his clothes, and carefully examining, we found him bruised in various places, but no other bones injured save the collar bone. Schillie set both arm and collar bone. We bandaged them as well as we could, and then carefully carrying him to the old tent place, we did our best to restore him to consciousness.
At all events, if you will none of you touch him, and he must be buried here, let us seek another cavern to live in, one nearer the waterfall." "Shall we follow Otty's advice," said I to the others, "it seems the only thing we can do, but it is horrible." "Cover up those unsightly remains, and let us begone," said Schillie, "the place is getting horrible even now."
The boys were one rubbing the cow down, the other feeding her with fresh grass, for which she eagerly pursued him. Schillie walked slowly to the water's edge, and began to make ducks and drakes, as it is called, with a stone, apparently trying to hit a dark object that was moving in the water. The dogs were going in after the stones, when a shout from the vessel roused her.
Schillie was about making a remonstrance, when we were interrupted by a burst of weeping, most outrageous in its noise; and, between sobs and passion, Felix blurted forth his indignation and disappointment at not being included in the party.
