I should have been quite content to spend my days in the scrub, enjoying life in dark and savage ways, and my nights "alonga possum rug"; but the family had other plans for my future. It was a case of two blackfellows and one gin, when Black Jimmie went a-wooing about twelve years before I made his acquaintance and he fought for his bride in the black fashion.
Duckbill intercepted me on the edge of the clearing one morning especially to propound the law of the land. Soosie, he told in his pidgin English, had been given to him by her uncle. She was to be his gin now that she was grown up. "More better you hunt that fella. Him want sit down alonga camp." The bald proposition shook me, for I could not but see the logic of it from Duckbill's standpoint.
This example may be out of the common, and therefore worthy of inclusion in a general reference to the life of the coral reef. A third species, rare in a certain sense only, is of a most retiring, not to say secretive, disposition. The blacks could offer no information beyond that which was delightfully indefinite. "That fella plenty alonga reef. You look out. B'mbi might you catch 'em!"
Bostock reached down his hand, but the help was not needed, the black springing up and rapidly making his way on deck, where he stood for a few moments gazing across the lagoon, stained blood-red now by the big fire; and he laughed softly. "Black fellow eat plenty snakum. Jackum eat plenty now. Sit alonga self."
"Pompey, do you hear me?" cried Sarah, who was gone up now to the house. "Hey oh hi oh! Yes, missie, you call a me?" came from a little farther away. "Do you hear what I say, sir?" "Yes, missie." "Then come here directly." "Ole massa go along, an' Massa George a 'top alonga." "Pompey!" "Yes, missie; you call a me?"
Some fella go alonga house tell 'em Mr Limsee 'That boy bin kill you, fight long a camp. Cap'n catch 'em spear longa inside. Mr Limsee come down. He say 'Cap'n, my boy, I think you finish now; me very sorry for you. Bad place for spear longa side. Hollow inside. Suppose spear go along a leg and arm, no matter. Suppose go inside, hollow place inside, you finish quick.
"Gee! we could tickle him with Kaipi's old knife blade till he ran us right into the haunt." "He's deaf," I said; "there's a good chance of roping him in if we could scale the cliff." "Me climb!" said Maru. "Him not hear. Me climb all alonga track, drop down, breakem him neck." "No, don't break his neck!" growled Holman. "We want him as a guide. Do you understand?
