"General trading through the Marquesas, the Society Islands, and the Gilberts." "Happen to be goin' to Aranuka, in the Gilberts?" "You bet. Got a trading station there." "How are you off for a good mate?" "Got one." "How about a second mate?" "Got a crackerjack." "Well, I'm not particular. I'll make a bully bo'sun, sir." "Very well.
She was more than a mile out an' comin' like a shark, hand over hand. Before I could yell to the boy at the wheel to luff up, so we wouldn't run the girl down, we was right on top of her. "'They'll have to revise the census of Aranuka, says Bull McGinty. I do believe we hit that girl an' drove her under.
Gawd, McGuffey, but when I was king, they used to pay dear for their fresh water, except the gunboats, which of course came on and helped themselves without askin' no questions of me and parliament which was both the same thing. I was in Aranuka first in '88 and again in '89, and I was a fool for leavin' it." "What was you doin' in this here Aranuka?" asked Mr. McGuffey.
'I think lie, is the king's emphatic commentary; yet he is proud of the legend.

"All right, since you drive me to it. How about that lovely, untootered savage that you lures into your foul clutches so's you can make yourself king of Aranuka? Hey? Hey? How about that little tropic wild flower you carelessly plucked an' thrun away? Oh, I'll admit she was a savage, but she was sweet an' human for all that an' she had feelin's. She had a heart to bust an' you busted it for fair."
Don't hit a feller when he's down." "Well, he ain't down so low that he can't climb back. If he's got a spark o' manhood left in him he'll never rest until he goes back to Aranuka, looks up them progeny o' his, an' does his best to make amends for the past. Gib, you can't work for me aboard the Maggie not if the old girl couldn't turn her screw until you stepped aboard.
