When they sing these songs they play on an instrument named Maiohaven, like a calabash with a long neck, made of wood, strong, hollow, and thin, which makes so loud a noise as to be heard at the distance of a league and a half.
Eviot retired, and presently returned with Bonthron, whom he had rescued from the penance, to him no unpleasing infliction, of a second calabash of wine, the brute having gorged the first without much apparent alteration in his demeanour. "Eviot," said the Prince, "let not that beast come nigh me.
Gustave Adolphe, in obedience to the commands he had received, brought up to Newton a bunch of bananas, a large piece of salt fish, and a calabash of water. The latter was immediately applied to his lips, and never removed while a drop remained, much to the astonishment of the negro, who again sported his English. "I say very good ab more?" "If you please," replied Newton.
You never saw two of 'em yet that could agree on anything for ten minutes except that they want something for nothing." The speaker paused impressively. His listeners stirred with relief, but the tide of his speech again washed in upon them. "They lack," said he, pointing the calabash pipe at Gideon Whipple, sitting patiently across the table from him, "they lack the third eye of wisdom."
Barney's latter remark was addressed to his patient charger, from whose back he sprang as he spoke, and slackened its girths. It was now approaching mid-day, and the hermit had pitched upon a large tree as a fitting spot for rest and refreshment. Water had been brought up the mountain in a huge calabash; but they did not require to use it, as they found a quantity in the hollow stump of a tree.
On the way, an Indian was met in a canoe, having a piece of their bread, some water in a calabash or gourd, a little of the black earth with which they paint themselves, some dry leaves of a wholesome sweet-scented herb which they prize highly; and, in a little basket, a string of glass beads, and two vinteins , by which it appeared he came from San Salvador, had passed the Conception, and was going to this third island, which the admiral now named Fernandina, in honour of the king of Spain.
"They are some mutton bones I threw there." "It was not a mutton bone," answered the child; "it was bones buried dead men's bones: a foot which stuck out of the ground. I saw it." "And you instantly told this to your brother, your good friend Martial did you not?" said Calabash. Francois did not answer. "Wicked little spy!" cried Calabash, furiously.
Seraphin, turning toward Fleur-de-Marie, who, notwithstanding her confidence, had felt her heart beat at the appearance of the sinister faces of the widow, Calabash and Nicholas. But the name of Madame George reassured her, and she answered, "I am also very impatient to see her; happily, the passage is short." "Won't the dear lady be happy!" said Mrs. Seraphin.
Carrying water with us, we next marched half-way to the first settlement of Ugogo, and bivouacked again, to eat the last of our store of Mbumi grain. At length the greater famine lands had been spanned; but we were not in lands of plenty for the Wagogo we found, like their neighbours Wasagara, eating the seed of the calabash, to save their small stores of grain.
"You are a good fighter," said Davis in his shrill, piercing tones, "it's a pity that you became an ordinary sailor, you would have been a splendid pirate. Boys, give him a drink." One of the pirates held his calabash filled with rum to William's lips, but he turned his head away in loathing. To drink from the pirates' cups means joining the band.
