All wise schools have agreed that this latter capture depends to some extent on the faith of the capturer. So it comes to this: If you have no faith in the spirits your appeal is in vain; and if you have is it needed? If you do not believe, you cannot. If you do you will not. That is the real distinction between investigation in this department and investigation in any other.
Many natives, however particularly an old Rarotongan named Hapai, who lived in Apia, and was the proud capturer of several ta~nifa gave me a reliable description, which I afterwards verified.
The latter was then in high favor as the hero of Saratoga and the capturer of the invading army of Burgoyne. In this connection, the prophetic words of the deeply embittered General Charles Lee will be recalled. On his way to take command of the southern army to which he had just been assigned, Gates called upon Lee, then in disgrace and retirement at his home.
And even in his slightest work he proves himself the master that is, the owner of words that, owned by him, are unprofaned, are as though they had never been profaned; the capturer of an art so quick and close that it is the voice less of a poet than of the very Muse. I shall not ask the commentators whether Blake used these two words in union or in antithesis.
This is supposed to be a native, and the traditions of the Indians confirm the supposition. The largest native Tahoe trout caught, of which there is any authentic record, was captured not far from Glenbrook and weighed 35 pounds, and, strange to say, its capturer was an amateur. This, the boatmen tell me, is generally the case the amateurs almost invariably bringing in the largest fish.
I was coming home from Africa with an emigrant, a Briton, my capturer, indeed that officer in the blockading squadron on that coast who seized my privateer, the Ida, with all her complement of Guinea slaves. His name was all I took from him you got the rest Van Dorn!"
He had seized the snake by its head, I imagine, for we could see the rest of its form twisting and turning about and enveloping the body of its capturer. In a few seconds we saw the iguana ascend still higher, then he disappeared with his hateful prey among the loftier branches. No doubt he enjoyed his meal.
'Ay, fellow, I see the toy; what of it? 'Thou Masai dog, thou boasting windbag, thou capturer of little girls, with this "toy" will I hew thee limb from limb. Well for thee that thou art a herald, or even now would I strew thy members about the grass.
In Siam it is believed that a white elephant may contain the soul of a dead person, perhaps a Buddha; when one is taken the capturer is rewarded and the animal brought to the king to be kept ever afterwards; it cannot be bought or sold. It is baptized and fêted and mourned for like a human being at its death.
With a fellow like you on board the capturer of a gang of burglars, and all that sort of thing I should have thought that, instead of running away, you would have gone straight at her; that you would have thrown yourself on her deck at the head of the boarders, would have beaten the Frenchmen below, killed their captain in single combat, and hauled down their flag."
