"Lun away, all come catchee and choppee off head. Go 'long stlaight and flighten 'em. Englis' sailor foleign debil, 'flaid o' nobody." "There's something in that," said Barkins. "Right. Show a bold front, lads. Let's go straight by them, and if they attack, then out with your swords and let's make a fight for it."
Ching it was, and the men sent up a cheer as out pursuers grappled the side of our boat, held on, and our messenger came on board smiling. "Velly muchee big job you catchee," he said. "Why, what fo' you lun along so fast?" "Why, Ching," cried Mr Brooke, "what does this mean?" "No get away. Muchee velly bad man. No get to boat. Allee fightee. Get 'nother boat, and come along."
We shouted to them, but not hearing us, on they went, now leaping over the fallen trunk of a tree, now rushing through a bush, now tumbling into a hole, still keeping their eyes fixed on the object which engaged their attention. We asked Toby what they were about. "Dey huntee bee. Soon catchee!" he answered. The reply was intelligible enough, but why they should hunt a bee puzzled us.
"Yes, catchee fish; catchee velly big fish some time." About ten minutes after, Ching pulled my sleeve and pointed to the other side of the river, where I caught sight of a very familiar old friend sitting in his boat, just as I had seen him in an old picture-book at home.
"D'you think I'm going to wait 'ere while you prods about in all the blasted lot? It's damn near high tide I shan't get out. 'Alf time! Savvy? Shove it on the scales!" Sin Sin Wa shook his head.

"Yang-kei-tze catchee one Chinaman, one piecee shootee chop chop," he argued, on the retaliatory principle, which, of course, held good in war, although no comfort to us at the moment.
I propose to stay on here it may be for a very long time. I have no power to make you go if you wish to remain, but I don't see why you should." "Catchee one piecee wife," remarked Wang unemotionally, and marched off, turning his back on the wharf and the great world beyond, represented by the steamer waiting for her boats.
Catchee on big quartz stone allee same Polly, me go fetchee." "No!" quickly shrieked the others. The prospect of being left in the proximity of Wan Lee's evil spirit, without Wan Lee's exorcising power, was anything but reassuring. "No, don't go!" "Go to bed," she said, authoritatively, "and sleep until morning." Thus admonished, the pirates again retired.
Wantee catchee more pilate." "But do you mean your friend knows of these junks sailing?" "Yes." "When did you get the letter?" "Chinese coolie bling lettee in flesh-vegetable boat." "What, this morning?" "Yes, bling lettee." "When are the junks going to sail?" "No know. Keepee watchee and catchee."
She could hardly hear him for the roaring in her poor bewildered head. "S'pose John tell, can catchee more tikkie? Plenty tikkie want to buy chow, allee so baddee times." "Always on the make, ain't you?" commented W. Keyse.
