And as he sprang forward to take hold of the Doctor, one of his ears caught fast in a tree; and the rest of the army had to stop and help him. By this time the Doctor had picked himself up, and on they went again, running and running. And Chee-Chee shouted, "It's all right! We haven't far to go now!"
And just as he was getting to the other side, the King's men came rushing up to the edge of the cliff. Then they shook their fists and yelled with rage. For they saw they were too late. The Doctor and all his animals were safe in the Land of the Monkeys and the bridge was pulled across to the other side. Then Chee-Chee turned to the Doctor and said,
Then we can go on into the Land of the Monkeys." So there they stayed the whole night through. They often heard the King's men searching and talking in the jungle round about. But they were quite safe, for no one knew of that hiding-place but Chee-Chee not even the other monkeys.
Can't blame her for getting scared! I wonder who he'll go and kiss this time. Silly business!" Then the pushmi-pullyu, the white mouse, Gub-Gub, Dab-Dab, Jip and the owl, Too-Too, went on to the ship with the Doctor. But Chee-Chee, Polynesia and the crocodile stayed behind, because Africa was their proper home, the land where they were born.
But the trouble was that the boat needed three people, while we were only two. "Of course I shall be taking Chee-Chee," said the Doctor. "But although he is very quick and clever, he is not as strong as a man. We really ought to have another person to sail a boat as big as that." "I know of a good sailor, Doctor," said Joe "a first-class seaman who would be glad of the job."
On the top, he curled himself up, pulled the old smoking-jacket over him, and in a minute he was snoring peacefully. "Good old Chee-Chee!" whispered the Doctor. "I'm glad he's back." "Yes good old Chee-Chee!" echoed Dab-Dab and Polynesia. Then we all tip-toed out of the scullery and closed the door very gently behind us.
IN the Royal Palace Bumpo and I had a beautiful suite of rooms of our very own which Polynesia, Jip and Chee-Chee shared with us. Officially Bumpo was Minister of the Interior; while I was First Lord of the Treasury. Long Arrow also had quarters there; but at present he was absent, traveling abroad.
He said, "Chee-chee!" in the shrillest of trebles and went back to his former position. "The story?" said Calhoun insistently. "There there isn't any," said the girl unsteadily. "Just that I I need to get to Orede, and you're going there. There's no other way to go, now." "To the contrary," said Calhoun. "There'll undoubtedly be a fleet heading for Orede as soon as it can be assembled and armed.
This made us feel a little uneasy. He was such an enormous man there was no knowing what he might do if he got really obstreperous. Bumpo and I were talking about this downstairs in the dining-saloon when Polynesia, Jip and Chee-Chee came and joined us. And, as usual, Polynesia had a plan. "Listen," she said, "I am certain this Ben Butcher is a smuggler and a bad man.
He blinked at Calhoun. "We're due to land shortly," Calhoun observed. "You will impress the local inhabitants. I will get unpopular. According to the records, there's been no Med Ship inspection here for twelve standard years. And that was practically no inspection, to judge by the report." Murgatroyd said: "Chee-chee!"
