The nurse, with one child, was at last placed by her side; Coco was leading Judy, the other nurse, with the remaining infant in her arms; and Captain Ingram, who had been obliged to go into the boat with the first child, was about to return to assist Judy with the other, when the ship gave a heavy pitch, and her forecastle was buried in the wave; at the same time the gunwale of the boat was stove by coming in contact with the side of the vessel.
Then he tried to laugh at his own surprise. 'I do not wonder that you are surprised, Monsieur, said Madame Bernard with a pleasant smile. 'Oh, Coco has exactly my poor husband's voice! 'I can brave a parrot's opinion, Giovanni said, attempting to speak gaily. 'Will you brave mine? Angela asked. 'You certainly do not think I am afraid to go, he answered, 'for you know why I mean to refuse.
The child, revived by the strange sustenance, gradually recovered its powers, and in a few minutes it pulled at the finger with a certain degree of vigour. 'Look, Judy, how Massa Eddard take it, continued Coco. 'Pull away, Massa Eddard, pull away. Coco ab ten finger, and take long while suck em all dry. But the child was soon satisfied, and fell asleep in the arms of Judy.
Too feeble to break his bonds, he would stretch his head out toward the tall, green, tempting grass, so near that he could smell, and yet so far that he could not touch it. But one morning Zidore had an idea: it was, not to move Coco any more. He was tired of walking so far for that old skeleton. He came, however, in order to enjoy his vengeance. The beast watched him anxiously.
"Wherever it came from, it's a wicked-lookin' cuss," said Bud. "But what wuz ther feller goin' ter explore yer with it fer?" "This letter," said Ted, taking the crumpled paper from his pocket and handing it to Bud. "Jumpin' sand hills, ther plot thickens," said Bud, when he had finished reading it. "I don't seem ter be in it at all. What's it all erbout? Ye've got my coco whirlin' shore."
The sea had gradually decreased its violence, and but occasionally broke over the vessel; carefully holding on by the door-jambs, Coco gained the outside, that he might survey the horizon. "What you see, Coco?" said the female, observing from the caboose that his eyes were fixed upon a certain quarter.
"Eh, me!" cried the negress, who had uncovered the child to look at it, and whose powers were sinking fast. "Poor lilly Massa Eddard, him look very bad indeed him die very soon, me fear. Look, Coco, no ab breath." The child's head fell back upon the breast of its nurse, and life appeared to be extinct. "Judy, you no ab milk for piccaninny; suppose um ab no milk, how can live?
The old animal spent the whole day in useless, terrible efforts. The sight of all that green food, which stretched out on all sides of him, served to increase the gnawing pangs of hunger. The scamp did not return that day. He wandered through the woods in search of nests. The next day he appeared upon the scene again. Coco, exhausted, had lain down.
The islands were densely covered with coco palms, interspersed here and there with lofty puka trees, the nesting-places of countless thousands of a small species of sooty petrel, whose discordant notes filled the air with their clamour as Rawlings and Barry passed beneath, walking along a disused native path, while the two boats pulled along the shore. The village was found to be abandoned.
The days are so much alike that it is difficult to find anything special to say about them. They fly so quickly that I was surprised to be reminded by the usual singing-practice this afternoon that another week had gone by. The two green paroquets, 'Coco' and 'Meta, given to me by Mr. Fisher at Rosario, have turned out dear little pets, with the most amusing ways.
