Though at first struck with astonishment at what they saw, they soon became familiar with their visitors, and the king expressed his wish to change names with the captain, who was henceforth called Captain Oree, while the chief took the name of King Cookee.
Foote, on his last journey to France for the recovery of his health, while waiting for the packet, entered the kitchen of the Ship tavern at Dover, and, addressing the cook, who prided herself in never having been ten miles out of town, exclaimed, "Why, cookee, I understand you have been a great traveller."
Mike looked about for help and found every window about the clearing with a face pressed against it. He yelled for the cook. "Cookee! Him make Mike's lil' gun ready! in cabin!" The cook, seeing that the wild beast was safely shut up for the time being, ran out of his kitchen and hurried over to Mike's aid. Mike made him understand that a revolver was to be found in his cabin.
The opening of the portal admitted a roar of sound. The river was rising. "Come on, boys, she's on!" said he sharply. Outside, the cook and cookee were stowing articles in the already loaded wanigan. The scow contained tents, blankets, provisions, and a portable stove. It followed the drive, and made a camp wherever expediency demanded. "Lively, boys, lively!" shouted Thorpe.
Jarwin, whose heart had leaped with delight when he saw the dark figure and the white flag, immediately turned round and said "You needn't be afraid, old boy; that's the missionary, I'll be bound, in his black toggery, an' a white flag means `peace' among Cookee men."
"Johnson, bring hot water and rags. Cookee, make some strong soup. If there's any life in him we'll bring it back. On the jump, there!" "Wal," said one man, when Code had been carried below, "I thought my halibut was high line to-day, but the skipper beat me out in the end." "Here is something my father just asked me to give you."
"Land, ain't he a savage one?" he gasped, as he hastened back into his realm of pots. He transferred his news to the amazed cookee. "They tell me," he magnified, so as not to be outdone in sensationalism, "that this feller has licked every man that they've turned him loose on between here and Sunkhaze, an' now is just grittin' his teeth a-waitin' for the colonel."
"Send cookee out for wood," he said. "He hasn't heard nothing." "Sure," cried Joe, brightening, "and if there's anything out there we'll find out on him." "He'll see we've burned the stuff up," objected Shand, frowning. "What of it?" asked Big Jack. "He's got to see when he wakes. 'Tain't none of his business, anyhow." "Ho, Sam!" cried Husky.
The twins were great favorites with Cookee, so he grunted as he rose from his chair and went to the shed where he kept his stock. "Oh, Cookee, those are nice apples!" hinted Don. "Want some?" laughed the man, handing an apple to each child. "An' I love crackers, too," added Dot, seeing a can of graham crackers standing upon the shelf.
Mike, he's gone duck shootin' to-day an 'spects to bring back several brace of ducks to hep out on de turkeys," said Cookee, grinning at the way he gave away Mike's secrets for Christmas dinner. "We'd better save the venison steak for New Year's, then," suggested Mrs. Latimer. "Huh, huh!
