"An' that ain't all. He had your motor-dory with him the one you caught us with out of Castalia." "How did he have that? I gave orders the motor-dories weren't to be used." "Wal, cookee an' the boy they was the only ones aboard tell it this way: Arry he struck a heavy school fust time he lets his dory rodin' go, an' most of his fish topped forty pound.
The astonished jay, projected straight upward by the shock, gave a startled squawk and cut a hole through the air for the tall timber. Stratton and Nolan went into convulsions of laughter. "Get at it!" cried the cookee, as though setting a pack of dogs on their prey. The men ate, perched in various attitudes and places. Thorpe found it difficult to keep warm.
Mebbeso you likee some fried ham and eggs?" said Song, shaking hands with himself and bowing low. "Ham and eggs! No! Positively, no! I'll be turning into a ham and egg if I get any more of it. That's all the cook at the ranch knows how to do. Anything else?" "Yes, missee. Plenty paltlidge, what Misto Ted shootee lesterday. I cookee you some plenty quick."
Cookee was ready to move on with the men, and the two families finished packing and were ready to start back to civilization early Tuesday morning. The cubs were shipped off Monday morning with the trunks. Mike almost cried as he said good-bye to the children, but he had had a fine winter's income, and the sale of the cubs would give him enough money to keep him with care, in old age.
On one occasion, when a poor "cookee" had been detected in the commission of some petty theft about the vessel, he was loud in his exhortations to the captain to hang him up immediately. The man appears, indeed, to have been altogether divested even of those natural affections which scarcely any of his savage countrymen but himself were found to be without.
The occasion was far too solemn and moments too precious for anything so empty as words. But when the white piles of bread and the brown piles of turkey had for a second time vanished, and after the last pie had disappeared, there came a pause and a hush of expectancy, whereupon the cook and cookee, each bearing aloft a huge, blazing pudding, came forth.
You do this for love of your God, your Saviour, so you tells me. Good, I do not need much palaver. Wen de sun shines it am hot; wen not shine am cold. Wot more? Cookee missionary have say the truth. My slave have prove the truth. I love you, Jowin. I love your God. I keep you if possible, but Christian must not have slave. Go you is free."
"Let's go down to the river on Saturday morning and play," suggested he. "Oh, it's awful far, Don, an' we won't get back to dinner," objected Dot. "We'll get Cookee to give us something to eat and we can walk slowly so you won't get tired. The roads are all cut out now, and there is no snow," persisted Don. "All right. I'll go. Goin' to bring the others?" "'Course not!" retorted Don.
Of course they conversed in the native tongue, but as this would be unintelligible to the reader, we translate. It may also be remarked here that "Cookee" signified a white man, and is a word derived from the visit of that great navigator Captain Cook to these islands, by the natives of which he was ultimately murdered. Jarwin had heard, while in England, of the missionary Williams.
"Cookee, give us some crackers?" asked Don, as Dot and he rushed into the kitchen after the cook. "Crackers! what fer? to feed Mike?" teased Cookee. "Mike? No, for ourselves. Wish Mike was back, though, 'cause Paul said the other old bear might kill him." "Mike's back I saw him go in his cabin a few minutes ago," said Cookee, turning to take some crackers from a jar.
