The other blacks, it seemed, had made good their escape; but Tomas, lagging behind through fear or foolishness, had given these copper-colored devils leave to run him down and drag him back into the fire light, with yells of savage triumph.
Two others were drawn up on the beach, and half a dozen or more copper-colored savages were standing round the dingy. "We must save our boat at any cost!" cried Captain Sumner. As they dashed down the hill the savages turned, armed with clubs, to face them. One was bending a bow, but a shot from Bob's gun broke his arm.
On one low balcony, a copper-colored man, with a huge feather cap and the traditional dress of the American savage, was beating two drums; a burnt-cork black man stood beside him; while on the steps was a woman, in hat and shawl, making an earnest speech to the crowd.
Look there." I held out my copper-colored forearm. He smiled again and nodded. "I'm going back to the States," he said, "after three years in the Islands, capped with two months in India and Australia. I'm Keller of the 23rd Infantry." He paused, then went on in a matter-of-fact way. "I've been in the jungle three months on end. I know what it means.
Again there came a roar of water, a splash, and his huge dark-blue and copper-colored body surged on the surface. He wagged his head and the long black sword made a half-circle. The line was taut from boat to fish in spite of all I could do in lowering my rod. I had to hold it up far enough to get the spring. There was absolutely no way to keep him from getting slack.
The young girl called Lucy rose with a partner her brother-in-law some one told Susan and facing one another, hand on hip, heads high, they began to foot it lightly over the blackening grass. Seen thus Lucy was handsome, a tall, long-limbed sapling of a girl, with a flaming crest of copper-colored hair and movements as lithe and supple as a cat's.
After some more talk about this, I says: "Sandy, I notice that I hardly ever see a white angel; where I run across one white angel, I strike as many as a hundred million copper-colored ones people that can't speak English. How is that?" "Well, you will find it the same in any State or Territory of the American corner of heaven you choose to go to.
"Well, if I am bad I'm no pagan Indian Hottentot like you!" yelled the angry driver. "Take the dog, and begone!" "Me no Hottentot," said We-hro, slowly. "Me Onondaga, all right. Me take dog;" and from that hour the poor little white cur and the copper-colored little boy were friends for all time.
The heavy chandeliers were loaded with flattened brass balls, magnified fac-similes of which crowned the uprights of the low, broad, massively-framed chairs, which were covered in leather stamped with Japanese dragon designs in copper-colored metal. Near the fireplace was a great bronze bell of Chinese shape, mounted like a mortar on a black wooden carriage for use as a coal-scuttle.
It was a very solemn place. I expected that the spiced odors of Araby were going to steal over my senses now, but they did not. A copper-colored skeleton, with a rag around him, brought me a glass decanter of water, with a lighted tobacco pipe in the top of it, and a pliant stem a yard long, with a brass mouth-piece to it.
