Sam listened and heard sung for the first time lines that were to be imprinted upon his tympanum until they became a torture: "I'm Captain Jinks of the Cubapines, The pink of human war-machines, Who teaches emperors, kings, and queens The way to run an army."
I'm sorry you couldn't come to see me there, but I had to be here this week looking after election matters in my district. In Whoppington all the hotels are full of contractors and men looking for commissions in the army, and promoters and investors, all with an eye to the Cubapines. You can just see how the war has brought prosperity!"
It is true that these troops could ill be spared from the Cubapines, as the country was still in the hands of the natives with the exception of here and there a strip of the seacoast, and there was much illness among the troops, many being down with fever and worse diseases.
Four of her soldier sons had returned a few days before from Porsslania and the Cubapines, and this day had been set aside for a great celebration and a mass-meeting at the Methodist church to welcome them. The procession was to take place early in the evening, and after supper Cleary went out alone to watch the proceedings, leaving his friend to the care of his relatives.
Foster had been in the Cubapines since the arrival of the first troops, and it was a treat for both of his interlocutors to hear all the news at first hand from a participant in the events. "How were things when you got here?" asked Cleary. "Well, it was like this," answered Foster. "Nothing had happened then except the destruction of the fleet.
We tackled Castalia and then the Cubapines, and they weren't of our size. We don't fight the powerful countries." "That's queer," said Corker, drinking a lemonade. "It's perfectly right," said Sam. "When a man's in the right, and of course we always are, if he fights a man of his size or one bigger than he is, he gives the wrong a chance of winning, and that is clearly immoral.
It ought to be 'The Autobiography of a Hero, or 'A Modern Washington in the Cubapines, or something like that. What do you think?" "I'm sure I don't know," said Sam. "I must leave that to you. They sound to me rather too flattering, but if you are sure that is the way those things are always done, I won't make any objection. You might ask Mr. Jonas. Where is he?" "He's going on next week.
Lord Bobbets went home and they gave him everything they could think of in the way of honors. It was a fitting tribute." "The war is quite over there now, isn't it?" asked Sam. "Yes," answered the captain, somewhat drily. "And so is yours in the Cubapines, I understand." "Yes," said Sam. "I think the Cubapine war and the South African war are about equally over."
