This was the question that puzzled us. "It did not puzzle all of us though. Fortunately there chanced to be a bee-hunter among us a real old bee-hunter, and that individual was our famous Cudjo. Cudjo had `treed' bees many's the time in the woods of `Ole Vaginny, and cut down the trees too, and licked the honey for Cudjo was as sweet upon honey as a bear.
He watched him, therefore, as closely as if Cudjo had been a conjuror, and was about to perform some trick. The latter said nothing, but went silently to work evidently not a little proud of his peculiar knowledge, and the interest which he was exciting by it. "There was a dead log near one edge of the opening.
From my finding this pumice-stone, I concluded that our snow-mountain had once been a volcano perhaps like the peak of Teneriffe, standing alone in the water, when the great plain around us had been covered with a sea. "Cudjo and I did not forget the promise we had made to the beavers.
He strives to inculcate the lesson, 'Be ye therefore ready. CUDJO'S CAVE. By J. T. TROWBRIDGE, Author of 'Neighbor Jackwood, 'The Drummer Boy, etc. Boston: Tilton & Co. We believe Mr. Trowbridge has achieved a real success in his Cudjo. The plot is well conceived and sustained, and the interest never flags from the first page to the last.
We did not find the black-tails very palatable, and most of their flesh went to feed Castor and Pollux. "Cudjo was the busiest of all of us. He made several household utensils which proved of great service to us. He also constructed for himself a wooden plough, which would serve every purpose as there was a considerable portion of the ground that was without turf, and could be easily turned.
"In a few moments, however, a loud and joyful exclamation from Cudjo proclaimed that the hunt was over the bee-tree was found! "True enough, there was the nest, or the entrance that led to it, away high up on a giant sycamore. We could see the discoloration on the bark caused by the feet of the bees, and even the little creatures themselves crowding out and in.
We then put all three into the cart, and returned triumphant to the house." "Cudjo had already completed our deer-park, which consisted of several acres, partly woodland and part of it being in the glade immediately adjoining the house. It was enclosed on all sides by a ten-rail fence, with stakes and riders, so that no animal of the deer species could possibly leap out of it.
We all ran towards it Cudjo, the boys, and myself, and in a few seconds we stood upon its edge upon the edge of what appeared to be a large lake, formed as if by some magical influence! "We had at first regarded the phenomenon only with feelings of wonder; but our wonder was now changed to consternation, when we perceived that the water was still rising!
Their male names are still largely Ashantee, as "Cudjo," "Cuffee," "Quarcoo," "Quashee," etc., and their dialect, a mixture of "pigeon English" and Ghoolah, strongly impregnated with the French of the Huguenot masters of their forefathers, is simply incomprehensible to a stranger, whether white or black.
"Each of us had our separate duty to perform Cudjo, with his bucket, went from tree to tree, collecting the sap as it gathered in the troughs, while Mary and I kept up the fire, and looked to the ladling. When a kettle of the water was sufficiently boiled down, it was necessary to pour it out into small vessels, that the sugar might crystallise by cooling.
