They took the lead of us, directly, and kept it. Behind us came a lot of darkeys, not trying to catch Priscilla, but anxious, I suppose, to see what was going to happen. Priscilla still kept well ahead. She had struck out of the lane into a road which led toward the outskirts of the town. I think we were beginning to gain on her when, all of a sudden, she sat down.
"I told you I wouldn't want them," said I. "I'm going to dive, myself." "You dive, boss!" cried all three of the darkeys at once, and the two boys began to laugh. "Ye can't do that, boss," said the captain. "Ef ye aint used to this here kind o' divin', ye can't do nothin' at all, under this water. Ye better let the boys go for ye."
"O, that's nothing," answered George, carelessly. "If alligators were all we had to fear, we would all be safe at the North in less than two months. They are death on darkeys, but they will not touch a white man in the water, if he keeps moving. There's not the slightest danger. Come on."
Goods had never been so cheap, gross sales so large, or Blackland darkeys and Sandstone crackers so flush. And naturally the prosperity that worked downward had worked upward all the more.
I have a feeling somehow that his personality is spread all over the place that we are smeared with Gideon Vetch, as the darkeys would say." He was already a different Stephen from the one who had got into her car an hour ago, and she breathed a secret prayer of thanksgiving.
The darkeys, somehow or other, didn't tackle to this treatment; and, the Germans having thus roused them up to the south of our protectorate, where, unfortunately for us, Meinherr Von Sourkrout and his domineering compatriots have a territory far too close to our own, the natives, being of the opinion that we were in sympathy with their oppressors, joined hands with the Somalis in their advance on our trading posts along the coast they did not touch those belonging to the Germans, for the very good reason that these have none!
You year me, dey ain't gwine." "Stand him up on the table," said the Sporting editor; "give him room." "Better go down yer ter de calaboose, an' git some news fer ter print," said Uncle Remus, with a touch of irony in his tone. "Some new nigger mighter broke inter jail." "You say the darkeys are not going to emigrate this year?" inquired the agricultural editor, who is interested in these things.
"Begorrah!" exclaimed Mick, none the worse for the fray, beyond a slight cut on his port cheek, which had been caused by the scrape of the mulatto's long nails and not by his fist, as he burst into a roar of laughter on the darkeys bringing out this impromptu musical account of the recent fight in which all hands joined, making most of the passers- by we met on our route to one of the hotels recommended by Mr Jones, who had been to Bridgetown before, look round to see what was the matter "it bates Bannagher an' Donnybrook Fair all rowled into one, sure!"
By way of reply the sailor laughed heartily but silently, and poked his brother in the ribs with his finger. "I know you have made the darkeys afraid of you by telling them your ridiculous stories, and I am ashamed to say that I have backed up all you have said to them," continued Marcy. "But I don't see why you stuffed them up that way to-night. It wasn't true, of course."
The queen had taken her throne indoors, and we went in and shook hands with her, telling her we would soon come and see how she was getting along. I don't suppose she understood us, but it didn't matter. When we had gone some distance, we looked back, and there was still a pile of darkeys rolling and tumbling in the dust.
