Later, while living in Samoa, they were pained to hear of the death of their dear old friend Tembinoka, king of the island where they had spent so many happy days. It seemed that he had an abscess on his leg, and one of the native doctors lanced it with an unclean fish-bone, which caused blood-poisoning and the death of the king in great agony.
Now Mike himself was a sad musician, and the sound of him fandangoin' uncertainly up and down the fretful spine of that instrument was a tribulation I'd put up with on account of friendship, pure and simple, but when that discord-lovin' lady cliff-dweller set all evenin' in our tent and scraped snake-dances out of them catguts with a fish-bone, I pulled my freight and laid out in the moonlight with the dogs.
"Shan't we turn into the castle yard?" enquired he. "No!" bellowed Squire Gerzson, so venomously that the "why not?" he was about to say, stuck in the poor coachman's throat like a fish-bone.

Once in a while a man would drop his knife or snap off his gibbing mitt, rinse his hand in the brine barrel by his side, slap his hand across the hoops, and condemn the luck of a split finger or a thumb with a fish-bone in it.
Except that he was nearly choked by a fish-bone, and could not quite conceal his distress and really Rose should have repressed her desire to laugh till the time for our retirement he made no sensation. I saw her eyes watering, and she is not clever in turning it off. In that nobody ever equalled dear Papa.
"I'll take you on as second man. You can begin to-day." My new Master shuffled his feet and put his finger to his forehead. "Thank you, sir," says he. Then he choked like he had swallowed a fish-bone. "I have a little dawg, sir," says he. "You can't keep him," says "Mr. Wyndham, sir," very short. "'E's only a puppy, sir," says my new Master; "'e wouldn't go outside the stables, sir."
