He took them out of the wagon, while the rest began to gather their liberal harvest of evergreens; and he did not bring them near it again until all was ready for the start homeward. "Now, boys," he said, "you get in; Joe and Ford and Fuz on the back seat, to hold down the greens. Frank, get up there, forward, while I hitch in the ponies. These fellows are chuck full of mischief."
Kinzer and the rest came, for they brought with them the officers of the wrecked bark; and neither Joe nor Fuz had an opportunity to so much as "help distribute" that supply of provisions. Ham went over to see that the distribution should be properly made; while Mrs. Kinzer saw her little patient, with his father and mother, safely stowed on board "The Swallow."
"Well, I was thinking what a good time Fuz and Joe would be likely to have, trying to get ahead of Dab Kinzer." Annie looked at her brother, and nodded; and there was a bit of a twinkle in the eyes of the lawyer himself, but he only remarked, "Well, you must be neighborly. I don't believe the Hart boys know much about the seashore." "Dab and Frank and I will try and educate them."
Some had guns, matchlocks, and some had spears. They mostly had their long hair tied up and sticking out in a fuz behind, as funny a long line of men as ever one saw.
Their hair is done something like the Bisharin's that is, with a fuz standing up on the top, but the hanging part is not curled; the white tallow with which they were caked, made them look as if their heads were surrounded with dips. I asked why the tallow was put on. One said to make one strong, another to make one see far, and a third reason was that the hair might not appear black.
They were now coasting along the island, at no great distance, and, although it was not nearly noon, Dab heard Joe Hart say to his brother: "Never was so hungry in all my life. Glad they did lay in a good stock of provisions." "So am I," returned Fuz. "Isn't there any such thing as our getting into the cabin!" No, there was not, so long as Mrs.
Hamilton Morris, and he well knew the value of a rowboat to a sea-going picnic-party. As for Joe and Fuz, they were compelled to overcome a strong inward inclination to cast the boat loose. Such a good joke it would have been! But Ham Morris was in the way of it, so long as he stood at the tiller.
Still, he had doubts in his own mind as to whether he would ever dare such another undertaking with less than five white boys along to "see him through." Joe and Fuz ate well; but their spirits were manifestly low, for they were painfully conscious of having forever lost the good opinion of that mulatto waiter.
"And we are to pay her with Joe and Fuz," said Ford. "Well, I wish Ham Morris's storm would come along." He only had to wait till next day for it, and he was quite contented to be on shore while it lasted. There was no use in laughing at the prophecies of the fishermen after it began to blow. Still, it was not a long one, and Ham Morris remarked: "This is only an outside edge of it.
He was, as Fuz expressed it, to be "put through a regular course of sprouts, and take the Hindu all out of him." "Never mind, though," said Joe, after the letter came, and the decision of their parents was declared: "we'll serve him out after we get to Grantley. There won't be anybody to interfere with the fun." "Well, yes," replied Fuz, "and I'd just as lief not see too much of him before that.
