Excellency Kyong-Bah tell me say you he must havee those lifles, and think you get them safe thlough if you vely quick and caleful; but he tell me say you must hully, ol you be caught." "And that's over a week ago!" groaned Drake. "What chance have we, think you, Mr Frobisher, of getting this cargo safely through now?"
"Well, never mind about it now, boys. I reckon we'll think about the supper. Hurry up, Wing. Just get a little move on you." "Allee light, Misler Wild," answered the cook, smilingly. "Me havee, um supper leady allee samee pletty quickee, so be." "Me helpee my blother," spoke up Hop, grinning. "He allee samee velly muchee slow." "Me no slow," retorted Wing; "me allee light."
"He takee lillee tlip to huntee uppee some outlaws, so be," answered the Chinaman. "Me likee havee lillee tanglefoot; len me go outee huntee, too, so be." "Is that so? Well, I don't know how much of a hunter you are, but if yer are as good at it as yer are with ther cards you'll make out all right, I reckon." "Lat light."
"You get your money at the camp and bring that here, too." Allee light, Misler Outlaw, replied Hop. "You will havee um cigar?" He tendered one and, taking it, the outlaw looked at it suspiciously and then cut off the end with his bowie knife. Hop lighted one, too, and then he stood still. "Me allee samee forgittee whattee you say," he said, as he looked puzzled. Cap Roche went over it again.
Correctly speaking, I suppose the thing either belonged to the owner of the Talayot, or else, as treasure-trove, should revert to the crown. But on the glorious principle of 'no catchee no havee, I think we may leave these two last out of consideration.
No, no; no catchee no havee! You would not have made your appearance these three days, if I hadn't sugared the trap! Now I have got you, I'll keep you, damn my eyes!" I repeated my request to go on shore; but, without condescending to offer any further reasons, he answered "I'd see you damned first, sir! And observe, I never admit of expostulation.
The Chinaman gave a parting laugh, and then, turning to the other Celestial, observed: "Me havee velly nallow escapee, my blother." "You allee samee velly muchee fool!" was the retort. "You allee timee lookee for um tanglefoot, so be." "Me havee two velly nicee lillee dlinks, my blother; you no havee." "Me no wantee," was the scornful rejoinder.
I done my day's work. Fork over that plug o' tobacker you're owin' me about the lenth o' that snake. Otherways, shut up. We ain't on equal terms while that stick o' tobacker's between us." "I'll straighten you some of these times," replied Moriarty darkly. "It's coming, Toby!" "No catchee, no havee, ole son!" laughed the prince. "The divil resave ye, Paddy!
"Fancy going off again to-night sneaking down to another of these rivers all among the mosquitoes and fever mists. Ugh! If I'd known, you wouldn't have caught me coming to sea." "Oh, we shall catch one of 'em yet. A big Yankee schooner full of slaves; and then look at the prize-money." "No catchee, no havee, Van. Oh, I say, I am hot. Why, I believe you could fry eggs in the sun."
Wing acted as though he was disgusted, but a sorrowful look from his brother soon brought him around. "Me no tellee Misler Charlie," he said. "Allee light. Now me go to um saloon and git tee lillee dlop of tanglefoot; len me go and havee lillee look alound up Forbiddee Passee, so be." Hop was not long in getting ready. Without another word he set out for the saloon.
