Now both he and the Engineer frequently do this thing, and then fly off to their guns bang, bang, finish; but this time he does not dash for his gun, nor does the Engineer, who flies out of his cabin at the sound of the war shout "Hippopotame."
In which is given some account of the episode of the Hippopotame, and of the voyager's attempts at controlling an Ogowe canoe; and also of the Igalwa tribe. I say good-bye to Talagouga with much regret, and go on board the Eclaireur, when she returns from Njole, with all my bottles and belongings.
I drop my needlework and take to the deck; but it is after all only that shy retiring young man practising secretly on his clarionet. The Captain is drowsily looking down the river. But repose is not long allowed to that active spirit; he sees something in the water what? "Hippopotame," he ejaculates.
In vain I look across the broad river with its stretches of yellow sandbanks, where the "hippopotame" should be, but I can see nothing but four black stumps sticking up in the water away to the right. Meanwhile the Captain and the Engineer are flying about getting off a crew of blacks into the canoe we are towing alongside.
