"I aren't forgot what he did to me with one of the nigger's clubs. I've got Jackum's here, and maybe I shall get its big knob home quicker than he can put in a shot." Carey had no further protest ready, and he sat in agony, hardly realising that it was strange the various sounds had not awakened the doctor.
In fact, voyage after voyage was made to the Chusan and to Jackum's island during the following twelve months on salvage business, and with excellent results. But we have nothing to do with that.
In a few seconds Jackum's countenance changed, his eyes began to roll, his face seemed puffed out, and a brutally savage look came over it. He growled like a wild beast, turned on his black companion suddenly, and kicked him over, ending by jumping on him softly, to the black fellow's great delight.
He started to run aft, and Carey and the other two followed, the black fellows, who were busy picking and cleaning the game they had brought back, paying no heed. As they reached the cabin entry Carey anxiously caught Jackum's arm. "Mind," he whispered, pointing downward. "Big Dan. Shoot, shoot!"
For the boomerang struck the distended jaws with a sharp crack, and the next moment the reptile was down, with its silvery-grey scales flashing in the sun like oxidised silver, as it lashed its tail about like a coil-whip. It was not round Jackum's legs, however, when he ran up to recover his boomerang, but round and round the spear-shaft which he held ready for the purpose.
