Jumbo evidently thinks it's his ghost!" "Won't he give his friend a fright?" said Wilkins, on observing that the poor man went staggering on in the direction of the kraal. "He will," said Hicks, laughing; "but they'll make up for their haste by taking good care of him now. I declare I thought for a moment or two that it was a real ghost!
Then Adrien broke in: "Yes, from that moment there was a change in our men's tactics." Then Patricia broke in: "Well, then, let me go on. Captain Jack knew quite well there was no use of allowing those little chaps, Snoopy and Geordie Ross, to keep feeding themselves to those horrid monsters, Jumbo Larson and Macnab, so what did they do but move up 'Jack' Johnson and Macnamara.
I pride myself on being practical," answered Mrs Clagget. "I prefer eating them myself to allowing the dolphins to have them for their supper." Jumbo, the cook's mate, seemed to be of Mrs Clagget's opinion, for in an instant he was among the poor fish, tumbling them into his bucket as fast as he could pick them up. "That's a wise lad," observed the loquacious lady.
Ring attendants rushed forward to obey his command, but they might as well have tried to stop a tornado. Jumbo eluded them without the least trouble, but their efforts to keep out of range of his flying hoofs were not so easy. Some of them had narrow escapes from being seriously injured. Mr.
Grace, who was far more timid than Emily, had stood transfixed, as it were, to the ground, unable to advance or fly. The rest of the party now came up, and a blow from Dick's hatchet deprived the mias of life. "I suppose he good for dinner," observed Potto Jumbo, surveying him. "I cut steak out of him before we go away." "Out on you for a cannibal!" exclaimed Tarbox, with a look of horror.
I wonder where that poor fool, Philotas, and our friend Jumbo, are now?" The remembrance of the two last personages made us both burst out a laughing. "Timothy, I've been reflecting that my intimacy with poor Carbonnell has rather hindered than assisted me in my search.
To pick up one person was difficult, but to take up three the risk was far greater. "You go first!" cried Potto Jumbo, as the boat approached. "No, no," I said; "let Oliver be taken in. He is almost drowned as it is." We could see the boat's bows almost above us. It seemed as if the next instant she would come down like a huge hammer upon our heads.
"Hear, hear," cried Ogilvie; "and I should like to know what is to be done with Brand and Anson, for they are both very much down with fever of some sort this morning." "Leave Jumbo with them," said Tom Brown; "he's better at nursing than hunting. By the way, was it not he who nursed the native that died last night in the kraal?"
Belamour then begged of her, if she were not weary, to favour him with the Nightingale Song, Jumbo as usual accompanying her with his violin. At the close there was again a "Bravo! Truly exquisite!" in a tone as if the hermit were really finding youth and life again. Once more at his request, she sang, and was applauded with even more fervour, with a certain tremulous eagerness in the voice.
The groups of ragged children playing in the dusty road, scurry out of the path of the horses. On the hillside to the left stands the Jumbo Breaker, the largest coal crusher in the world. Its rambling walls rise to a height of several hundred feet up a steep incline. The noise of the machinery within can be heard distinctly from the roadway.
