"No, maybe not," he answered, after a moment of thought. "They no look for us by land; all by water. We all right. Look! Efaw Kotee have breakfast!" Two men left the dining hall, each bearing a tray of food, and we watched until they entered the rather exclusive house next to the work shop. This without doubt was the old scoundrel's headquarters, but why did he have two trays?
She placed a hand on the woman's shoulder and spoke a few hurried words, then raised her head and looked imperiously at the men, saying: "You shan't hurt any one because Echochee obeys me. Is the punt all you want?" Jess moved uneasily, but there was no trace of embarrassment in the bearing of Efaw Kotee. "No, it's not! We want to cross to you!" "No one comes on this island," she said.
Don't call that fellow your father again, or even Mr. Graham. Smilax and I have a name we'll share with you." "What?" "Efaw Kotee." Her laughter rippled through the wood, as she cried: "How perfectly lovely! I know what it means!" "Then you speak Seminole, Miss Miss but you say it isn't Sylvia?" An expression of happy mischief in her face made it adorable. "No, it isn't Sylvia.
Hoping to reassure Sylvia, I whispered as Smilax would have spoken: "Me friend; come quick!" Above the confusion we could hear the voice of Efaw Kotee bellowing: "Get the punts, you fools! Which way is she?" "On the mainland," someone yelled. "Then catch her," he bellowed again, with a string of blasphemous oaths. This decided her, and she whispered wildly: "Hurry! Take me where Tachachobee said!"
Echochee, supremely content to have found Doloria, remained at her side. Four of the attacking party had escaped and might well have returned to their houses. We favored the theory, too, that Efaw Kotee had remained there, expecting his band to capture us; so, if the fugitives were with him, they could by now have prepared a formidable resistance.
While absorbedly listening, I was struck by the oddity of a girl in this wilderness buying six trunks full of clothes; but it then occurred to me that Efaw Kotee would encourage extravagant buying of all things, when the Orchid visited a city, in order that he might get bona fide change for his spurious bills.
When dark come, me swim to l'il island and give owl call two times, then stop soft in middle. Long 'go in Injun village that mean: 'panther, come quick, gun, Echochee will hear and 'member. Good. Then we talk and fix all up. First we see if Efaw Kotee put out guard."
"That only begins to be him," I declared, with the same glorious contempt for pronouns. "In the prospective waters of Death river I christen him Efaw Kotee, the dog-toad!" But in my heart I offered an apology to the canine family, many of whose sons and daughters have been among my most loyal friends.
His name is Karl Schartzmann, a shrewd, rascally German who vanished after the coup d'état!" "What swindle, Monsieur? what coup d'état? Whom do these belong to?" I was really losing patience; and Tommy murmured: "Jack, didn't it strike you that only a German mind could have conceived that revenge on Efaw Kotee?" "It was certainly true to German form," I admitted, without reluctance.
Well, our account was closed. But of Efaw Kotee there was no clue. I felt sure he was not among those who escaped, simply because he could not have run so fast; and Smilax was certain he did not follow with the chase. Our gruesome task finished, we turned back.
