"Only I have my lanterrne and collecting-box, and come down the river to catch specimens of the beautiful moth for the naturalists at home in France. I land from my boat, and the boat come to take me away; but your sentry man re-fuse to let me go." "Collecting lantern!" said the Captain. "Yes, sir. Look. I fear my beautiful specimens are spoiled in the pannier here. He use me very bad."
"Yes; and if you come when the sun shines, with a net, you can catch lots." "Yes; and I come at night. I put sugar on the trees. The foolish moths fly round to eat; and then I open this little lanterrne, which is not burning now, and then I see to catch the beautiful moths." As Smithers's visitor spoke, he tapped the dimly seen tin case slung under his right arm.
I shall go down to the pier, and call out to my men, `Ahoy! and then go into the water and swim till they pick me up and put me in a dry place in the boat. Now, what do you say to that?" "Only this, mister. What do you think your men, if they come, will pick up?" "Me myself, sir, with my butterfly moths and my little lanterrne." "Ho!" said Smithers dryly. "And what about the crocs?"
