At that moment there was the sound of joyous shouting from the island, and the ruddy glare of a big fire played through the saloon window. "Boy big eat corroborree," said the black, sadly. "Jack go eat snake? No. Big Dan not shoot, Jackum 'top men' both leggum."
"Hey? Big Dan brokum." "Going to shoot. Powder gun." "Ho!" exclaimed the black, who seemed now to have some idea of there being danger. "Car-ee no 'top. Come 'long shore. Eat snake." "No," said Carey. "You go; I must stop with the doctor." "Doctor not go," said the black, thoughtfully. "Hole in leggum. Jackum won't go. 'Top 'long o' Car-ee."
