For the first few days of their stay on what they styled Pirate Island, our castaways were too much taken up with the wondrous and varied contents of the robbers' cave, and the information Meerta and Letta had to give, to pay much regard to the island itself, or the prospect they had of quitting it.
"You hungry hungry?" asked the old woman, with a sudden gleam of hospitality. "Come come me gif you for heat." She took Robin by the hand and led him towards a cavern, the mouth of which had not been visible higher up the mountain. Sam followed, led by Letta. The interior of the cavern was lofty and the floor level.
"That's so, Robin," said Sam, still turning over the leaves of his note-book, "and we had some magnificent experiments or illustrations at the fete, which go far to prove the truth of your remark experiments which were so beautiful that they would have made the eyes of Letta sparkle even more gorgeously than they are doing at present, if she had seen them."
May I come to see you?" Presenting this to his friend, Sam said, "May I despatch it?" Robin nodded, smiled, and looked foolish. An hour later Mrs Langley, sitting beside her daughter, took up a pen, and wrote as follows: "From Miss Letta Langley, Oban, to R. Wright, London. Yes." Presenting this to her daughter, she said. "May I send it?"
"There, it's all safe now," said Sam, as he locked the heavy door and thrust the key in his pocket; "and I will take care of your treasures for you in future, old lady." "Wass you frighted?" asked the old woman with a low laugh, in which even Letta joined.
Anyhow, the fact is unquestionable that it held him fast until he was fished up dead by the electricians and engineers." "How strange!" murmured Letta. "It is indeed," responded Robin, "the most extraordinary case I ever heard of, though cables are subject to many singular accidents. I remember one case of accident to the cable across the river Yar, in the Isle of Wight.
However, we'll find out before long. Now then, good-bye, I'll be back soon." He shook hands with Letta at Mr Wright's house, she and her mother having agreed to reside there until Robin's return home. Wending his way through the streets until he reached one of the great arteries of the metropolis, he got into a 'bus and soon found himself on the banks of the Thames.
Each of the boys in the meantime had his purse in his hand, and they were holding a hurried and whispered conversation which ended by them taking twenty cents from each purse, ten for Letta and ten for Peter, who received it with smiling faces.
"Letta," said Robin, settling the child more comfortably on his knee an attention which she received with a sigh of deep contentment, "are the people here kind to you?" "Yes, very kind. Old Meerta is as kind to me almost as mamma used to be, but I don't love her so much not nearly so much, and blind Bungo is a dear old man." "That's nice. And the others are they kind to you?" "What others?
Moreover, he took Letta with him, and he hunted many a day through the jungles of that land in company with his friend Redpath, and his henchman Flinn. And, long afterwards, he returned to England, a sturdy middle-aged man, with a wife whose beauty was unabated because it consisted, chiefly, in that love of heart to God and man which lends never-fading loveliness to the human countenance.
