I turned to Wan Lee, who was surveying them with a calm satisfaction, and demanded an explanation. To my horror he pointed to an empty mail-bag in the corner, and said, "Postman he say, 'No lettee, John; no lettee, John. Postman plentee lie! Postman no good. Me catchee lettee last night allee same!" Luckily it was still early: the mails had not been distributed.
Not velly wet now. Captain velly closs Ching tumb' overboard?" "No, he hasn't said anything." "Ching velly glad. You go tell captain something?" "What about?" I said. "Ching get lettee flom fliend." "That's right," I said. "How is he?" "Velly glad you catchee pilate." "Oh, he is, is he?" "Yes, velly muchee glad, and send lettee." "Yes, you said so." "Allee 'bout pilates."
"Me allee samee git tee bigger pile of money and um bottle of tanglefoot, so be," answered the Chinaman, quickly getting down to business. "Give me the money!" "You lettee Miss Anna and Missy Eloise go?" Hop went on asking. "Yes, I'll let them go right now." To make good his words he cut the ropes that held them helpless and told the two girls to walk on out.
You velly muchee goodee Chinee; but you no understand, likee me; me allee samee velly muchee smartee, allee samee my uncle in China." "Um uncle in China allee samee dead; git tee head cuttee off for stealee pig!" "Sh!" said Hop, holding up his hand. "My blother mustee not lettee Misler Charlie knowee lat." "Me no care, so be. You allee samee foolee."
"Hip hi!" yelled Hop, as he ran for the mouth of the cave. But the outlaw was just mad enough to run and catch him before he got to the curtain. "Here," said Hop, "me givee you lis. Allee samee diamond ling inside. Lettee poor Chinee go!" It was one of the oblong, little packages that he handed to the man, and, letting the mouse drop, he took it and walked back to those in the big cave.
If they do I will kill Young Wild West, and then take the chances of a siege in the cave." Hop no sooner had his hands free than he said: "You wantee me tellee lat ley mustee git tee velly muchee money, and len you lettee Young Wild West go?" "Yes, that's it. You seem to understand pretty well for a Chinee. You understood enough to clean me out of a couple of hundred dollars last night, too.
If we imagine what must have been the feelings of a d'Espréménil, when a lettee de cachet consigned him to a prison in the Isle d'Hières; or what a man like Burke might have felt, if he had been compelled to retire for life to the Bermudas; we may realize to some extent the heavy trial which now befel the life of Seneca.
"And you think it better to go right up the river?" said Mr Brooke, turning suddenly to join in the conversation. "Yes; pilate junk long way." "How do you know?" He gave a cunning smile at us both, his little eyes twinkling in a singularly sly manner. "You see vegetable boat come along mo'ning?" "Yes, I saw the boat come alongside." "Blought Ching 'nothee lettee, allee same fliend.
Wantee catchee more pilate." "But do you mean your friend knows of these junks sailing?" "Yes." "When did you get the letter?" "Chinese coolie bling lettee in flesh-vegetable boat." "What, this morning?" "Yes, bling lettee." "When are the junks going to sail?" "No know. Keepee watchee and catchee."
He took a piece of paper from somewhere and handed it to me. "You no lead lettee?" I shook my head as I glanced at the queer Chinese characters. "No; what does he say about the pirates?" "Say two muchee big junk in river going to sail, catchee tea-ship, lice-ship, silkee-ship." "Going to sail from here?" I cried. "Yes." "But how does he know?" "Know evelyting. Muchee big man.
