The company of players remained in St. Augustine several days, and many fine films resulted, the scenery lending itself particularly well to the camera. One act in a play took place at the alligator "farm," on Anastasia Island. There Ruth and Alice saw 'gators in all stages, from tiny ones just emerging from the shell, to big fourteen-foot ones regular "man-eaters" they were told.
The captain was not half so proud of his success as was his admiring son. "I thought all the sharks were man-eaters," said Lulu. "No, the sand-sharks are not." "Did everybody catch a man-eater?" "No; nobody but papa took a full-grown one. Grandpa Dinsmore and Uncle Edward each caught a baby one, and all of them took big fellows of the other kind.
All the time of its burning, the sound of the battle towered out of the wood; the wizards and the man-eaters hard at fight; the wizards, the viewless ones, roaring out aloud like bulls upon a mountain, and the men of the tribe replying shrill and savage out of the terror of their souls.
And what about Hassan? He has passed this way, and made his sign at the village where we left the old Arab." "The Arab thief comes up the little river with many canoes and the whole pack of man-eaters. So we three will get into the shining canoe, if the great one wills, and make good the time before sunrise." "The boat is ready." Muata called.
We shall return in safety, and probably have been of service to these poor people, by getting rid of their savage enemies." "Oh! let us accompany you," cried Leo and Natty. "We will take care of Stanley," said Leo; "so do not be afraid, Kate." "Thank you; but the man-eaters might carry one of you off," answered Stanley; "so I must decline your company.
"I had only a short distance to go, and I no longer feared the presence of man-eaters there was not likely to be another. Hours afterwards, O'Donnell, when I lay in my hammock as safe as a fortress, I fancied I heard the dead man's cry, fancied I heard his curse. No one was more devoted to a wife than I was to mine.
She had no secrets from me and I soon learned of her expectations; but it was not the prospect of the Redmayne money that shortened her uncles' lives. Jenny and I were never man-eaters; and, while my youthful experience in murder attracted her and increased her admiration for my qualities, it was not at that time in our minds to anticipate events or quarrel with her relations.
As the canoe drew abreast of us, the paddlers chanting a barbaric chorus, there was a sudden swirl in the water and the object which I had taken for a log abruptly dropped out of sight. "A crocodile!" I ejaculated, a little shiver chasing itself up and down my spine. The Doctor nodded. "The river is alive with them," he said. "Man-eaters, too.
Then Jeekie strode up and down among them shouting out: "Little Bonsa has come back and brought to you, Man-eaters, a fat offering, an offering of the dwarf-people whom you hate, of the treacherous dwarf-people who when you walk the ancient forest path, murder you with their poisoned arrows. Praise Little Bonsa who delivers you from your foes, and hearken to her bidding.
Suddenly in the dead of night the two man-eaters burst in among the terrified workmen, and even from my boma, some distance away, I could plainly hear the panic-stricken shrieking of the coolies. Then followed cries of "They've taken him; they've taken him," as the brutes carried off their unfortunate victim and began their horrible feast close beside the camp. The Inspector, Mr.
