"Marge, you must creep back to the cabin!" "I am going to stay with you, Sakewawin. See, I will flatten myself out like this with Baree." She snuggled herself down against the rock and again David peered from his ambush. Their pursuers were well over the crest of the dip, and he counted nine.
He said nought, but as the boat's- head whispered among the reeds and long flowers of the opposite marge, he took Shibli Bagarag by the shoulders and pushed him out of the boat, and leaped out likewise, leading him from the marge forcibly, hurrying him forward from it, he at the heels of the youth propelling him; and crying in out-of-breath voice at intervals, 'What sight? what sight? But the youth was powerless of speech, and when at last he opened his lips, the little man shrank from him, for he laughed as do the insane, a peal of laughter ended by gasps; then a louder peal, presently softer; then a peal that started all the echoes in Aklis.
"I wanted to gif you the other handt, too, but I gafe it to your gountry a goodt while ago." "To my country?" asked March, with a sense of pain, and yet lightly, as if it were a joke of the old man's. "Your country, too, Lindau?" The old man turned very grave, and said, almost coldly, "What gountry hass a poor man got, Mr. Marge?"
But upon men and beasts the sun sent a drowsiness. The river monsters along the river's marge lay dormant in the slime. The sailors pitched a pavilion, with golden tassels, for the captain upon the deck, and then went, all but the helmsman, under a sail that they had hung as an awning between two masts.
High over the marge of the horrible deep Hangs and hovers a bridge with its phantom-like span, Not by man was it built, o'er the vastness to sweep; Such thought never came to the daring of man! The stream roars beneath late and early it raves But the bridge, which it threatens, is safe from the waves.
The boats drifted slowly down the stream the torches flared strangely upon the black repose of the water, and upon the long, slim grasses that, weeping, fringed the marge. Upon both banks silent and awe-stricken crowds hastened along, eager and dreading to find the slightest trace of what they sought. Suddenly they came upon a few articles of dress, heavy with the night-dew.

Now as the vapour broke, men began to be able to look about them, and be delivered from their own thoughts. The shores of Salamis were alive,—old men, women, little children,—the fugitives from Attica were crowding to the marge in thousands to watch the deed that should decide their all.
At the confluence, tree- dots, tipping the watery marge, denoted what Barbot calls the "Pongo Islands." It was so called because held by the Mwani-pongo, who was to this region what the Mwani- congo was farther south. The palace was large but very mean, a shell of woven reeds roofed with banana leaves: the people, then mere savages, called their St.
The moorfowl does not cry there, the coney has no habitation. It rolled, that sea so sour, so curdled, from my feet away to mounts I knew by day stupendous and not so far, but now in the dark so hid that they were but troubled clouds upon the distant marge.
