"And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord, saying, Is the Lord among us, or not?" Under such conditions it was vital to Moses to show resolution and courage; but it was here that Moses, on the contrary, flinched; as he usually did flinch when it came to war, for Moses was no soldier.
"By golly, dat's great!" cried Aleck, from the deck. "I dun' t'ink a lot ob eels was dancin' a jig down dar!" "Come down here, Aleck, and get some of the black washed off!" shouted Tom, gleefully. "Not fo' a dollah, Massah Tom leasewise, not while yo' is around." "What are you afraid of?" asked Tom, innocently. "Yo' is too full ob tricks fo' dis chile.
And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not? Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim. And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.
"Yes, Aleck, you were wise in keeping them in ignorance. But I'll have to tell Tom and Sam and the other fellows, and we'll have to keep our eyes open." "Is you' goin' to report dis to de police?" "I may. I'll think it over first. Now, how about the houseboat? Has Captain Starr done as directed?" "Yes, sah." "What kind of a man does he seem to he?" "All right, Massah Dick, only "
Something he heard of burning houses, and ole miss and Snowdon, and Washington; but nothing was real until he caught the name of Alice, and thought Sam said she was there. "Where, Sam where?" he asked, trying to raise himself upon his elbow. "Is Alice here, did you say?" "No, massah; not 'zactly here but on de road.
I'm first-rate, never was better in my life!" And he gave the hand a hard squeeze. "Stop, wot yo' up to, Massah Rober!" roared the waiter, leaping off his feet. "Wot yo' got in yo' hand?" "Why, nothing, Aleck, my boy. Yes, I'm feeling fine. I've gained fifteen pounds, and " "Yo' lemme go, sah-yo' is stickin' pins in my hand!" howled Pop.
Again Aleck had to be told the particulars and again he was tremendously interested. When the boys had finished he sat in silence for several minutes. "I've got it-jest de t'ing!" he cried suddenly. "Got what?" asked Tom. "De right idea, Massah Tom. Foah gen'men like yo' don't want to go to Africa widout a valet nohow. Let me be de workin' man fe de crowd.
"Yes, massah," was Sam's quiet reply, for he understood the reason of this sudden journey. Old Sam pitied Hugh, and after a moment's silence his pity expressed itself in words. Laying his dark hand on Hugh's bowed head, he said: "Poor Massah Hugh. Sam kin feel for you ef he is black. Niggers kin love like the white folks does." "What do you mean? What do you know?"
"De wrack am gwine to be burnt up at las'!" ejaculated Old Ben. "We has got to git out, Massah Jack!" "Come, Marion!" called back the boy. "It's too bad we've got to go out in the rain, but I reckon we can be thankful that our lives have been spared." "Yes, we can be thankful," answered the girl. "Oh, what a dreadful crack that was! I do not believe I shall ever forget it."
The look on his black face showed that he was excited. "Say, Massah Dick, I would like to see yo' in private a minute," he said. "Certainly," replied Dick. "Excuse me," he added, to the others, and went out into the hall with the colored man. "I didn't want fo' to alarm de ladies," explained Aleck. "But I wanted to tell you as soon as I could." "Tell me what, Aleck?"
