"Get to your work," Moa told him sharply. He retreated, joining the bustle and confusion which now was beginning on the deck. It struck me could I turn that confusion to account? Would it be possible, now at the last moment, to attack these brigands? Snap still sat outside the radio room doorway. But his guard was alert with upraised projector.
"Do they?" asked Clementina. "I didn't know it." She left him still sitting before the table, and came back with some bank-notes in her hand. "Are you sure you hadn't betta take moa?" she asked. "I think that five dollars will be all that I shall require," he answered, with dignity. "I should be unwilling to accept more. I shall undoubtedly receive some remittances soon."
I don' see no way but ter do some fergittin' myse'f. I'll jes' stan' outside de do' here till dey gits so wrop' up in deir talk dat dey won' 'member nothin' e'se, an' den at de right minute I'll ban' de glasses 'roun, an' moa' lackly de gin'l 'll fergit all 'bout de change."
No giant, but tall for an Earth man almost as tall as myself. Then the tube light in the room illumined the visor. I saw the face, recognized it. Moa! I gasped, "So I've got you Miko " "Got me! You're a fool to the last, Haljan! A fool to the last! But you were always a fool." I could scarcely move in his grip. My arms were pinned.
Salevao, the god of the rocks, observed motion in the moa or centre of the earth. The child was born and named Moa, from the place where it was seen moving. Salevao ordered the umbilicus to be laid on a club, and cut with a stone; and hence the custom ever after on the birth of a man-child. Salevao then provided water for washing the child and made it sa, or sacred to Moa.
"Gregg, I told you once a Martian girl goes after what she wants. It is you I want " Not for me to play upon a woman's emotions! "Moa, you flatter me." "I love you." She held me off, gazing at me. "Gregg " I must have smiled. Abruptly she released me. "So you think it amusing?" "No. But on Earth " "We are not on Earth. Nor am I of the Earth!" She was gauging me keenly.
Merton thought of the volume in M. of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. The volume slowly slid from the shelf, glided through the air to Merton, and gently subsided on the table near him, open at the word Moa. Merton walked across to the bookcase, took all the volumes from the shelf, and carefully examined the backs and sides for springs and mechanical advantages. There were none.
A very persuasive fellow, George Prince. More diplomatic than I am. I give him credit for that." I strove to hold my voice calm. "If I should join you, Miko my word, if I ever gave it, you would find dependable I would say George Prince is very valuable to us. You should rein your temper. He is half your size you might some time, without intention, do him injury." He laughed. "Moa says so.
It was probably so, in both cases; but there is as yet no positive proof of either; and as we know that species of animals lower than those which already existed appeared again and again during the various eras, so it is quite possible that they may be appearing now, and may appear hereafter: and that for every extinct Dodo or Moa, a new species may be created, to keep up the equilibrium of the whole.
In fact, this funny little image was the 'crack' god of the island; lording it over all the wooden lubbers who looked so grim and dreadful; its name was Moa Artua*. And it was in honour of Moa Artua, and for the entertainment of those who believe in him, that the curious ceremony I am about to describe was observed.
