"What know I of Sir Thurstan? Young sir, I am a man of Cornwall, and my name it is Pharaoh Nanjulian. They know me in Marazion. I have been on a venture to the North Seas plague take it, there is naught but ice and snow there, with white bears twenty feet long " "List to him!" said someone in the crowd. "I will show thee the white bear's trick, an' thou doubtest me. But to proceed.
I fancied I could see a black robe disappearing amongst the trees, but though I waited a few moments I saw no further signs of a human being. I returned to Pharaoh Nanjulian and woke him up. He was sound asleep when I touched him, but started to his feet as soon as I laid my hand on his shoulder.
But somehow, after a brief defeat, his ennui returned. Then of a sudden, one night at bed-time, he bethought him of the musical box, and that John Peter Nanjulian needed hurrying-up.
But ere he could strike again Pharaoh Nanjulian had seized him by the neck, and Captain Manuel Nunez was dragged into the light, dispossessed of his weapons and bound securely. I stood and looked at him, and suddenly the fierce scowl of hate and rage cleared away from his features, and the old mocking, cold smile began to play about the corners of his eyes and mouth again.
I hoped that he really thought so, and that he had no idea of the thoughts within me. I was ready enough to talk when Pharaoh Nanjulian gave the signal. It came at last as he stood at the wheel one night, and I stood near, apparently idling away my time. "Now, master," said he, "continue looking over the side and I will talk. I have found out where we are going." "Well?"
But afterwards, when father rowed us home, we did not like to tell him about it. We were afraid he would laugh at us; and we were frightened, too; afraid that the mermaid had been hurt; and and we were upset because father had brought the boat for us instead of Jan Nanjulian " "But most of all," put in Linnet, "I was upset because I had been saying that there were no such things."
So I said farewell to him and his company, and begged them to remember me if we should meet no more, and then I went to find Pharaoh Nanjulian. "Pharaoh," said I, when I came upon him on the deck of the Golden Hinde, "I am going home." He pushed back his cap and scratched his head and looked at me. "Aye," he said, "I supposed it would be so, master. As for me, I have no home to go to.
But as God would have it, it befell to Pharaoh Nanjulian and to me, that as we were being led across the market-square by our guards, there came up to us the old gentleman whom we had saved from highwaymen on the road to Oaxaca. He seemed vastly surprised to find us in that unhappy condition, and insisted with some slight show of authority on our guards allowing him to speak with us.
He looked at me and smiled, and then I saw that it was Pharaoh Nanjulian. "You have not forgotten me, master?" he said. "Forgotten thee! May God forget me if ever I forget thee, my old, true friend!" I said, and I led him in and made him welcome as a king to my house and to all that I had.
Already there is talk of an expedition against the Spaniards. That is the life for me." So there was no more to be said, and I gave him my hand sorrowfully, for he had proved a true friend. "Good-bye, then, Pharaoh Nanjulian." "Good-bye, master. We have seen some rare ventures together. I thank God for bringing us safely out of them." "Amen! I shall not forget them or thee.
