There appears some difficulty and contradiction in regard to the river discovered by Nuna Tristan, from the vague name of Rio Grande.
It is tantalising to have her so near, and yet not to be able to go and see her." Burnett thought Reginald's plan a very good one, and was sure that Nuna would be delighted with it. So occupied had Reginald been since the death of the rajah, that he had been unable to write to Colonel Ross, who might possibly be still ignorant of who he was. For the same reason he had not as yet written to Violet.
On receiving this startling intelligence, Reginald seized Nuna in his arms and bore her down the hill, Buxsoo keeping by his side, while Dick and Sambro brought up the rear to cover their retreat. "I wish, Sambro, that you had had a musket or a brace of pistols, and we would have kept the enemy at bay till our masters had carried off the young lady out of danger," exclaimed Dick.
Nuna paused from incapacity to describe, for Eskimos, being unable to comprehend large numbers, are often obliged to have recourse to illustration. "Listen," continued Nuna, holding up a finger; "if all the whales we catch in a year were to be cooked, they would not feed the people of their largest village for one day!"
And I saw, next to an inflatable globe, written on a small piece of paper, the name of the chariot: "Sunped I, a solar electric/human powered vehicle." Below that I saw the name of the quest: "Tour Del Mundo." I was starting to realize that by leaving Rama's dream, I had gotten back my world. Nuna rode shotgun in the passenger seat, I turned the key and it started.
Violet promised to do her best; and she and Nuna, greatly to Reginald's satisfaction, were soon as intimate as if they had been acquainted all their lives. For several weeks matters went on quietly at Allahapoor.
"But the men will be angry," suggested the mother of Ippegoo. "Let them be angry bo-o-o!" returned the reckless Kabelaw. "Nunaga," said Nuna, looking eagerly over the side, "there goes another a big one; poke it." Nunaga poked it, but missed, and only brought up a small flat-fish, speared by accident.
In the year 1447, Nuna Tristan made another voyage to the coast of Africa; and, advancing beyond Cabo dos Mastos, or the Cape of Masts, so named from some dead palms resembling masts, seen there by Lançarot, who made this discovery in the former voyage, Nuna Tristan proceeded southwards along the coast of Africa, 180 miles beyond Cape Verd, where he reached the mouth of a river which he called Rio Grande, or the Large River, since called Gamber, Gambra, or Gambia.
Being much fatigued with his recent exertions, Red Rooney turned into Okiok's hut, to the great sorrow of the women and children, who had gathered from all parts of the village to gaze at and admire him. "He is real and alive!" remarked Kunelik in a low voice. "And Nuna is not a liar," said the mother of Arbalik. "Yes; he is tall," said one. "And broad," observed another.
"Now, sir, you go down by the rope, and take care of the young lady," said Dick, "and I will make the black find his way down by the ladder." Before Reginald had reached the bottom, Buxsoo had released Nuna, who expressed her thankfulness at finding Reginald by her side. "We must wait for our two followers before we take to flight," he said.
