From Orundelico his guests get to know more of those matters about which his former associate, Eleparu, was so reticent, and as they now learn, with good reason. "York bad fella," he answers, on being questioned, "he rob me after Inglis officer leave us all at Woolya. Took 'way my coat, trousers, tools everything. Yes, York very bad man. He no Tekeneeka; him blubber-eating Ailikoleep."
As it chances, he is afflicted with an impediment of speech, in fact, stutters badly, making all sorts of twitching grimaces in the endeavour to speak correctly. Taking advantage of this, the boy Orundelico "blackamoor," as he is being called has so turned the tables on him by successful mimicry of his speech as to elicit loud laughter from a party of sailors loitering near.
Hailed in such fashion, their delight far exceeds their surprise, for Jemmy Button it surely is; Henry Chester and Ned Gancy both recognise him. It is on his side that amazement reaches its maximum height when he recognises them, which he does when his native name, Orundelico, is called out to him. He waits not for the boat to come up, but plunging into the water, swims to meet it.
