"Here, I say, Taloi," broke in Tom, good-humouredly, "just go easy a bit with Ted. As for him a-looking at any of the girls here, I knows better and so do you." Taloi's laugh, clear as the note of a bird, answered him, and then she said she was sorry, and the lines around Pallou's rigid mouth softened down.
"Business goes well," he wrote, "but Taloi is ill; I think she will die. You will find everything square, though, when you come." But I was never to see that particular island again, as the firm sent another vessel in place of ours to get Pallou's produce. When the captain and the supercargo went ashore, a white trader met them, with a roll of papers in his hand. "Pallou's stock-list," he said.
From the earnest manner of old Tom and the sullen gloom that overspread Pallou's face, I could discern that some anxiety possessed them. At last Tom addressed me. "Look here, , Ted here is in a mess, and we've just been a-talkin' of it over, and he says perhaps you'll do what you can for him." The half-caste turned his dark eyes on me and looked intently into mine. "What is it, Tom?"
'Sakker! again, and Frenchy whips out his pistol and nearly blows Pallou's face off'n him; and then, afore he knows how it was done, Ted sends his knife chunk home into the other fellow's throat. The two native sailors runned away ashore, and Pallou and Taloi takes the oars and pulls out again until they drops.
