Here Corrie broke down, and in order to change the subject abruptly he rolled round towards Poopy, and cried with considerable asperity "What on earth d'ye mean, Kickup, by wriggling about your black body in that fashion? If you don't stop it you'll fetch way down the hill, and go slap over the precipice, carrying Alice and me along with you. Give it up now, d'ye hear?"
She by some mischance had got separated from her young mistress, and immediately went in search of her. She found her at once of course, for, as water finds its level, so love finds its object without much loss of time. "O Toozle; hee! hee! am dat you?" exclaimed Poopy, who was as much delighted in her way to see the dog as Alice had been.
"P'raps not," suggested Poopy, with a look of deep wisdom, as she gazed on the upturned face. "Anyhow, we must haul him out of the water," said Corrie, whose chest heaved with the effort he made to repress his tears. Catching up one of Bumpus's huge hands, the boy ordered Alice to grasp the other.

Now, good reader, this may be all very well for us to describe, and for you to read, but it was a terrible thing for Poopy to witness. Being bound hand and foot she was compelled to look on; and, to say truth, she did look on with uncommon interest.
"Then it's all up with him!" said Bumpus; "and the pirate will meet his doom, as I once heard a feller say in a play though I little thought to see it acted in reality." "So he will," added Dick Price. Corrie's countenance fell, and Alice grew pale, Even Poopy and Toozle looked a little depressed. "No; it is not all up with him," cried Henry Stuart, energetically.
"I did not hear such names mentioned, but Henry spoke of a wounded nigger." "Ay, they're all a set of false rascals together," said Corrie. "Niggers ob dis here settlement is good mans, ebery von," said Poopy, promptly. "Hallo! Kickup, wot's wrong? I never heard ye say so much at one time since I came to this place." "Niggers is good peepils," reiterated the girl.
"Be it so," he said, lowering his head and sitting down on a carronade, in order to avoid the gaze of those who surrounded him. While this was being done, the youthful Corrie was in the fore-part of the schooner whispering eagerly to Alice and Poopy. "O Alice, I've seen him!" exclaimed the lad. "Seen who?" inquired Alice, raising her pretty little eyebrows just the smallest morsel.
He had made an attempt to comfort her one night on the voyage to the Isle of Palms, when she and Poopy and he were left alone together; but he failed.
"Ha! that shows you're a I mean, d'ye see, that the difficulty lies here; my elbows are lashed so fast to my side that I can't use them to prop me up; but if Poopy will roll down the hill to my side, and shove her pretty shoulder under my back when I raise it, perhaps I may succeed in getting up. What say you, Kickup?" "Hee! Hee!" laughed the girl, "dat's fuss rate. Look out!"
