How much wiser, how much more proud, is the village of Neufchelles! Not fifty, but only one year has passed since the Germans wrecked Neufchelles, and already it has been rebuilt and repopulated not after the war has for half a century been at an end, but while war still endures, while it is but twenty miles distant!
These repopulated the earth. The Samoans believed that the earth was once covered with water and the sky alone was inhabited, until God sent his only begotten daughter in the form of a kuri, or snipe, to look for dry land. She found a spot, and brought down to it earth, and a creeping plant, which grew and decomposed into worms, and, lo! the worms turned into men and women.
The supercargo, Lee, was not to be blamed, for he told me that once he had taken time in port to capture by poisonous lures a number he calculated at eight thousand, and that within a month those who had escaped had repopulated the old schooner as before. Then he despaired, and let them have sway.
We waited until it showed its thin rim in the heavens, and then, in the softened half-glow, with the purplish shadows deepening between the brown-gray walls of the dead city, I just naturally turned my imagination loose and let her soar. Standing there, with the stage set and the light effects just right, in fancy I repopulated Pompeii.
