"I dun lub dem Rober boys, aint no ust ter talk," Pop would say. "Dem is de most up-to-date boys in de world, dat's wot, and da did dis yeah niggah a good turn wot he aint forgittin' in a hurry, too." What that good turn was has already been related in full in "The Rover Boys in the Jungle."
The Laning girls were there, and also Dora Stanhope, and Larry, Fred, George, and a host of others, not forgetting Captain Putnam himself, who came upon a special invitation sent by Mr. Anderson Rover. Alexander Pop waited upon the table as usual, his face beaming with pleasure. "Jes tell yo', yo' can't down dem Rober boys nohow," said the colored man to Captain Putnam.
The Rovers were placed in two adjoining apartments, while the natives and Aleck were quartered in an addition of bamboo in the rear. "Keep your eyes and ears open, Aleck," whispered Dick, on separating from the faithful colored man. "And if you find anything wrong let us know at once." "Do you suspect anyt'ing, Massah Rober?" was Pop's anxious question. "I do and I don't.
He was a short, fat fellow, the very embodiment of good nature. "Well, Alexander, if you are at my service, supposing you get me something else to eat beside this bread and milk." "Oh, sah, I couldn't do dat." "Yes, you could. Here is a quarter. Don't you want to earn that?" And Tom held out the silver piece. "Mr. Crabtree Would hab me discharged if he cotched me, Master Rober."
"T'ank yo' fo' dat, Master Rober I'se glad to see dat I'se got one friend " "Three friends, Aleck we all stood up for you," interrupted Tom. "T'ank yo', t'ank yo'!" "And we discovered who the real thief was," added Sam. "Wot, yo' dun found, dat out!" burst out Pop. "An' who was de black-hearted rascal?" "Jim Caven." "Dat cadet wot tried to be funny wid me an' I had to show him his place?
Something in the air seems to tell me that everything is not as it should be." "Dat Frenchman don't look like no angel, sah," and Aleck shook his head doubtfully. "You're right, Aleck, and his wife is a terror, or else I miss my guess." "Dat's right, Massah Rober; nebber saw sech sharp eyes. Yes, I'll look out-fo' my own sake as well as fo' de sake ob Ye and de rest," concluded Aleck.
And this compliment tickled the colored man greatly. "T'ank yo' Miss Dora," he answered. "But I don't want to be no chef in a hotel. All I wants to do is to stay wid de Rober boys so long as I lib." During the afternoon the boys tried their hands at fishing and caught quite a mess. By four o'clock Pleasant Hills was reached and they tied up in a convenient spot. All of the girls and Mrs.
"But tell us how you got in that position." "Dat am de queerest part ob it, Master Rober de queerest part of it. I got into de small boat fo' a sleep, and de fust Ving I knowed I was miles an' miles away from eberyt'ing; yes, sah-miles an' miles away on de boundless ocean, an' not so much as a fishin' smack sail in sight. Golly, but wasn't I scared I reckon I dun most turn white!"
I'm first-rate, never was better in my life!" And he gave the hand a hard squeeze. "Stop, wot yo' up to, Massah Rober!" roared the waiter, leaping off his feet. "Wot yo' got in yo' hand?" "Why, nothing, Aleck, my boy. Yes, I'm feeling fine. I've gained fifteen pounds, and " "Yo' lemme go, sah-yo' is stickin' pins in my hand!" howled Pop.
