"What the devil do you mean?" Heyst was genuinely amazed. "Don't like what?" Wang pointed a long lemon-coloured finger at the motionless folds. "Two," he said. "Two what? I don't understand." "Suppose you savee, you no like that fashion. Me savee plenty. Me go now." Heyst had risen from his chair, but Wang kept his ground in the doorway for a little longer.
The shores, the islets, the high ground, the low points, were dark: the horizon had grown somber; and across the eastern sweep of the shore the white obelisk, marking the landing-place of the telegraph-cable, stood like a pale ghost on the beach before the dark spread of uneven roofs, intermingled with palms, of the native town. Captain Whalley began again. "Sofala. Savee So-fa-la, John?"
He contented himself with a cynical remark which fired the other's volcanic temper so that he could scarcely hold his hand. "Me good to her," he said, with a shrug. "You wus good to her, wus you? You who knew her man wus livin'! You, as mebbe has ha'f a dozen wives livin'. You wus good to her! Wal, you're goin' to pay now. Savee?
But you didn't know them darned dirty I-talyans as I did, mister; so, as the song has it, 'kick at troubles when they come, boys, and we'll set up a four-handed camp of our own, and take the shine out of everywhere. You've got the tucker and I've got the 'armony, and we've all got the savee of white men and the grit of miners. Come along, boys; there's no malice on my side."
Say, ther's mighty hard diggin' to be done right now, an' the feller as does it has got to do it standin' right up to the job. Savee? I'm sayin' right now to you, Tresler, them weeds is chokin' the life out o' her. She's mazed up wi' 'em. Ther' ain't no escape. None. Her life's bound to be hell anyways." "Her? Whom?"
"Look," said the ex-blackbirder, laying a finger on the chiefs arm and speaking in a low voice, "these two white men on board the yacht have got any amount of money, gold, sovereigns boxes and boxes of it They stole it; I know they stole it, although I didn't see them do it." Banderah nodded his huge, frizzy head. "I savee. These two fellow rogue, all same you an' me."
"That'll do fer you, Raw; mebbe you ain't got savee, an' don't know a leddy when you sees one. I'm a cow-hand, an' good as any man around here, an' ef you've any doubts about it, why " "Don't take no notice, Arizona," put in a lank youth quickly. He was a tall, hungry-looking boy, in that condition of physical development when nature seems in some doubt as to her original purpose.
In spite of his drunken condition, his words were distinct enough, though his voice was thick. After all, as he said, it was his legs that had given way. "Guess you're that blazin' 'tenderfoot' Tresler," he said, with all the sarcasm he was capable of at the moment. "Wal, say, Mr. a'mighty Tresler, ef it wa'n't as you wus a 'tenderfoot, I'd shoot you fer sayin' I wus drunk. Savee?
"Say, boy," he observed, "that's the barn yonder. 'Fore we git ther' ther's jest one thing more. Jake's goin' to play his hand by force. Savee? Mebbe we've a notion o' that force Miss Dianny an' me " "Yes, and we must think this thing thoroughly out, Joe. Developments must be our cue. We can do nothing but wait and be ready. There's the sheriff " "Eh? Sheriff?"
You ain't like the white Injun, Nevil Steyne, who's bin Black Fox's wise man so long. After he'd fixed the mischief he gits around to us an' turns on the Indians. He's fought with us. An' he's goin' to fight with us to-morrow. He's a traitor to the Indians. You belong to the whites, and you come to help us when you can. Now, see here. You're goin' to make north hard as hell 'll let you, savee?
