And if I paid him five francs for a camel he would accompany me the whole way, like a brother.

"Well, we goin' to have some'p'n evah night, beginnin' wid Chris'mus night, straight on endurin' of de week, an' I want to separate you all into companies fu' to take chawge of each night.

I don' mean west," returned the negro, with a reciprocal grin; "you couldn't be so mistook as dat but s'pose you'se go souf by mistake?" "Why, then the straits of Magellan would bring us up."
