But Ching not pilate." "Of course. Then there would be no risk. You shall go, but we must find some place where we can hide." "Mis' Hellick help soon makee velly nicee place." "Wait a minute," I said. "Couldn't we climb up on the cliff like you did?" "Yes, Mr Hellick climb, but no cally jolly sailor boy, Tom Jeck, allee way." "No; we must make a place here if we cannot find one."
"Velly good place," said Ching, pointing to where there was a patch of low, scrubby woodland, on either side of which stretched out what seemed to be rice fields, extending to the hills which backed the plain. "Plenty wood makee fire loast goose." I saw a knowing look run round from man to man. "But the pirates would see our fire," I said. "Yes, see fi'; tink allee fish man catch cookee fish."
"Here, who are you calling little officer, Pigtail?" cried Smith indignantly. "Mean young offlicer," cried Ching hastily. "Say, Why you men cut chop young offlicer head off? Mandalin say, Velly solly. He find out who blave was who chop young offlicer head, and give him lichi." "You mean toco?" said Barkins. "No; lichi." "What's lichi?" I said.
"Allee too velly much flighten, and lun away from foleign devil sailor and maline." "But they might have come down to their place here," I said. Ching smiled contemptuously. "Pilate velly blave man, fight gleat deal when allee one side, and know sailor can't fightee. When plenty sailor can fightee, pilate lun away velly fast, and no come back." "Can you understand him, Mr Grey?" I said.
They will take us for a fishing-boat, that's all." By this time the sun was pouring down his beams with scorching violence, and we were glad to give up the tiller to one of the men, and get into the shelter of the cabin, just beyond which we found that Ching was busy at work plucking one of the geese. "Why are you doing that?" I asked. "Velly good to loast." "But we've got no fire."
A Chinaman was asked if there were good doctors in China. "Good doctors!" he exclaimed. "China have best doctors in world. Hang Chang one good doctor; he great; save life, to me." "You don't say so! How was that?" "Me velly bad," he said. "Me callee Doctor Han Kon. Give some medicine. Get velly, velly ill. Me callee Doctor San Sing. Give more medicine. Me glow worse go die.
I took out the stopper and smelt it. "Smell velly good; all nicee." "Why, it smells of peppermint drops," I said carelessly. "Yes, smell beautiful, all peppimint. Velly gleat stlong. Muchee lit' dlop, so."
"Yes; might see Ching flom velly long way topside lock chop. Then think " "Think, yes, of course." "Not allee same you think. See Ching? Yes; see John Chinaman in blue flock allee torn, long tow-chang; that's all." I did not grasp his meaning for a moment. "Oh, I see," I cried at last; "you mean that if they did see you, they would think it was one of their own crew?" "Yes; think one of own clew.
"Me speeke English velly well," the Chinaman said; "me pilot man many years on Canton River. How you get here?" "We were attacking some piratical junks, and landed to destroy the village where the people were firing on us. We entered a place full of pirates, and were knocked down and taken prisoners and carried away up the country; that is six weeks ago, and you see what we are now."
"Goodbye, I won't be long," he called. Then, turning, he saw that the three Chinamen had flat-irons in their hands. They were fitting the handles to them. Ah See handed Marmaduke a fourth iron for himself. "Mellican boy wide on this now, velly caleful," said he. "But how can I ride on such a small iron?" asked Marmaduke. "Watchee and see, Allee samee as me."
