"Ay, ay, sir!" and a cheer broke out from the men hurrying aft. "Help! help!" came in a sharp wail. "No cut tow-chang! No cut tow-chang!"
"Shoot bird now," said Ching, in answer to an inquiring look from Mr Brooke. "Yes; but do you think the junks are up here?" "Oh yes, velly quite su'e. Plenty eye in boat watchee see what Queen Victolia offlicer going to do uppee river." "What does he mean?" said Mr Brooke, who was puzzled by this last rather enigmatical speech.
I followed his example, and Ching smiled. "Velly good thing," he said. "Now pilate fliend, see jolly sailor boy, and say Come killee duck-bird, goose-bird to make nicee dinner, not come catchee catchee pilate." "You hear what this man says, my lads?" said the young lieutenant, addressing the men. "Ay, ay, sir." "Then you understand now that we have not only come up to shoot?" "Ay, ay, sir."
Perhaps we might engage you to stay with us!" "Me cook velly fine much all timee. You tly Charley Moi, you never say solly do samee!" declared the Oriental, his moon-like face illuminated with a childlike and bland smile. "But we want you for a guide too, Charley; you ought to know a heap about the place by this time," Frank went on. "Alle light, me do," replied the other, glibly.
"Velly special chop!" He passed from bunk to bunk, and presently came to a comatose Chinaman from whose limp hand, which hung down upon the floor, the pipe had dropped. This pipe Ah-Fang-Fu took from the smoker's fingers and returning to the box upon which the tin lamp was standing began calmly to load it. "Good heavens!" muttered Stuart "he is short of pipes! Pah! how the place reeks!"
"No make, hully walkee velly slow over lit' blidge," ping, ping, ping, ping, pang, pang. The little bridge was just behind us, and I grasped all he said that we were to go slowly over the bridge and walk round the back of the house, while he would go round the front and meet us on the other side.

"It's all right, Mary," said I. "Boss, Coon Dogs come, velly quick. I know." Did he really know? What subtle instinct warned him of the approach of danger? Who can answer such questions?

"We have no blue, and the white must do." "Velly well." "That point is settled, then. Now, then, about their heads." "Cut hair all off, and glow pigtail." "That would take years, my man, and I wanted them ready to-morrow."
He tried to get out of his high chair, exclaiming angrily, "Let me get at her to box her!" Jan held him down with one hand while she wiped away the offending mess with the other, and all the time Tony cried in crescendo, "Let me get at her!"
