Marston and the suffering infants would have in a native boat! On the other hand you can walk you are bent on walking and by going along the coast you can reach Apia in about four days. Give the idea up, Marie, for a month or so, when Malië and some of his people can take you and Mrs. Marston to Apia in comfort in the cutter." Villari turned his dark eyes to Mrs. Raymond
As Villari stood watching the disappearing boat Mrs. Marston, followed by the girl Serena carrying her baby, came on deck. "What is wrong?" she asked anxiously. "Why has the boat gone? What does it mean?" and Yillari saw that she was trembling. "Return to your cabin, Mrs. Marston. No harm shall come to you. To-morrow morning I shall tell you why I have done this."
"He was the first," says Villari, "in the fifteenth century, to make men feel that a new light had awakened the human race; and thus he was a prophet of a new civilization, the forerunner of Luther, of Bacon, of Descartes. Hence the drama of his life became, after his death, the drama of Europe.
At this the excellent professor took the book, but seemed to have something on his mind; and, having glanced through it, he at last said, rather solemnly, ``Yes; VillAri'' accenting strongly the second syllable ``is an admirable writer. I accepted his correction meekly and made no reply.
Francesco Troche had been Alexander's confidential chamberlain and secretary; he had been a diligent servant of the House of Borgia, and when in France had acted as a spy for Valentinois, keeping the duke supplied with valuable information at a critical time, as we have seen. Villari says of him that he was "one of the Borgias' most trusted assassins."
Then followed a long list of stores, trade goods, arms, ammunition, &c, &c, which Raymond wished Frewen to purchase in Sydney, and the letter concluded with a request for him to leave for Samatau as quickly as possible. On a separate sheet he made mention of Villari, saying that he had thoroughly recovered from his wound and was living at Apia.
I may as well tell you that poor Captain Marston, when he was inquiring about you just before he died, spoke in the highest terms of you, and asked Mrs. Marston to see that you were given five hundred pounds." Villari raised himself on his elbow. "I swear to you, Mr. Raymond, that I do not want any money compensation reward gift call it what you will for doing my duty as a seaman.
Raymond, now quite reassured, was at once practical. "We can be ready in a minute, Mr. Villari. I will get little Loisé, and " "Do as quickly as you can and I will tell Mrs. Marston. I preferred letting you know first. She is very nervous, and it will allay her alarm when she finds that you are so cool. The boat is already alongside. Have you any valuables in your cabin? If so, get them together."
In a few minutes he found a sheath knife and belt, which he at once secured, and then again sat down to wait events. Meanwhile Villari was speaking to the mate. "You are quite sure you know the landing-place?" he asked. "Course I do. Didn't I tell you I've been at Loto-fanga half a dozen times? It's right abreast of the passage, and no one couldn't miss it on a clear night like this.
