He put on the head-dress and war-cloak of the savage; and, taking the barrico on his shoulder, and the spear in his hand, the poles which barred the door were softly removed by William, and after ascertaining that no one was concealed beneath the palisades, Ready pressed William's hand, and set off across the cleared space outside of the stockade, and gained the cocoa-nut trees.

"Lord," quoth he in sobbing breaths, "a good day for thee this lord Duke a good day for Pentavalon a joyous day blessed day for me You'll mind they slew mother and father and sister, lord brother and wife and child? Empty-hearted was I and desolate therefore, but to-day, ha, to-day I die also, methinks.
