For Waroonga's heart had been opened by the Holy Spirit to receive Jesus Christ, and the consequent flame of love to the souls of his countrymen burned too brightly to be quenched by a first failure.
It may be remarked here that, owing to Waroonga's love for, and admiration of, white men, Zariffa's native tongue was English broken, of course, to the pattern of her parents. "It was a narrow escape, Betsy," said Marie, solemnised by the incident. "Yes, thank the Lord," replied the other, continuing to gaze out to sea long after the cause of her alarm had disappeared. "Oh!
It is the Great Father who has put it into your heart to wish to be a Christian. If you will now take His plan, you will succeed. If you refuse, and try your own plan, you shall fail." "Stay," cried the chief, suddenly laying such a powerful grasp on Waroonga's shoulder, that he winced; "did you not say that part of His plan is the forgiveness of enemies?" "I did."
But, before going, he advised Betsy Waroonga to keep his mother company, as women could not be of much use in such work. "No," said Mrs Waroonga, with decision; "we will go home an' pray." "Right, that will be better," said Orlando. "You go back with her, Ebony, and fetch my gun. I left it in Waroonga's house when I went in for a sack to hold the cocoa-nuts. It is behind the door.
Great, therefore, was Betsy Waroonga's alarm when she missed her one day from her little bed where she should have been sleeping. "Ebony!" cried Betsy, turning sharply round and glaring, "Zariffa's gone." "Quite dead," exclaimed the negro, aghast. "Not at all dead," said Betsy; "but gone gone hout of hers bed." "Dat no great misfortin', missis," returned Ebony, with a sigh of relief.
Tomeo and Buttchee also had begun to regard him as his father's successor. "I would advise you to do nothing," said Orley, in reply to Waroonga's question, "beyond having all the fighting men of the village prepared for action, and being ready at a moment's notice to receive the strangers as friends if they choose to come as such."
"You see, by this plan," he continued, "nothing is presented to the natives which they will be tempted to steal, and if they are very warlike or fierce, Waroonga's refusal to fight reduces them to a state of quiet readiness to hear, which is all that we want. Waroonga's tongue does the rest." "With God's Holy Spirit and the Word," interposed the missionary.
