But who shall describe the agony of disappointment endured by poor Betsy when she found that Waroonga was not among them? the droop of the spirits, the collapse of the coal-scuttle! Language is impotent. We leave it to imagination, merely remarking that she soon recovered on the faith of the happiness which was yet in store for her.
Ebony ignored the interruption, and continued "So, you see, I dream berry bad mos' drefful dreams! Yes. Well, what I dream was dis. I see Massa Zeppa forced by de pierits to walk de plank " "What's that?" asked Tomeo. Waroonga looked at Ebony for an explanation, and then translated
The explanation that followed left no doubt on Orlando's mind that his father was bereft of reason, and wandering in the neighbouring mountain. If there had been any doubt, it would have been swept away by the chief, who quietly said, "the madman is your father!" "How does he know that Waroonga?" "I know, because there is no difference between you, except years and "
"I fear we are," said Orlando, as he was about to descend the vessel's side. "It was as much as I could do to get Waroonga to agree to let me go with him." "But dis yar nigger kin die in a good cause as well as you, massa," said Ebony, in a tone of entreaty so earnest that the men standing near could not help laughing. "Now then, make haste," sang out the officer in charge of the boat.
But, I do b'lieve myself, dat part of it means dat Zeppa hims git on an island, anyhow." "If my dear father got upon anything, it must have been an island," said Orlando sadly.

Waroonga was not much depressed by this failure. He knew that truth would prevail in time, and did not expect that the natural enmity of man would be overcome at the very first sound of the Gospel.
With this cheering remark the worthy negro, seizing the chiefs each by a hand, half constrained, half assisted them to rise, and helped them to stagger to the quarter-deck, where they were greeted by Orlando, Captain Fitzgerald, Waroonga, and the missionary. "Come, that's right," cried the captain, shaking the two melancholy chiefs by the hand, "glad to see you plucking up courage.
Tomeo looked at Buttchee with a grin and nodded, as though he thought the mode of execution rather a good one; then, recollecting suddenly that any mode of slaying innocent men was inconsistent with his character as a convert to Christianity, he cast a glance of awful solemnity at Waroonga, and tried to look penitent.
But try this coat. It is the kind worn by the white man when he goes to see his friends. It will be much easier to put on, I think." So saying, Waroonga produced a blue surtout with bright brass buttons. "No," said Tomeo, drawing himself up with dignity, and putting the garment aside, "I do not require it. Has not a coat of skin been given to me? I want no other."
