He did not finish the sentence, but touched his forehead solemnly with his finger. "Does he dwell alone in the mountains?" asked Orlando. "Yes, alone. He lets no one approach him," answered Ongoloo. "Now, Waroonga," said Orlando, "our prayers have been heard, and at least partly answered. But we must proceed with caution.
Zeppa taught them everything, because no one else knew anything, except of course Waroonga, who, however, was not much in advance of his native congregation save in spiritual matters. Zeppa showed them how to burn lime out of the coral-rock, and they gazed with open-eyed and open-mouthed wonder at the process.
As the fire roared and leaped, Waroonga, with Tomeo and Buttchee, started a hymn. It chanced to be one which Zeppa had already taught the people, who at once took it up, and sent forth such a shout of praise as had never before echoed among the palm-groves of that island. It confirmed the waverers, and thus, under the influence of sympathy, the whole tribe came that day to be of one mind!
Now, the question is, whether would it suit your purposes best to land an armed party here, and cross over to the villages, or to sail round the island, drop anchor in the most convenient bay, and land a party there?" Orlando, to whom this was more directly addressed, turned to the missionary. "What think you, Waroonga? You know native thought and feeling best."
I see; the Reverend Mr Gubbins well, what did he say about the bonnet?" "W'at did he say? ah! he say much mor'n I kin remember, an' he look at the bonnet with's head a one side so sad an' pitiful like. `Ah! Betsy Waroonga, ses he, `this just the thing for you. Put it on an' take it to Ratinga, it'll press the natives there." "Impress them, you mean, Betsy." "Well, p'raps it was that.
My chief duty is to obtain information as to the whereabouts of the pirate vessel, and I expect that such information will be got more readily through you, Waroonga, than any one else, for, besides being able to speak the native language, you can probably approach the savages more easily than I can." "They are not savages," returned Waroonga quietly, "they are God's ignorant children.
He lived to prove the genuine nature of his conversion, and to assist Waroonga in his good work. As it is just possible that some reader may doubt the probability perhaps even the possibility of such a change, we recommend him to meditate on the fact that Saul of Tarsus, the persecutor, became Paul, the loving Apostle of the Lord.
It is true there were large proportions of brown humanity presented to view such as arms, legs, necks, and chests, but these were picturesquely interspersed with striped cotton drawers, duck trousers, gay guernseys, red and blue flannel petticoats, numerous caps and straw hats as well as a few coal-scuttles though none of the latter could match that of Betsy Waroonga for size and tremulosity.
"Your story is not new to us," said Ongoloo, addressing the missionary, but gazing at Orlando, "it comes to us like an old song." "How so?" exclaimed Waroonga, "has any one been here before with the grand and sweet story of Jesus and His love."
In this position he got his legs easily into the trousers and drew them on, but when he stood up to complete the operation, it was found that they were very much too small for him, besides which he had put them on with the back to the front! "Ah! my friend, they do not fit," said Waroonga, thinking it unnecessary to refer to the error. "I will find a larger pair for you in the store.
