The window, as he had seen it before, was wide open to the water-fall just beyond it, and the temperature was piercingly cold and damp. The furniture was of the roughest, and a few of Kitty's clothes lay scattered about.
Speeding on toward the lodge, as he neared the great water-fall, he again repeated the shrill call; this time faint answers reached him from different directions.
Now he was gathering all his strength for the great leap to the top of the water-fall.
They entered the little room, which seemed to be in a glory of light, for the sun striking across the low roof of the inn had caught the foamy water-fall beyond, and the reflection of it on the white walls and ceiling was dazzling. Beside the bed she swayed and nearly fell. "I won't undress," she murmured "I'll just lie down."
Soon after, Wassamo heard a great rumbling and roaring, as of waters tumbling over rocks; and presently, with a vast bluster, and fairly shaking the lodge with his deep-throated hail of welcome to the old Sand-Spirit, in rolled another, who was the Guardian Spirit and special director of a great cataract or water-fall not far off.
"The master is coming to see you, shild," Suan said to me one day, when I had sat up and done my hair, and longed to be down by the water-fall; "if, if too much Inglese old Suan say no more can now." "If I am ready and able and willing! Oh, Suan, run and tell him not to lose one moment." "No sure; Suan no sure at all," she answered, looking at me calmly, as if there were centuries yet to spare.
It is plainly seen that this blow-hole has been closed by human hands. There still remains a little opening through which the water hisses to the height of thirty or forty feet. Kaleikini closed at Kohala, on the shore of Nailima, a volcanic mouth like that of Ka'u. On the heights of Honokane, he silenced the thunders of a water-fall by changing its course.
She recognized me at once, the evil switching of her tail ceased, she half rose; she began to purr, a purr that sounded to me as loud as the roar of a water-fall in a gorge; she took a few steps towards me, then, suddenly, she made a peculiar movement hard to describe, something like the curvetting of a mettlesome colt, but characteristic of a leopard and therefore like the movement of no other animal save a leopard or lion or tiger; she leapt daintily clear of the pavement and struck sideways with her forepaws.
"Why, the fellow is turned lawyer! Above Freshwater." "Where is Freshwater?" "Why, where the water-fall comes over the cliff, half-a-mile from the town. There is a path there up into the forest." "I know. I'll watch there to-night.
The highest swell of this undulating forest was that nearest to the Hut, and it was its elevation only that gave the home-scene the character of a valley. Captain Willoughby's object was to gain the summit of this first ridge of land, which would serve as a guide to his object, since it terminated at the line of rocks that made the water-fall, quite a mile, however, in the rear of the mills.
