Some time before, he had been to blame in a collision with another steamer on the river Yarra. The Marine Board at Melbourne suspended his certificate for six months, but his employers, I was told, held him in such esteem that during that time he went on his own ship as purser, until he could resume command.
During the last few hours the idea of inducing Lucy Woodrow to visit him there in the Bush had been stirring in Ryder's mind, and he reckoned upon turning his wound to good advantage. For the troopers he had the greatest contempt, and his confidence in Yarra was absolute.
"It is early, I know, Ka'ruchaya, and everyone is curious " "As curious as we are about any candidate's experiences," Yarra agreed. "Still, I am sure further questions can wait until tomorrow." Tarlac gave her a grateful smile. "Thanks, Ka'ruchaya. I am pretty tired, and I've been looking forward to a sleeping mat. I could use a long, hot shower, too."
Time to pour him, as I promised, into bed." He stooped, picked up the slightly-built man with no difficulty, and turned to Yarra. "I think he'd better sleep in the infirmary tonight, Ka'ruchaya." "I agree. And tell the nurse to let him sleep until he wakes by himself. The Supreme has said he and the First Speaker will wait until Steve is ready to see them." "They do him much honor."
The only human creature about Boobyalla in whose company he seemed to be quite at home was Yarra, the half-caste aboriginal boy, scandalously reputed in the neighbourhood not without excellent reason, it must be admitted to be his own son.
Yarra returned his greeting, then said, "We have a new ruesten, Cor'naya?" "Yes, Ka'ruchaya. Esteban Tarlac, called Steve." Hovan gave her a brief yet complete account of everything that had happened since Steve had come aboard, finishing, "He has much to learn, Ka'ruchaya, and he may make mistakes, but he is true Ch'kara. He will not dishonor the clan."
He gave no sign of emotion, but leaned forward and spoke in a low voice to Yarra. 'You remember, Yarra, what I have told you. Trooper fellow come now, maybe. He added a few words in the aboriginal tongue. 'Go quick! he said. There was a wait of some minutes, during which Ryder sat sipping at his drink, apparently entirely unconscious of anything but the singing.
Any honor I bring the clan is no more than repayment for the honor I was given in being adopted." That response clearly pleased both Yarra and Hovan. They were on Ch'kara property now, so in-clan; neither had any hesitation in embracing Steve, even before going inside. And Tarlac returned the gesture just as eagerly, able to use his full strength as they dared not.
In spite of the climate, the Botanical Gardens are an admirable specimen of what may be effected by the skill of man. These gardens are on the south side of the river Yarra. On a hill in the centre of them is built the Government House. There are seen many varieties of trees and plants all carefully labelled. The fern tree bower is very ingenious.
Mine die alonga that pfeller! meaning that he would cheer fully have given his life for Ryder, which was a great deal, coming from the child of an undemonstrative race. Yarra had been ordered by Mrs. Macdougal to consider himself Mr.
