The breed shook his head. "No. De money can't buy w'at I wan'." "What do you want?" Again came the twisted smile. "Mebbe-so we eat de suppaire firs'. I got som' feesh. We buil' de fire an' cook 'um." The meal was eaten in silence, and during its progress Wentworth in a measure recovered his nerve.
Having finished this to his liking, he turned before they made the second trip on the Jaybird and her cargo. "Don't we catch any of those feesh?" he asked Alex, nodding back at the lake. "Fish?" asked John. "I didn't see any fish." "Plenty trout," said Moise. "I s'pose we'll better catch some while we can." "Yes," said Alex, "I think that might be a good idea.
There are thousands of them, so I learned." "All stay here?" "Some will, but many will go up river, and settle on the land." "Ugh! too many white men dere now. Chase Injun, kill moose, ketch feesh. Injun all starve." "Don't you worry about that," Dane replied. "These are all King George's people, so they will treat the Indians right."
A British seaman, having nothing to do but smoke and meditate, was seated on a coil of rope at the time, enjoying himself and the smells with which that port is not unfamiliar. He chanced to be a friend of that French fisherman. "You're early afloat, Mounseer," he said. "Oui, monsieur. Vill you com'? I go for feesh." "Well, wee; I go for fun."
'It will be a great feesh, said the old man, returning to his oars; and nothing more could I get out of him, but strange glances and an ominous nodding of the head. In spite of myself, I was infected with a measure of uneasiness; I turned also, and studied the wake. The water was still and transparent, but, out here in the middle of the bay, exceeding deep.
Though the greater part of the journey lay through deep, drifting sand, the soil in places was hard and stony, and here the babul tree and feesh palm grew freely, also a pretty star-shaped yellow flower, called by Baluchis the "jour." This plant is poisonous to camels, but, strangely enough, harmless to sheep, goats, and other animals.
Broad deep swamps alternating with tracts of sandy desert, with nothing to relieve the monotonous landscape but occasional clumps of "feesh," a stunted palm about three feet in height, and rough cairns of rock erected by travellers to mark the pathway where it had become obliterated, sufficiently describes the scenery passed through for the first three days after leaving Beïla.
Early the next morning he found an excellent camping-spot, and took Jean over to see it. "Good camp here," he told her. "Plenty tree, plenty wood." "Will you help those people to build new lodges?" she asked. "A-ha-ha, Sam help." "And can you get more meat? Perhaps you can shoot a moose." "Sam get feesh bimeby. Kai-u-hus, mebbe." "What is that?" "All sam' rat. Swim in water, build house."
"I seed en cast forth a net, same as us does for macker'l, but 'twas sawls, not feesh, they dragged in the bwoat; but braave an' few of 'em. The devil's nets was the full wans, 'cause " At this moment Thomasin came in, saw a man by Mr. Tregenza, but did not realize who had returned until she struck a light.
They tuk their satisfaction out av that, an' ut all came av not keepin' the crew and the rum sep'rate in the first place; an' confusin' Skibbereen wid 'Queereau, in the second. Counahan the Navigator, rest his sowl! He was an imprompju citizen!" "Once I was in the Lucy Holmes," said Manuel, in his gentle voice. "They not want any of her feesh in Gloucester. Eh, wha-at? Give us no price.
