If we could get him to run up there it would be splendid." "And what about the crocodiles, Bob?" "Eh? Ah! I forgot all about them, sir. Never mind; anywhere 'll do. That's right, sir; lay hold. Strong a'most as a helephant, aren't he? Wo ho! my lad. Don't be in a flurry. Well, I am blest!" One minute they were gliding steadily over the lagoon; the next the rope hung loosely in their hands.
Our dissatisfaction might soon have found words, had not Oscar, from his elevated seat, called vehemently on Smart to stop. "What is it, Sir, a beere or a helephant?" "Go back, Smart, just under that tree. Now then stop, stand steady, while I scramble up here. I thought so, look! look! did you ever see anything so droll."
"Your friend?" said Archie wonderingly. "Yes, sir; the helephant. Can't you see him?" "No," said Archie. "Oh yes, I can see its trunk."
"That ain't the way to drive a helephant away. You are going all wrong, comrade."
We'll lay up a good stock of rations I mean save the fresh and keep on eating the stale, and be all ready for the right morning, and when it comes, nip outside, mount the helephant, and away we will go I mean, that is, if you think that you can creep up same as I do, and lower yourself down from the roof." "I think I could now, Pete." The lad grunted. "What do you mean by that?"
"But we should have to trust to the elephant if we could get him." "Oh, that wouldn't do, sir. We should have trouble enough with it all clear daylight. I've thought it all over till my head won't think, and it's all as clear as crystial. We must wait for morning, when the helephant comes for his titbits before one of these chaps mounts guard, and then slip out and chance it.
I'll only give him wan jist wan! Let me go, will ye?" "Not if I can help it," said Glynn, tightening his grasp. "Wot a cross helephant it is," muttered Rokens, as he thrust his hand into his comrade's neckcloth and quietly began to choke him as he dragged him away towards the residence of the trader, who was an amused as well as surprised spectator of this unexpected ebullition of passion.
