31012And what kind of things does he make for him?
31012And yet you talk of selling it yourself?
31012And you mean to say you would have married him?
31012And you, I suppose, are the new trader?
31012Are he and the king in different places?
31012Are you gone crazy, Case? 31012 Are you married yourself?"

31012But if a German man- of- war does it?
31012But why are you so much concerned? 31012 But why should we not take your own, which is afloat already?"

31012Do n''t you speak any English?

31012How do you like this?
31012How much did it cost you?
31012How would you expect me to? 31012 How your hand he get hurt?"
31012I am an old man,replied the other,"and too near the gate of the grave to take a favour from the devil.--But what is this?
31012I think,said she, mighty solemn-- and then, presently--"Victoreea, he big chief?"
31012I wonder if you''re dead? 31012 I_ am_ tabooed, then?"
31012If he thought all that, why did he not help me?
31012In short, you''re afraid?
31012Is he far from Apia?
31012Is he with the king?
31012Is it long?
31012Is it not a terrible thing to save oneself by the eternal ruin of another? 31012 Is that the steamer?"

31012Look here, Wiltshire, do you think me a fool?
31012Mate, I wonder are you making a fool of me?
31012Mean?
31012Mr. Tarleton, I believe?
31012My God Almighty, Uma, is that you?
31012Nobody he go there?
31012Old man,said Kokua,"what do you here abroad in the cold night?"
31012Shall we return to the beach?
31012Sounds likely, do n''t it?
31012Surely these white men on the beach are not great chiefs?
31012The house?
31012The priest?
31012These lands will now be yours?
31012They wo n''t go near me? 31012 This is the bottle,"said the man; and when Keawe laughed,"You do not believe me?"
31012Three weeks? 31012 Uma, she devil?"
31012Uma,says I, when I got back,"what does_ Tiapolo_ mean?"
31012Was it thought to be the island?
31012We''ve had an epidemic here; and Captain Randall takes gin for a prophylactic-- don''t you, Papa?
31012Well, do you think it would better me to shoot you here, on this open beach?
31012Well, is that all?
31012Well, suppose it is; what''s she carrying on about?
31012Well,I said, sneering,"and I suppose you thought Case''very pretty''and''liked too much''?"
31012Well,asked Lopaka,"is it all as you designed?"
31012Well,said I,"you''re frank and pleasant, ai n''t you?
31012Well,said he,"what have you been doing?"
31012Wha''s he want Uma for? 31012 What ails you,"said Lopaka,"that you stare in your chest?"
31012What ails you?

31012What was this?
31012What''s he been saying?
31012What''s that you say?
31012Where is he?
31012Who the devil''s this?
31012Who''s she?
31012Whom did you find in Apia to tell you so much good of me?
31012Why do n''t you let the dogs die?
31012Why else should she be so cast down at my release? 31012 Why should I work,"thought he,"when I have a father- in- law who makes dollars of sea- shells?"
31012Why would these islands all be chock full of them and none in Europe?
31012Why you bring him?
31012Why you talk big voice? 31012 Why, how many tons of copra may they make in this district?"
31012Why,said Keola,"what is wrong with you now?"
31012Will you do me a service?
31012Would you not care to view the chambers?
31012You ai n''t afraid of her?
31012You are not deceiving me?
31012You are there with the mat?
31012You come alone?
31012You do n''t tell me?
31012You do not mean to say you are serious about that bottle?
31012You have done this for me?
31012You mean you wo n''t sell it?
31012You mean you wo n''t?
31012You no savvy?
31012You no''fraid?
31012You propose that the conference is to adjourn and not to be broken up?
31012You shot him?
31012You tell me true? 31012 You think me one devil?"
31012_ Ifea Siamani?_ Which is the German?
31012_ Ifea Siamani?_ Which is the German?
31012''Me bigoted?
31012''What would you do, old man?''
31012''s he come here for his health, anyway?
31012--telegraphed direct home for instructions,"Is arrest of foreigners on foreign vessels legal?"
31012A concertina?
31012A third followed, a mere boy, with the end of his nose shot off:"Have you any painkiller?
31012Am I so dull of spirit that never till now I have surmised my duty, or have I seen it before and turned aside?
31012And all I want to know is just this: did you see Case''s figure- head about a week ago?"
31012And he thought also,"Where are the grey mountains?
31012And how do I know?
31012And what do I want?
31012And what should I do?
31012And what was he smoking?
31012And where is the high cliff with the hanging forest and the wheeling birds?"
31012And who got the land?
31012And who is to distinguish such a process from the state of war?
31012And who''s to make''em?
31012Are you strong enough to launch Pili''s boat?"
31012But in that intricate affair who lost the money?
31012But tell me, first of all, one thing: Are you married?"
31012But the king, once elected and nominated, what does he become?
31012But what other hope have I to cure my sickness or to we d Kokua?
31012But what was I to do?
31012But what would you have?
31012But what wrong have I done, what sin lies upon my soul, that I should have encountered Kokua coming cool from the sea- water in the evening?
31012But whether he was slain in the battle by the trees, or whether he is still kicking his heels upon the Isle of Voices, who shall say?
31012But who was going to trust the match?
31012But you do n''t mean to say you expect a law- obliging people to deal in your store whether they want to or not?
31012But, Misi, is it not so that when David killed Goliath, he cut off his head and carried it before the king?"
31012Did n''t you hear Maea-- that''s the young chief, the big one-- ripping out about''Vika''?
31012Do you feel the point of that?
31012Do you hesitate?"
31012Do you think I am so base as that?
31012Doubtless, as he had written long before, the consul alone was responsible"on the legal side"; but the captain began to ask himself,"What next?"
31012Ever met Buncombe?"
31012For why did the old reprobate require the bottle?"
31012Had he no party, then?
31012Had they a mind to attack?
31012Have I lived to hear it from a jackanapes like you?''
31012Have you seen a child when he is all alone and has a wooden sword, and fights, leaping and hewing with the empty air?
31012He is strongly conscious of his own position as the common milk- cow; and what is he to do?
31012How can Case be Tiapolo?"
31012How comes it, then, that you should be sighing?"
31012How if this should be the doing of the bottle?
31012How was I to find as good?
31012I ca n''t reconcile my mind to their taking up with Kanakas, and I''d like to know where I''m to find the whites?
31012I said,"how do you suppose we get along with our own_ aitus_ at home?
31012If Brandeis were minded to deal fairly, where was the probability that he would be allowed?
31012In addition to the old conundrum,"Who is the king?"
31012Is that the position?"
31012Is there anything wrong about the price?"
31012Keola went up the beach, which was of shining sand and coral, strewn with singular shells; and he thought in his heart--"How do I not know this beach?
31012My public- house?
31012No?"
31012Now, what would any man do in my place, if he was a man?"
31012Of what help was the consul thinking?
31012Or, if I ai n''t tabooed, what makes the folks afraid of me?"
31012Own up now; you had word of this before?"
31012She ate not a bite, but who was to observe it?
31012The thing was a common conjuring trick which I have seen performed at home a score of times; but how was I to convince the villagers of that?
31012The words of the German sailor must be regarded as imaginary: how was the poor lad to speak native, or the Samoan to understand German?
31012This excellent, if ignominious, idea once entertained, why was it let drop?
31012This time he was so pleased he had to try his English again:"You talk true?"
31012To be sure it was; but who was Becker to be complaining of intrigue?
31012Uma, when people began to leave you and your mother alone, what did Namu do?"
31012Was it conceivable, then, that he meant it?
31012Was it weapons or ammunition that Fletcher had supplied?
31012Was she still proceeding on Mulinuu?
31012Were they Germans or Tamaseses?
31012Wha''''n hell''s he want Uma for?"
31012What ailed them now?
31012What ails me that I throw this cloud upon my husband?"
31012What am I tabooed for, anyway?
31012What are they frightened of?"
31012What can a Samoan gather from the words,_ election?
31012What chance had she to sell that bottle at two centimes?
31012What do you mean by that?
31012What else could be expected?
31012What is the price by now?"
31012What is this you say about a cent?
31012What more natural, to the mind of a European, than that the Mataafas should fall upon the Germans in this hour of their disadvantage?
31012What was the use of casting my pearls before her?
31012What was their errand?
31012What were the new- comers?
31012What''ll you bet they ai n''t after gin?
31012Where should I look for a better?
31012Where, in all this, are we to find a corner of responsibility for the king of Samoa?
31012Who are you?"
31012Why do you not take the bottle?
31012Why does it not hurt?"
31012Why should I?
31012Why should I?
31012Why wo n''t they go near me?"
31012Why, then, had he changed it?
31012Will you know what was in his heart?''
31012Would it be possible for you three consuls to make Tamasese remove from German property?
31012Would you like to see Galoshes?''
31012You do n''t mean to tell me you''ve got the gall for that?
31012You do not know the price?"
31012You have some money, I suppose?"
31012You like me stop?"
31012You my friend?"
31012You thought you could make a cat''s- paw of me, did you?"
31012and are you sure you would not rather have a flute?
31012cried Keawe,"two cents?
31012election of a king according to the laws and customs of Samoa_?
31012election of a king?
31012he cried,"except to leave me lonely till the time comes of my damnation?"
31012he thought,"would I beard the devil once, only to get me a house, and not face him again to win Kokua?"
31012is that you?"
31012says I,"are you a Papist?"
31012says I,"got- um plenty devil, that bush?"
31012she cried,"what ails me?
31012they had supplied a new one,"What is the vice- king?"
31012you loved me, and gave your soul, and you think I will not die to save you in return?"
31012you might die a hundred times, and what difference would that make?"
10862After Edith Herndon?
10862And did I pass muster?
10862And food?
10862And is it there that the Professor will conduct his search?
10862And the captain?
10862And they went over here?
10862And who are you, sir? 10862 And you are not afraid?"
10862And you do n''t know what they meant by their song about the white waterfall and Black Fernando''s hell?
10862Are they there?
10862Are we mad, Verslun?
10862Are we saved? 10862 Are you Jack Verslun?"
10862Are you coming?
10862Are you hurt?
10862Are you there?
10862Barbara?
10862But Soma?
10862But Toni?
10862But do you know the particular line we are after?
10862But how are we to cross it?
10862But how can we?
10862But if Captain Newmarch orders you to stay with the yacht?
10862But if he does n''t come this way?
10862But it is true that you were quoting Bunyan on the wharf when Mr. Holman found you, is n''t it?
10862But surely this test is not carried on at the present time?
10862But the Professor?
10862But the bare facts?
10862But the girls?
10862But the young ladies?
10862But we should let the girls know something, should n''t we? 10862 But what are you doing aboard?"
10862But what did the wizard men say?
10862But what did we climb up here for?
10862But what will happen to the girls?
10862But where are they? 10862 But your impression?"
10862By the way,he growled, as I fell upon the plate of tinned salmon which Edith Herndon handed to me,"who was doing the shooting this afternoon?"
10862Ca n''t you tell the story over again?
10862Can Verslun and I make the attempt and leave you three here?
10862Did I kill him?
10862Did n''t he say that this place was uninhabited?
10862Did we come for the view alone?
10862Did you hear anything?
10862Did you pass it? 10862 Did you?"
10862Do n''t you remember that the colour of the walls darkened rapidly below the Ledge of Death?
10862Do n''t you remember where he threatened to put the five babies?
10862Do n''t you?
10862Do you expect them to go down on to that path?
10862Do you hear me? 10862 Do you know Toni?"
10862Do you know that nigger you rescued?
10862Do you know what this is?
10862Do you know what we''re after?
10862Do you know?
10862Do you remember much of it?
10862Do you think he slipped down while I was climbing the tree?
10862Do you think he was helped overboard?
10862Do you think that Leith has made for the camp?
10862Do you think we''ll put in anywhere in the Samoan Group?
10862Dreaming? 10862 Five babies?"
10862Gave you a shock, eh?
10862Had n''t I better go with you?
10862Have you been around the spot we are making for?
10862How did you get out?
10862How do you know?
10862How far did we roll?
10862How is that, Soma?
10862How is that?
10862How many paces?
10862How many paces?
10862How?
10862How?
10862I am stretching out my arm, Mr. Holman; will you come here to me and feel the direction I am pointing in?
10862I counted right, did n''t I?
10862I hope you slept well?
10862I suppose the left side will be the one upon our left hand when facing the fall?
10862I wonder who it is?
10862If I go wrong, you put me right, will you? 10862 If we could catch this lunatic on the cliff?"
10862Is it any good of attempting to convince the Professor?
10862Is there any choice of direction?
10862Is there anything in it about a white waterfall that is on the way to heaven out of Black Fernando''s hell?
10862Mighty hot afternoon, is n''t it, boss?
10862Native?
10862Now who goes first?
10862Oh, you are the new mate?
10862Our best?
10862Pleasant?
10862Say,murmured Holman,"do you remember what the Professor said about this place the other night when he was speaking about sacrificial altars?"
10862Say?
10862See the streak of light through that split in the rock?
10862Shall we go in?
10862Sleepy?
10862So it has been pleasant?
10862Some one else upon the island? 10862 Sorry?"
10862That''s so,I remarked,"but how are we to get up to the point where the signal came from?"
10862The Isle of Tears?
10862The captain thinks we are in for a spell of bad weather, Mr. Verslun,he drawled;"are you of the same opinion?"
10862Then you want me to go?
10862Then-- then there is another lady aboard?
10862They said to the left, did n''t they?
10862To the right, is n''t it?
10862To the right?
10862To the what?
10862Toni?
10862Verslun, did you hear?
10862We mentioned?
10862Well, what are we to do?
10862Well?
10862Well?
10862Well?
10862Well?
10862What about Kaipi?
10862What about him?
10862What about the white waterfall?
10862What are they doing?
10862What are you hinting at?
10862What can we do?
10862What do you make of it?
10862What do you make of it?
10862What do you make of it?
10862What do you mean?
10862What do you think of Leith?
10862What for?
10862What for?
10862What has Bunyan got to do with my business?
10862What has this nonsense to do with me?
10862What is all this about the white waterfall?
10862What is it, Holman?
10862What is it?
10862What is it?
10862What is it?
10862What is it?
10862What is it?
10862What is it?
10862What is it?
10862What is that?
10862What should we have done?
10862What sort of a fool game are you up to?
10862What the devil do you mean by trying to knife me?
10862What the devil do you want to go for?
10862What the devil is wrong?
10862What time is it?
10862What was that?
10862What was that?
10862What white waterfall, boss?
10862What will we do?
10862What''ll we do?
10862What''ll we do?
10862What''s that?
10862What''s the grin for?
10862What''s the matter with you?
10862What''s the matter?
10862What''s this?
10862What''s up?
10862What''s up?
10862What''s up?
10862What''s wrong now? 10862 What''s wrong with Leith?"
10862What? 10862 What?"
10862When was this wonderful custom in force?
10862When?
10862Where are they taking us?
10862Where are we? 10862 Where are we?"
10862Where are you bound?
10862Where are you, Holman? 10862 Where did we lose her?
10862Where has he gone?
10862Where is he?
10862Where is he?
10862Where the dickens are we going?
10862Where?
10862Which way did they go?
10862Who is it?
10862Who is there?
10862Who knifed him?
10862Who says so?
10862Who the devil gave you permission to come here?
10862Who?
10862Who?
10862Why did n''t we wait at the door of that place till the brute came out?
10862Why did you ask him that?
10862Why did you let go of One Eye? 10862 Why did you throw that knife?"
10862Why do you think that?
10862Why not?
10862Why would she give him a ring? 10862 Why-- what do you mean?"
10862Why-- who-- how the devil did you get this?
10862Why?
10862Why?
10862Why?
10862Why?
10862Why?
10862Why?
10862Why?
10862Will our death prevent it?
10862Yes,I muttered;"and what do his daughters say?"
10862You do not dislike the idea of going?
10862You have been a long while in the Islands?
10862You say all the boys had to climb over there?
10862You were n''t dreaming?
10862You will stay with the yacht, I suppose?
10862You''ll do what?
10862You''re not sorry I found you on that pile of pearl shell?
10862Are you dead, Verslun?
10862Are you ready Edith?
10862Are you ready?
10862Are you willing?"
10862But why had Toni been killed?
10862But you have n''t met Mr. Verslun yet, have you?"
10862By the way, what position do you hold in the expedition?"
10862Do n''t you see?
10862Do n''t you think she''s a jolly nice girl?"
10862Do you hear me?
10862Do you hear me?
10862Do you hear?"
10862Do you know that Barbara and I have n''t spoken a word during the last hour?
10862Do you know what Soma told the Professor about the bad men falling into this infernal pit?"
10862Do you know what he told me yesterday?"
10862Do you know who I am?"
10862Do you mean to say that he was ignorant of the fact that it was the Isle of Tears and not Penrose Island that we were making for?"
10862Do you think they were?"
10862Do you understand?
10862Do you understand?"
10862Do you want it?"
10862Does it strike you that way?"
10862Does your father intend to go far inland?"
10862Has anything happened?"
10862He''s a bad egg, do you hear?
10862How much ammunition have you?
10862I had seen light-- the light of what?
10862I wonder if Maru and Kaipi came near it?"
10862Leith?"
10862Penrose Island?"
10862Promise to help me, will you?
10862Say,"I added,"did you ever read Pilgrim''s Progress''?"
10862They always surround the ill- fated ship, do n''t they?"
10862What do you think?"
10862What way did we come?"
10862What''s the use of taking me?"
10862Where are my daughters?"
10862Where are you, father?"
10862Where are you?"
10862Where has the devil put them?"
10862Who said they were scientists?"
10862Why did n''t we examine the cavern near the fire before chasing him?
10862Why does n''t he hurry?"
10862Why had Leith exhibited such curiosity about the song when he heard me relating the incident to the two sisters on board the yacht?
10862You hear what Mr. Leith says?
10862You know why?"
12639Ah, I did n''t know you Americans went in much for family tombs?
12639Ah, you would, would you? 12639 Always did think the chap a frightful bounder, do n''t you know?
12639And the name of this influential person?
12639And where is Captain Magnus?
12639And you think he is in the conspiracy too?
12639And you''ll go along as cabin- boy or something?
12639Ask me? 12639 Because I wish to save my poor aunt from such a situation as this?
12639Better not?
12639Bitter, perhaps,I flung back,"but is it not true?
12639But before I go further, kindly tell me whether you have had any-- ah-- visitors during your stay on the island?
12639But the gold?
12639Dead ones? 12639 Did you think o''rowin''the whole way round the dinged chunk o''rock?"
12639Do n''t you see,I cried,"how ridiculous it all is?
12639Do you forget that I owe you my life?
12639Do you suppose I can loaf about the harbor here a- waitin''on your aunt''s fits? 12639 Fo''de Lawd''s sake, Miss Jinny,"he burst out at last,"am dat de ghos''-pig?"
12639For-- for the island?
12639Friends?
12639Got away with it how? 12639 Got away with it?"
12639How did you like Panama? 12639 How do you know, really, that he ever did leave the island?"
12639However, we have the treasure-- the main point, is it not? 12639 I bet we do n''t put it over some on them original Argonaut fellers, hey?"
12639I can, can I?
12639I say,interposed one of the party nervously,"what''s the good of that kind of talk?
12639I was jest telling you, was n''t I?
12639I? 12639 In more detail?"
12639It is an arm which is at your service for life-- but what am I to do with it now? 12639 It''s true the cave would be a likely and convenient place for hiding the chest; the question is: Would n''t it be too likely and convenient?
12639It-- it do n''t happen to say in more deetail jest precisely where that cave might be looked for?
12639Lad,he said quietly,"lend a hand below, will you?
12639Lad,said the Scotchman in a suddenly harsh voice,"lend a hand with this rope, will you?"
12639Lady drop anything?
12639Learning to like what I do already, hey?
12639Liked it? 12639 Looky here, darky, git busy dishin''up the grub, will you?
12639Loose? 12639 Maybe not,"admitted Tony,"but suppose that feller died awful slow, and went on hollering and clutching at the bags?
12639Miss Jane Harding?
12639Miss Jinny, it mos''look lak yo''''bout to go perambulatin''in dese yere woods?
12639Named your dog over again, Miss Jinny?
12639Nap? 12639 Never guessed I was n''t here jest to do the shovel work, but might have my own little side- show to bring off, hey?"
12639Not so dusty, eh?
12639Oh, I say, are n''t you a bit rough on Miss Browne? 12639 Oh, I''m impert''nent, am I?
12639Oh, really, now,argued the paragon earnestly,"I''m quite sure there''s no danger of that, do n''t you know?
12639Oh-- listen-- didn''t you hear something?
12639One of those chaps that backed Goliath against David, what?
12639Only lady passenger, eh? 12639 Pray, Mr. Tubbs, what further detail could be required?"
12639Ready, Miss Harding? 12639 Say, are you a human iceberg, to talk that cool before a man''s own face?
12639Say,he remarked to me in a confidential undertone, though pitched quite loud enough for Miss Browne''s ears,"is it real?
12639Say,he said harshly,"hold back that dog, will you?
12639Scolding you? 12639 Then I suppose you consider that he was inveigled too?"
12639Then why are you scolding me?
12639Then why leave her strewn about on the rocks? 12639 They would n''t leave that for a scarecrow, would they?"
12639Treachery? 12639 Turn around, is it, turn around?"
12639War am Cap''n now?
12639Well, chickabiddies, we ai n''t treated you harsh, I hope? 12639 Well?"
12639What in the world do you suppose brought such a mite of a thing to this unheard- of spot?
12639What say, boys? 12639 What was it, Cookie?"
12639What was the good o''digging up jest these here couple o''bag''s and quitting?
12639What was the point in not digging''em all up while you was about it?
12639What would he want with her? 12639 What''s in a name?"
12639What''s the matter? 12639 What''s this mean?
12639What''s wrong?
12639What''s your hurry?
12639What?
12639Where are they, where are they?
12639Who ever heard of a pirate''s treasure that was n''t moonshine? 12639 Who-- the copra chap?
12639Why did n''t you stay by the fire and have your nap out?
12639Why do n''t you believe it?
12639Why not send''em down to their chums the way we do the eats?
12639Why the devil should you think I''ve got your aunt?
12639Why, what else can it be?
12639Yes, auntie?
12639Yo''think I scared of any ghos''what lower hissel to be a live white mong''ol dog? 12639 You are the American and English party who landed here some weeks ago from the_ Rufus Smith_?"
12639You mean_ the_ chest-- the chest that held the Spanish doubloons-- that lies under the sand in the sloop?
12639You wo n''t say nothin''to git Cookie in a rumpus?
12639Your aunt? 12639 Your aunt?"
12639_ You have found it_?
12639Ai n''t I goin''to have a chance to get square?"
12639Ai n''t you always a- strayin''off with the Honorable?
12639All alone, did I say?
12639And besides"--here the puzzle of Crusoe recurred to me and seemed to link itself with this--"then how did he get away himself?"
12639And how much more, when it is a question of treasure-- of a very large treasure, Senor?"
12639And let them murder me too?"
12639And of course you feel quite sure that on your side you thoroughly understand-- Miss Higglesby- Browne?"
12639And who knew how much more of crime and blood and violence we should send forth into the world with the long- buried treasure?
12639And yet, suppose he thought that like the rest I had wished another in his place?
12639Are even the most valiant adventurers invariably honest?
12639Are maybe even the men of us to be set by the ears through the bickering of women?"
12639Are we to be divided from the beginning by quarrels?
12639As to my being married, if you were betting just now on anybody''s chances they would have to be Captain Magnus''s, would n''t they?"
12639Besides, what right had he to care if I was drowned, anyhow?
12639But as you represent His Excellency the President of the Republic of Santa Marina I suppose you come on business, Senior Gonzales?"
12639But how quell the creature with my eye when I could not see it?
12639But oh, Dugald, had ever a girl such a wonderful bride''s chest as this?
12639But then, what of those whom we had left in camp?
12639But what about the pirates who were still in the cave and would shortly be returning from it?
12639But what was the mysterious fate of Peter?
12639But who that had loved a dog enough to make it the companion of his solitude would go away and leave it?
12639Can I say without hard feelin''s that jest now H. H. was not handled right?
12639Captors and captives forgot all else but the great, the burning question-- had the treasure been discovered?
12639Could I ask Cuthbert Vane to do it, too?
12639Could we leave them undefended to the vengeance of Captain Magnus?
12639Did I come intentionally at all, or because I was shanghaied and could n''t help myself?
12639Did I thank him?
12639Did he think that-- could he, with the memory of my arms about his neck?
12639Did n''t the old chap risk his neck a dozen times a day while this Christopher Columbus stayed high and dry ashore?
12639Did the gold carry with it some deadly influence?
12639Do n''t you suppose it hurt me too?"
12639Do you think I came along with people who did n''t want me, and have turned my own aunt against me, for the sake of filthy lucre?
12639Do you think that for all the treasure ever buried by a pirate I would miss the spectacle of Aunt Jane and Miss Browne arriving?
12639Eh?"
12639Empty?
12639Every last drop gone down somebody''s greedy gullet?
12639Evidently the hermit had got away, so why concern one''s self about the method?
12639First o''that I see, its a dose o''cold lead for youse, savvy?"
12639For business is a cold, usually a disagreeable affair, is it not so?
12639For where was the Tubbs of yesterday-- the honey- tongued, the suave, the anxiously obsequious Tubbs?
12639Had he ever reached the cave to bring away the last of the doubloons?
12639Had he fallen victim to some extraordinary mischance on the way back to the_ Island Queen_?
12639Had he fallen, overboard from the sloop and been drowned?
12639Had he preferred to say that he had taken the wrong ammunition rather than admit that he could get no bag?
12639Had he returned to the cave-- and was he there still?
12639Had n''t he endured the equivalent of Chris''s present sufferings for weeks?
12639Had n''t he grown very tired of pork, and did n''t his soul to this day revolt at a ham sandwich?
12639Had somebody else heard the story of the_ Bonny Lass_ and come after the doubloons, unknowing that we were beforehand with them?
12639Has she been kicking- up a bit?
12639Have you grown so sordid and grasping that you can think of nothing but this blood- stained pirate gold?"
12639He gave me a swift glance which said,_ Shall I spring_?
12639He said Dissenters were so apt to be peculiar, do n''t you know?
12639He sure did n''t leave the island with it, did he?
12639He was showing faint symptoms of revival, and had got as far as"I say--?"
12639How about me?
12639How come you git ashore all dry lak you is?
12639How had I forgotten it, that deadly thing, muttering to itself out there, ready to spring back like an unleashed beast?
12639How, in the first place, had he found them?
12639How, without going into the terrifying place alone, should I find out what was there?
12639I knew what it was not, but what it was I could not, as I stood there rooted, even guess, Would it attack me, or should I only die of fright?
12639I think it is a little severe for my type of face, do n''t you?
12639I thought it just the thing, but Miss Browne said no, helmets were always worn-- Coffee?
12639I wonder if he is pleased that I, a stranger, have come into possession of his secret hoard at last?
12639I wonder what they are all doing at home?
12639I''m far too great a duffer to convert her, but perhaps you might, do n''t you know?"
12639If so, must we do battle for our rights?
12639If, on the other hand, I merely tried to free the prisoners and Captain Magnus woke, what then?
12639In every port we have gold to fling, And what care we though the end is to swing?
12639In the same instant the voice of Cookie, raised to a sharp note of alarm, rang through the camp:"_ My Gawd, what all dis yere mean_?"
12639Indeed, how many human hopes have been bolstered up with arguments no sounder?
12639Is his name ancient?
12639Is my helmet on straight, dear?
12639It was, this remarkable episode, altogether a thing without precedent-- and what was that but another name for the impossible?
12639It''s the doubloons all right-- where''s the rest of''em?"
12639Knew well enough you could n''t get along without the old man, did n''t you?
12639Last but not least, did not his heart and conscience, if he by chance possessed them, ache horribly at the thought of the forsaken Crusoe?
12639Liked to wound Cuthbert--_Cuthbert_?
12639Miss Harding, you do n''t think it''s that-- that the thing''s all moonshine?"
12639More than this, had he not most specifically made over to me the_ Island Queen_ and all that it contained?
12639My love, would I grudge you a_ monument_--all white marble-- little angels--''From her heart- broken aunt''?
12639No matter, it can be easily repaired-- crack?
12639No, he did n''t want spring water, which Cookie obsequiously tendered him; he wanted a_ drink_--wouldn''t anybody but a fool nigger know that?
12639Of course-- haven''t we been eating them?"
12639Oh, who''s, who''s with me at Fortune''s call to wander?
12639Oh, who''s, who''s with me for the free life of a rover?
12639Oh, who''s, who''s with me for to sail the broad seas over?
12639Oh, why, why are we not safe at home together?
12639Or perhaps accept a little stingy present of a few?
12639Ours?
12639Outwardly calm, I replied,"Yes, its too bad, but then who ever dreamed that Aunt Jane would go adventuring at her time of life?
12639Rather fancy you had it in your head that we were a band of cutthroats, eh?
12639Shall we ship old Washtubs on the schooner and let him have his fling along with us?
12639Shaw and I can find the cave quite on our own, ca n''t we, Shaw?"
12639Sho''now, how yo''got de heart to stick de knife in him, Mistah Tubbs?"
12639Should I pretend to have accidentally discovered the grave, lead the party to it, and then-- again accidentally-- discover the tunnel?
12639Skirts is thicker''n herring in every port, ai n''t they?"
12639Somewhere close at hand was the mouth of the cave-- but where?
12639Speaking of Crusoe, where was he?
12639The only question is, is n''t it indicated too clearly?
12639The point is, can you indicate with any degree of exactness the whereabouts of the chest?
12639Then how had Crusoe got away, Crusoe, who feared the waves so, and would bark at them and then turn tail and run?
12639There was n''t any liquor, so what was the good of making an adjective row?
12639Through chance-- by following some authentic clue?
12639Tubbs?"
12639Tubbs?"
12639Virginia, why could n''t you love him?"
12639Was he a bad shot and ashamed of it?
12639Was it another pirate?
12639Was it merely my being so distrait, or was it quite another reason, that led him to open up so suddenly about his Kentish home?
12639Was one of these the_ Rufus Smith_, and would I reach her-- or him-- before the thin gray feather became a thick black plume?
12639We''ll stand by old Shaw, wo n''t we, Magnus?"
12639Well, that cave would n''t be a pleasant place to stay in, would it?
12639Well, when I meets a little skirt that takes my eyes there ai n''t no harm in lettin''her know it, is there?
12639Well, why else was the cabin cleared out so carefully-- no clothes left about or anything?"
12639Were they still waiting there unclaimed?
12639What abominable nonsense I had been talking-- was there a miasma about that old grave that affected one?
12639What do you want aboard my ship?"
12639What had befallen him?
12639What had he to do, the writer of this journal, what had he to do with the_ Bonny Lass_?
12639What happened to the writer of the diary on that last trip to the cave?
12639What if the island had its wild creatures after all?
12639What ironic stroke of fate had cut him down in the very moment of his triumph?
12639What possible errand could bring a steamer to this remote, unvisited, all but forgotten little island?
12639What right you got to be asleep at the switch?"
12639What though swift death is the rover''s lot?
12639What was the matter?"
12639What was this he was saying?
12639What will she do if she meets a cannibal and he tries to eat her?"
12639What would he say if he ever discovered that he might have brought away a harvest of gold instead of copra from the island?
12639Whatever you know, you''ll come through with it and come quick, or it''ll be the worse for your hide, see?"
12639Where did it go?
12639Where was the bottle or two that had been rooted out last night from the medical stores?
12639Which o''them guys has the line on the stuff, Magnus?"
12639Who knew-- and, ah, me, who cared?
12639Who knows but that he, too, was bent on treasure- seeking?
12639Why did n''t the captain sail right up to the island as she had expected and put us ashore?
12639Why had Captain Magnus been at pains to invent a lie about so trivial a matter?
12639Why had n''t they sent the adjective nigger back for more?
12639Why had they, with incredible lack of forethought, brought along nothing but their pocket flasks?
12639Why not surprise them in the cave, and make them stay there?
12639Why should the frequent and natural phenomena of tears produce such panic in the male breast?
12639Why was I lured away to wander about the world with perfect strangers?
12639Why?
12639Would he do so-- on my bare word?
12639Would he of dug it up from one place jest to bury it in another?
12639Would it be riven quite in twain?
12639Would it have bendable j''ints, now, same as you and me?"
12639Would you mind putting up a little headstone-- it need n''t cost much-- in the family plot, with just''Virginia''on it?
12639_ Aunt Jane_: You thoughtless child, where have you been?
12639_ What will Aunt Jane do_?
12639_ What''s his game_?
12639because they had lived on an island, had n''t they?
12639cackled Mr. Tubbs hysterically,"you boys will have your little joke, eh?
12639he exclaimed sympathetically,"not hurt, are you?
21489A document?
21489A voyage?
21489Alone?
21489Already?
21489And Mr Herbert?
21489And before hunting them mercilessly, you would not wait until they had committed some fresh act of hostility against us?
21489And besides,thought Pencroft,"why should it be impossible to refloat the brig?
21489And can you guess, Pencroft,asked the reporter,"how it happened, or what can have occasioned the explosion?"
21489And have they not been seen again?
21489And how many months would be required to build a vessel of from 250 to 300 tons?
21489And our vessel?
21489And who has struck the blow?
21489And who put the torpedo there?
21489And why, my dear Spilett,answered Cyrus Harding,"should it not follow the road naturally traced out for it?"
21489And yet, if it had been necessary to operate,said Harding one day to him,"you would not have hesitated?"
21489And you, Ayrton?
21489Are the guns ready?
21489Are they numerous? 21489 Are you comfortable, Herbert?"
21489Are you ready?
21489But Ayrton--answered the engineer, hesitating,"you will risk your life--""Why not, sir?"
21489But Mr Spilett and Neb?
21489But Neb?
21489But Neb?
21489But by hauling her up on the sand, to the foot of the Chimneys?
21489But can nothing be done?
21489But do you know,returned Pencroft,"that it will take at least five or six months to build a vessel of from thirty to forty tons?"
21489But do you-- do you know who I am?
21489But how was it we did not see the_ Bonadventure_ pass in sight of the island?
21489But if an eruption of Mount Franklin occurred,asked Spilett,"would there not be some danger to Lincoln Island?"
21489But if any one seizes it in our absence?
21489But if, uneasy at our absence, he would venture to come?
21489But is he equal to five?
21489But of what is he dying?
21489But suppose she does come there?
21489But suppose she had run against this piece of iron?
21489But the heart?
21489But the willow bark?
21489But then, Captain Harding,asked Herbert,"why does Lincoln Island appear to escape the common law?"
21489But what are we going to do with all this?
21489But what did the captain say?
21489But what has happened?
21489But who do you think it is?
21489But why, if you please, captain,asked Pencroft, knitting his brows,"why should our hemisphere, as you say, be so badly divided?
21489But with what weapon?
21489But, Captain Harding,he added,"since I was imprisoned in that cavern, how is it that I find myself in the corral?"
21489But, Pencroft,asked Ayrton,"how do you intend to make this voyage?"
21489But,said Herbert,"perhaps some accident had happened to the telegraphic apparatus, so that it works no longer?"
21489Can it be the_ Duncan_?
21489Can the cannon support the shock of the pyroxile?
21489Did you doubt it?
21489Do not you feel a certain vibration of the soil?
21489Do not you think, Cyrus, that the violence of the eruption has somewhat lessened? 21489 Do you hope, then, Pencroft, that the villains have spared him?"
21489Do you know that the brig is a mile and a quarter from the shore?
21489Do you think that is useful?
21489Do you think they would risk themselves in a boat of such small tonnage?
21489Does that astonish you, my boy?
21489For what, my friend?
21489Have we any chance of escape, captain?
21489Have we been deceived by an illusion?
21489Have you formed any plan, Cyrus?
21489He lives,said he;"but he must be carried--""To Granite House?
21489Herbert,said the sailor,"you will never abandon Lincoln Island?"
21489How could you be aware of the existence of Lincoln Island?
21489How is it that the convicts are lying yonder dead, in the middle of the enclosure?
21489How long will it be, my dear Spilett, before you think Herbert may be carried to Granite House?
21489How so, my dear Cyrus?
21489I do,answered Cyrus Harding,"and also that of this wonderful submarine vessel--""The_ Nautilus_?"
21489I have your promise, gentlemen?
21489In that case,replied Pencroft, folding his arms and stamping his foot,"what''s the use of working any longer on the vessel?"
21489In the house?
21489Is it possible that he can have lived at the bottom of the sea? 21489 Is n''t what they have done already enough?"
21489Is she coming here?
21489Is that your opinion, Pencroft?
21489Is the fracture recent?
21489Is there really no way of warning him?
21489It is there, then?
21489Master,asked Neb, a few days later,"do you think all this could have happened if Captain Nemo had been still alive?"
21489My companions and myself?
21489My friends,resumed Harding,"you remember that before she foundered the brig rose on the summit of a regular water- spout?"
21489Neb, perhaps?
21489Nevertheless,continued the reporter,"would not the greatest misfortune which could happen to us be an earthquake which would overturn the island?
21489No doubt,replied Herbert;"but what can two rifles do against the brig''s guns?"
21489Or Ayrton?
21489Pencroft,said the engineer,"you have always shown much deference to my advice; will you, in this matter, yield to me?"
21489Shall we leave the cart in the wood?
21489Shall we light a fire, so as to signal our presence, on the coast?
21489Shall we stay at the corral?
21489That?
21489The Frenchman who was cast on board my vessel by chance sixteen years since?
21489The convicts discovered her in her little harbour only eight days ago, they put to sea in her, and--"And?
21489Then can the convicts have been on board?
21489Then the volcano is not totally extinct?
21489Then, Pencroft,said Herbert,"would it not be wisest to bring the_ Bonadventure_ off to Granite House?"
21489Then, how did it happen?
21489To return, Pencroft?
21489Was it the devil who rang it?
21489We have neither Peruvian bark, nor sulphate of quinine?
21489Well, captain,exclaimed Pencroft, whose cheers might have rivalled the reports themselves,"what do you say of our battery?
21489Well, sir?
21489Well, would you like to know what occasioned that water- spout? 21489 Well,"said Pencroft,"suppose this vessel comes and anchors there a few cables- lengths from our island, what shall we do?"
21489Well,said the sailor,"what ought to be done with regard to those six villains who are roaming about the island?
21489Well?
21489What about those six convicts who disembarked on the right bank of the Mercy?
21489What are you doing here?
21489What are you doing here?
21489What do you mean?
21489What do you say now?
21489What does that mean?
21489What is it?
21489What is that?
21489What is the matter, Pencroft?
21489What is to be done?
21489What o''clock is it?
21489What shall we do when night comes on?
21489What would be the use of that, Pencroft?
21489What''s the matter?
21489What, it was not you?
21489Where am I?
21489Who came here the last time?
21489Who knows?
21489Who knows?
21489Who?
21489Who?
21489Why do you not think so?
21489Why have they not done so?
21489Why not,observed Neb,"if there are rocks in the channel?"
21489Why, captain,said Pencroft,"you do n''t suppose that the_ Speedy_ simply foundered like a ship which has struck on a rock?"
21489Will you go to the ship in the boat?
21489Would you not wish, captain, that Ayrton and I should remain here?
21489You have some last wish to transmit,said the engineer with emotion,"some souvenir to send to those friends you have left in the mountains of India?"
21489You know the name I formerly bore, sir?
21489A few moments of silence ensued; then the captain demanded--"What think you of my life, gentlemen?"
21489All these questions presented themselves simultaneously to the minds of the colonists, but how could they be answered?
21489And now, did the colonists possess an efficacious agent to act against the inflammation which might occur?
21489And there, in the bright moonlight, what did they see?
21489And what had the colonists of Lincoln Island to reply to the pirates''guns?
21489And what would become of him without his vessel?"
21489And who knows but that they had conceived the impossible hope of bringing back Ayrton to themselves?
21489And, besides, in what situation were the inhabitants of the corral themselves?
21489But Cyrus Harding, after some moments''thought, replied in the calm tone which was usual to him--"What we shall do, my friends?
21489But after that?
21489But could he be sure that this was all that was to be said about this enigma, and that he should never arrive at a solution?
21489But do you not think that the best thing to be done now is to openly give chase to these wretches?"
21489But how had he been able to penetrate during the night into Granite House?
21489But how happened it that Cyrus Harding had recognised Captain Nemo?
21489But how was this information to be obtained?
21489But how?
21489But might not a time come when all their science would be at fault?
21489But to what nation did she belong?
21489But was flight still possible?
21489But was resistance and, in the last place, victory possible?
21489But we could not prevent it, could we?
21489But what can I do?
21489But what had been the incidents of this terrible war?
21489But what mischief had the ball committed in its passage?
21489But what was he to do there?
21489But what was it to be?
21489But why was that flag hoisted at the brig''s peak?
21489But why was this ship coming there?
21489But would she pass on, or would she put into port?
21489But would the subterranean fires provoke any violent eruption?
21489By what means could inflammation be prevented?
21489Can he leave the island if he likes?
21489Could he be certain that some conjuncture would not occur which would bring the mysterious personage on the scene?
21489Could they go to the corral in this dark night?
21489Cyrus Harding understood what was passing in Ayrton''s mind, and going to him--"And you, Ayrton,"he asked,"what will you do?"
21489Did he come here voluntarily?
21489Did not the penitent yet feel himself pardoned, either in his own eyes or in the eyes of others?
21489Did not twelve years''solitude on a desert island appear to him a sufficient expiation?
21489Did she scour the Pacific, competing with the Malay proas which still infest it?
21489Did the cavern which the settlers were now exploring extend to the centre of the island?
21489Did there exist in the as yet unexplored parts some accomplice ready to enter into communication with them?
21489Do you still doubt his honesty?"
21489During the night the ship might disappear and leave for ever, and, this ship gone, would another ever return to the waters of Lincoln Island?
21489For what had she come to look at the shores of Lincoln Island?
21489From whence, then, came this prostration?
21489Had Neb any means by which to warn his master?
21489Had he been able to swim to shore?
21489Had he in his turn succumbed?
21489Had he resisted, and been overcome in the struggle?
21489Had his design really been to blow up the brig, as Bob Harvey had thought?
21489Had she come to find on the coast a sheltered port for the winter months?
21489Had the engineer, then, been right in his presentiments?
21489Had the inhabitants fled into the interior?
21489Had the unhappy man been dragged away by his former accomplices?
21489Had they formerly invaded it, so that certain unaccountable peculiarities might be explained in this way?
21489Had this meteor any relation to the phenomena going on in the bowels of the earth?
21489Had this mysterious being, whatever he was, whose existence could not be denied, abandoned the island?
21489Harding went to the apparatus, and sent this question to the corral:--"What do you want?"
21489Have the convicts appeared in the neighbourhood?
21489How could they then prevent the pirates from landing?
21489How had it happened?
21489How many of their friends must have fallen in the struggle?
21489How much blood had it not cost?
21489How prevent the devastations with which the convicts threatened the plateau?
21489If he is a simple castaway, why should he conceal himself?
21489If they themselves were killed, what would become of Harding, Neb, and Herbert?
21489Is he here still?
21489Is it he who is in secret communication with us by the well in Granite House, and has he thus a knowledge of all our plans?
21489Let''s see: in these seas, what do we generally meet with?
21489Look here, captain, to speak candidly, do you mean to say that there is anything marvellous in the occurrence?"
21489Might his life, if not saved, be prolonged for some days?
21489Must they then plunge beneath the water and seek there for some submarine cavern?
21489Now, what stiptics, what antiphlogistics ought to be employed?
21489Now, what was the use of these two manoeuvres, unless the vessel had been employed in some expedition?
21489Ought they not to fly to the help of Ayrton and Pencroft?
21489She was nearer, but in what direction was she sailing?
21489That a vessel should appear in sight off the rock?
21489The old man''s breast swelled with emotion, and raising his hand to heaven--"Was I wrong, or in the right?"
21489The question, then, is, ought we to respect the_ incognito_ of this generous being, or ought we to do everything to find him out?
21489Then Ayrton, approaching the engineer, said simply,"Where should this coffer be deposited?"
21489Then in a calmer tone,"Do you know, Captain Harding,"said he,"what the ball is which I have rammed into my gun?"
21489Then, falling back amid the pillows of the divan--"After all, what matters now?"
21489Then--""Well, Captain Harding?"
21489To shut themselves up in Granite House, to be besieged there, to remain there for weeks, for months even, since they had an abundance of provisions?
21489Under these circumstances was it possible for them to retain even the shadow of a hope?
21489Was Ayrton no longer at the corral, or if he was still there, had he no longer control over his movements?
21489Was it Ayrton?
21489Was it he who threw Top out of the lake, and killed the dugong?
21489Was it he who threw us that bottle, when the vessel made her first cruise?
21489Was it impossible to place the mattress on which Herbert was lying in it, and to advance with so much care than any jolt should be avoided?
21489Was it not a direct menace against the work which he and his companions had till now conducted so successfully?
21489Was it not their interest in the situation in which they found themselves to begin a new life?
21489Was it possible to render any aid to the dying man?
21489Was it to them an unknown island, ready to become a magazine for stolen cargoes?
21489Was not his country that where his master was?
21489Was the brig about to penetrate far into the bay?
21489Was the islet invaded?
21489Was the settler''s honest domain destined to be transformed into an infamous refuge-- the headquarters of the piracy of the Pacific?
21489Was there any connection between the commotion of the atmosphere and that of the interior of the earth?
21489Was this a pirate vessel?
21489Were the convicts in the corral when Pencroft and the reporter made their reconnaissance?
21489Were these the first blows aimed by adverse fortune at the colonists?
21489Were they still there, or had one of their number just gone out?
21489Were they to find him struck down by the hands of those of whom he was formerly the leader?
21489What can they do against these rocks?
21489What could it now avail to sow, to reap, to hunt, to increase the stores of Granite House?
21489What do you think of it, now?"
21489What do you think, Ayrton?"
21489What do you think?"
21489What had been his object?
21489What had happened?
21489What important organs had been reached?
21489What is your opinion on the matter?"
21489What pen could describe the marvellous horror of this scene-- what pencil could depict it?
21489What was he to do?
21489What was that shot fired for?
21489What was the thickness of this wall?
21489What was their sole remaining chance?
21489What were they to do?
21489What''s a ball through the chest?
21489When once in the bay, would she anchor there?
21489Whence did he come?
21489Where, then, did he seek that liberty denied him upon the inhabited earth?
21489Whilst the engineer thought, his eyes fell on Top, who, going backwards and forwards, seemed to say--"Am not I here?"
21489Who can say that they may not take a new course?
21489Who could foresee what the future would then have in store for the colonists?
21489Who could have believed it possible?"
21489Who could tell that it might not prove some day their only refuge?
21489Who could tell what the future might have in reserve?
21489Who had killed the convicts?
21489Who knows if it is not already too late?"
21489Who then can have betrayed my secret?"
21489Why had the latter so suddenly risen on hearing this name uttered, a name which he had believed known to none?
21489Why was Herbert so much worse?
21489Will he remain any longer?"
21489Will it not then be best to build a ship which, if necessary, could take us either to the Polynesian Archipelago or to New Zealand?
21489Without that how are we to know to what distance we can send one of those pretty shot with which we are provided?"
21489Would he live until the next day, until that third attack which must infallibly carry him off?
21489Would it not be best to let Cyrus Harding judge of what he ought to do, and to warn him, at least, of the danger which threatened him?
21489Would she not content herself with only surveying the coast, and stand out to sea again without landing her crew?
21489Would the island hold together till then?
21489Would the removal prove fatal to him by causing some internal injury?
21489Would they be right in the future?
21489Would they not, on the contrary, by employing the cart leave every arm free?
21489You desire to leave it?"
21489ca n''t we carry him to Granite House?"
21489cried Pencroft, with a shout of laughter;"and you''ll undertake the job, no doubt?"
21489cried the engineer,"you are not wounded?"
21489exclaimed Pencroft,"who in the world can he be?
21489he cried,"you?"
21489how many inhabitants could it support?
21489said Pencroft,"are we not going back to work?
21489where to-- to Tabor Island?"
21489who knows?"
21489without counting--""Who?"
21489you suppose that Ayrton, finding his old companions, forgetting all that he owes us--""Who knows?"
6897''But who''he asked,''was to be the ambassador from so stupendous a Power to these barbarous states? 6897 ''Do you think then that we are in danger?''
6897''Has my husband caught any fish, do you know, Jackson?'' 6897 ''How can I tell?''
6897''Not there?'' 6897 ''Why so, my dear?''
6897A Christian,said I,"what is that?"
6897Am I not blind-- how can I teach you?
6897And how could it be otherwise? 6897 And my chest, and my seal?"
6897And now, I say, where do you hold out? 6897 And what is grateful?"
6897And what is that?
6897And when do you think of leaving this island?
6897And you say that God will give us all that we ask for in our prayers?
6897And your father?
6897Are these all the birds that you have for food?
6897Are you much hurt, Frank Henniker?
6897Are you quite well?
6897Are you there, Frank?
6897Are you? 6897 Blind, what is blind?"
6897Bring me some more water, do you hear?
6897But are not you always?
6897But are we only to think of ourselves in this world, and not of others?
6897But did they never come into collision with the wild natives of the country?
6897But do you mean to say that you really like to drink that stuff?
6897But how can we do that, it is so thick and heavy?
6897But what are we to do with the potatoes?
6897But who is God? 6897 But who was Jesus Christ?"
6897But why did he so?
6897But will it never be understood then by anybody?
6897But wo n''t it make it cold at night?
6897But,said I,"this round glass-- what is that for?"
6897Ca n''t you see me?
6897Can you eat any dinner? 6897 Charity and mercy,"said I,"what are they?
6897Die?
6897Do I like to drink it? 6897 Do they still hold possession of it?"
6897Do you feel easier?
6897Do you know if they left anything behind them, Frank?
6897Do you think you could get to the cabin, if I helped you?
6897Do you think, then, that God prevented our going with them on purpose that we might not share their fate?
6897Do you think, then, that we shall starve?
6897Do you understand it yourself?
6897Do you want anything else?
6897Do you want anything?
6897Does he know, Frank?
6897Eat? 6897 Frank Henniker, did you speak?"
6897Frank Henniker, do you know that rock?
6897Had I not better run home and get arms?
6897Has England then completely lost the country she colonised?
6897Has God abandoned us?
6897Have you brought any with you?
6897Have you called long?
6897Have you never been able to call your own mother to your memory?
6897Have you no light at hand?
6897Have you no wish then, to leave this island?
6897Have you used all the potatoes you brought up?
6897He was a good man, was he not?
6897Here,said I,"what is this?"
6897How are you this morning?
6897How could he be equal with God, if, as you said yesterday, God sent him down to be killed?
6897How did he die?
6897How did he die?
6897How is it possible?
6897How long have you been on this island?
6897How shall we manage it?
6897How?
6897I brought all this earth from there, and there is plenty of it; but what is the good of planting them?
6897I do not like interrupting you,I here observed,"but I certainly should like to know what is meant by the word lovers?"
6897I know that,replied he;"but what do I care now?"
6897I know what children are, as Jackson represented to me that I was the child of my father and mother, but what makes children, parish children?
6897I say, boy, have you a good stock of them dried chickens of yours?
6897I suppose,I here observed,"that the people who lived there, were deeply impressed with their good fortune in finding such an asylum?"
6897I want to know the whole story of how we came to this island, who my father and mother were, and why you said that you hated me and my name?
6897If you take all the provision, of course you will take the lad with you?
6897Is she alive?
6897Is she sending a boat, boy?
6897Is that all you have gained by reading your Bible?
6897Is that you, Frank?
6897Is there anything else?
6897Is there no way?
6897Is there, my hearty,--where?
6897It must be alive,thought I;"is it a fish or a bird?"
6897Jackson,said I, kneeling down by him,"are you much hurt?"
6897Let me feel them?
6897Lucky for me, do you mean, Frank?
6897No one can drink this-- what can it be?
6897No!--yes!--can it be possible? 6897 Now what shall I bring in?"
6897Now, what have you brought this time?
6897Now, what is this?
6897Of course I do; why should I not be?
6897Perhaps not,replied Jackson;"his foot may have slipped, who knows?
6897Shall I read to you?
6897Shall I take Nero with me?
6897Shall I wake them?
6897Shall this go in?
6897Shall we have the mizen?
6897Then why have you not been kind to me? 6897 Then you killed him for love of his wife, and hate of himself?"
6897Then you will be punished when you die, will you not?
6897There''s the shovel,said I,"and the boat''s sail-- must I bring them down?"
6897To what republic do you allude?
6897Well, but we can get more, ca n''t we?
6897Were the immediate results of so large an addition to geographical knowledge, as beneficial to the entire human race as they ought to have been?
6897Were you born without a mother?
6897What are brushes and combs and scissors?
6897What are miracles?
6897What are parish children?
6897What are souls?
6897What can I do?
6897What did I sing to you last night?
6897What did you do?
6897What does he do there?
6897What had become of your mother?
6897What is I thank you?
6897What is a Bible, and what is a Prayer- book?
6897What is a parish clerk?
6897What is faith? 6897 What is there in it?"
6897What temptations are we not free from here?
6897What then, it has eyes? 6897 What use can we make of that long line which they have left?"
6897What was that?
6897What''s a boat?
6897What''s a lady?
6897What''s a missionary?
6897What''s a mystery?
6897What''s an alphabet?
6897What''s the matter, master?
6897What, the diamonds?
6897What?
6897Where am I?
6897Where are they?
6897Where did you get that linen?
6897Where is South America?
6897Who are you?
6897Who is Nero?
6897Who spoke?
6897Who taught you to read?
6897Who''s there?
6897Who''s there?
6897Who?
6897Why am I to do that, mother?
6897Why did God keep the Jews apart from the Egyptians, and have them thrown in bondage?
6897Why do n''t you keep up with the lady? 6897 Why do n''t you wear some of them?"
6897Why is it called the Lord''s Prayer?
6897Why should he object to receive what he so much stands in need of?
6897Why should you have thought that?
6897Why, did you not say that you were born on the island, boy?
6897Why, do n''t you know that you''re blind, Jackson?
6897Why, where have you been all your life?
6897Why, you did n''t expect a regular hotel when you landed, did you, mate?
6897Will God hear you? 6897 Will you bring me some water for my eyes?
6897Will you come with me?
6897Will you? 6897 Wo n''t you have something to eat?"
6897Wo n''t you tell it to me?
6897Would you rather stay on the island with Nero, than go away without him?
6897Yes,replied I;"but is it not injuries to ourselves?
6897You called me, master?
6897You like songs, do you? 6897 You wo n''t be afraid of the seal,"said I,"will you?
6897''Had he caught any fish when you were with him?''
6897''Shall I leave Jackson with you?''
6897After a while he recommenced--"Who can ever prove that they were Henniker''s diamonds?"
6897After we had eaten our dinner, she said to me--"How could you contrive to live on this island, if you had no dried birds?"
6897And that no one could prove they were his-- this implied that Jackson had no right to them; indeed how could he have?
6897Are you afraid of him?"
6897Are you going to bed now?"
6897Are your clothes wet?"
6897As I looked at him, and recalled to mind his words,"Am not I an object of pity?"
6897As we sat at our meal, I said,"Dear mother, what are we to do next?"
6897As your father undressed, your mother said,''Does not that belt worry you a great deal, my dear?''
6897Besides, I have only two lines, and I might lose them both-- then what would become of me?
6897Bob, you fool, why could n''t you leave the animal alone?
6897But I asked myself how was this desirable object to be effected?
6897But where was he?
6897But where?
6897But, I repeat, that we must study the whole of the Bible with faith, and not be continually asking ourselves,''Why was this done?''
6897But, are we to suppose that, because we, in our foolishness, can not comprehend his reasons, that therefore they must be cavilled at?
6897Can you do that?"
6897Can you explain to me yourself?
6897Can you feel resentment against one in my wretched state?
6897Can you tell me?
6897Can you tell?
6897Come, boy, what have you got for our breakfast?
6897Did I ever prevent you from having water?"
6897Did I make much noise last night?"
6897Did you plant all these flowers and creepers which grow over the cabin?"
6897Do you ever pray to him?"
6897Do you know what for?
6897Do you not understand in what spirit the Bible should be read?"
6897Do you recollect?"
6897Do you think that you could walk to your bed- place?"
6897Do you understand how it is that that plant keeps alive-- grows every year-- every year throws out a large blue flower?
6897Do you understand me, Frank?"
6897Do you understand me?
6897Do you understand me?"
6897Do you understand?"
6897Does he know that we are starving?"
6897Does it mind the wind?"
6897Does not the commandment say,''Thou shalt not kill?''"
6897Had not the murder been already avenged?
6897Have you a hut or a cave to live in?"
6897Have you ever tried to sing?"
6897Have you put the belt on?"
6897He paused, as if he did not know my voice, and then said:"But I ca n''t see anything; how''s this?"
6897How am I to plant them?"
6897How big did you say that the cask was?"
6897How could I have learnt deceit?
6897How is it that the bird is covered with feathers, and has the power to fly?
6897How is it that the inside of an egg is changed into a bird?
6897How old do you think you are now?"
6897How?"
6897I ask you again, am I not an object of pity and commiseration?"
6897I asked my companion,"or has He forgotten that two of his creatures are in the deepest peril of their lives, from which He alone can save them?"
6897I confessed that he was, and then I asked myself the question, Can you forgive him who was the murderer of your father?
6897I could soon tell it you if it were not for the last question,--why I hated your name?
6897I pushed him for some time without success; but, at last he opened his eyes, and said:"My watch already?"
6897I say, boy, where did you leave your trousers?"
6897I suppose you expect to be very happy if ever you get back to England?"
6897I was about to go up to the cabin for some birds, when another man called out--"I say-- can you get us any water?"
6897I went to him and examined him-- was he asleep, or was he dead?
6897I wonder if they would run up my cabin?
6897In short, I read in darkness; and I may say that I almost knew the Bible by heart without understanding it.--How could I?
6897Is it not nearly daylight?"
6897Is it not so?"
6897Is there anything in the pannikin?"
6897Isolated as I had been, must it not have been innate?
6897It was on the third morning that he said,--"I can talk to you now; what do you want to know?"
6897Looking into the wound, my desire of information induced me to say,"What are these little white cords, which are cut through?"
6897Most truly was the question put by me,"Charity and mercy-- what are they?"
6897Now do you understand?"
6897Now look, Frank; is the next letter to O the shape of this?"
6897Now, John Gough, what do you intend to do?"
6897Now, can you forgive me?
6897Now, do you understand what I want?"
6897On my return, I found Jackson in his bed- place; he heard me come in, and asked me, in a quiet tone, whether I would bring him some water?
6897See the judgment of God-- am I not now precisely in his position, lying battered and crushed as he was?
6897Shall I kill him while he sleeps?"
6897Shall I pray now for both of us?"
6897Shall I wear the belt myself, or shall I put it in the bundle?
6897Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it,''Why hast thou made me thus?''
6897She examined the cabin and the bed- places, and then said,"Where do you sleep?"
6897Tell me now, yourself, what do you prefer and set most value upon, your belt of diamonds, or the iron kettle?"
6897The one addressed did so, and the man put it into my hands, saying,"Bring us that pail, boy, will you?"
6897The question is, will you give me the price, or will you not?
6897The reader may inquire how it was that I knew the exact time of the arrival of the birds?
6897Then perhaps you''ll tell us how to get something to eat, my hearty?"
6897There he was, apparently a gentlemen of property and consideration; and I, what was I?
6897There they are, do you choose to buy them?"
6897Was he not already punished?
6897Was there no man,''he again asked,''great enough and bold enough to undertake a mission of such vast importance, attended by such terrible risks?
6897Well, what of Captain James, eh?"
6897What can they expect from him in the way of mercy when they have shewn none?
6897What do the Proverbs say?
6897What is your name?
6897What is your name?"
6897What next, O Lord of Heaven?"
6897What then was I to do?
6897What then, shall I tax him with it when he is awake, and then kill him?"
6897What trouble would you take for me, if I were blind now, and not you?
6897What was it that you said just before I forgot everything this morning?"
6897What was it?
6897What was your reason then?"
6897What will you do?"
6897When I had answered the question, I said to her--"I have brought up more of the potatoes, as you call them; what am I to do with them?"
6897When I had told her all, I said--"Now, as they talk of not taking my chest, what shall I do?
6897Where could we be?
6897Where did I come by them?
6897Where is she?"
6897Where now could be the island I, though long so anxious to quit, now was a thousand times more desirous of beholding?
6897Where''s John Gough?
6897Where''s all on''em?"
6897Where''s the captain?
6897Who are you that have guessed that?
6897Who are you?
6897Who left you on shore to get all ready for us?"
6897Who shall I begin with-- with my husband or with myself?"
6897Who would venture to be a messenger of peace and comfort to a cruel and savage nation?
6897Why did you thank God for the seamen having left us here, instead of taking us with them?"
6897Why does he feel so angry at my name?
6897Why should it do so?
6897Will you come again?
6897Will you do this for me?"
6897Will you take Nero with you?"
6897You ca n''t tell why or how or what causes produce these effects-- can you?"
6897You have read the history of Joseph and his brethren?"
6897You know which book I told you was the Prayer- book?"
6897You see me now-- are they not all avenged?"
6897You see, you know that it does do so; but can you tell me what makes it do so?"
6897You understand now?"
6897and has not His vengeance fallen upon me even in this world?
6897and whence comes that beautiful colour?
6897and''God damn''--but who is he?"
6897exclaimed he,"how shall I escape?"
6897in that cask?
6897inquired I; and then after a little thought, I said,"You do n''t mean Nero, mother?"
6897or will you believe that I''m master?"
6897or will you wear it for me, as my mother would have done, if she had been alive?"
6897said one of the men, addressing me,"and how many of you are there here?"
6897very well; and my name?"
6897what birds?"
6897what do you mean?"
6897what is the meaning of Henniker, I wonder?
6897why should the flower always be blue?
33516''Who are you?'' 33516 A document?"
33516A pipe, then?
33516A steam machine?
33516About what age is he?
33516All the same, captain,said the sailor,"if we ever decide to leave the island, it wo n''t be in a balloon, will it?
33516An important island?
33516An island?
33516And Jup be growling like that?
33516And are they good?
33516And if you are caught in a hurricane?
33516And now that you know us,added Cyrus Harding,"will you give us your hand?"
33516And now, what shall we do with our prize?
33516And shall we eat bread?
33516And the tide was low at the time?
33516And they do n''t happen to do for smoking?
33516And we have lost an opportunity to get back to our country?
33516And what distance is it to the Cape, captain?
33516And what is that?
33516And what is this tree which resembles a little palm?
33516And what shall we make of him, now we''ve got him?
33516And what will they burn instead of coal?
33516And who made this discovery?
33516And why should we have done it?
33516And why?
33516And you are quite certain of having seen this fire?
33516And you have brought him?
33516And you will be satisfied with no other wages than your food?
33516And you, my friend?
33516Are you quite sure that this is a man, or that he has ever been one?
33516At what distance are we from Granite House?
33516At what distance from the sea did you leave this turtle?
33516Because they give fevers?
33516Besides, how do you know that the bottle which enclosed the document may not have taken several years to come from Tabor Island to Lincoln Island?
33516But has Ayrton told the truth?
33516But is n''t there any mark or direction on these instruments, tools, or books, which would tell us something about them?
33516But the boat?
33516But then,observed Pencroft,"why did he entreat the help of his fellow- creatures?
33516But was it not a star?
33516But what are these beasts?
33516But what will they find?
33516But what''s in this chest?
33516But who is it that has played us this cool trick?
33516But who was it?
33516But who?
33516But, at any rate, is the water deep enough?
33516But, captain,asked Herbert,"what leads you to think that the brutishness of the unfortunate man began only a few months back?"
33516But, master,said Neb,"are you serious?
33516But,said Gideon Spilett,"can we hope that he will not escape, if once set at liberty?"
33516Can it be possible that our island is supernatural?
33516Can you guess, captain?
33516Come now, captain,exclaimed Pencroft,"what does that mean?
33516Could she not float in the river?
33516Curious?
33516Do n''t you know that the sea turned it over?
33516Do you by chance happen to think of establishing a telegraph?
33516Do you know what this plant is?
33516Do you think I could have a bullet in my jaw for five or six months without finding it out? 33516 Does not this appear strange to you?"
33516Electric?
33516Five days,cried Neb,"to build a boat?"
33516For how long a time?
33516Have you noticed, Mr. Spilett, how deeply sunk his eyes are?
33516Have you understood how our dog was so strangely thrown up out of the waters of the lake, after his struggle with the dugong?
33516However,resumed Gideon Spilett,"you do not deny that some day the coal will be entirely consumed?"
33516I thought, captain,said Herbert,"that turtles, once placed on their backs, could not regain their feet, especially when they are of a large size?"
33516Is it not rather far?
33516Is it tobacco?
33516Is she not safe at the mouth of the Mercy?
33516Is that all?
33516Is that your opinion, captain?
33516It is, then, the bread- tree?
33516It must then be admitted that the document has already a distant date?
33516It will be you then, Mr. Spilett, who will help me?
33516Living?
33516Living?
33516Might it not have been a long time already on the coast of the island?
33516Nothing will be easier; but is this a really useful thing?
33516Of wood?
33516Our boat?
33516Pardon this rascal?
33516Pencroft,said he,"can you restrain your impatience for one hour only?"
33516Shall we leave him bound?
33516Shall, we go on?
33516Should you be surprised to hear him beginning to speak to us some day?
33516Sir,said he to Harding,"your companions and you, are you English?"
33516Snow at this time?
33516So you think that these people have already quitted the island?
33516So, Pencroft,asked the engineer,"if a ship has been wrecked on these banks, is it not astonishing that there is now no trace of her remaining?"
33516The idea is good,replied the reporter;"but could you climb to the top of those giants?"
33516The name of this creek, my friends? 33516 Then how did it manage?"
33516Then this must be the castaway?
33516Then what conclusion may be drawn?
33516Then why venture there?
33516Then, if I understand you right, captain,said Herbert,"the vessel has left again?"
33516There are whalers in these quarters, then?
33516To- morrow?
33516Valuable?
33516We?
33516Well a cup of coffee, my friend?
33516Well now, and the ladder,cried the sailor;"who can the gentleman have been who sent us that down?"
33516Well, Captain Harding,asked Pencroft,"what do you think of our vessel?"
33516Well, Pencroft,asked Cyrus Harding,"can you not anchor off the Cape?"
33516Well, is not the captain the best engineer in his profession? 33516 Well, where would you put her, Pencroft?"
33516Well, who knows,returned the reporter,"who knows but that we may be much nearer inhabited land than we think?"
33516Well?
33516What are they?
33516What are you thinking of, captain? 33516 What can Top be barking in that way for?"
33516What do you recognise?
33516What do you want to say, Neb?
33516What is it, captain?
33516What is it?
33516What is it?
33516What is it?
33516What is the good?
33516What is the matter, Top?
33516What o''clock is it?
33516What voyage, Pencroft?
33516What will you do then?
33516What would be the use of that?
33516What would you have?
33516What year?
33516What''s in this chest? 33516 What''s the matter now?"
33516What''s the matter,replied the sailor,"a rock?"
33516What''s the matter?
33516What''s the matter?
33516What?
33516What?
33516When you were returning from Tabor Island, Pencroft,continued the engineer,"you said that a fire appeared on Lincoln Island?"
33516When?
33516Where can they have crossed?
33516Where is he going to?
33516Where is he? 33516 Who but the hunter who fired the bullet?"
33516Who is that?
33516Who knows?
33516Who knows?
33516Who was it? 33516 Why not donkeys?"
33516Why so?
33516Why? 33516 Why?"
33516Will it not be better to wait until we have explored it to its mouth?
33516Will you give me your hand?
33516Will you live with us?
33516With this we could go round--"The world?
33516Wolves, jaguars, or apes?
33516Would you not, in that case, Pencroft, attempt the adventure?
33516You also, Herbert?
33516You are going to enter the service of Captain Cyrus Harding?
33516You do n''t mean to say, captain,interrupted Pencroft,"that we burn diamonds in our stoves in the shape of coal?"
33516You have found the castaway?
33516You hope, then, Cyrus, to succeed in reforming the man?
33516You know the value which castaways set on such articles as these, the last remains of a wreck? 33516 You once spoke of an apparatus which would take the place of the long ladders at Granite House, captain,"said he;"wo n''t you make it some day?"
33516You think that he has quitted the island?
33516You think that he will recover his senses?
33516You wish to join the colony?
33516You, Herbert, no doubt?
33516165"POOR FELLOW,"MURMURED THE ENGINEER 169 THE EXPERIMENT 175"WHO ARE YOU?"
33516All at once, the lad, who had strolled by the river, came running back, and, pointing up the Mercy, exclaimed,--"What is floating there?"
33516And by what?"
33516And do you think now that she could undertake a voyage of some extent?"
33516And how long would it take to do this?
33516And now you will be our companion?"
33516And now, whence had this chest come?
33516And then, no wages, do you hear, my boy?
33516And what did they see?
33516And what''s that?"
33516And who knows what will become of the survivor of us after a long solitude on this island?
33516And who told you that I was not abandoned there-- that I was not condemned to die there?...
33516Are we going to take him as a servant?"
33516At last he folded his arms, then, in a hollow voice,--"Who are you?"
33516At what distance are we from this Tabor Island?"
33516Besides, would he be content to exchange his prison for another?
33516But did it not appear as if Providence had wished to reward them by sending them these productions of human industry?
33516But did there not exist in the island some animal which might supply the place of the horse, ass, or ox?
33516But how were they to be got at?
33516But was he himself convinced of the accuracy of this explanation?
33516But was not his calm only apparent?
33516But where will he touch?
33516But--""But what?"
33516By what right have you dragged me from my islet?...
33516Come now, is there no way of getting at them?"
33516Could there be some being hidden in its profoundest recesses?
33516Did a brighter light burn in the depths of that obscured mind?
33516Did it spread towards other parts of the island?
33516Did n''t you see?"
33516Did some recollection of his former calling return to him?
33516Did these men arrive here voluntarily or involuntarily, by disembarking on the shore or by being wrecked?
33516Did you meet with any accident?"
33516Do you know my past?...
33516Do you know what they are called in Australia and New Zealand?"
33516Do you know who I am-- what I have done-- why I was there-- alone?
33516Do you take our vessel for a wreck and us for porpoises?"
33516Do you think there could be any tie between you and me?...
33516During the first days passed by the stranger in Granite House, had he already given them reason to think that his savage nature was becoming tamed?
33516Elm or fir, both of which abounded in the island?
33516Ha, ha, Mr Spilett, what do you say to an island where shirts grow on the trees?"
33516Had he found in some corner of his brain a fleeting remembrance which recalled him to humanity?
33516Had the animals discovered that they were about to be attacked from another direction?
33516Had this well branches besides the communication with the sea?
33516Have you understood how Top was able to discover your retreat five miles from the cave in which I was lying?"
33516Herbert?"
33516How did he know where chance might one day cast his companions and himself in the event of their leaving their domain?
33516How many of them remain?"
33516However, there was no doubt that there had been a wreck Perhaps this incident was connected with that of the bullet?
33516If free, would he attempt to fly, or would he remain?
33516In fact, this bullet must have issued from a firearm, and who but a human being could have used such a weapon?
33516In short, was the soul returning to the body?
33516Is it air or is it water which is thus driven out?
33516It appeared so, as soon he was heard to express himself in these incoherent sentences:--"Why am I here?...
33516It was certain that the settlers would end by reinstating themselves in their domicile and driving out the intruders, but when and how?
33516Now should they undertake it immediately, and devote this day to it?
33516Now, should they seize them with violence and master them by force?
33516Now, what will happen if a hungry animal swallows one of these baits?
33516Now, who were these men?
33516Perhaps some cave, which it would be advisable to explore, existed there?
33516Perhaps strangers had landed on another part of the island?
33516Perhaps they were still there?
33516Should the island be inhabited after all, and should some one have taken possession of her?
33516Should they be in time to save him?
33516Since it was your intention to live alone, why did you throw into the sea the document which put us on your track?"
33516Spilett?"
33516Spilett?"
33516The bottle must go somewhere, and why not here as well as anywhere else?"
33516The reporter broke off one or two of these stalks and returned to the lad, to whom he said,--"What can this be, Herbert?"
33516Then, passing one moment close to Herbert, he stopped, and in a stifled voice,--"What month?"
33516This led Neb to say,--"Why, friend Pencroft, what more do you expect?"
33516Was he overwhelmed by the presence of men whose fellow he had once been?
33516Was he pining for his former savage life?
33516Was he weary of this return to a civilised mode of existence?
33516Was it not a partial eruption of the volcano, or perhaps some meteor?"
33516Was it remorse that overwhelmed him thus?
33516Was not his sadness only the result of his seclusion?
33516Was the sight of his fellow- creatures insupportable to him?
33516Well, captain-- and you, Mr. Spilett; and you, Herbert; and you, Neb-- aren''t you coming to try our new vessel?
33516Were they near Tabor Island?
33516What did they see?
33516What do you think about it, Cyrus?"
33516What was now happening in their country?
33516What was the matter with him?
33516What was the mystery of his life?
33516What was the result of the War of Secession?
33516What wood should be employed?
33516Where could it be hidden?"
33516Who is he?"
33516Who was it then?"
33516Who was this man?
33516Why did Jup join Top in a sort of common anxiety?
33516Why did he throw that paper into the sea?"
33516Will you allow me to live there with them?"
33516Wo n''t he be pleased?
33516Would not his presence disturb the little colony till then so united?
33516Would the stranger one day speak of it?
33516Your rescue, the case stranded on the sand, Top''s adventure, and lastly this bottle.... Shall we never have the answer to these enigmas?"
33516[ Illustration: HE SAW NOTHING SUSPICIOUS] Why did Top so often run round this opening?
33516[ Illustration: IS IT TOBACCO?]
33516[ Illustration:"WHO ARE YOU?"
33516cried Neb;"but are they good for anything?"
33516cried Pencroft"But what in the world can there be in it?"
33516cried Pencroft,"where is Jup?"
33516he asked,"and what do you claim to be to me?"
33516he asked,"how are you?"
33516he exclaimed;"one word only-- am I free?"
33516how are you going to manage that, captain?"
33516is it--?"
33516murmured the stranger"What is that worth?
33516or rather, to employ a word, which would be exactly applicable to him, was he not becoming tamed, like an animal in company with his master?
33516replied Herbert;"but you are not afraid that it will shut upon us, are you?"
33516said Neb,"these beasts can turn themselves over, then?"
33516said Neb;"but how are we to catch it?"
33516then you admit, Cyrus, that she was swallowed up without leaving any trace?"
33516was n''t it Ayrton who threw that bottle into the sea?
33516would he ever be a convalescent?
37652A dozen?
37652A picnic?
37652A prisoner? 37652 A what?
37652A what?
37652After all, where does it matter, so long as he receives Christian burial?
37652All quiet, I suppose? 37652 All ready, pater?"
37652Alone?
37652And Quexo?
37652And are there fish or marine animals in the bed of the ocean?
37652And how do you feel to- day?
37652And our boat; how shall we be able to leave the island now?
37652And water?
37652And where''s the canoe? 37652 Any luck?"
37652Any need to keep watch to- night, pater?
37652Any sign of the boat?
37652Any signs of the crew?
37652Anyone hurt?
37652Anything wrong?
37652Are n''t you nearly ready?
37652Are they doing anything for''ard?
37652Are you all right, sir?
37652Are you fit for a dash?
37652Are you hurt?
37652Are you making another trip to- day?
37652Are you ready to start?
37652Are you sure you are all right, dad?
37652Armed, of course?
37652Ask him whether we have plenty of sea room-- whether there is any danger of running ashore during the next hour or so?
37652Between whom?
37652But are we going straight to Ahii?
37652But do you expect another crowd of savages?
37652But how are we to get the gear up there-- including the useless lump of animated clay in the shape of myself?
37652But how are you going to stop the wheel? 37652 But how is she behaving?"
37652But what is the weight of the boat?
37652But where? 37652 But, I say, is n''t everything quiet?"
37652But,objected Ellerton,"what''s the use?
37652By the by, do you ever go to Tahiti?
37652By the tunnel?
37652Ca n''t we go back for her?
37652Ca n''t we go on deck?
37652Ca n''t you see what it is? 37652 Coming ashore, boss?"
37652Could n''t the boss bring over the rest of your pals and settle our score with those niggers?
37652Could n''t we smash the door with an axe?
37652Dead?
37652Did you leave the door open?
37652Do n''t you think we could rig up an electric alarm?
37652Do you hear that, Quexo?
37652Do you know its name, sir?
37652Do you know, Ellerton?
37652Do you think she''ll stay there?
37652Do you think that Terence and you can manage by yourselves?
37652Do you think there will be much of a struggle?
37652Dynamite?
37652Fine, is n''t it?
37652Finished it, then, pater?
37652Firearms?
37652Glass-- telescope-- see?
37652Going to start the motor?
37652Had n''t we better get Quexo ashore before it gets dark?
37652Had n''t we better see about baling her out?
37652Has n''t the other?
37652Have you ever tried to make a blaze that way?
37652Hoppy''s bull?
37652How are we going to get the brute on deck?
37652How are we to manage when the hull is brought close in shore?
37652How are you going to manage it?
37652How are you going to throw them?
37652How can we stop them taking to their canoes?
37652How deep is it here?
37652How did you get out of it?
37652How do you propose to do it?
37652How do you propose to get the cutter over the side?
37652How do you think you''ll stop two hundred natives if they set their minds on landing here? 37652 How far are we from Ni Atong?"
37652How far away is the stream-- I think you mentioned there was a stream in the bay?
37652How inclose it?
37652How is Quexo getting on?
37652How is the glass, Captain?
37652How?
37652Hurt? 37652 Hurt?"
37652I bet you never bought her at Hilo?
37652I do n''t want unnecessary violence; besides, if their canoes are destroyed, how can they leave the island? 37652 I hope you do n''t mean to show the white feather, Andy?"
37652I suppose we can not launch one of the canoes, provision her, and make a dash for safety?
37652I was in a hurry to tell you, and what does it matter now that the man has escaped?
37652I wonder what Hoppy is doing?
37652I wonder what''s up? 37652 If we can use the stuff to no better purpose, why not set a time- fuse, and give them another surprise?"
37652Is he asleep, or is he dead?
37652Is it always calm in the Doldrums?
37652Is it because the tide is falling?
37652Is n''t it awful, this gale?
37652Is n''t it superb?
37652Is n''t the heat oppressive?
37652Is n''t there a rift or a hole in the floor where we could bury him?
37652Is she really done for?
37652Is there one left?
37652Left behind? 37652 Make a bomb and roll it over the cliff?"
37652No sign of any canoes?
37652No; has it one?
37652Not a bad shot, eh, boss?
37652Now the question is, what is to be done with the stuff?
37652Now who''s right, sir?
37652Now, Ellerton, how''s your nerve?
37652Pleasant, is n''t it?
37652Quexo missing? 37652 Quite so; but where is the power required to turn the winches to come from?
37652Say, Andy,exclaimed Terence,"is n''t it about time I had a spell ashore?"
37652Say, boss?
37652Say, why? 37652 Say, why?"
37652See, our pursuers are gaining; you are quite sure the motor is thoroughly tuned up, I hope?
37652Seen anything of Blight?
37652Shall I give you a tow?
37652Shall I lend you four or five hands to work the sweeps?
37652Shall we go back for our axes?
37652Shall we let our men loose?
37652Shall we make a bolt for it? 37652 Shall we place some others in the gorge when it is dark?"
37652Strike me; wot''s this?
37652Terence, keep the light steady for a moment, will you?
37652That will, of course, come in handy; but wo n''t we require it on board?
37652The island''s free, I guess?
37652The ox?
37652Then we must arm ourselves?
37652Then we must have passed them?
37652Then what happened?
37652Then what happens to me?
37652Then what is it? 37652 Then what''s to be done?"
37652Then where does it lead to?
37652Then you advise me to get away from the island as soon as I can, and never return to it?
37652Then you do n''t want these fellows to have a set- to?
37652Then, how in the name of goodness, do you expect to get back?
37652They are willing to let the brutes free if you promise that your power''ll keep off the-- the-- you know what I mean, boss, the----"Evil eye?''
37652They wo n''t injure the boat?
37652Thick, is n''t it?
37652Thinking what, my boy?
37652Thirty feet, do you call it?
37652This is a present, is n''t it, boss?
37652Time?
37652Treasure, eh? 37652 Trouble in store?"
37652We must set watches to- night, I suppose?
37652Well, Quexo,said Andy, on the mulatto''s return,"what did the white man say?"
37652Well, lads,he exclaimed,"what do you think of our allies?"
37652Well, what can I do for you?
37652Well, where is he? 37652 Well?
37652Well?
37652Well?
37652What are they up to, pater?
37652What did you bring ashore?
37652What do they say?
37652What do you propose to do?
37652What do you think of that, sir?
37652What fellow is that?
37652What for?
37652What have we here?
37652What is it?
37652What is the matter with my nerves?
37652What is the value of the treasure?
37652What is to prevent us from digging a shallow trench and conducting the water right to the entrance to the tunnel?
37652What pals?''
37652What suspicions, sir?
37652What''s her length, do you think?
37652What''s that?
37652What''s that?
37652What''s the use? 37652 What''s to be done now?
37652What''s up, Terence?
37652What''s up?
37652What''s up?
37652What''s your business, might I ask?
37652What''s your game?
37652What''s yours?
37652What, these natives?
37652What?
37652Whatever can be done to save it?
37652When shall we be able to land, do you think?
37652When shall we start?
37652Where shall I make fast to?
37652Where to?
37652Where''s Blight?
37652Where''s his lamp? 37652 Where''s the searchlight?"
37652Why do n''t you want to let that chap Blight know we''ve a motor?
37652Why not get aboard the canoes, and let this''ere packet go?
37652Why not to- day? 37652 Why, sir?"
37652Why? 37652 Why?"
37652Will it hold?
37652Will she do it, I wonder?
37652Wo n''t we be able to have some bathes?
37652Would n''t a sewing machine be better?
37652You ai n''t going to shoot me?
37652You are not going to throw away your life, are you?
37652You are not hurt?
37652You are quite sure you can unshackle the thing easily?
37652You did?
37652You know him?
37652You know the course? 37652 You locked the door in the fence?"
37652You see the second terrace? 37652 You told him?"
37652You understand, Andy?
37652You-- Why, what''s the matter with the lad?
37652Afterwards the winning side secure those who are only stunned and----""And what?"
37652Already several of them, laden with spoil, were descending the cliff- path to their canoes; were the white men to be left unmolested?
37652And after?
37652And how?"
37652And you, Terence, would you not like to return to''Our Lady of the Snows''?"
37652Andy, will you please take Quexo with you and bring up a couple of barricoes of water?"
37652Are you ill?"
37652Are you ready?
37652Are you willing to go, lads?
37652At all events, Mr. McKay and his party were still in a position to offer resistance, but against what odds?
37652But I am awfully anxious to see, so what do you say to another turn at the winch?"
37652But can you lend me a revolver, cap''n?
37652But did n''t we give them a good licking when they pursued us in their canoes?
37652But how about a drink?
37652But how about a light?
37652But now, how about Blight?
37652But what are they up to now?"
37652But what do you say?
37652But what''s that I can see for''ard?"
37652But----""What?"
37652By the by, what was that noise we heard last night?"
37652CHAPTER II AGROUND For a brief instant Ellerton hesitated; ought he to return to his friends or make his way for''ard?
37652CHAPTER XIX THE PRISONER''S ESCAPE"Do you think they will ever return?"
37652Can we get over the reef, do you think, Hoppy?"
37652Can we land?"
37652Could you manage to come down here, do you think?"
37652Dare the pursuer use his revolver and stop this headlong flight?
37652Did you find any signs of the island having been inhabited?"
37652Do you think we might spare Blight a lamb, Andy?"
37652Each sheet is ten feet in height, is it not?"
37652Ellerton, you''re feeling fit, I hope?
37652Everything is ready, I suppose?"
37652Had his comrades searched in vain and had they abandoned their quest and left him to his fate?
37652Had n''t we better unload the boat?"
37652Has anyone any matches?"
37652Has anything gone wrong?"
37652Have you any matches?"
37652Have you anything to say?"
37652How are we to pass a sling round the brute''s body?"
37652How did these get here?"
37652How did you descend?"
37652How far did you fall?"
37652How long had he been in this hideous deathtrap?
37652How''s Terence?"
37652Hullo, Quexo, tired, eh?"
37652I must stay here-- what do you say, lads?"
37652I suppose Captain Perez is steering to the south''ard to try and avoid the main path of the hurricane?"
37652I suppose you do n''t object to being landed there?"
37652I wonder where they keep the fodder?"
37652In the meantime, lads, what do you say to a kind of picnic?"
37652Is Andy still on the beach?"
37652Is that so?"
37652McKay?"
37652Now will you please empty that case of biscuits?
37652One would have thought that your unpleasant experiences in connection with the_ Sea Belle_----""What d''ye mean?"
37652Say, are you traders?"
37652See yon hills?"
37652See?"
37652Shall I tell our men to push right in and burn their blessed canoes?"
37652Suppose that rogue has got the upper hand?
37652Terence, there''s a pencil and paper close to your elbow; will you please sketch a plan of a Union Jack?"
37652Terence, will you go back to the house and bring three or four spades?
37652Terence, will you please hand me over that signalling flag from the for''ard port locker?"
37652The rock afforded but a slender hold: either the fabric might become loosened, or his hand might be unable to keep up the strain, and then----?
37652Their allies were being driven back; but where were the white men?
37652Then came the question, how were they going to transport the crippled Mr. McKay to the shore?
37652Then:"What have you fellows been up to?"
37652This was done, but then came the difficulty: how were they to release the animal from the stall and drag it to the hatchway?
37652Understand?"
37652Was it a night, or many days and nights?
37652Were his companions at length overwhelmed by dint of numbers?
37652What chance do you think these fellows will have?"
37652What could be easier?
37652What did it mean?
37652What for?
37652What had happened?
37652What is the interior like?"
37652What lay behind it?
37652What noise, boss?"
37652What secret did it guard so well?
37652What your massa name is?''
37652What''s that?"
37652What''s your experience of these, Ellerton?"
37652When do you set sail for your own island?"
37652Where are you?"
37652Where''s a machine to be had?"
37652Where''s the wind?"
37652Who fired it?"
37652Why do you ask?"
37652Why do you ask?"
37652Why not come back to Ahii with us, and make those chaps from Teku clear off back to their own island?
37652Why should we chuck away our chance for a wounded nigger?"
37652Why, whatever is the matter with you, Andy?
37652Would it hold?
37652Would it not be well to carry a supply of provisions with us and store them in the cave?
37652Would the natives be content with their success, and re- embark with their booty?
37652You brought the signal flags, I hope?"
37652You do n''t imagine I''m afraid to tackle an unarmed man, do you?
37652You have plenty of ammunition?"
37652You quite understand?"
37652You understand?
37652You understand?"
37652_ Bounty_, for instance, did he not successfully accomplish a voyage of 4000 miles in an open boat in forty- one days?
37652asked Mr. McKay cheerfully; then realising that his son looked ill, he exclaimed:"What have you been doing, Andy?"
21551A Christian,said I,"what is that?"
21551Am I not blind-- how can I teach you?
21551And how could it be otherwise? 21551 And my chest, and my seal?"
21551And now, I say, where do you hold out? 21551 And what is grateful?"
21551And what is that?
21551And when do you think of leaving this island?
21551And you say that God will give us all that we ask for in our prayers?
21551And your father?
21551Are these all the birds that you have for food?
21551Are you much hurt, Frank Henniker?
21551Are you quite well?
21551Are you there, Frank?
21551Are you? 21551 Blind, what is blind?"
21551Bring me some more water, do you hear?
21551But are not you always?
21551But are we only to think of ourselves in this world, and not of others?
21551But did they never come into collision with the wild natives of the country?
21551But do you mean to say that you really like to drink that stuff?
21551But how can we do that, it is so thick and heavy?
21551But what are we to do with the potatoes?
21551But who is God? 21551 But who was Jesus Christ?"
21551But why did he so?
21551But will it never be understood then by anybody?
21551But wo n''t it make it cold at night?
21551But,said I,"this round glass-- what is that for?"
21551Ca n''t you see me?
21551Can you eat any dinner? 21551 Charity and mercy,"said I,"what are they?
21551Die?
21551Do I like to drink it? 21551 Do they still hold possession of it?"
21551Do you feel easier?
21551Do you know if they left anything behind them, Frank?
21551Do you think you could get to the cabin, if I helped you?
21551Do you think, then, that God prevented our going with them on purpose that we might not share their fate?
21551Do you think, then, that we shall starve?
21551Do you understand it yourself?
21551Do you want anything else?
21551Do you want anything?
21551Does He know, Frank?
21551Eat? 21551 Frank Henniker, did you speak?"
21551Frank Henniker, do you know that rock?
21551Had I not better run home and get arms?
21551Has England then completely lost the country she colonised?
21551Has God abandoned us?
21551Have you brought any with you?
21551Have you called long?
21551Have you never been able to call your own mother to your memory?
21551Have you no light at hand?
21551Have you no wish, then, to leave this island?
21551Have you used all the potatoes you brought up?
21551He was a good man, was he not?
21551Here,said I,"what is this?"
21551How are you this morning?
21551How could he be equal with God, if, as you said yesterday, God sent him down to be killed?
21551How did he die?
21551How did he die?
21551How is it possible?
21551How long have you been on this island?
21551How shall we manage it?
21551How?
21551I brought all this earth from there, and there is plenty of it; but what is the good of planting them?
21551I do not like interrupting you,I here observed,"but I certainly should like to know what is meant by the word lovers?"
21551I know that,replied he;"but what do I care now?"
21551I know what children are, as Jackson represented to me that I was the child of my father and mother-- but what makes children parish children?
21551I say, boy, have you a good stock of them dried chickens of yours?
21551I suppose,I here observed,"that the people who lived there were deeply impressed with their good fortune in finding such an asylum?"
21551I want to know the whole story of how we came to this island, who my father and mother were, and why you said that you hated me and my name?
21551If you take all the provision, of course you will take the lad with you?
21551Is she alive?
21551Is she sending a boat, boy?
21551Is that all you have gained by reading your Bible?
21551Is that you, Frank?
21551Is there anything else?
21551Is there no way?
21551Is there, my hearty,--where?
21551It must be alive,thought I;"is it a fish or a bird?"
21551Jackson,said I, kneeling down by him,"are you much hurt?"
21551Lucky for me, do you mean, Frank?
21551No one can drink this-- what can it be?
21551No!--yes!--can it be possible? 21551 Now what shall I bring in?"
21551Now, what have you brought this time?
21551Now, what is this?
21551Of course I do; why should I not be?
21551Perhaps not,replied Jackson;"his foot may have slipped, who knows?
21551Shall I read to you?
21551Shall I take Nero with me?
21551Shall I wake them?
21551Shall this go in?
21551Shall we have the mizen?
21551Then why have you not been kind to me? 21551 Then you killed him for love of his wife, and hate of himself?"
21551Then you will be punished when you die, will you not?
21551There''s the shovel,said I,"and the boat''s sail-- must I bring them down?"
21551To what republic do you allude?
21551Well, but we can get more, ca n''t we?
21551Were the immediate results of so large an addition to geographical knowledge, as beneficial to the entire human race as they ought to have been?
21551Were you born without a mother?
21551What are brushes and combs and scissors?
21551What are miracles?
21551What are parish children?
21551What are souls?
21551What can I do?
21551What did I sing to you last night?
21551What did you do?
21551What does he do there?
21551What does the Bible say-- that not a sparrow falls to the ground without His knowledge; and of how much more worth are you than many sparrows? 21551 What had become of your mother?"
21551What is a Bible, and what is a Prayer- book?
21551What is a parish clerk?
21551What is faith? 21551 What is there in it?"
21551What is, I thank you?
21551What temptations are we not free from here?
21551What then, it has eyes? 21551 What use can we make of that long line which they have left?"
21551What was that?
21551What''s a boat?
21551What''s a lady?
21551What''s a missionary?
21551What''s a mystery?
21551What''s an alphabet?
21551What''s the matter, master?
21551What, the diamonds?
21551What,said he,"and share their fate?"
21551What?
21551Where am I?
21551Where are they?
21551Where did you get that linen?
21551Where is South America?
21551Who are you?
21551Who is Nero?
21551Who spoke?
21551Who taught you to read?
21551Who''s there?
21551Who''s there?
21551Who?
21551Why am I to do that, mother?
21551Why did God keep the Jews apart from the Egyptians, and have them thrown in bondage?
21551Why do n''t you keep up with the lady? 21551 Why do n''t you wear some of them?"
21551Why is it called the Lord''s Prayer?
21551Why should he object to receive what he so much stands in need of?
21551Why should you have thought that?
21551Why, did you not say that you were born on this island, boy?
21551Why, do n''t you know that you''re blind, Jackson?
21551Why, where have you been all your life?
21551Why, you did n''t expect a regular hotel when you landed, did you, mate?
21551Will God hear you? 21551 Will you bring me some water for my eyes?
21551Will you come with me?
21551Will you? 21551 Wo n''t you have something to eat?"
21551Wo n''t you tell it to me?
21551Would you rather stay on the island with Nero, than go away without him?
21551Yes,replied I;"but is it not injuries to ourselves?
21551You called me, master?
21551You like songs, do you? 21551 You wo n''t be afraid of the seal,"said I,"will you?
21551` But who,''he asked,` was to be the ambassador from so stupendous a Power to these barbarous states? 21551 ` Do you think then that we are in danger?''
21551` Has my husband caught any fish, do you know, Jackson?'' 21551 ` How can I tell?''
21551` Not there?'' 21551 ` Why so, my dear?''
21551After a while he recommenced--"Who can ever prove that they were Henniker''s diamonds?"
21551After we had eaten our dinner, she said to me--"How could you contrive to live on this island, if you had no dried birds?"
21551And that no one could prove they were his-- this implied that Jackson had no right to them; indeed how could he have?
21551And whence comes that beautiful colour?
21551Are you afraid of him?"
21551Are you going to bed now?"
21551Are your clothes wet?"
21551As I looked at him, and recalled to mind his words,"Am not I an object of pity?"
21551As we sat at our meal, I said,"Dear mother, what are we to do next?"
21551As your father undressed, your mother said,` Does not that belt worry you a great deal, my dear?''
21551Besides, I have only two lines, and I might lose them both-- then what would become of me?
21551Bob, you fool, why could n''t you leave the animal alone?
21551But I asked myself how was this desirable object to be effected?
21551But are we to suppose that, because we, in our foolishness, can not comprehend His reasons, that therefore they must be cavilled at?
21551But can you tell me what makes it do so?"
21551But where was he?
21551But where?
21551But, I repeat, that we must study the whole of the Bible with faith, and not be continually asking ourselves,` Why was this done?''
21551Can you do that?"
21551Can you explain to me yourself?
21551Can you feel resentment against one in my wretched state?
21551Can you tell me?
21551Can you tell?
21551Come, boy, what have you got for our breakfast?
21551Did I ever prevent you from having water?"
21551Did I make much noise last night?"
21551Did you plant all these flowers and creepers which grow over the cabin?"
21551Do you ever pray to Him?"
21551Do you know what for?
21551Do you not say in the Lord''s Prayer,` Our Father which art in heaven?''
21551Do you now understand in what spirit the Bible should be read?"
21551Do you recollect?"
21551Do you think that you could walk to your bed- place?"
21551Do you understand how it is that that plant keeps alive-- grows every year-- every year throws out a large blue flower?
21551Do you understand me, Frank?"
21551Do you understand me?
21551Do you understand me?"
21551Do you understand?"
21551Does he know that we are starving?"
21551Does it mind the wind?"
21551Does not the commandment say,` Thou shalt not kill?''"
21551Had not the murder been already avenged?
21551Have you a hut or a cave to live in?"
21551Have you ever tried to sing?"
21551Have you put the belt on?"
21551He paused, as if he did not know my voice, and then said:"But I ca n''t see anything; how''s this?"
21551How am I to plant them?"
21551How big did you say that the cask was?"
21551How could I have learnt deceit?
21551How is it that the inside of an egg is changed into bird?
21551How is that the bird is covered with feathers, and has the power to fly?
21551How old do you think you are now?"
21551How?"
21551I ask you again, am I not an object of pity and commiseration?"
21551I asked my companion;"or has He forgotten that two of His creatures are in the deepest peril of their lives, from which He alone can save them?"
21551I confessed that he was, and then I asked myself the question, Can you forgive him who was the murderer of your father?
21551I could soon tell it you, if it were not for the last question,-- why I hated your name?
21551I pushed him for some time without success; but, at last, he opened his eyes, and said:"My watch already?"
21551I say, boy, where did you leave your trousers?"
21551I suppose you expect to be very happy if ever you get back to England?"
21551I was about to go up to the cabin for some birds, when another man called out:--"I say-- can you get us any water?"
21551I went to him and examined him-- was he asleep; or was he dead?
21551I wonder if they would run up my cabin?
21551In short, I read in darkness; and I may say that I almost knew the Bible by heart without understanding it.--How could I?
21551In that cask?
21551Is it not nearly daylight?"
21551Is it not so?"
21551Is there anything in the pannikin?"
21551Isolated as I had been, must it not have been innate?
21551It was on the third morning that he said--"I can talk to you now; what do you want to know?"
21551Looking into the wound, my desire of information induced me to say,"What are these little white cords which are cut through?"
21551Most truly was the question put by me,"Charity and mercy-- what are they?"
21551My little chap?
21551Now do you understand?"
21551Now look, Frank; is the next letter to O the shape of this?"
21551Now, John Gough, what do you intend to do?"
21551Now, can you forgive me?
21551Now, do you understand what I want?"
21551Or will you believe that I am master?"
21551Or will you wear it for me, as my mother would have done, if she had been alive?"
21551See the judgment of God-- am I not now precisely in his position, lying battered and crushed as he was?
21551Shall I kill him while he sleeps?"
21551Shall I pray now for both of us?"
21551Shall I wear the belt myself, or shall I put it in the bundle?
21551Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it,` Why hast thou made me thus?''
21551She examined the cabin and the bed- places, and then said:"Where do you sleep?"
21551Tell me now, yourself, what do you prefer and set most value upon, your belt of diamonds, or the iron kettle?"
21551The one addressed did so, and the man put it into my hands, saying,"Bring us that pail, boy, will you?"
21551The question is, will you give me the price, or will you not?
21551The reader may inquire how it was that I knew the exact time of the arrival of the birds?
21551Then perhaps you''ll tell us how to get something to eat, my hearty?"
21551There he was, apparently a gentleman of property and consideration; and I, what was I?
21551There they are, do you choose to buy them?"
21551Very well; and my name?"
21551Was he not already punished?
21551Was there no man,''he again asked,` great enough and bold enough to undertake a mission of such vast importance, attended by such terrible risks?
21551Well, what of Captain James, eh?"
21551What birds?"
21551What can they expect from Him in the way of mercy when they have shown none?
21551What do the Proverbs say?
21551What do you mean?"
21551What is the meaning of Henniker, I wonder?
21551What is your name?
21551What is your name?"
21551What next, O Lord of Heaven?"
21551What then was I to do?
21551What then, shall I tax him with it when he is awake, and then kill him?"
21551What trouble would you take for me, if I were blind now and not you?
21551What was it that you said just before I forgot everything this morning?"
21551What was it?
21551What was your reason then?"
21551What will you do?"
21551When I had answered the question, I said to her--"I have brought up more of the potatoes, as you call them; what am I to do with them?"
21551When I had told her all, I said--"Now, as they talk of not taking my chest, what shall I do?
21551Where could we be?
21551Where did I come by them?
21551Where is she?"
21551Where now could be the island I, though long so anxious to quit, now was a thousand times more desirous of beholding?
21551Where''s John Gough?
21551Where''s all on''em?"
21551Where''s the Captain?
21551Who are you that have guessed that?
21551Who are you?
21551Who left you on shore to get all ready for us?"
21551Who shall I begin with-- with my husband or with myself?"
21551Who would venture to be a messenger of peace and comfort to a cruel and savage nation?
21551Why did you thank God for the seamen having left us here, instead of taking us with them?"
21551Why does he feel so angry at my name?
21551Why should it do so?
21551Why should the flower always be blue?
21551Will you come again?
21551Will you do this for me?"
21551Will you take Nero with you?"
21551You ca n''t tell why, or how, or what causes produce these effects-- can you?"
21551You have read the history of Joseph and his brethren?"
21551You know which book I told you was the Prayer- book?"
21551You see me now-- are they not all avenged?"
21551You understand now?"
21551` Had he caught any fish when you were with him?''
21551` Shall I leave Jackson with you?''
21551and has not his vengeance fallen upon me even in this world?
21551and` God damn''-- but who is he?"
21551exclaimed he,"how shall I escape?"
21551inquired I; and then after a little thought I said,"You do n''t mean Nero, mother?"
21551replied I,"not until the birds come again, and that will not be for these next five moons?"
21551said one of the men, addressing me,"and how many of you are there here?"
29462A sailor''s head tells me that there is a road from here to the reef; is that true?
29462An American girl?
29462And how do you know,cries Peter back to them,"how do you know that we''ve water for ourselves?"
29462And our own, Jasper,says she,"is our own less?
29462And why not?
29462And why, Mister Jacob-- why do you say that?
29462And, reading it, you will ask Edmond to help you?
29462Are there not women to save in this house?
29462Are you hungry, Dolly, lad?
29462Better leave me? 29462 But what-- aren''t you afraid, man?"
29462Captain,says he,"what notions can I have which would n''t be in any sane head?
29462Did you hear that?
29462Do you like the island, do you like living here?
29462Do you see any road, Peter Bligh?
29462Do you see anything, captain?
29462Does Mister Gray say that?
29462Does he fear for the engine?
29462Fog out of your lungs, eh?
29462God be good to me-- saw man ever such a sight? 29462 Halloa, popguns,"cries Peter Bligh, in his Irish way;"what for now would any man be firing popguns at this time of the morning?"
29462Have you took it furnished, or are there neighbours, sir? 29462 Hold your tongue,"says I, in a whisper;"are you afraid of two young women, then?"
29462Hold, hold,shouts he;"is it you, Bob Williams?"
29462If a man told such a thing ashore, who''d believe him? 29462 If she is not unhappy, why have you come here, Monsieur Captain?
29462If you cry out like that, you''ll ruin your beautiful voice,said I;"has n''t any one ever asked you to sing hymns in a choir?
29462Is it fireflies or lanterns?
29462Is it you-- is it you yourself, Mr. Begg? 29462 Is the house struck, or am I dreaming it, doctor?
29462Is there any more up there?
29462It''s to ask after your health, Peter,said I, when we''d listened awhile,"what else should a man be firing after, unless he takes you for a rabbit?
29462Jasper,says she of a sudden,"have you read what I wrote in the book?"
29462Jasper,she asked, with something of a smile,"do you remember when I was married?"
29462Jasper,she said, her hand still on the switch of the lamp,"what miracle brings you to this place?"
29462Let them come, let them come,said I;"how''s the dark to help them?
29462March 3d.--If Jasper Begg should come to me, how would they receive him? 29462 Mean?"
29462Miss Ruth,said I,"how shall one man judge another?
29462Mistress,I said,"the ship''s there-- shall we go or stay?"
29462My God,I said,"what does it mean?"
29462Not so fast, not so fast,cried he;"do you know that this is private land, and you''ve no business ashore here?"
29462Peter,said I, suddenly, for I wished to turn their thoughts away from it,"are you forgetting it''s dinner- time?"
29462Regnarte,I said, upon an impulse,"you have guns in this house?"
29462Return it, sir,says he;"but are n''t you going aboard?"
29462Sleep- time and sun- time, is it fable or truth? 29462 The iron ladder by which the men come in,"I asked of the Italian, suddenly,"where is that, Regnarte?"
29462The ship that came ashore last night, Jasper?
29462They''re sleeping, aye, and what''s the waking to be? 29462 Those devils ashore are shooting the crew,"cried I;"did man ever hear such bloody work?
29462To the devil yourself,said I;"what''s that to do with you, and what may your name happen to be?"
29462Was that a rifle- shot or a stone from the hills?
29462We walking on the sea, the likes of which the parson talks about?
29462What are they saying, Peter-- what do you make of it?
29462What does he mean by sleep- time, lad?
29462What have they done to the ship?
29462What have you seen, Dolly Venn-- be quick, lad, for we ca n''t linger?
29462What is it, Clair- de- Lune? 29462 What kept you from the shelter?"
29462What news of the foot, sir?
29462What next?
29462What place is this, and where is the best parlour?
29462What shall we do, Jasper?
29462Where are the others?
29462Where is your old friend, the Frenchman?
29462Who, in thunder, are you?
29462Why do you compel me to speak?
29462Why not, doctor?
29462Why should n''t a man sleep on Ken''s Island? 29462 Why,"says I,"have n''t we come ashore to see you, my beauty, and does n''t the spectacle reward us?
29462Will you lie in the pool, then? 29462 Yonder,"cried he, in a voice grown deep and husky;"yonder, captain, what do you make of that?
29462You are not angry with me for being here, Jasper?
29462You wo n''t go alone, sir?
29462You''ll be Jasper Begg that sailed the lady''s yacht Manhattan?
29462Your friend has come,Edmond says;"but why am I not to know of it?
29462A year ago-- but what shall it profit to remember a year ago?
29462Ah, were you so blind that you have not known it from the first?"
29462And come,"says I, chaffing him,"are there any girls in this bit of a paradise?
29462And could we hold it against, it might be one, it might be three hundred men?
29462And if this truth was present in my mind, how should it be absent from the minds of the others?
29462And oh?"
29462And the poor people aboard-- what of them now?
29462And what am I going to do upon that, gentlemen?
29462And what now?"
29462And what of little Ruth then?
29462And what port d''you think you''re making for?"
29462And what prevents me-- the voices I have heard on the reef; or is it because I know-- I know?
29462And what sort of a port is Ken''s Island in the sleep- time for any Christian man?
29462And where would you be from, and what would you be wanting here?"
29462And who blames her for that?
29462And who should ask them to accept it without a last supreme attempt, a final assault, which should mend all or end all?
29462And you at my wedding, too-- is it really not more than twelve long months ago?"
29462Are you game for that, Dolly-- are you game, my boy?"
29462Are you going ashore to Ken''s Island or will you swim awhile?
29462Are you sure that the cavern below is empty, or do you still count men in it?"
29462Are you sure that your husband has any part in it-- are you sure he''s as bad as you think him?"
29462Aye, Peter, is n''t that so?
29462Aye, the three in the engine- house, how came I to forget them?
29462Aye, you''ll stand by Mister Jacob, lads, I may tell him that?"
29462But Miss Ruth, who had always been one for the towns and cities and the bright things of life-- what did she think of it?
29462But should we-- could we?
29462But what of Jasper, my friend; what of him?
29462But where to now-- aye, that''s the question; where to?"
29462But why do you ask, Monsieur Captain?
29462But, supposing I can not go away-- what then?
29462Can you get as far, captain?"
29462Can you range them, Dolly, or must you wait?
29462Could they believe such good fortune, those who seemed to have but minutes to live?
29462Czerny ask you here?"
29462Czerny said it because you are her friend?
29462Czerny, then?"
29462Czerny, young lady?"
29462Did man ever hear of such a villainy-- to fire a good ship in her misfortune?
29462Did ye see the hair of him, captain-- did ye see the hair?"
29462Did you ever hear that I was a bit of a strong man, Dolly?
29462Do n''t you know me?"
29462Do n''t you know that she''s his wife, doctor-- his wife?"
29462Do n''t you think as he''d better be getting aboard again?"
29462Do we look like highwaymen or honest fellows?
29462Do you believe, Jasper, that a man can fill his house with gold as this is filled-- this wild house so far from the world-- and fill it honestly?
29462Do you blame a woman''s weakness?
29462Do you hear any sound?"
29462Do you hear me, Seth Barker-- do you hear me?"
29462Do you say there are two of them?"
29462Do you suppose I''m the one to die up here like a rat in a trap?
29462Do you take a plain word or do you not, Mister Begg?"
29462Do you wonder that I laughed at them and treated it as any sane man, not given to fables, would have done?
29462Does anything occur to you?"
29462Does he, I wonder, so think of me?
29462Does that put heart into you, Peter, or does it not?
29462Eh, Dolly, lad,"said I to him,"you could make love every day, could n''t you?"
29462Eh, Peter, are you, too, of Jacob''s mind?
29462For how could we know that the Southern Cross would be at the bottom of the sea, a thousand fathoms down, before the week was run?
29462For how should I know what long days must pass before I was to leave Ken''s Island again?
29462For if Czerny must hold his house against the world, how should he hold it with one door of two open to the sea?
29462For so the shadow was lifted from us that for a little while our eyes could not see the light; and, unbelieving, we asked,"Is this the truth?"
29462For what does a man do when he sees some one in a house and the front door''s slammed in his face?
29462For why should two men let three pass up and raise no alarm when alarm might mean so much?
29462For why should we call false sorrow upon that bright hour?
29462Fortune has strange chances, but who would have named such a chance as this?
29462Grunt?
29462Had it been told to me under any other circumstances, my reply would have been:"Dolly, my lad, since when have you taken to sleep- walking?"
29462He paused for a little while, and then he said quietly:"You would be friends of the Princess''s, no doubt?"
29462He''ll give them food to- day; but how long will they drift like cattle for the rain to beat on?
29462Help me and I''ll tell you-- and oh, Mister Begg, do n''t you see that this gun was put here to cover that very place?"
29462How can I believe it, Jasper?
29462How can you think of coming here-- oh, how can you do it?"
29462How could I, when I knew the folks that were abroad on Ken''s Island?
29462How could he help me?
29462How could they know what anxious ears and itching hands waited for their reply?
29462How does the sleep- time concern me?"
29462How many do you expect to find below?
29462How many more in this place now, Benno Regnarte?"
29462How may a woman go when a hundred watch her every hour?
29462How should a man forget a thing like that?"
29462How will it fare with Captain Nepeen?"
29462I asked her on an impulse;"what part of this queer house does he sling his hammock in?"
29462I asked him;"how are you feeling now?"
29462I could wonder no longer that they called the truce; and yet, knowing why they called it, what was I to do?
29462I cried,"you do n''t mean that Clair- de- Lune?
29462I did not ask him, as others might have asked him,''What has your life been?
29462I did not know the truth; what woman would have guessed it?"
29462I heard that you were starving in the hills; but how could I help-- how could I, Jasper?
29462I never answered little Dolly Venn when he asked me,"Do you think there''s danger, sir?"
29462I thought that I heard a sound in the shadows, and imagining it to be one of the servants, I asked,"Who is there?"
29462I wonder where all the people are?
29462I''m not taking any, lad-- my features is n''t regular, as my poor----""Peter, Peter,"said I, bringing him to,"so it''s top- side to- day?
29462If there are houses there, and stores for the sun- time, who will shut them to this horde of desperadoes?
29462If they can go through with it, why not we-- great men that have the sea''s good health in them?
29462If they would know all about us, what''s to prevent them?
29462Is he devil or man that he refuses them food and drink?
29462Is it Christianity to rob an honest man of his victuals?
29462Is it all real or did I dream it?
29462Is it living men or dead, or do my eyes deceive me?"
29462Is it over, Peter?
29462Is it really Jasper Begg?"
29462Is it sea or shore, a glass in my cabin or what the natives will sell you in the log- cabins over yonder?"
29462Is it the madhouse or the ground?
29462Is it true or false?"
29462Is n''t that a sight to keep a man up?
29462Is the young lady coming aboard, sir?
29462Is the young lady deaf that you want to bawl like a harbour- master?
29462It is the water I am thinking of, captain; what are we going to do for water?"
29462Jasper, what shall we do-- what shall we do next?"
29462Let the fog drift from Ken''s Island, the woods awake, life stir again, and how stood we-- where was our benefit?
29462May- be you find yourself a bit peckish, captain?"
29462Mr. Denton, will you please to tell them that Captain Begg lunches with me-- as soon as possible?"
29462Of whom?"
29462Oh, how can you know, how can you guess the things I fear and dread in this awful place?
29462Presently he said:"Captain, a man does n''t shoot with his foot, does he?"
29462Reader of a plain seaman''s story, can you come with me on such a journey as I and four stout hearts made on that unforgotten day?
29462Rob them of food and drink, and what security have we that they will continue at the task?
29462Saw any one such a thing as that?"
29462Shall I say that he is a good man because sometimes, when he has ceased to kill and torture those who serve him, he acts as other men?
29462Shall I say,''Yes, I have misjudged him,''the man who has shot my servant here in this room and left me with the dead?
29462Shall I tell it to the winds and the waves?
29462Shall I tell this party he''d better be getting aboard again, eh, ma''am?
29462Shall we see our home again-- you and I?
29462She spoke of the madhouse, and who''ll deny, with reason?
29462Should we say the same of them when daylight came?
29462That he is kind, cruel; that we love him, hate him?
29462That she was truly alarmed, and rightly so, I knew well; but what could I do?
29462The comrades at my side ask again and again,"Do you see anything, captain?"
29462The fog will fill it in five minutes, and what then?
29462The keys-- where lay the keys?
29462The men that the dark patches harboured, where were they?
29462The story gripped them like a vice-- and who shall wonder at that?
29462The talk pleased her, but giving her no time to think about it, I went on:"Mister Czerny, now, he would be living by here, I suppose?"
29462The thing that remained to tell was, had we the strength and the breath to reach it?
29462Then what of the engine- room?
29462There is a ladder there, and-- oh, Jasper, what do you mean?"
29462There is a ship on the Caskets-- a ship, do you hear?"
29462This sea would best the biggest boat that ever a ship carried-- it will blow harder in an hour, and what then?
29462This was but an interlude in which man could ask of man,"What next?"
29462To the daughters of my master I give the artiste''s name-- why not?
29462Was I wrong to believe that you would forget the promise?"
29462Was it a boast for a man to stake all on a throw at such an hour?
29462Was it chance or madness that I should pass it by?
29462Was it the flag which friend or foe had raised?
29462Was it well with the ship or ill?
29462Was not the world before us, the awakening glory of Ken''s Island at our feet?
29462Was she above or below the sea?
29462Was the key on Czerny''s person or here in one of the drawers about?
29462Was there ever such a story?
29462We can not go down to the island, for does n''t she say it''s death to be caught there?
29462We have food for three week-- month; but what come after?
29462We lay all together in the turret, and very methodically, as seamen will, we stanched our wounds and asked,"What next?"
29462We were going into the unknown; and we went with timorous steps, each asking himself,"Shall I live to see the day again?"
29462What chance or miracle would show me those?
29462What else you look for?
29462What escape from the island?
29462What escape was there from that place?
29462What eyes would they have for us when their salvation lay aboard the yacht?
29462What for they fight?
29462What genius had pitched upon such a house under the waves?
29462What good the key when men have guns?"
29462What had become of the ship?
29462What harbour, then, is open to them?
29462What haven may they look for?"
29462What hope for her or for me, I ask again?
29462What hope of mercy had we from such a man?
29462What is Edmond Czerny here for?
29462What is to become of Jasper, my friend-- who will help him?
29462What man would n''t have held his tongue at such a time, or argued with himself that it might end badly, and he never see the sun again?
29462What more can I do?"
29462What nonsense will he talk next?"
29462What other man, I ask, would have let go his hold of the rocks when hold meant so much to him and that fish swam below?
29462What other need could we think of?
29462What shall I tell you about him?
29462What should I say, then, to the mutineers, how answer them?
29462What should a man remember then but those who counted upon him?
29462What sort of a man is he, and where does he happen to be at this particular moment?
29462What sort of men did you say that they were?"
29462What spirit of evil breathed upon this dreadful place?
29462What then?
29462What time do you put her about to go ashore, sir?"
29462What will be the end of it all?
29462What would you say now to an Irish stew with a bit of bacon in it, and a glass of whisky to wash it down?
29462What''s behind that door, now, and where may you have come from?
29462When he has spoken it will be time enough to ask, What next?"
29462When should we see her again?
29462Whence out of the night shall the danger come?
29462Where are they, man, where are they?"
29462Where are they, then, and what keeps them?"
29462Where did she lie?
29462Where''s Seth Barker-- why does n''t he come down?
29462Where''s your courage, man?
29462Whereby did you hitch up names like those?"
29462Who else but the cleverest would have thought of this place, and come here like a human vulture to feed upon ships and men?
29462Who else will listen?
29462Who finds the money for another steamer?
29462Who knows?
29462Who was to befriend little Ruth Bellenden now?
29462Who was to help us in our plight?
29462Who''ll gainsay that it was an unnatural thing?
29462Who''s to feed them, who''s to house them?
29462Who, in the agony of waiting, ever thinks aright or draws the truthful picture?
29462Why are they firing?"
29462Why did he do it, you ask?
29462Why do you love me?''
29462Why does he skulk like a thief?
29462Why go home, messieurs, if you not have any?
29462Why is he frightened of me?
29462Why shall he not come, captain?"
29462Why shall they not take the house?
29462Why should a man leave his shipmates if it is n''t by an accident?
29462Why should she be unhappy?"
29462Why should the rogues hide their beautiful faces?
29462Why should they notice me when there were a hundred such in Czerny''s house?
29462Why should they wait?
29462Why, look at it-- what was the only word she had the time or the chance to say?
29462Why, what would the master have to say, he coming home from foreign parts and you not ashore to meet him?
29462Why, where''s your commissariat?
29462Will any hear it?
29462Will he be talking any more?"
29462Will he tell them, I wonder, that Ruth Bellenden is dead?
29462Will it be forever?
29462Will the day bring waiting?
29462Will the night never speak to us?
29462Will they live a day in the fogs we know of?
29462Will you go there or hold back?
29462Will you run down and thank him kindly?"
29462Will you see them die before our very eyes?"
29462Will you stop her, sir, or shall we go dead slow?"
29462Would any man, I ask, have believed that he could walk into such a trap and get out of it unharmed?
29462Would fogs turn you back?"
29462Would the light never come; would that breaking East never speed its joyous day?
29462Would the ship ever come back?
29462Would the sleep- time endure long, and should we live through it?
29462Would they not look to us for the satisfaction the chief rogue denied to them?
29462Would you shoot the sea?
29462Would you starve your crew and think nothing of it?
29462You are brave men, and you have all a woman''s trust and gratitude; but, Jasper, when my husband comes, what will you say to him?
29462You are her friend, perhaps; you would know that she is unhappy?"
29462You are n''t afraid of them, surely?"
29462You will go away before the sleep- time, monsieur?"
29462You will help me to do that, Peter?"
29462You''ll be here, doctor, no doubt, to ascertain the truth of it?
29462You''ll do that, sir?"
29462Your party will be more than that?"
29462Your ship gone?
29462added Peter Bligh;"aye, that''s it, captain, where''s the dinner to come from?"
29462asked I at last;"is it true, doctor?"
29462asked I, for my breath was coming short now;"do you see any road, man?"
29462cried I, in astonishment,"not heard of her-- why, what shore do you hail from, then?
29462cried I, the seaman''s habit coming to me at the dreadful spectacle,"was ever such a thing heard of?
29462cried I;"do n''t you see there''s water ahead?"
29462cried she;"why do you come alone?
29462cries Peter, as though in amazement;"did I say things that ought n''t to be said?
29462cries he all at once, bringing out the words like a pump might have done;"yonder on the hillside, shipmates-- is it fireflies or lanterns?"
29462cries he,"and what may you be wanting, my hearties, and what flag do you sail under?"
29462for what right have I to serve you before him?
29462is it real?
29462said I,"if this is it-- if this is it----"And why should it not have been?
29462said she, between her sobs; and what could I do, what could any man do who would kiss the ground a woman walks upon but has no right or title to?
29462she exclaimed,"what are you going to do, Jasper?"
29462she kept on saying,"what shall we do next?
29462what did I not see?
29462who could tell?
