Well
,
that
is
the
worst
of
it
,
certainly
.
Are
you
prepared
,
then
,
to
take
your
chance
of
that
?
"
"
I
've
been
prepared
and
had
my
mind
made
up
long
ago
,
"
cried
Peterkin
,
swaggering
about
the
deck
with
his
hands
thrust
into
his
breeches
pockets
.
"
The
fact
is
,
Jack
,
I
do
n't
believe
that
Tararo
will
be
so
ungrateful
as
to
eat
us
,
and
I
'm
quite
sure
that
he
'll
be
too
happy
to
grant
us
whatever
we
ask
;
so
the
sooner
we
go
in
and
win
the
better
.
"
Peterkin
was
wrong
,
however
,
in
his
estimate
of
savage
gratitude
,
as
the
sequel
will
show
.
The
schooner
was
now
put
before
the
wind
,
and
after
making
a
long
run
to
the
southward
,
we
put
about
and
beat
up
for
the
south
side
of
Mango
,
where
we
arrived
before
sunset
,
and
hove-to
off
the
coral
reef
.
Here
we
awaited
the
arrival
of
a
canoe
,
which
immediately
put
off
on
our
rounding-to
.
When
it
arrived
,
a
mild-looking
native
,
of
apparently
forty
years
of
age
,
came
on
board
,
and
taking
off
his
straw
hat
,
made
us
a
low
bow
.
He
was
clad
in
a
respectable
suit
of
European
clothes
;
and
the
first
words
he
uttered
,
as
he
stepped
up
to
Jack
and
shook
hands
with
him
,
were
:
"
Good-day
,
gentlemen
.
We
are
happy
to
see
you
at
Mango
.
You
are
heartily
welcome
.
"
After
returning
his
salutation
,
Jack
exclaimed
,
"
You
must
be
the
native
missionary
teacher
of
whom
I
have
heard
--
are
you
not
?
"
"
I
am
.
I
have
the
joy
to
be
a
servant
of
the
Lord
Jesus
at
this
station
.
"
"
You
're
the
very
man
I
want
to
see
,
then
,
"
replied
Jack
;
"
that
's
lucky
.
Come
down
to
the
cabin
,
friend
,
and
have
a
glass
of
wine
.
I
wish
particularly
to
speak
with
you
.
My
men
there
"
--
pointing
to
Peterkin
and
me
--
"
will
look
after
your
people
.
"
