Nay

added

"
if
such
be
your
unhappy
case
,
you
are
,
in
the
sight
of
God
,
much
worse
than
these
savages
--
forgive
me
,
my
young
friends
,
for
saying
so
--
for
they
have
no
knowledge
,
no
light
,
and
do
not
profess
to
believe
;
while
you
,
on
the
contrary
,
have
been
brought
up
in
the
light
of
the
blessed
Gospel
and
call
yourselves
Christians
.
These
poor
savages
are
indeed
the
enemies
of
our
Lord
;
but
you
,
if
ye
be
not
true
believers
,
are
traitors
!
"
I
must
confess
that
my
heart
condemned
me
while
the
teacher
spoke
in
this
earnest
manner
,
and
I
knew
not
what
to
reply
.
Peterkin
,
too
,
did
not
seem
to
like
it
,
and
,
I
thought
,
would
willingly
have
escaped
.
But
Jack
seemed
deeply
impressed
,
and
wore
an
anxious
expression
on
his
naturally
grave
countenance
,
while
he
assented
to
the
teacher
's
remarks
,
and
put
to
him
many
earnest
questions
.
Meanwhile
the
natives
who
composed
our
crew
,
having
nothing
particular
to
do
,
had
squatted
down
on
the
deck
and
taken
out
their
little
books
containing
the
translated
portions
of
the
New
Testament
,
along
with
hymns
and
spelling-books
,
and
were
now
busily
engaged
--
some
vociferating
the
alphabet
,
others
learning
prayers
off
by
heart
,
while
a
few
sang
hymns
--
all
of
them
being
utterly
unmindful
of
our
presence
.
The
teacher
soon
joined
them
,
and
soon
afterwards
they
all
engaged
in
a
prayer
,
which
was
afterwards
translated
to
us
,
and
proved
to
be
a
petition
for
the
success
of
our
undertaking
and
for
the
conversion
of
the
heathen
.
While
we
were
thus
engaged
a
canoe
put
off
from
shore
,
and
several
savages
leaped
on
deck
,
one
of
whom
advanced
to
the
teacher
and
informed
him
that
Tararo
could
not
come
on
board
that
day
,
being
busy
with
some
religious
ceremonies
before
the
gods
,
which
could
on
no
account
be
postponed
.
He
was
also
engaged
with
a
friendly
chief
,
who
was
about
to
take
his
departure
from
the
island
,
and
therefore
begged
that
the
teacher
and
his
friends
would
land
and
pay
a
visit
to
him
.
To
this
the
teacher
returned
answer
that
we
would
land
immediately
.
"
Now
,
lads
,
"
said
Jack
as
we
were
about
to
step
into
our
little
boat
,
"
I
'm
not
going
to
take
any
weapons
with
me
,
and
I
recommend
you
to
take
none
either
.
We
are
altogether
in
the
power
of
these
savages
;
and
the
utmost
we
could
do
,
if
they
were
to
attack
us
,
would
be
to
kill
a
few
of
them
before
we
were
ourselves
overpowered
.
I
think
that
our
only
chance
of
success
lies
in
mild
measures
.
Do
n't
you
think
so
?
"
To
this
I
assented
gladly
;
and
Peterkin
replied
by
laying
down
a
huge
bell-mouthed
blunderbuss
,
and
divesting
himself
of
a
pair
of
enormous
horse-pistols
,
with
which
he
had
purposed
to
overawe
the
natives
!
We
then
jumped
into
our
boat
and
rowed
ashore
.
On
reaching
the
beach
we
were
received
by
a
crowd
of
naked
savages
,
who
shouted
a
rude
welcome
,
and
conducted
us
to
a
house
or
shed
where
a
baked
pig
and
a
variety
of
vegetables
were
prepared
for
us
.
Having
partaken
of
these
,
the
teacher
begged
to
be
conducted
to
the
chief
;
but
there
seemed
some
hesitation
,
and
after
some
consultation
among
themselves
,
one
of
the
men
stood
forward
and
spoke
to
the
teacher
.
"
What
says
he
?
"
inquired
Jack
when
the
savage
had
concluded
.
"
He
says
that
the
chief
is
just
going
to
the
temple
of
his
god
,
and
can
not
see
us
yet
;
so
we
must
be
patient
,
my
friend
.
"
"
Well
,
"
cried
Jack
,
rising
,
"
if
he
wo
n't
come
to
see
me
,
I
'll
e
'
en
go
and
see
him
.
Besides
,
I
have
a
great
desire
to
witness
their
proceedings
at
this
temple
of
theirs
.
Will
you
go
with
me
,
friend
?
