"
And
what
,
is
it
that
my
friends
wish
to
say
to
me
?
"
he
inquired
.
The
teacher
explained
that
we
came
to
beg
that
Avatea
might
be
spared
.
"
Tell
him
,
"
said
Jack
,
"
that
I
consider
that
I
have
a
right
to
ask
this
of
him
,
having
not
only
saved
the
girl
's
life
,
but
the
lives
of
his
own
people
also
;
and
say
that
I
wish
her
to
be
allowed
to
follow
her
own
wishes
,
and
join
the
Christians
.
"
While
this
was
being
translated
the
chief
's
brow
lowered
,
and
we
could
see
plainly
that
our
request
met
with
no
favourable
reception
.
He
replied
with
considerable
energy
and
at
some
length
.
"
What
says
he
?
"
inquired
Jack
.
"
I
regret
to
say
that
he
will
not
listen
to
the
proposal
.
He
says
he
has
pledged
his
word
to
his
friend
that
the
girl
shall
be
sent
to
him
,
and
a
deputy
even
now
on
this
island
awaiting
the
fulfilment
of
the
pledge
.
"
Jack
bit
his
lip
in
suppressed
anger
.
"
Tell
Tararo
,
"
he
exclaimed
with
a
flashing
eye
,
"
that
if
he
does
not
grant
my
demand
it
will
be
worse
for
him
.
Say
I
have
a
big
gun
on
board
my
schooner
that
will
blow
his
village
into
the
sea
if
he
does
not
give
up
the
girl
.
"
"
Nay
,
my
friend
,
"
said
the
teacher
gently
,
"
I
will
not
tell
him
that
.
We
must
'
overcome
evil
with
good
.
'
"
"
What
does
my
friend
say
?
"
inquired
the
chief
,
who
seemed
nettled
by
Jack
's
looks
of
defiance
.
"
He
is
displeased
,
"
replied
the
teacher
.
