turned
away
with
a
smile
of
contempt
,
and
walked
towards
the
men
who
carried
the
baskets
of
vegetables
,
and
who
had
now
emptied
the
whole
on
the
beach
in
an
enormous
pile
.
"
What
are
they
doing
there
?
"
I
inquired
.
"
I
think
that
they
are
laying
out
a
gift
which
they
intend
to
present
to
some
one
,
"
said
the
teacher
.
At
this
moment
a
couple
of
men
appeared
,
leading
a
young
girl
between
them
,
and
going
towards
the
heap
of
fruits
and
vegetables
,
placed
her
on
top
of
it
.
We
started
with
surprise
and
fear
,
for
in
the
young
female
before
us
we
recognised
the
Samoan
girl
,
Avatea
.
We
stood
rooted
to
the
earth
with
surprise
and
thick-coming
fears
.
"
Oh
my
dear
young
friend
!
"
whispered
the
teacher
in
a
voice
of
deep
emotion
;
while
he
seized
Jack
by
the
arm
,
"
she
is
to
be
made
a
sacrifice
even
now
!
"
"
Is
she
?
"
cried
Jack
with
a
vehement
shout
,
spurning
the
teacher
aside
,
and
dashing
over
two
natives
who
stood
in
his
way
,
while
he
rushed
towards
the
heap
,
sprang
up
its
side
,
and
seized
Avatea
by
the
arm
.
In
another
moment
he
dragged
her
down
,
placed
her
back
to
a
large
tree
,
and
wrenching
a
war-club
from
the
hand
of
a
native
who
seemed
powerless
and
petrified
with
surprise
,
whirled
it
above
his
head
,
and
yelled
,
rather
than
shouted
,
while
his
face
blazed
with
fury
,
"
Come
on
,
the
whole
nation
of
you
,
an
ye
like
it
,
and
do
your
worst
!
"
It
seemed
as
though
the
challenge
had
been
literally
accepted
;
for
every
savage
on
the
ground
ran
precipitately
at
Jack
with
club
and
spear
,
and
doubtless
would
speedily
have
poured
out
his
brave
blood
on
the
sod
had
not
the
teacher
rushed
in
between
them
,
and
raising
his
voice
to
its
utmost
,
cried
:
"
Stay
your
hands
,
warriors
!
It
is
not
your
part
to
judge
in
this
matter
!
It
is
for
Tararo
,
the
chief
,
to
say
whether
or
not
the
young
man
shall
live
or
die
!
"
