The
natives
were
arrested
;
and
I
know
not
whether
it
was
the
gratifying
acknowledgment
of
his
superiority
thus
made
by
the
teacher
,
or
some
lingering
feeling
of
gratitude
for
Jack
's
former
aid
in
time
of
need
,
that
influenced
Tararo
,
but
he
stepped
forward
,
and
waving
his
hand
,
said
to
his
people
,
"
Desist
.
The
young
man
's
life
is
mine
.
"
Then
turning
to
Jack
,
he
said
,
"
You
have
forfeited
your
liberty
and
life
to
me
.
Submit
yourself
,
for
we
are
more
numerous
than
the
sand
upon
the
shore
.
You
are
but
one
:
why
should
you
die
?
"
"
Villain
!
"
exclaimed
Jack
passionately
.
"
I
may
die
,
but
assuredly
I
shall
not
perish
alone
!
I
will
not
submit
until
you
promise
that
this
girl
shall
not
be
injured
!
"
"
You
are
very
bold
,
"
replied
the
chief
haughtily
,
"
but
very
foolish
.
Yet
I
will
say
that
Avatea
shall
not
be
sent
away
--
at
least
,
for
three
days
.
"
"
You
had
better
accept
these
terms
,
"
whispered
the
teacher
entreatingly
.
"
If
you
persist
in
this
mad
defiance
,
you
will
be
slain
and
Avatea
will
be
lost
.
Three
days
are
worth
having
.
"
Jack
hesitated
a
moment
,
then
lowered
his
club
,
and
throwing
it
moodily
to
the
ground
,
crossed
his
arms
on
his
breast
and
hung
down
his
head
in
silence
.
Tararo
seemed
pleased
by
his
submission
,
and
told
the
teacher
to
say
that
he
did
not
forget
his
former
services
,
and
therefore
would
leave
him
free
as
to
his
person
,
but
that
the
schooner
would
be
detained
till
he
had
further
considered
the
matter
.
While
the
teacher
translated
this
,
he
approached
as
near
to
where
Avatea
was
standing
as
possible
without
creating
suspicion
,
and
whispered
to
her
a
few
words
in
the
native
language
.
Avatea
,
who
,
during
the
whole
of
the
foregoing
scene
,
had
stood
leaning
against
the
tree
perfectly
passive
,
and
seemingly
quite
uninterested
in
all
that
was
going
on
,
replied
by
a
single
rapid
glance
of
her
dark
eye
,
which
was
instantly
cast
down
again
on
the
ground
at
her
feet
.
Tararo
now
advanced
,
and
taking
the
girl
by
the
hand
,
led
her
unresistingly
away
;
while
Jack
,
Peterkin
,
and
I
returned
with
the
teacher
on
board
the
schooner
.
On
reaching
the
deck
we
went
down
to
the
cabin
,
where
Jack
threw
himself
,
in
a
state
of
great
dejection
,
on
a
couch
;
but
the
teacher
seated
himself
by
his
side
,
and
laying
his
hand
upon
his
shoulder
,
said
:
