Do
not
give
way
to
anger
,
my
young
friend
.
God
has
given
us
three
days
,
and
we
must
use
the
means
that
are
in
our
power
to
free
this
poor
girl
from
slavery
.
We
must
not
sit
in
idle
disappointment
;
we
must
act
--
"
"
Act
!
"
cried
Jack
,
raising
himself
and
tossing
back
his
hair
wildly
.
"
It
is
mockery
to
talk
of
acting
when
one
is
bound
hand
and
foot
.
How
can
I
act
?
I
can
not
fight
a
whole
nation
of
savages
single-handed
.
Yes
,
"
he
said
with
a
bitter
smile
,
"
I
can
fight
them
;
but
I
can
not
conquer
them
,
or
save
Avatea
.
"
"
Patience
,
my
friend
:
your
spirit
is
not
a
good
one
just
now
.
You
can
not
expect
that
blessing
which
alone
can
ensure
success
unless
you
are
more
submissive
.
I
will
tell
you
my
plans
if
you
will
listen
.
"
"
Listen
!
"
cried
Jack
eagerly
.
"
Of
course
I
will
,
my
good
fellow
!
I
did
not
know
you
had
any
plans
.
Out
with
them
!
I
only
hope
you
will
show
me
how
I
can
get
the
girl
on
board
of
this
schooner
,
and
I
'd
up
anchor
and
away
in
no
time
.
But
proceed
with
your
plans
.
"
The
teacher
smiled
sadly
.
"
Ah
,
my
friend
,
if
one
fathom
of
your
anchor-chain
were
to
rattle
as
you
drew
it
in
,
a
thousand
warriors
would
be
standing
on
your
deck
!
No
,
no
;
that
could
not
be
done
.
Even
now
your
ship
would
be
taken
from
you
were
it
not
that
Tararo
has
some
feeling
of
gratitude
towards
you
.
But
I
know
Tararo
well
.
He
is
a
man
of
falsehood
,
as
all
the
unconverted
savages
are
.
The
chief
to
whom
he
has
promised
this
girl
is
very
powerful
,
and
Tararo
must
fulfil
his
promise
.
He
has
told
you
that
he
would
do
nothing
to
the
girl
for
three
days
,
but
that
is
because
the
party
who
are
to
take
her
away
will
not
be
ready
to
start
for
three
days
.
Still
,
as
he
might
have
made
you
a
prisoner
during
those
three
days
,
I
say
that
God
has
given
them
to
us
.
"
"
Well
,
but
what
do
you
propose
to
do
?
"
said
Jack
impatiently
.
"
My
plan
involves
much
danger
;
but
I
see
no
other
,
and
I
think
you
have
courage
to
brave
it
.
It
is
this
.
There
is
an
island
about
fifty
miles
to
the
south
of
this
,
the
natives
of
which
are
Christians
,
and
have
been
so
for
two
years
or
more
,
and
the
principal
chief
is
Avatea
's
lover
.
Once
there
,
Avatea
would
be
safe
.
Now
,
I
suggest
that
you
should
abandon
your
schooner
.
Do
you
think
that
you
can
make
so
great
a
sacrifice
?
"
"
Friend
,
"
replied
Jack
,
"
when
I
make
up
my
mind
to
go
through
with
a
thing
of
importance
,
I
can
make
any
sacrifice
.
