Jack
now
made
signs
to
the
natives
to
follow
him
,
and
taking
up
his
axe
,
he
led
them
to
the
place
where
the
battle
had
been
fought
.
Here
we
found
the
prisoners
,
who
had
passed
the
night
on
the
beach
,
having
been
totally
forgotten
by
us
,
as
our
minds
had
been
full
of
our
guests
,
and
were
ultimately
overcome
by
sleep
.
They
did
not
seem
the
worse
for
their
exposure
,
however
,
as
we
judged
by
the
hearty
appetite
with
which
they
devoured
the
breakfast
that
was
soon
after
given
to
them
.
Jack
then
began
to
dig
a
hole
in
the
sand
,
and
after
working
a
few
seconds
,
he
pointed
to
it
and
to
the
dead
bodies
that
lay
exposed
on
the
beach
.
The
natives
immediately
perceived
what
he
wanted
,
and
running
for
their
paddles
,
dug
a
hole
in
the
course
of
half-an-hour
that
was
quite
large
enough
to
contain
all
the
bodies
of
the
slain
.
When
it
was
finished
,
they
tossed
their
dead
enemies
into
it
with
so
much
indifference
that
we
felt
assured
they
would
not
have
put
themselves
to
this
trouble
had
we
not
asked
them
to
do
so
.
The
body
of
the
yellow-haired
chief
was
the
last
thrown
in
.
This
wretched
man
would
have
recovered
from
the
blow
with
which
Jack
felled
him
,
and
indeed
he
did
endeavour
to
rise
during
the
melee
that
followed
his
fall
;
but
one
of
his
enemies
,
happening
to
notice
the
action
,
dealt
him
a
blow
with
his
club
that
killed
him
on
the
spot
.
While
they
were
about
to
throw
the
sand
over
this
chief
,
one
of
the
savages
stooped
over
him
,
and
with
a
knife
,
made
apparently
of
stone
,
cut
a
large
slice
of
flesh
from
his
thigh
.
We
knew
at
once
that
he
intended
to
make
use
of
this
for
food
,
and
could
not
repress
a
cry
of
horror
and
disgust
.
"
Come
,
come
,
you
blackguard
!
"
cried
Jack
,
starting
up
and
seizing
the
man
by
the
arm
,
"
pitch
that
into
the
hole
.
Do
you
hear
?
"
The
savage
,
of
course
,
did
not
understand
the
command
;
but
he
perfectly
understood
the
look
of
disgust
with
which
Jack
regarded
the
flesh
,
and
his
fierce
gaze
as
he
pointed
towards
the
hole
.
Nevertheless
,
he
did
not
obey
.
Jack
instantly
turned
to
Tararo
and
made
signs
to
him
to
enforce
obedience
.
The
chief
seemed
to
understand
the
appeal
;
for
he
stepped
forward
,
raised
his
club
,
and
was
on
the
point
of
dashing
out
the
brains
of
his
offending
subject
when
Jack
sprang
forward
and
caught
his
uplifted
arm
.
"
Stop
,
you
blockhead
!
"
he
shouted
.
"
I
do
n't
want
you
to
kill
the
man
!
"
He
then
pointed
again
to
the
flesh
and
to
the
hole
.
The
chief
uttered
a
few
words
,
which
had
the
desired
effect
;
for
the
man
threw
the
flesh
into
the
hole
,
which
was
immediately
filled
up
.
This
man
was
of
a
morose
,
sulky
disposition
,
and
during
all
the
time
he
remained
on
the
island
,
regarded
us
--
especially
Jack
--
with
a
scowling
visage
.
His
name
,
we
found
,
was
Mahine
.
The
next
three
or
four
days
were
spent
by
the
savages
in
mending
their
canoe
,
which
had
been
damaged
by
the
violent
shock
it
had
sustained
on
striking
the
shore
.
This
canoe
was
a
very
curious
structure
.
It
was
about
thirty
feet
long
,
and
had
a
high
,
towering
stern
.
The
timbers
of
which
it
was
partly
composed
were
fastened
much
in
the
same
way
as
those
of
our
little
boat
were
put
together
;
but
the
part
that
seemed
most
curious
to
us
was
a
sort
of
outrigger
,
or
long
plank
,
which
was
attached
to
the
body
of
the
canoe
by
means
of
two
stout
cross-beams
.
These
beams
kept
the
plank
parallel
with
the
canoe
,
but
not
in
contact
with
it
,
for
it
floated
in
the
water
with
an
open
space
between
--
thus
forming
a
sort
of
double
canoe
.
This
,
we
found
,
was
intended
to
prevent
the
upsetting
of
the
canoe
,
which
was
so
narrow
that
it
could
not
have
maintained
an
upright
position
without
the
outrigger
.
We
could
not
help
wondering
both
at
the
ingenuity
and
the
clumsiness
of
this
contrivance
.
When
the
canoe
was
ready
,
we
assisted
the
natives
to
carry
the
prisoners
into
it
,
and
helped
them
to
load
it
with
provisions
and
fruit
.
Peterkin
also
went
to
the
plum-tree
for
the
purpose
of
making
a
special
onslaught
upon
the
hogs
,
and
killed
no
less
than
six
of
them
.
These
we
baked
and
presented
to
our
friends
,
on
the
day
of
their
departure
.
On
that
day
Tararo
made
a
great
many
energetic
signs
to
us
,
which
,
after
much
consideration
,
we
came
to
understand
were
proposals
that
we
should
go
away
with
him
to
his
island
;
but
having
no
desire
to
do
so
,
we
shook
our
heads
very
decidedly
.
However
,
we
consoled
him
by
presenting
him
with
our
rusty
axe
,
which
we
thought
we
could
spare
,
having
the
excellent
one
which
had
been
so
providentially
washed
ashore
to
us
the
day
we
were
wrecked
.
We
also
gave
him
a
piece
of
wood
with
our
names
carved
on
it
,
and
a
piece
of
string
to
hang
it
round
his
neck
as
an
ornament
.
