"
I
believe
so
,
indeed
,
"
retorted
Captain
Hull
,
gravely
,
"
as
he
has
never
existed
!
"
And
each
began
to
laugh
,
looking
at
Cousin
Benedict
.
Thus
,
then
,
in
these
conversations
,
and
many
others
,
which
invariably
bore
on
some
point
of
entomological
science
,
whenever
Cousin
Benedict
took
part
,
passed
away
long
hours
of
this
navigation
against
contrary
winds
.
The
sea
always
fine
,
but
winds
which
obliged
the
schooner
to
tack
often
.
The
"
Pilgrim
"
made
very
little
headway
toward
the
east
--
the
breeze
was
so
feeble
;
and
they
longed
to
reach
those
parts
where
the
prevailing
winds
would
be
more
favorable
.
It
must
be
stated
here
that
Cousin
Benedict
had
endeavored
to
initiate
the
young
novice
into
the
mysteries
of
entomology
.
But
Dick
Sand
had
shown
himself
rather
refractory
to
these
advances
.
For
want
of
better
company
the
savant
had
fallen
back
on
the
negroes
,
who
comprehended
nothing
about
it
.
Tom
,
Acteon
,
Bat
,
and
Austin
had
even
finished
by
deserting
the
class
,
and
the
professor
found
himself
reduced
to
Hercules
alone
,
who
seemed
to
him
to
have
some
natural
disposition
to
distinguish
a
parasite
from
a
thysanuran
.
So
the
gigantic
black
lived
in
the
world
of
coleopteras
,
carnivorous
insects
,
hunters
,
gunners
,
ditchers
,
cicindelles
,
carabes
,
sylphides
,
moles
,
cockchafers
,
horn-beetles
,
tenebrions
,
mites
,
lady-birds
,
studying
all
Cousin
Benedict
's
collection
,
not
but
the
latter
trembled
on
seeing
his
frail
specimens
in
Hercules
'
great
hands
,
which
were
hard
and
strong
as
a
vise
.
But
the
colossal
pupil
listened
so
quietly
to
the
professor
's
lessons
that
it
was
worth
risking
something
to
give
them
.
While
Cousin
Benedict
worked
in
that
manner
,
Mrs.
Weldon
did
not
leave
little
Jack
entirely
unoccupied
;
She
taught
him
to
read
and
to
write
.
As
to
arithmetic
,
it
was
his
friend
Dick
Sand
who
inculcated
the
first
elements
.
At
the
age
of
five
,
one
is
still
only
a
little
child
,
and
is
perhaps
better
instructed
by
practical
games
than
by
theoretical
lessons
necessarily
a
little
arduous
.
Jack
learned
to
read
,
not
in
a
primer
,
but
by
means
of
movable
letters
,
printed
in
red
on
cubes
of
wood
.
He
amused
himself
by
arranging
the
blocks
so
as
to
form
words
.
Sometimes
Mrs.
Weldon
took
these
cubes
and
composed
a
word
;
then
she
disarranged
them
,
and
it
was
for
Jack
to
replace
them
in
the
order
required
.
The
little
boy
liked
this
manner
of
learning
to
read
very
much
.
Each
day
he
passed
some
hours
,
sometimes
in
the
cabin
,
sometimes
on
the
deck
,
in
arranging
and
disarranging
the
letters
of
his
alphabet
.
Now
,
one
day
this
led
to
an
incident
so
extraordinary
,
so
unexpected
,
that
it
is
necessary
to
relate
with
some
detail
.
