Spare
him
,
Pencroft
.
"
"
Pardon
this
rascal
?
"
"
Yes
!
it
was
he
who
threw
us
the
ladder
!
"
And
the
engineer
said
this
in
such
a
peculiar
voice
that
it
was
difficult
to
know
whether
he
spoke
seriously
or
not
.
Nevertheless
,
they
threw
themselves
on
the
orang
,
who
defended
himself
gallantly
,
but
was
soon
overpowered
and
bound
.
"
There
!
"
said
Pencroft
.
"
And
what
shall
we
make
of
him
,
now
we
've
got
him
?
"
"
A
servant
!
"
replied
Herbert
.
The
lad
was
not
joking
in
saying
this
,
for
he
knew
how
this
intelligent
race
could
be
turned
to
account
.
The
settlers
then
approached
the
ape
and
gazed
at
it
attentively
.
He
belonged
to
the
family
of
anthropoid
apes
,
of
which
the
facial
angle
is
not
much
inferior
to
that
of
the
Australians
and
Hottentots
.
It
was
an
orangoutang
,
and
as
such
,
had
neither
the
ferocity
of
the
gorilla
,
nor
the
stupidity
of
the
baboon
.
It
is
to
this
family
of
the
anthropoid
apes
that
so
many
characteristics
belong
which
prove
them
to
be
possessed
of
an
almost
human
intelligence
.
Employed
in
houses
,
they
can
wait
at
table
,
sweep
rooms
,
brush
clothes
,
clean
boots
,
handle
a
knife
,
fork
,
and
spoon
properly
,
and
even
drink
wine
...
doing
everything
as
well
as
the
best
servant
that
ever
walked
upon
two
legs
.
Buffon
possessed
one
of
these
apes
,
who
served
him
for
a
long
time
as
a
faithful
and
zealous
servant
.
The
one
which
had
been
seized
in
the
hall
of
Granite
House
was
a
great
fellow
,
six
feet
high
,
with
an
admirably
poportioned
frame
,
a
broad
chest
,
head
of
a
moderate
size
,
the
facial
angle
reaching
sixty-five
degrees
,
round
skull
,
projecting
nose
,
skin
covered
with
soft
glossy
hair
,
in
short
,
a
fine
specimen
of
the
anthropoids
.
His
eyes
,
rather
smaller
than
human
eyes
,
sparkled
with
intelligence
;
his
white
teeth
glittered
under
his
mustache
,
and
he
wore
a
little
curly
brown
beard
.
