•ANtYTHt? KING A few days after Kangy’s adventure with th’ sword fish we landed on th’ island of New Guinea. Tops’l Barney, an old shipmate of mirte, who owned th’ schoon er, said th’ natives on this island w e r e treacherous savages, but thnt they had plenty of pearls, taken from th’ pearl-oysters on th ’ bot toms of th ’ lagoons. Th’ pearls was th’ reason for this trip of Barney’s. He had brought along plen ty of cheap beads, bright colored calicoes, and all kinds of trinkets to trade for these pearls. It was a risky business, havin’ any thing to do with th’ natives. Early th* next morning Barney, Kangy and I land ed on th’ island. Th’ silence of th’ jungle gave me th* shivers, as though somethin* wus waitin’ there to grab us. We hadn’t gone far into th’ Jungle when all a t once I saw that Kangy was mlssln’. Barney and I couldn’t figure what nad become of him. Then, just an we were goin’ to turn back to look for him, about fifty fuzzy-headed, fierce- eyed navagen, armed with spears and clubs, leaped out of th’ jungle, and In no time at all we were tied up tlghtcr'n a topn‘1 in a gale. To their village o f grant huts they marched as, and soon we were facin’ their big, fat, ugly king. Bar ney was pretty fat, too, and that king grinned all over. Just an we’d given up all hope of livin’, there wan a loud yike, and out of th ’ Jungle leaped Kangy. You nhould have neen those scared savages run. To make a long story short, they thought Kangy was a god. We knew we were nafe then, and Barney got a bowl full of pearls for his trin kets. When we got back aboard th’ schooner Kangy was a hero.
