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.
