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.
