You youngster« will won
der what A KweC-Kwce
might be. So I’ll spin you
a yarn about th’ strangest
creature of th' sea.
My shipmate, Tops'l Bar
n e y ; Kangy, my kangaroo
pal, and 1 had gone ashore
to gather some fruit in th’
jungle.
We were restin’
in th' shad« of a palm-tree,
when all at once, Kangy
pricked up hla ears and
hopped away up th’ bench.
Barney and I were won
derin' what was up, when
from behind a little point
of land came Kangy charg
in’ back. From behind him
came a strange cry that
sounded like, kwee-kwee!
Right away Harney and I
knew somethin' was up.
Kungy was still racin’
along th' l»each, headed our
way. when a great spiny
head with big goggle-eyes
popped out of th' water and
squeaker), kwee-kwee' What
beat Barney and me was
when that goggle-eyed thing
!
waded ashore, right up to
Kangy, and th’ two of them
acted as friendly as two
kittens in a basket. That
tickled Barney. "By gravy,
I’m goln’ to th’ boat, git a
rope, and ketch that critter,
wot ever It Is," said Barney.
In two shakes of a tops’l
sheet he was back with th’
rope. We slipped through
th' jungle, sneaked up close
to th’ creature, and Barney
lassoed It th' first throw.
Wow! Right then things be
gan to happen. With a loud
ye-ye! th’ thing started for
th’ water, draggin* Barney
and nie with it. First thing
we knew we were under
water. Our lungs were al
most buratln’ for want of
air, when pop, th’ rope
broke, and into a dark, un
der-sea cave th’ thing went.
When Barney and I craw
led out onto th’ beach
Kangy was wigglin’ his
whiskers and grinnin’ over
th’ joke that kwee-kwee
thing had played on us.
