follow him. he crouched low
and started for th' beach.
Kangy and th’ kwee-kwee
were gabblin’ away like two
old maids and never noticed
ua until we were between
them and th’ lagoon. Right
then things began to hap
pen. That kwee-kwee got
up on his hind legs, yipped
and headed for us.
Barney and I ran for th’
Jungle. Barney was out of
Suck. Before he could get
to a tree th’ kwee-kwee
caught up with him—and
that was how Barney lost
moat of th' hind-part of his
pants. But Barney tore
loose, ahinned up a palm-
tree, and when th’ kwee-
kwee tried to grab him
he kicked him on th nose.
Yippin’ like a pup with th'
tummyache, .he made for
th’ lagoon and dove into th’
water. As wc were puliin’
o ff to th’ ship he came up

water commenced to boil
and up popped th’ big horny
head of th’ Jiwee-kwee. In
another minute or two he
waddled out onto th' beach
where Kangy was waitin’
for him. It wan a Hight to
see how tickled those two
were to see each other.
"Heave ahead, Bill,'' says
Barney to me. ’'Thifi time
I'm goin’ t’ grab that crit
ter." Motionin’ for me to
