w h ile R angy, Sin-
Knot unit I u tir* c ru is in '
w ith T o p s ’l H arney th a t we
went ashore nn th ’ N icobar
Isla n d s, in th ' Hay o f Hen
gal. And w h a t b e a u tifu l l i t ­
tle islan ds they were, w ith
th e ir ta ll ro co a n u t palm s,
deep, green ju n g le s and
snow w hite beaches.
W e ll s 'r, o u r advent urea
sta rte d before we net fo o t
on land
I waa p u llin ' th '
boat, close to shore, when
».oom. a big wave c u lle d
high over o u r beads, then
w ith a ro a r broke on board
th ' bout, n e a rly swept us
overboard, then ca rrie d us
hig h up o nto th ' beach. We
Were good and w et, b u t by
g ra v y I was m ig h ty th an k
fu l th a t it hud not hap pe n ­
ed o u t in deep w ater.
A f te r we'd made th ' boat
faat to a tree a t th* edge o f
th ' lagoon, we sta rte d in la n d
and soon came to a n ative
v illa g e tucked aw ay in a
grove o f p alm
T h ' k in g o f
th ' v illa g e gave u:. a g re a t'
welcome, W h ile we sat in
th* shade fe a s tin ' on banan­
as and oranges, he ordered
his dancers to show us w h a t
they could do. It was a p ic ­
nic to w atch those fe lle rs
hop around. A fte r th ey'd
»lushed, Rangy and Singoot
got busy and showed some
o f th e ir fancy steps. I was
m ig h ty proud o f 'em when
th* king slapped his fa t
sides, laughed, and said they
were b etter than his men.
L a te r, a fte r we’d said
good-bye to th ' kin g and his
people, we hud o u r big a d ­
venture, and a m ig h ty close
c a ll, too. We'd le ft th ’ ju n ­
gle, nod I was s te p ,d ll' down
o ff a log when a big croco­
d ile reared up in fr o n t o f
me, sent me s p ra w lin ' w ith
a flip o f his ta il and snapped
his ja w s w ith in an inch o f
my head. We got out o f
there in a b u r ry , fig u rin '
we'd hud enough adventures
fo r one day.
M y next y a rn w ill be
about Handsome Jack.
