9150Dick, is it you?
9150Dick,said Mrs. Weldon, after looking round her,"where is Mr. Harris?
9150Do n''t I tell you, my dear fellow, that it was more than time for me to give them the slip?

9150Do you mean that he has gone on ahead?
9150Do you mean that there is no other course to be taken, Dick?

9150Have you never been on the coast of South America before?
9150He would not hesitate to come; but how could he know we are here?

9150How far were we from land when we lost the captain?
9150How long, then, do you reckon, Dick, we ought to be in arriving at the coast?
9150How now?
9150How? 9150 Hush,"he whispered,"did n''t you hear a rustling in that clump of papyrus?"
9150I was thinking of your father, my child,she answered;"would you not like to see him?"
9150I? 9150 I?"
9150Is he at the market at Bihé?
9150Is it not possible,asked Mrs Weldon,"that some poor creature may still survive on board, who can tell what has happened?"
9150Is it really very curious?
9150Is it venomous?
9150Is the camp deserted?
9150Is there nothing,said little Jack,"that I can learn to do?"
9150Is this of any use to you?
9150It is my business,replied Dick resolutely;"and I mean to have an answer; what brought you here?"
9150Kill you?
9150Know him? 9150 Negoro?
9150No interest?
9150North or South?
9150O, I shall not pull very hard,said Jack;"but have n''t we nearly come to Mr. Harris''s farm?"
9150Pardon me,she said presently;"but you do not seem to me to be a native of Peru?"
9150Shall I put him overboard, captain? 9150 So soon?"
9150Surely, you can not mean,cried Mrs Weldon,"that any one could be capable of such inhumanity?"
9150Then do you mean to say that it was mere accident that brought you to the coast of Africa?

9150Then what is to be done?

9150Then why should we not go south?
9150Was it not over hazardous,asked the captain,"to venture upon a voyage of between 5000 and 6000 miles in so small a sailing- vessel?"
9150Well, Benedict, how are you getting on?
9150Well, Captain Dick, how are you?
9150What about?
9150What ails the brute?

9150What you stole from the''Pilgrim''?
9150What''s the matter now, captain?
9150What''s the matter with them?
9150What? 9150 What?"
9150Where is the horse?
9150Where''s Howick?
9150Where''s the land?
9150Where? 9150 Where?"
9150Which shall you sell?
9150Who''s that? 9150 Who, then, can it be?"
9150Whom do you mean? 9150 Why did n''t you blow with your big mouth?"
9150Why do n''t you send and search the underwood? 9150 Why?
9150Will it please your majesty to take part in the business of the_ lakoni_?
9150Will the king take pombé or mead?
9150Write to him?
9150Yes, yes; is he coming here?
9150You are quite sure that it is safe to give it him?
9150You do n''t mean that we are going to cross the Andes?
9150You will see,answered Negoro significantly;"but first of all tell me something about our employer, old Alvez; how is he?"
9150After I had called her by name several times she stared at me, and at last said,"Ah, Mr. Dick, is it you?
9150Already one of his prisoners had eluded his vigilance, and was he now to see two more carried off before his eyes?
9150And Cousin Benedict?
9150And apparently glad to turn the subject, he said,"Now, madam, I am at your service; shall we start at once?"
9150And can not fleas go through a drill and fire a gun as well as the most accomplished artilleryman?
9150And is n''t this, too, the land of the golden- tipped calosomi?
9150And turning to the old negro, he continued,--"Tom did n''t you say that this dog did not always belong to the captain of the''Waldeck''?"
9150And why should we fear about finding a pilot?
9150Are not the structures of ants the very models for the architects of a city?
9150Are you ready, Howick?"
9150Benedict?"
9150But how was this return journey to be accomplished?
9150But scarcely had the little troop advanced fifty yards upon their way, when Tom suddenly cried out,--"Where''s Dingo?"
9150But were you caught by the English?"
9150But you did n''t come back in the same fashion?"
9150Catching sight of him, Dick roused himself in an instant, and said,--"You want to speak to me?"
9150Dick almost shrieked;"where is her child?"
9150Dick would perpetually ask himself: had he been sailing in a wrong direction?
9150Dick, tell me, what do you think about it?"
9150Dick?"
9150Did I not direct you to keep to your cabin?"
9150Did not the horses of Nicomedes, Scanderberg and Oppian die of grief for the loss of their masters?
9150Do you understand?"
9150Do you understand?"
9150Harris, who had been a silent spectator of the whole scene, now asked coolly,--"What makes that animal have such an inveterate dislike to you?"
9150Harris?"
9150Has Hercules nothing more to communicate?
9150Has the diving- bell of the aquatic argyroneta ever been surpassed by the invention of the most skilful student of mechanical art?
9150Have there not been instances of donkeys with wonderful memories?
9150He understood their meaning; of what avail was flight when the savages would be upon their track in a few minutes after?
9150He would of course endeavour by all means to get the schooner on by incessant tacking; but was there not the certainty of a most hazardous delay?
9150II-14-a Dr. Livingstone II-14-b With none to guide him except a few natives II-14-c"You are Dr. Livingstone, I presume?"
9150In a moment or two afterwards, he said,--"I suppose, sir, you acknowledge that Sir John Franklin was an eminent member of your profession?"
9150Is it a sea- weed that is making the water so strange a colour?
9150Is your speed really what you have supposed?"
9150Little Jack put in his word,--"And you will try and catch the whale without hurting him much?"
9150May I not declare it a lucky chance that has brought you here?"
9150May I not indulge the hope of seeing them at Kazonndé?
9150Might not that light canoe, floating bottom upwards, be made the means for yet another grasp at life?
9150Mrs. Weldon had hardly begun to express her thanks for the proposal when he said abruptly,--"Are these negroes your slaves?"
9150Mrs. Weldon interposed;"but are you not satisfied with the result of your explorations in New Zealand?"
9150Must not the chase be abandoned?
9150Nothing to be seen of Nan; was she, poor creature, one of those that the crocodiles had got?
9150She reflected for a considerable time, and then asked,--"And who is to undertake the task of exploring?"
9150Tired, but could not sleep; heard a rustling in the grass; felt sure that something was going to attack me; what could I do?
9150Turning round, he said abruptly,--"Did you meet a Portuguese last night, named Negoro?"
9150Was he dreaming?
9150Was it absolutely impossible that her liberation should be effected by some different means altogether?
9150Was it asleep?
9150Was it not likely that Harris or Negoro might be with him?
9150Was it not possible even now that by sacrificing his own life he could save the lives of those that were entrusted to him?
9150Was it not possible for the unfortunate men, bleeding and wounded as they were, still to save themselves by clinging to some floating spar?
9150Was it not possible that some natives, attracted by the wreck, would assault them in hopes of plunder?
9150Was it possible that the animal recognized the coast?
9150Was she not, after all, on friendly soil?
9150Was the beast going to escape again?
9150Was the fatiguing pursuit all to come over a second time?
9150Weldon?"
9150Weldon?"
9150What are you going to do with me and my friends?"
9150What could be done?
9150What could be the solution of the mystery?
9150What could they do against a hundred natives?
9150What had been the career, what could be the motives of a man who was capable of such vile machinations?
9150What has become of Hercules?
9150What have you been doing since?
9150What measures could he take to prevent the schooner being dashed to pieces against it?
9150What should he do in such a case?
9150What was he to imagine?
9150Where were the bright green macaws?
9150Will the little man let me kiss him too?"
9150Would not the prize have to be given up?
9150Yet, in what manner would the odious stratagem be accomplished?
9150You could hardly want to catalogue him with the diptera or hymenoptera?"
9150[ Illustration: Jack cried out in the greatest excitement that Dingo knew how to read]"Is nothing known about this traveller?"
9150[ Illustration:"I suppose Weldon will not mind coming to fetch you?"]
9150[ Illustration:"You are Dr. Livingstone, I presume?"]
9150all this time, where was he?
9150and of the prickly- legged goliaths of Guinea and Gabon?
9150and what had he been doing?
9150and worse than this, was there not a likelihood of the"Pilgrim"being once again driven far out to sea?
9150are we near Peru?"
9150asked Benedict;"did he ever really live?"
9150asked Dick eagerly;"what is the meaning of all this noise?"
9150assented another sailor;"parrots talk, and magpies talk; why should n''t a dog?
9150cried Benedict, at once warmed into enthusiasm;"why, are they not the very orthoptera that roused the imprecations of Virgil and Horace?
9150cried Mrs. Weldon incredulously;"what island can it be?"
9150cried Mrs. Weldon,"Ah, I have had a fancy lately that there has been something wrong: but why?
9150cried the negro,"then what can it be?"
9150exclaimed Dick;"are we anywhere near the desert of Atacama?"
9150from a boy of fifteen?"
9150had he failed to steer aright?
9150has Dick been telling you about Negoro?"
9150he cried out in sudden alarm;"what are you doing, sir?"
9150he cried:"have I endured storm and shipwreck only to be cast where not a hexapod is to be seen?
9150is she dead?"
9150might they not follow after and overtake Mrs. Weldon in the forest?
9150no shelter?"
9150no village?
9150no; why should I?"
9150or has any mishap befallen him?
9150repeated the captain thoughtfully;"are not those the letters that form the initials on his collar?"
9150roared Negoro;"do you suppose there is a single soul to care about you?
9150said Benedict contemptuously;"do you imagine they would be afraid of you?
9150said Dick to the old man, who continued in a lower voice,--"It is just as if Negoro had followed us; do you think it is likely?"
9150said Mrs. Weldon firmly;"you know you are making an idle threat; who do you suppose would purchase people of white blood?"
9150shall we make the venture?
9150she cried;"what do you mean?"
9150was he mad?
9150was he to lose the whole of the expected ransom?
9150what can be their motive?"
9150what do you mean?"
9150what do you think?
9150what great harm could Harris perpetrate against her or her belongings?
9150what had become of them?
9150what is it?"
9150what island?
9150what''s the matter?"
9150what?
9150what?"
9150where were the gaudy aras with their bare white cheeks and pointed tails, which seem never to light upon the ground?
9150where were they?
9150where''s Negoro?"
9150whither had this incessant hurricane driven them?
9150who is Negoro?"
9150who will concern himself with what befalls you?
9150who''s there?
9150why did not the expected coast appear?
9150why not?"
9150why?
9150you refuse?"
38296A book of adventure?
38296Ah?
38296All the way to the North Pole? 38296 And echo answers,` Where?''"
38296And has n''t it got much colder?
38296And is it inside the volcano,cries Rory,"you''d be taking us to warm us?
38296And so you tell me,said the younger,"that the work still goes bravely on?"
38296And so you''ve been in Spitzbergen, have you?
38296And the clergyman, captain, the clergyman, the poor girl''s father?
38296And the people enjoy it?
38296And what did he do?
38296And what kind of a monster is this Greenland shark?
38296And what says Rory?
38296And where do they go after that?
38296And where do you sleep at night, Jim?
38296And whither were you bound for when we overtook you, my poor girl?
38296And why not?
38296And yet how strange that a pirate should, cruise in these far northern seas?
38296And yet who else can it be?
38296And you have never written a word to him about our new ship and our purposed voyage?
38296And you''re wondering,said Nat,"where a piece of elongated mortality like myself stretches himself of a night on board the_ Highflier_?"
38296And,''deed, indeed,replied Rory,"there is little to choose betwixt the pair of you; so what can I do but be sorry for you both?"
38296Any more of them?
38296Are there many?
38296Are you better?
38296Are you done with my log?
38296Are your eyes shut?
38296Ay, ay, sir?
38296Ay,says Silas,"and a whole week without seeing a seal-- isn''t it astonishing?"
38296Back to Jan Mayen?
38296Bears, did you say? 38296 Boat gone, is it?"
38296But concave at the top?
38296But stay, my son, stay,continued this weird little man, holding up a warning finger;"those rushing winds--""Yes, Magnus?"
38296But suppose, Jim, we went far away-- as far as the North Pole?
38296But the frost is n''t likely to go for a week, is it now?
38296But the ship-- this pirate?
38296But there''s a deal o''palaver about it, do n''t you think so, sir?
38296But what is that in the middle of yonder ice- floe to the south and west?
38296But what is this?
38296But where in the name of wonder are we now?
38296But where is the foe, sir?
38296But where will ye get the ox? 38296 But wherever do you think he means cruising to at all, at all?"
38296But,said Rory,"did n''t you go a trifle too near that time, Mister de Vere?"
38296Can it be night so soon?
38296Can this be,said McBain,"the self- same pirate that attacked the_ Snowbird_?"
38296Can you build barrows?
38296Captain,said Ted, firmly,"we did n''t sign articles to fight, did we, mates?"
38296Captain,said one of the men, stepping forward,"will you let me speak to you?
38296Come on I come on?
38296Could we not,said Ralph,"all snowblind as we are, try to grope our way upwards?"
38296D''ye know,said Ralph, looking smilingly towards Seth,"it is quite like old times to see Seth once more in the midst of us?"
38296De minor ole gem''lam,replied the boy;"but do n''t dey fit, sah?
38296Dear me?
38296Did I make the ship?
38296Did n''t you hear me tapping on the pane for you?
38296Distress? 38296 Do n''t tell him?"
38296Do n''t you call that graphic?
38296Do n''t you long to join them?
38296Do you keep a djin?
38296Do you know the_ Stemmatopus cristatus_?
38296Do you know what I have done?
38296Do you know,said Rory,"I feel for all the world like being in an enchanted cave?
38296Do you mean to say you are going to catch sharks in earnest, you know?
38296Does it smell badly?
38296Down south here,said McBain--"if we can call it south-- the seals have their young on the ice, do n''t they?"
38296Fear?
38296Fenders? 38296 Fenders?"
38296Freezin''Powders, at your service, sah-- your under- steward and butler, sah?
38296From which you infer--?
38296Funny old stick,said Silas, joining in his merriment,"ai n''t I?"
38296Fust- rate,said Silas--"just fust- rate; but where is Ralph and the captain?"
38296Good night,asks Ray,"but how do you do it?"
38296Ha?
38296Ha?
38296Had I now?
38296Happy reunion, wo n''t it be?
38296Have you a surname, Jim?
38296Have you any money, Jim?
38296Have you wound your watch, Ray?
38296Heaven help us?
38296Hey? 38296 High- water about half- past two, is n''t it, Stevenson?"
38296How do they bore the holes, I wonder?
38296How is the glass now, Mr Stevenson?
38296How long d''ye think,said Captain Cobb, one morning, while at breakfast in the_ Arrandoon_--"how long d''ye think this state of affairs''ll last?
38296How mindful of the captain?
38296How now, Stevenson?
38296How soon,he asked the former,"can you get up steam?"
38296Hurrah for the foretop?
38296Hurrah?
38296I beg your pardon, Captain McBain,said Rory, at once; and with all becoming gravity he saluted, and continued,"Please, sir, may I go on shore?"
38296I daresay you fellows are glad to get home?
38296I declare,he said,"I feel just like a schoolboy home for a holiday?"
38296I mean, Jim, have you a second name?
38296I say, siree?
38296I shall remember this to my dying day?
38296I wonder how old Tweed is getting on?
38296I''m afraid so, sir,replies Mitchell;"but--"and here he eyes the bellowing canvas--"it do seem a pity, sir, do n''t it?"
38296I_ could_ get up steam in twenty minutes,he said;"those American hams, sir--""Oh, bother the hams?"
38296If what?
38296In bow?
38296Is dinner all laid?
38296Is n''t it funny? 38296 Is n''t that pretty, Ray?"
38296Is she snug?
38296Is supper ready?
38296It is fenders to throw overboard when the ice is too obtrusive, is n''t it, sir?
38296It is strange, is n''t it, sir?
38296It is strange,said McBain;"and from this what do you anticipate?"
38296It is the_ Scymnus borealis_, is n''t it?
38296Jim is what they call you, is n''t it?
38296Just like my luck, now, is n''t it?
38296Keep it up, keep it up, keep it up?
38296Make a kind of harbour, you mean?
38296Man-- Rory?
38296Matie,said Silas, pointing skywards,"do you see any difference in the colour yonder?"
38296More hands, Ap?
38296Mr Stevenson, when will the moon rise?
38296Much to be done?
38296No rum, gentlemen?
38296No, Row? 38296 Now the finale?"
38296Now, Magnus, old man,continued McBain,"d''ye mind the time, some years ago in the_ Snowbird_, when you rid us of that troublesome pirate?"
38296Och, botheration?
38296Odd, is n''t it?
38296Oh yes,said De Vere, laughing in turn;"very dark; as dark as--""Hush?"
38296Oh?
38296On deck there?
38296Reikjavik?
38296Remember, gunners,cried McBain,"we''ve got to take that ship, and not to sink her; so waste not a shot between wind and water?"
38296Return?
38296Risk, Stevenson?
38296Shall we risk taking the ice again?
38296So you will, so you will,said Magnus,"if--""What, another` if,''Magnus?"
38296So you''ve been a millionaire, Rory?
38296Spin you a yarn, d''ye say? 38296 Suppose we try to break it with a song?
38296Tell us,said Rory:"troth, it''s a treat to hear ye talking?"
38296That we will, sir, at all events,said the mate;"but see, sir, what is that yonder?"
38296The postman?
38296The top of the morning to you, friend Silas,said Rory;"how do you feel after your blow- out at Captain Cobb''s?"
38296The what?
38296The what?
38296They are slow in their movements, are n''t they?
38296Think of it, sir? 38296 Think of it?"
38296To- night?
38296Told ye it would, hey? 38296 Was it funny?"
38296Wash him, sah?
38296We are positively under steam again, Sandy?
38296We are-- under-- way?
38296We sailed around the island next day but saw no signs of him?
38296We wo n''t have much sport, though,said Rory, with a sigh,"if we have to remain here long, for the bears will follow the seals, wo n''t they?"
38296We''ll spend a bucket or two of paint over him, wo n''t we, boys?
38296Well, Freezing Powders,said McBain,"and pray what are you sighing about?"
38296Well, Jim,said McBain, laughing,"would you like to sail in a big ship with me, and-- and-- black my boots?"
38296Well, duckie?
38296Well, duckie?
38296Well,replied the skipper,"what have you to say?"
38296Well,said Silas,"you would n''t, imagine that a fellow with such an ugly chunk o''a figure- head as that had feelings, eh?
38296Well?
38296Well?
38296Well?
38296Were these the only times that I was cast away? 38296 What are you going to be doing after lunch?"
38296What are you grinning at now?
38296What cheer, Mr Ap Ewen?
38296What do they know? 38296 What do you think, sir?"
38296What do you think,said McBain, one morning just after breakfast--"what do you think, Rory, I''m going to make to- day?"
38296What does it look like, Mr Stevenson?
38296What does it mean?
38296What does this new` if''refer to?
38296What for I sigh?
38296What fun?
38296What have you done with the young lady?
38296What more malley- shooting?
38296What now, Rory? 38296 What prospects?"
38296What ship, my boy?
38296What''ll the old woman say, hey? 38296 What''s all the to- do about?
38296What''s the row? 38296 What''s the row?
38296What? 38296 What?"
38296What?
38296What?
38296What_ is_ the matter?
38296What_ would_ my owners say, boy? 38296 Whatever can it be?"
38296When can you start, my dear Silas?
38296When did I hear from Allan and Rory?
38296When did you hear from Allan and Rory?
38296Where are the sugar- plums, doctor?
38296Where away?
38296Which of you troglodytes is going with me to- morrow to see the sun rise?
38296Who in the name of all that is marvellous have we here?
38296Who''s coming?
38296Who?
38296Whustle, will ye?
38296Why the guard?
38296Why, it is music, it is life?
38296Why, my dear, who_ can_ it be from?
38296Will you go, Allan,he cried,"and bag a bear?
38296Wo ho, my beauty?
38296Wo n''t the green ginger fly?
38296Wordsworth''s_ We are seven_?
38296Yes, Row?
38296Yes,cried Rory;"where are the plums?
38296Yes,reiterated Rory, stopping in front of the doctor;"as you say, doctor,` Wha wouldna''be a sea- bird?''
38296Yonder is the stage, boys,cried Rory;"but where are the performers?"
38296You are a bold man,he said;"you will come with me to- day in de balloon?"
38296You are quite right, Sandy,said Rory in reply--"quite right; and do you know what it will be, Sandy?"
38296You have forgiven your men, have n''t you?
38296You have n''t been drinking, matie,said Silas, glancing gloomily upwards,"have you?"
38296You see, Captain Grig,McBain had observed,"we must have you as much with as now as we can, for we soon go different roads, do n''t we?"
38296You think, then, that that end is inevitable?
38296You''ll fight? 38296 You''ve seen the sea- lion, I suppose, Captain Grig?"
38296You''ve something to ask me, I think?
38296` Adventure''you mean, do n''t you?
38296` All alone, are you, Silas?'' 38296 ` Did ever you do anything clever in your life, Sandy?''
38296` What use would you be?'' 38296 ***** But where are now the festive board, The martial throng, and midnight song? 38296 ------------------------------------------------------------------------How far do you intend to bring her out?"
38296A fast train?
38296A flying train?
38296A likely thing I''d have them open, is n''t it?"
38296A sail in sight at last; and how many of us, think you, were alive to see it?
38296Ah, ladies, how are you?
38296All ready, eh?
38296Allan, boy, ca n''t you tell me?
38296Allan?
38296Am I right, mates?"
38296And every bush and shrub and flower is all a- quiver with a strange, indescribable motion, which greatly heightens their magical beauty; and why?
38296And every"hey?"
38296And if you were to ask me,"Was he, too, brave?"
38296And now,"he continued,"what think you of the prospect?
38296And round spun the bird, keeping time to the merry air, and every now and then giving a"whoop?"
38296And so, you say, in all your experience-- and it has been very vast, has n''t it, my friend?"
38296And why not?
38296And you saw the blood?"
38296Any tidings?"
38296Ask me rather what I_ augur_?
38296Bear- and- ham pie, engineer; how will that eat, eh?"
38296Breakfast all ready, is it, Peter?
38296But I say, Row, d''ye remember the proverb about Claudius?
38296But I say, Row--""Well, Ray?"
38296But I''m sent out here to make a voyage, and what can I do?
38296But is n''t it high enough you are now, aroon?
38296But is she a man- o''-war, I wonder?"
38296But see yonder, is that a seal on the ice that is creeping closer and closer up behind the bear?
38296But see, what aileth our hero, boy Rory?
38296But what is that strange, mournful cry that is heard among the hills far up above them?
38296But what is the something more that makes our men so happy?"
38296But where was the ship?
38296But why did n''t she wait for the train?
38296But why do n''t you speak more, Rory, as your messmates call you?"
38296But, I say,"he added, after a moment''s pause,"I do n''t suppose there will be any refreshment- stalls down there-- eh?"
38296But, doctor,"he continued,"what say you to some music?"
38296But, talking of brewin'', I wonder how the soup is getting on?"
38296But,"he added, turning to Allan and Rory,"you''ll look after the lad, wo n''t you?"
38296By the way, do the people still flock down on Friday afternoons to look over the ship?"
38296By` the minor ole gem''lam''I suppose you mean honest Magnus?
38296Captain Grig, may I trouble you again?"
38296Come, what shall we sing--`The wearing o''the green''?"
38296Could n''t they stop a month?
38296D''ye hear?
38296D''ye hear?"
38296D''ye play at all?
38296Did ever you see a sky more blue before, or cloudlets more fleecy and light?
38296Did n''t I?
38296Do n''t dey become dis chile?
38296Do n''t ye remember robbing my nest last year?
38296Do you fear?"
38296Do you know what, Ray?"
38296Do_ you_ seal on Sunday?
38296Does not Sir Walter Scott tell us that they laugh in their ranks as they go forward to battle-- that they--"Move to death with military glee?"
38296Down into the crater, to toast our toes at Vulcan''s own fireside?
38296Dreaming of what?
38296Eh?
38296Eh?
38296Extempore, did you ask?
38296Freezing Powders, you young rascal, drop on to your other end; do n''t you see you''re making Polly believe the world is upside down?
38296Funny, ai n''t it, sir?--queer, is n''t it, cap''n?"
38296Get down topgallant masts, it will be a bit of exercise for the men; let us have all the steam we can command, and--""Batten down, sir?"
38296Had not he dubbed himself Queen o''the May?
38296Has it not been said that the greatest pleasure on earth is felt on the sudden surcease of severe pain?
38296Has the reader ever been to sea?
38296Have they a secret, we wonder?
38296Have you any favourite instrument?"
38296Have you any more in store for us?
38296He wo n''t take his eyes off the book, nor move as much as one drowsy eyelid, but he manages to say,--"What are they about on deck, Rory?"
38296Heigho?"
38296Hey, boys?
38296Hey, matie?
38296Hey?
38296Hey?
38296Hey?"
38296How d''ye like it, eh?"
38296How do you like the prospect of living here for three months without ever catching a blink of the sun?"
38296How do you like the prospect?"
38296How is the glass, Rory?"
38296How is the weather?"
38296How know you there is wealth of ivory lying there?"
38296Hurrah?"
38296I can assure you, I would have liked, well enough, to run away, but with all the ship''s crew looking at me--?
38296I envy-- yes, I envy the dead in their quiet graves, and even wish it were all past-- all, all over?"
38296I lay on my face for five minutes, with no more breath in my old bellows than there is in a dead badger?"
38296I say, Ray, would n''t it be glorious to go surging over the ice- fields drawn by a hundred fleet- footed hounds?"
38296I say,"he added, after a pause,"you know my mate?"
38296I should answer,"Are not poets and Irishmen always brave?
38296I was right?"
38296I wonder will ever we return, or will the great sea swallow us up?
38296If not--""Well, Magnus, well?"
38296Is breakfast all ready, old man?"
38296Is everybody dead on board?"
38296Is it dreaming I am?
38296Is it my head or my heels that I''m standing on?
38296Is it not glorious, Silas?
38296Is it possible that our quiet surgeon has won the heart of this beautiful fair- haired Danish maiden?
38296Is it thunder?
38296Is not this true friendship?
38296Is the adjective"dead,"then, not unnecessary?
38296It has been nothing but flay, flay, flay, for the last two rounds of the sun, and there is n''t such a very long night now, is there?
38296It is n''t exactly a fair wind for you to bear up, is it?"
38296It is nice, though, is n''t it, to hear the old screw rattling round again?"
38296It was only a trifle over three miles; there were cabs to be had in abundance, but what young man would ride if he had time to walk?
38296It''s come to that, has it?
38296Lend us a hand with your fellows, will you?"
38296Look sharp?"
38296Meanwhile, how fared it with our boys?
38296Meanwhile, what might not happen?
38296Men, are we in danger?"
38296Mitchell,"he continued, as the second mate next entered hat in hand,"what''s in the wind now, man?"
38296Need I say, then, that he was an artist?
38296No idlers, d''ye hear?"
38296No wonder the cockatoo cried,--"De- ah me?"
38296Now then, Donald, bustle about, will you?
38296Now what do ye say to try to sleep?
38296Now wo n''t I have a blow- out just?"
38296Oh?"
38296Puffed?
38296Queer, ai n''t it?"
38296Return?
38296SANDIE MCFLAIL, M.D.--"WHA WOULDNA''BE A SEA- BIRD?"
38296Said the spider to the fly?"
38296Shall I hit him on the head, or shoot him in the chest?
38296Shall I land in de regions of desolation?"
38296Shall I make my descent here?
38296Shall I pull vat Monsieur Rory call de valve halyard?
38296She''ll have more of it; wo n''t she, matie mine?"
38296Silence did I say?
38296Since when did you learn to read with your book upside down?"
38296Size?
38296Splash?
38296Sure, they were worth a million of money?"
38296Tell me that, eh?"
38296The classification is handy, say you?
38296The mate laughed and commenced to sing--"` Wo n''t you walk into my parlour?''
38296The men among ye that know a seal- club from a toastin''-fork, or a lowrie- tow from a bell- rope, just elevate a hand, will ye?"
38296The old question, chief-- How soon can you get us under way?"
38296Then comes a hail from the crow''s- nest,--"Below there?"
38296Then these questions chased each other through my brain:"How near will I let the beggar come before I fire?
38296Then, after a pause, he added, more heartily,"But we''ll meet again, wo n''t we?"
38296There may not be another ship within hundreds of miles; the wind may be rising or the wind may be falling-- what do you care?
38296There?"
38296Those clouds ai n''t natural this time o''the year, and do n''t you see the spots in the sun?
38296Was a storm raging beneath them?
38296Was it not possible that they might meet with a similar fate?
38296We are not going to assist you in this; we are sportsmen, not butchers, Captain Grig?"
38296We''ll lie close together, you know, and it''s warm we''ll be in a jiffey?"
38296We''ll reach the Isle of Alba, sir, if--""If what, good Magnus?"
38296Well then, a fortnight?
38296Well, suppose your torpedoes were to be floated in under my ship, and went bursting off there?"
38296Well, well; but d''ye think you''ll find it?"
38296Wha wouldna''be a sea- bird?"
38296What about Seth?
38296What care I that my tenantry--`the foinest pisintry in the world''--haven''t paid up?
38296What cheer, Mr Ap Ewen?"
38296What could McBain say, what argument adduce, to prevent this rough old tar from risking his life in what he considered a matter of duty?
38296What could it mean, that low, deep, long- continued thunderpeal?
38296What else can a carcass or crang be but"dead"?
38296What evidence have I before me, do you ask?
38296What is in it-- sandwiches?"
38296What is that?"
38296What is the mystery?
38296What is to be done?"
38296What need you care?
38296What shall he be done to, Allan?"
38296What shall we do with him, Ralph?
38296What''s all the to- do about?"
38296What''s the row?
38296What''s the row?
38296What''s the row?"
38296What''s the row?"
38296Whatever made you think of this?
38296Whatever shall I do at all, at all?
38296When you wants a mouf- ful of hemp just hop down for it, else de blood all run to your poor head, den you die in a fit?"
38296Where are the games?
38296Where are the may- poles, with their circles of rosy- cheeked children dancing gleesomely around them?
38296Where are the revels?
38296Where do I get them?
38296Where was it that that blood was not?
38296Where, it may be asked, did the fuel come from?
38296Which of our heroes shall we start with first?
38296Who but Rory-- who but an artist- poet could have painted that?
38296Who knows but that after that you may get a fair wind to carry you right away south into summer weather in little over a week?"
38296Who would go with De Vere in this first great trip over the regions of perpetual snow?
38296Who would have thought that Peter of Arrandoon would have lived to play his own coronach?"
38296Why, what is that green- looking stuff in those glasses, doctor?"
38296Why, who dressed you, my little Freezin''Powders?"
38296Will she float?
38296Would you like to wash your hands?"
38296Ye thought I''d scupper him, did n''t you, soon''s the ship was taken?
38296Ye thought this child was your slave, did n''t ye?
38296Yes, fair France, go to Berlin if you choose, only first and foremost you have to overthrow-- what?
38296You don''t-- hullo?"
38296You not hear de wild winds roar, and de wave make too much bobbery?
38296You see this little bag?"
38296You wo n''t be afraid, will you, Freezing Powders?"
38296Young men, sir, dinna enter Aberdeen University stirks and come out cuddies?"
38296_ Can_ you guess, little wife?
38296` But,''says the aigle,` do n''t you see that it is sinking you are?''
38296and what about my little wife, eh?"
38296and, What shall I do if the rifle misses fire?"
38296can you?"
38296cried Sandy, the surgeon, looking curiously overboard,"what''s this noo?
38296cried Sandy;"what next, I wonder?"
38296cries Danny,` to that bit av a thing like a raping- hook?
38296cries the captain;"starboard?"
38296d''ye hear that?"
38296de- ah, what my ole mudder say den?"
38296from honest English Ralph; but Rory murmurs"Moore?"
38296ha?"
38296ha?"
38296he asked with a puzzled look,"and what_ can_ it be about?
38296he said, clutching his friend by the shoulder to keep himself from falling,"what if I had killed you?"
38296he said,"are ye takin''leave o''your wuts?
38296hey?"
38296hey?"
38296how can you make so vile a pun?
38296is it not all beautiful?
38296it''s you, is it, Row?
38296laughed Silas;"would you clap your balloon top of her, and lift her out like?"
38296more salmon and another egg?
38296said Freezing Powders;"is dat de''xpression you make use of, sah?
38296said McBain,"that''s it, is it?"
38296said Rory at dinner that day,"will you fellows never have done eating?
38296said Silas;"well, you do astonish_ me_; but you''ll taste my wife''s green ginger wine, and drink her health?"
38296said the surgeon,"liver a bit out of order, eh?"
38296so you''re fairly caught?"
38296the green paling, to be sure; how could I have forgotten that?
38296the little fellow was shrieking;"what for you kickee my shins so?
38296troth it''ll be fire- irons you''ll be making next, sir; but what do you want with fenders?"
38296troth?"
38296wah- o?"
38296well, surely one short week?
38296what can they teach a man?
38296what now, boy?"
38296what would he say?
38296what''ll I do?''
38296what''ll become av me at all at all?''
38296what_ would_ long Cobb say now?
38296where was their lordly_ Arrandoon_?
38296who will feed de cockatoo When I is dead and gone?''
38296you''ll fight?"
12051A camp, is it not?
12051A captain of fifteen years?
12051Am I very heavy?
12051An entomologist?
12051An old affair?
12051And I,said little Jack,"will I not be able to help my friend, Dick, a little?"
12051And Nan?
12051And at what distance is it from the American coast?
12051And business is lively?
12051And have you not added that the captain of the''Waldeck''had picked up this dog on the western coast of Africa?
12051And her child?
12051And how is that, my young friend?
12051And if we do not meet a pilot?
12051And lions?
12051And may I know, my young friend,he asked,"how you find yourself on this coast?"
12051And my friend Dick?
12051And my friend Hercules?
12051And now,said he,"what are you going to do with those people?"
12051And that perhaps,added Cousin Benedict,"some penetrating or irritating flea-- of a new species----""Do you understand, Dingo?"
12051And that ship, after the collision, did it not return to pick you up?
12051And that was all the secret?
12051And the horse?
12051And then this dog?
12051And this fly is not venomous?
12051And those_ guaras_, they bite?
12051And we have already left it behind?
12051And what has been the ship''s speed?
12051And what is the matter with you?
12051And what will you do with them?
12051And when do you propose to make this business operation?
12051And where are these_ sirafous_ commonly observed?
12051And which of us shall go to explore?
12051And who would buy a white woman?
12051And why did it detest you so much, comrade?
12051And why not, sir? 12051 And will you be able to put the ship in the right direction?"
12051And you do not fear going astray in these forests, which you cross for the first time?
12051And you took command of the ship?
12051And you travel alone?
12051And you would have worked alone?
12051And you, Mr. Benedict,asked Dick Sand,"what do you think of this project?"
12051Another?
12051Are there not pilots who do service along this coast?
12051Are they bad?
12051Are we not, then, in the region of the quinquinas?
12051Are we ready, boys?
12051Are we then on the borders of the desert of that name?
12051Are you not satisfied, then, with the conquests that you have made in New Zealand?
12051Are you very sure, Mr. Harris,asked Mrs. Weldon,"that this fruit can do no harm?"
12051At last,asked Dick Sand,"will you tell us, Mr. Benedict, what is this fly?"
12051Before or after having delivered your cargo?
12051But Mr. Harris''s farm?
12051But at last will you be able to take some rest?
12051But at that period what distance were we from the coast?
12051But have you at least explored the coasts of Colombia, those of Chili, or of Patagonia?
12051But is it not true that this Dingo, though it be of the New Zealand race, was picked up on the western coast of Africa?
12051But perhaps Mrs. Weldon has visited this part of the new continent?
12051But then the''Pilgrim''has not sailed, if we are still so far from the continent?
12051But what are they?
12051But what do you want? 12051 But what is it, then?"
12051But where could she be? 12051 But why?"
12051But will he get that idea?
12051But, Dick,returned Mrs. Weldon,"you well understand, do you not, that this catastrophe may, and indeed must, modify our first projects?
12051But, sir,said the novice,"is it not very astonishing that a dog should know the letters of the alphabet?"
12051But,observed Mrs. Weldon,"do you know if this French traveler was accompanied on his departure by a dog?
12051By a serpent?
12051By the English?
12051By the same road, Dick?
12051Can I help you?
12051Can you have any doubt about that?
12051Captain Sand,said the giant,"do you want me to throw this rascal overboard?
12051Could Dingo have followed Harris?
12051Could we not make a hole in the wall above the level of the water?
12051Could you not be deceived, Dick,returned Mrs. Weldon,"in estimating the''Pilgrim''s''speed?"
12051Dick,remarked Mrs. Weldon,"you are sure that this Harris has betrayed us?"
12051Dick,she asked, after a steady glance,"where is Harris?
12051Dick,she said to the young novice,"Do you see that singular color of the waters of the Pacific?
12051Did she then go down herself?
12051Dingo,he asked,"did you save our friend Dick?"
12051Dingo,said she,"Dingo, is that the way you encourage your friends?
12051Dingo?
12051Do those two letters, then, awake some remembrance?
12051Do you know this dog?
12051Do you see, Negoro? 12051 Do you understand, my dog?
12051Do you want me to go with you, sir?
12051Doctor Livingstone, I presume?
12051Either Negoro does not know this country,went on Dick Sand,"and then he would have every interest in not losing sight of us----""Or?"
12051For what motive?
12051From the South?
12051Handsome ones, very elastic?
12051Harris,said he, lowering his voice,"was there not a trembling in that papyrus bush?"
12051Harris? 12051 Has he never been here?"
12051Has he, then, gone ahead?
12051Has papa written to you?
12051Have not your eyes deceived you, my young friend, and are not those animals more likely to be ostriches?
12051Have they not brought her here?
12051Hercules,said Mrs. Weldon,"tell me, how did you save Dick Sand?"
12051How could he get as far as this?
12051How, then?
12051I shall ask Mr. Harris in what port he thinks we shall be able to find a ship to bring us back to San Francisco?
12051I? 12051 I?"
12051I?
12051If it is not Negoro, where can he be?
12051Is he at the Bihe market?
12051Is he dead?
12051Is it possible that such little beasts can feed such large ones?
12051Is it possible? 12051 Is it practicable?"
12051Is it, then, so difficult?
12051Is the cone, then, entirely under water?
12051Is there, then, on board some shipwrecked one who has survived?
12051It is, then, very precious?
12051Land?
12051Let go?
12051Like that?
12051Meanwhile, cousin,replied the intractable entomologist,"when I perceive an insect?"
12051Mr. Dick,asked Bat,"would you like me to go out of the ant- hill?
12051Mr. Harris,said he,"instead of traveling for one hundred and twenty miles in the Desert of Atacama, why not follow the coast?
12051Mr. Harris,said he,"when do we set out?"
12051Must we then clear the Andes range?
12051Negoro?
12051Never?
12051Now, Dick, can you tell where the''Pilgrim''is?
12051On what must we pull?
12051One does not escape from the gallows,replied Negoro;"but from prison--""You were able to make your escape?"
12051Or,replied Dick Sand,"he does know it, and then he----""But how should Negoro know this country?
12051Perhaps we may try to approach than-- those hissing antelopes?
12051Shall we not light a large fire for the night?
12051So,asked Captain Hull,"it has never been known to whom this dog had belonged, nor whence it came?"
12051That is so,replied Harris,"and meanwhile----""Meanwhile?"
12051That vessel which went ashore on the coast of Angola?
12051The camp is abandoned?
12051The desert of Atacama?
12051The horse? 12051 The money stolen from on board the''Pilgrim?''"
12051The name of this man?
12051The sea?
12051The ship which carried you was run into?
12051The ships which go from Chili to Peru, do they not pass, then, in sight of this coast?
12051Then it was chance that led this ship to the coast of Africa?
12051Then there are serpents?
12051Then was Samuel Vernon alone when he left the sea- coast of the Congo?
12051Then we will go to see him again?
12051Then what is that cape?
12051Then what is your idea, Dick?
12051Then who commands on board now?
12051Then you are going to write to him, mother?
12051Then you are not slaves?
12051Then you do not count on bringing the''Pilgrim''to San Francisco?
12051Then you have never been on the coast of South America?
12051Then, was the crew able to jump on board the ship which struck the''Waldeck''?
12051Tigers, then?
12051Very strange, indeed,murmured Mrs. Weldon; then, continuing,"what is Negoro doing?"
12051We should be very near the farm,replied Harris, hesitating,"and I do not recognize----""You are then astray?"
12051Well, Tom?
12051Well, at what point of the coast shall we arrive, my dear Dick?
12051Well, what is to be done?
12051Well?
12051What are you doing there?
12051What can be the matter with that dog?
12051What did you ask Dingo then?
12051What do I see there?
12051What do they wish to do with my companions and me?
12051What do you conclude from it?
12051What do you expect me to look for, if not insects?
12051What do you mean?
12051What does he want? 12051 What has happened to them?"
12051What have I seen there, a quarter of a mile off?
12051What is it then?
12051What is it, old Tom?
12051What is that?''
12051What is the matter with Dingo?
12051What is the matter, Dick?
12051What is the matter?
12051What is the matter?
12051What is this hexapode?
12051What must be done?
12051What must be done?
12051What then, has friend Dick promised?
12051What will I do with them?
12051What will become of you if your strength gives out? 12051 What will you do?"
12051What would you have?
12051What''s the good?
12051What''s the matter?
12051What, then?
12051Where are they, the large beasts?
12051Where are we? 12051 Where can he be?"
12051Where is it situated?
12051Where?
12051Where?
12051Which will you sell?
12051Which, then, comrade?
12051Who can be there?
12051Who is this Negoro?
12051Who is this man to whom you will pretend to sell me?
12051Why has he brought us to Kazounde?
12051Will we set out again?
12051Will you permit me to kiss him on his pretty cheeks?
12051With my friend Dick-- and Hercules-- and old Tom?
12051Without doubt,replied Dick Sand;"but where will this level stop?"
12051Would he really separate me from my child?
12051Yes; what is your advice?
12051You are English?
12051You are alone in Kazounde, mistress; alone, in the power of the''Pilgrim''s''old cook-- absolutely alone, do you understand?
12051You are in great grief, mother?
12051You have done all that depended on you, Dick?
12051You have heard?
12051You have seen the land?
12051You refuse?
12051You see nothing yet, Dick?
12051You see something, Jack?
12051You think yourself so strong that you would be dangerous to these courageous insects? 12051 You wish to speak to me?"
12051After all, the African savages have no pockets, and how could they have any?
12051Ah, why had he hesitated to do it?
12051Am I, then, changed to that extent?
12051And meanwhile, what interest could Harris have in deceiving them?
12051And now, why these odious actions?
12051And still, did he not ask his friend, Alvez, to renew his supply of brandy just exhausted by large libations?
12051And why not my glasses?
12051And you think, Dick, that he is in league with Negoro?"
12051And, meanwhile, could suspicion rest on any other?
12051And, meanwhile, what could they hope for the fugitive?
12051And, moreover, how explain that Negoro would venture alone into that unknown country?
12051And, now, how are these various business affairs regulated between buyers and sellers?
12051And, seeing that Dick Sand did not reply:"What, captain, do you no longer recognize your old cook?
12051Are we ready, Howik?"
12051Are you willing?"
12051As to Dick Sand''s feelings, what pen could do them justice?
12051At this place was the_ manticore_ going to clear the enclosure with a bound, and put a wall between its adorer and itself?
12051Benedict?"
12051Benedict?"
12051Benedict?"
12051Benedict?"
12051Benedict?"
12051Besides, what good would it do?
12051But Mrs. Weldon, this mother, and this young child-- what would the wretch do with them?
12051But are we here in some southern province of Peru, that is to say on the least inhabited part which borders upon the pampas?
12051But does he still live?
12051But had they become so by use?
12051But how, then, explain the break in the branches at such a height?
12051But might not the ant- hill be torn from the ground and overthrown by the inundation, to the extreme danger of those within it?
12051But on what part of the African continent had an inexplicable fatality landed him?
12051But refuge, where would they seek it in this low desert, without a tree, without a bush?
12051But the figures of these odious exportations, are they still considerable?
12051But then, how find Mrs. Weldon again?
12051But then, if Cousin Benedict had escaped voluntarily, why had he not let her into the secret of his escape?
12051But then, what had Alvez done with him?
12051But then, where would he search?
12051But was it not too much to ask from the most enthusiastic of entomologists?
12051But was that miracle to be hoped for?
12051But was there any probability that Dr. Livingstone would soon visit that part of the continent?
12051But what could Dick Sand and his companions do against a hundred Africans, who surrounded them on all sides?
12051But what could be Harris''s secret end?
12051But what could be done to ward off that contingency?
12051But what could she attempt?
12051But what did this miserable Portuguese intend?
12051But what happened after the crime?
12051But what matter, at present?
12051But what, then, was this miserable man?
12051But who was carrying the still sick child?
12051But who will tell him?"
12051But why be astonished at the sight of such myriads?
12051But, are there not other four- footed wanderers, that the sight of a fire would help to keep at a distance?"
12051But, had it been evacuated for some time, or had the voracious newroptera but just quitted it?
12051But, then, that land, had it disappeared?
12051But, then, was that sufficient?
12051But, then, what was Cousin Benedict?
12051But, to effect this return to the coast, should they take the road already passed over?
12051Could fishermen let such an occasion escape them?
12051Could not Queen Moini''s caprice prevent them?
12051Could the little party escape during its return to the coast?
12051Could they, without running the danger spoken of by Dick Sand, pierce that hole?
12051Could you yet explain to me, how, wishing to land on the American coast, you have ended by arriving in Angola, where you are?"
12051Cousin Benedict,"asked Mrs. Weldon,"do you keep well?"
12051Dick--?"
12051Did he not or would he not understand the question put to him?
12051Did he perceive that his auditors, propped up in their cells, had gradually fallen asleep during his entomological lecture?
12051Did he, then, know this country?
12051Did it flee before the"Pilgrim?"
12051Did she not think herself on hospitable ground?
12051Did the clouds cease to rise on the eastern horizon and veil the tropical sun?
12051Did the dog then know and recognize the master cook?
12051Did they vanish before the exorcisms of this new wizard?
12051Dingo, did Hercules save our captain?"
12051Distance for distance, would it not be better worth while to seek to reach the nearest town, either north or south?"
12051Do you wish to remain here one day or two?
12051Does it come from Hercules?
12051Does it not seem to you also-- which would confirm my idea-- that that spout contains more water than condensed vapor?
12051During all this time what had become of Cousin Benedict?
12051For what fate am I reserved?
12051Great God, where would we be without him?
12051Had Cousin Benedict devoted himself to the study of the vertebrates, mammals, birds, reptiles, and fishes?
12051Had he been a sailor and known so well how to hide the fact?
12051Had he had time to recognize what the roof covered, and was he going to alarm his comrades?
12051Had he incarcerated him in one of the barracks of the large square?
12051Had he received any instruction?
12051Had he refused to believe that his son and she had perished at sea?
12051Had he remarked Harris''s disappearance?
12051Had he some interest in putting the second compass out of service also?
12051Had he then lost his way, and on this dark night was he vainly seeking the way to the grotto?
12051Had the faithful animal perished in some fruitless attempt?
12051Harris?"
12051Harris?"
12051Has misfortune overtaken it or Hercules?
12051Has there not existed a parrot, worth a hundred gold crowns, that recited the Apostle''s Creed to the cardinal, his master, without missing a word?
12051He would have started for the African coast, and, once there, who can tell to what dangers, to what treachery, he would have been exposed?
12051How can so much electricity be collected in the clouds?
12051How can such quantities of vapor be accumulated?
12051How could they?"
12051How has it been able to find me again?
12051How has the faithful animal, that we believed dead, met either the one or the other?
12051How is it restored to me?
12051How many will have ceased to suffer before then?
12051How then has she arrived here?"
12051How, then, had he not yet made the coast?
12051How?
12051Hull, that he would hesitate to embark on the''Pilgrim,''in company with his wife and child?"
12051Hull?"
12051I cannot-- unless the indications of the compass have been false?
12051If Dingo had been able to penetrate the ranks of the caravan once, why did not Hercules let him try it a second time?
12051In bending over him in his rage, had Negoro slightly loosened the bands that till then had rendered all movement impossible?
12051In case the bad weather should oblige him to seek a port of refuge, what should he do, because that coast was to him absolutely unknown?
12051In fact, might it not have been Dingo?"
12051In order to live I had to follow all trades--""Even the trade of an honest man, Negoro?"
12051In seeing him thus, in observing these brave, devoted blacks, wife and mother, she could not yet despair; and, besides, why was she abandoned?
12051In this condition, how could it avoid the shock which threatened it?
12051Is he going to come?"
12051Is it a plan of escape that it brings me?
12051Is it due to the presence of a marine herb?"
12051Is it necessary to say now that Mrs. Weldon had found no help in her large child, Cousin Benedict?
12051Is it not a mere supposition on your part?"
12051Is she in the central group?
12051It is not impossible to find on board some specimen of----""Cousin Benedict,"said Mrs. Weldon,"do you then slander Captain Hull?
12051It is then by the Portuguese''s orders that he acts and treats me differently from my companions in misfortune?
12051May he not have put it out of order?"
12051May it not be that he has followed our steps?"
12051May we not call these beings"unfortunates,"who were treated only as domestic animals?
12051Must he wait or suddenly announce the probable result of the situation, after ascertaining the condition of things?
12051Must he, then, renounce all hope of finding them at Kazounde?
12051Must not Negoro desire, as they all desired, to land on the American coast as soon as possible?
12051My poor Dingo, can you escape them?
12051Negoro, doubtless, will prefer to remain here?"
12051No human succor could come to him except from outside, and whence could it come to him?
12051Now, would they not see it, and at their cries might not the whole village be alarmed?
12051Once arrived at that top, why would it not descend to the base?
12051One would think he scented in the distance----""Negoro, is it not so?"
12051Or does it only give me news of those dear to me?
12051Our poor ship is lost, and the tempest can no longer reach us?"
12051Should he bring me another word from Hercules?
12051Should they envy him his fate?
12051So, you have been taken?"
12051Strong as he was, what would become of him in that inhospitable country, where hunger, solitude, savage beasts, natives, all were against him?
12051Tack about?
12051That America, on which his vessel would go to pieces, perhaps, where was it, if it was not there?
12051Then what chance had the prisoners in the ant- hill to escape the most terrible of deaths, death by slow asphyxia?
12051Then, continuing:"Whence came the''Waldeck?''"
12051Then, did Negoro know this point of the continent where the winds were driving the"Pilgrim?"
12051Then, how should hunters of elephants and fishers of whalers feel?
12051These arrangements made, Dick Sand was going to set out, when Mrs. Weldon said to him:"You do not fear being carried away by the falls, Dick?"
12051This river which he was seeking, which he hoped to find, would it conduct them to the shore with more safety, and with less fatigue?
12051To what plank of safety will not an unfortunate being cling?
12051To what species of ant was due, then, the prodigious style of architecture of these cones?
12051Was Cousin Benedict wrong?
12051Was he capable of contriving this odious plot which had thrown the ship on the coast of Africa?
12051Was he not mistaken?
12051Was it a man?
12051Was it an animal?
12051Was it one of those"right"whales, which the fishermen of the Northern Ocean seek most particularly?
12051Was it possible to make that hole large enough for Dingo to put in its head?
12051Was it to the mollusks, from the cephalopodes to the bryozoans, that he had given his preference, and had malacology no more secrets for him?
12051Was it, as Dick Sand must suppose, on the shore of Peru?
12051Was it, then, Negoro''s interest for the magnetic needle to return to its true direction?
12051Was it, then, the true pampas of which Harris had spoken?
12051Was old Tom strong enough to support such misery?
12051Was she then going to take flight again, and must they take up this interminable pursuit again on the surface of the waters?
12051Was the return made under the same circumstances?"
12051Was, then, the cone abandoned?
12051We were asleep----""But the men of the''Waldeck''--what has become of them?"
12051Weldon?"
12051Weldon?"
12051Weldon?"
12051Weldon?"
12051Well, why should not a dog do as much if he took it into his head?
12051Were these, then, the"ais,"or some other tardi- graves, whose feet had thus marked the soil?
12051Were they talking of him and his companions, so treacherously joined to the persons in the convoy?
12051Were they then addressed to some sailors or passengers imprisoned in this ship?
12051Were they then shut up under their tents, so as to let the storm pass, or was the camp abandoned?
12051What could Dick Sand do that had not been already done at the first signal from the captain?
12051What could Dick Sand imagine if, in fact, neither Mrs. Weldon nor her enemies were there?
12051What could he expect from a man who had tried to make him take giraffes for ostriches?
12051What could that interest be?
12051What did Dick Sand know of this country where treason had thrown him?
12051What did the head cook intend to do there?
12051What does Harris and Negoro want to do with them?
12051What fatality then had brought that whale in the"Pilgrim''s"course?
12051What future, then, awaited the survivors of the"Pilgrim?"
12051What had happened since the beginning of this frightful tempest?
12051What had he done?
12051What has become of Hercules?
12051What have you done to that animal?"
12051What is he waiting for?"
12051What is the current coin?
12051What is this letter going to tell me?
12051What is your opinion on this subject, Dick?"
12051What matter?
12051What must we do?"
12051What passed within him?
12051What resolution was he going to take?
12051What shall we say of Dick Sand and of Hercules?
12051What should he do with a contrary wind?
12051What still greater fatality had urged the unfortunate Captain Hull, generally so wise, to risk everything in order to complete his cargo?
12051What to do?
12051What was still going on, as that coast, whether it should prove salvation or destruction, did not appear?
12051What was this Alvez, the real sovereign under the reign of an imbruted negro, whose vices he had developed and served?
12051What would become of Mrs. Weldon and her companions, if they did not find a shelter?
12051What would become of her?
12051What would have become of you, alone with that wicked man, in whom you can not have confidence?
12051What would his future be?
12051What would they do with them?
12051What?
12051What?"
12051When he should once make the land, how should he act, if he did not encounter some pilot, some one who knew the coast?
12051When one falls, why get up again?
12051Where can we be?"
12051Where was she?
12051Where were they leading them?
12051Where would they take them, if not to Kazounde?
12051Where?
12051Where?
12051Where?
12051Who could have given such orders, if not Harris or Negoro?
12051Who had merited his hatred?
12051Who has written it?
12051Who knows but he has his reasons for avoiding us forever?"
12051Who would believe that, instead of sacks of coffee or casks of sugar, they were talking of human beings to export like merchandise?
12051Who, then, except Negoro, had been able to visit the ship before them and to lay hands on Captain Hull''s and Mrs. Weldon''s reserve?
12051Why did he take that direction?
12051Why had they not been able to follow Hercules in his flight?
12051Why such care on the part of such a man as Negoro?
12051Will not the eyes of the condemned seek to seize any ray of hope, no matter how vague?
12051Will they abandon them?
12051Will you find that I trot too hard?"
12051Would he not fall on the road like old Nan?
12051Would he not soon regret his companion''s fate?
12051Would he succeed in saying those words?
12051Would her old servant ever see her again?
12051Would instinct be sufficient to explain such miracles of fidelity?
12051Would it come from Mrs. Weldon?
12051Would it dare force an entrance into the camp?
12051Would it last eight days or a month?
12051Would not Heaven come to their assistance?
12051Would not the situation be aggravated by it?
12051Would the hexapode ascend again beyond the line of the eyes, or would it descend below?
12051Would the_ manticore_ come to the ground again to rest, after having traced a few capricious circles around Cousin Benedict''s bald head?
12051Would they ever reach there, through the most unhealthy and the most dangerous countries of Central Africa?
12051Yes, Negoro was an evil being, but must they conclude from that that he was a criminal?
12051Yes, my child, what would have become of you?"
12051You are afraid of me, my good little man?"
12051You do not seem to be of Peruvian origin?"
12051You understand?"
12051You will come to my help, old Tom?"
12051You would be very glad to see him again?"
12051asked Mrs. Weldon, giving Dick Sand a look which was only understood by him;"and if it is not he, who, then, is it?"
12051but what?"
12051cried Mrs. Weldon,"did you, then, hope to be able to classify it in the order of the dipters or the hymenopters?"
12051is it not more likely to be some marine animal-- some mammifer of great size?"
12051my boy,"replied Captain Hull,"little grains of vermicelli, of flour, of fecula powder, do they not make very good porridge?
12051nobody to speak to?"
12051or has she perished during that frightful night?
12051ought I to praise God?
12051said Harris,"you do not want me to embrace you?
12051said Mrs. Weldon,"Dick Sand has told you that we have not seen Negoro again?"
12051said the American,"the Portuguese, the ship''s cook of whom you have already spoken to me?"
12051what can that be?"
12051what will become of him?"
12051what''s the matter?"
12051where was his poor friend, Dick Sand-- he who had brought him so high up in the"Pilgrim''s"masts?
12051while waiting, do you want a good fruit to take away your thirst?"
12051why not, my friends?"
12051you are not an entomologist, sir?"
12051you wish to have this whale, my boy?
