his mother, the boy padded after tho
crocodile. The creature reached the
island and went out on land. He laid
woman $ body OF the ground. Then he
went back into the river aud swan
away. He was going after his mate.
The boy padded fast TO where his
mother WAS lying. He jumped out OF
the boat and ran to her. There was a
big wound in her breast; her owes we're
shut and he thought She was dead. He
could not lift her; he dragged her body
to the canoe. The crocodile might
come back at any moment aud kill him;
but he worked like a hero. Little by
little he got his mothers body into tho
canoe; then he pushed away from shore,
and started home.
suddenly we heard shouting on tho
river, ana saw the canoe, with the boy
padding as hard as he could. Every
two or three strokes he would look be-
hind him. The crocodile aud his mate
were after them.
IF tho crocodiles caught the canoe,
they would upset it with n blow, and
both the boy and his mother would be
lost.
Eight or nine OF us jumped into
canoes and started to the rescue. We
came up when one of the crocodiles
was not more than Hn arms length
away. We scared the beast OIL, and
brought the canoe to shore. When the
boy tried To walk he fell down, he was
SO frightened u tired.
1--WE thought that the woman was
dead, but in II little whihc she opened
her eyes and asked for the boy. We laid
him beside her; she stroked him n few
times with her hand; but she was nurt
too badly. She soon closed her eyes,
aud did not open them nor speak again,
Oh, how the boy cried, But he had
saved his mothers body from the croco-
dies"
AS Essnlaka told his story the tears
coursed down his checks. Instances of
strong affection are frequently seen
among the people of this tribe.
