and carried me back to the city on their

When the city was reached they carried
me through the streets. and 1t was good

door.
After dinner took hfty men and returned

away his tusks. gave the King one. but
kept the other to show TO my people when

When the tide rose, the waves took the
body out to sea for the sharks to devour.
and the Pygmies cheered as they saw II go.
That night. a. sat with the King In his
palace, he said to me-
Joe Jolly Boy. you are 40 brave that !
am going to tell you OF another enemy
we have, who makes US much trouble. On
an island about fifteen miles away are an
other lot OF people. They are no taller or
stouter than we are, but they are brave
fellows.
sThey have bows and arrows, while We
have only spears, and they manage their
canoes far better than we do. They arc
sea robbers
About once In three months they land
on our island, and no matter how hard We
fight they beat US and take away m UGH
plunder. Now that you have killed the
monster Of the sea. II we could only win q
great victory over these robbers we should
be happy people.

always come In the full Of the moon. Do
you think anything can be done3'
Il am sure Of 1t. think can give them
such a fght that they will never dare TO
land on this island again
The King and ! talked for q long time
and laid our plans. I did not want the
help Of his people to fight. wanted them
to be on the watch for the robbers and let
me know a. soon a. the fellows landed,
and then / would do the rest.
Next day I out q lot Of switches from
the trees and toughened them by holding
them over q fire. and had sentinels sta
