But we have no medicine"
Have no Say, Miss Jenny, you
really ought to have stayed home from
boarding school and England long
enough to learn your own language. I
meant we've got to take what's COM

grouching. Both are the worst things

his weapons, and swung briskly away
down the cleft.
He returned a few minutes before

water, turned over and fell asleep
again while Blake was dressing his
wounds. None of these was serious OF
itself; but Blake knew the danger OF
infection in the tropics, and carefully
washed out the gashes before applying
the tallow salve which Miss Leslie

The dressing was completed by
torchlight. Blake then rolled the
