boat. which wc lost when We 90.
capped. nov fallen almost TO pieces.
Upon seeing this boat. Friday
stood musing a great while. At
last says he. we see such boat
like come to place at my nation"
But he brought me better to IN.
dtrstand him when he added with
some warmth. We save the white
mans from drown"
Then presently asked him II
there were any white mans. "a he
called them. in the boat yea. :"
he said: "fhe boat full OF white
mana" | asked him how many He
told upon his fingers seventeen. I
asked him then what became OF
them. He told me They live,
they dwell At my nation"
He assured me they had been
there about four years. This
brought to my mind the boat |
thought had seen several years
before from the hilltop. Evidently
ny eyes had not played me false.
II was after this some consider.

/. would you turn Wild again. eat
mons flesh again. and be savage

He looked full of concern. and
said, mo. no: Friday tell them to

He looked grave at that. and
then said. mo. they no kill me:

Then | asked him II he would 70
back to them. He smiled at that,
and told me he could not swim so
far. told him would make a
canoe for him. He told me he would

From this time I had n mind TO
venture over. and see II could
possibly join with these bearded
men. not doubling but, II could.

continent, and a good company to-
gether.
So, after some days. I told him

which lay on the other side of the
island.

at managing II. So ! said to him.
We'll. now. Friday. shall we 20 to
your nation?"
lie answered not one word. but
looked grave and sad. | asked. him
what was the matter with him.
He asked me again thus, why
you angry mad with Friday? What

! told him was not angry with
him at all
