The effect was wonderful.

The woman opened her eyes, felt the child, looked at it, and with a cry of joy clasped it in her arms, at the same time endeavouring to rise, for the purpose, apparently, of rushing into the woods.
"There, that's all right," said Jack, once more taking the chief by the hand.

"Now Ralph and Peterkin, make the women and these fellows follow me to the bower.

Well entertain them as hospitably as we can." In a few minutes the savages were all seated on the ground in front of the bower making a hearty meal off a cold roast pig, several ducks, and a variety of cold fish, together with an unlimited supply of cocoa-nuts, bread-fruits, yams, taro, and plums; with all of which they seemed to be quite familiar and perfectly satisfied.
Meanwhile, we three being thoroughly knocked up with our day's work, took a good draught of cocoa-nut lemonade, and throwing ourselves on our beds fell fast asleep.

The savages it seems followed our example, and in half- an-hour the whole camp was buried in repose.
How long we slept I cannot tell, but this I know, that when we lay down the sun was setting and when we awoke it was high in the heavens.
