"Fella boy belong me you catch short time little bit.

This fella boy strong fella too much.

I give you fella one case tobacco--my word, one case tobacco.

Then, you good fella along me, I give you three fathom calico, one fella knife big fella too much." The tobacco and trade goods were brought from the storeroom by two house- boys and turned over to the chief of Balesuna village, who accepted the additional reward with a non-committal grunt and went away down the path to his canoes.

Under Sheldon's directions the house-boys handcuffed the prisoner, by hands and feet, around one of the pile supports of the house.
