The Ebb-Tide

CHAPTER 3
14/30

However, there HE was, dead; and here are the Kanakas as good as lost.
They bummed around at sea like the babes in the wood; and tumbled end-on upon Tahiti.

The consul here took charge.

He offered the berth to Williams; Williams had never had the smallpox and backed down.

That was when I came in for the letter paper; I thought there was something up when the consul asked me to look in again; but I never let on to you fellows, so's you'd not be disappointed.

Consul tried M'Neil; scared of smallpox.
