Hi! want go there long time." "Why, you never heard of the place before," I said.
"No, never heard him fore; want to go long time.

"Hunt wallaby--kedge fis--kill black fellow--take care Mass Joe--find um fader.

Hi--wup--wup--wup!" "He would be very useful to us, Joe," said the doctor.
"And I should like to take him," I said eagerly.
"Iss, Jimmy go," cried the black, who contrived, in spite of his bad management of our language, to understand nearly everything that was said, and who was keenly watching us all in turn.
"He would be just the fellow to take," said the doctor.
"Hi--wup--wup! Jimmy juss a fellow to take." "Then he shall go," I said; and the black bounded nearly to the ceiling, making nurse utter a shriek, whereupon he thrust his boomerang into his waistband, and dragged a waddy from the back, where it had hung down like a stumpy tail, and showing his white teeth in a savage grin, he began to caper about as if preparing to attack the old lady, till I caught him by the arm, and he crouched at my feet like a dog.
"Come long," he said, pointing out at the sun, "walk five six hour--all black dark; go sleep a morning." "All in good time, Jimmy," I said.
