Enemies are Changed into Friends—Our Travellers Penetrate1 into the Interior of the Land.
To possess the power of looking perfectly2 calm and unconcerned when you are in reality considerably3 agitated4 and rather anxious, is extremely useful in any circumstances, but especially so when one happens to be in the midst of grinning, gesticulating, naked savages5.
Our hero, Harold Seadrift possessed7 that power in an eminent8 degree, and his first-mate, Disco Lillihammer, was not a whit9 behind him. Although both had started abruptly10 to their legs at the first alarm, and drawn11 their respective revolvers, they no sooner found themselves surrounded by overwhelming numbers than they lowered their weapons, and, turning back to back, faced the intruders with calm countenances12.
“Sit down, men, every one of you except Antonio,” said Harold, in a quiet, but clear and decided13 voice.
His men, who, having left their guns in the canoe, were utterly14 helpless, quietly obeyed.
“Who are you, and what do you want?” demanded Antonio, by Harold’s order.
