"
Drunk
!
"
962
"
Yes
,
sir
;
drunk
with
the
nutmegs
that
it
devoured
under
the
nutmeg-tree
,
under
which
I
found
it
.
See
,
friend
Ned
,
see
the
monstrous
effects
of
intemperance
!
"
963
"
By
Jove
!
"
exclaimed
the
Canadian
,
"
because
I
have
drunk
gin
for
two
months
,
you
must
needs
reproach
me
!

However
,
I
examined
the
curious
bird
.
Conseil
was
right
.
The
bird
,
drunk
with
the
juice
,
was
quite
powerless
.
It
could
not
fly
;
it
could
hardly
walk
.
965
This
bird
belonged
to
the
most
beautiful
of
the
eight
species
that
are
found
in
Papua
and
in
the
neighbouring
islands
.
It
was
the
"
large
emerald
bird
,
the
most
rare
kind
.
"
It
measured
three
feet
in
length
.
Its
head
was
comparatively
small
,
its
eyes
placed
near
the
opening
of
the
beak
,
and
also
small
.
But
the
shades
of
colour
were
beautiful
,
having
a
yellow
beak
,
brown
feet
and
claws
,
nut-coloured
wings
with
purple
tips
,
pale
yellow
at
the
back
of
the
neck
and
head
,
and
emerald
colour
at
the
throat
,
chestnut
on
the
breast
and
belly
.
Two
horned
,
downy
nets
rose
from
below
the
tail
,
that
prolonged
the
long
light
feathers
of
admirable
fineness
,
and
they
completed
the
whole
of
this
marvellous
bird
,
that
the
natives
have
poetically
named
the
"
bird
of
the
sun
.
"
966
But
if
my
wishes
were
satisfied
by
the
possession
of
the
bird
of
paradise
,
the
Canadian
's
were
not
yet
.
Happily
,
about
two
o’clock
,
Ned
Land
brought
down
a
magnificent
hog
;
from
the
brood
of
those
the
natives
call
"
bari-outang
.
"
The
animal
came
in
time
for
us
to
procure
real
quadruped
meat
,
and
he
was
well
received
.
Ned
Land
was
very
proud
of
his
shot
.
The
hog
,
hit
by
the
electric
ball
,
fell
stone
dead
.
The
Canadian
skinned
and
cleaned
it
properly
,
after
having
taken
half
a
dozen
cutlets
,
destined
to
furnish
us
with
a
grilled
repast
in
the
evening
.
Then
the
hunt
was
resumed
,
which
was
still
more
marked
by
Ned
and
Conseil
's
exploits
.
967
Indeed
,
the
two
friends
,
beating
the
bushes
,
roused
a
herd
of
kangaroos
that
fled
and
bounded
along
on
their
elastic
paws
.
But
these
animals
did
not
take
to
flight
so
rapidly
but
what
the
electric
capsule
could
stop
their
course
.

"
Ah
,
Professor
!
"
cried
Ned
Land
,
who
was
carried
away
by
the
delights
of
the
chase
,
"
what
excellent
game
,
and
stewed
,
too
!
What
a
supply
for
the
Nautilus
!
Two
!
three
!
five
down
!
And
to
think
that
we
shall
eat
that
flesh
,
and
that
the
idiots
on
board
shall
not
have
a
crumb
!
"
969
I
think
that
,
in
the
excess
of
his
joy
,
the
Canadian
,
if
he
had
not
talked
so
much
,
would
have
killed
them
all
.
But
he
contented
himself
with
a
single
dozen
of
these
interesting
marsupians
.
These
animals
were
small
.
They
were
a
species
of
those
"
kangaroo
rabbits
"
that
live
habitually
in
the
hollows
of
trees
,
and
whose
speed
is
extreme
;
but
they
are
moderately
fat
,
and
furnish
,
at
least
,
estimable
food
.
We
were
very
satisfied
with
the
results
of
the
hunt
.
Happy
Ned
proposed
to
return
to
this
enchanting
island
the
next
day
,
for
he
wished
to
depopulate
it
of
all
the
eatable
quadrupeds
.
But
he
had
reckoned
without
his
host
.
970
At
six
o’clock
in
the
evening
we
had
regained
the
shore
;
our
boat
was
moored
to
the
usual
place
.
The
Nautilus
,
like
a
long
rock
,
emerged
from
the
waves
two
miles
from
the
beach
.
Ned
Land
,
without
waiting
,
occupied
himself
about
the
important
dinner
business
.
He
understood
all
about
cooking
well
.
The
"
bari-outang
,
"
grilled
on
the
coals
,
soon
scented
the
air
with
a
delicious
odour
.
