They
followed
Paganel
,
and
when
the
savages
saw
them
profaning
anew
the
tabooed
burial
place
,
they
renewed
their
fire
and
their
fearful
yells
,
the
one
as
loud
as
the
other
.
But
fortunately
the
balls
fell
short
of
our
friends
,
though
the
cries
reached
them
.
Lady
Helena
,
Mary
Grant
,
and
their
companions
were
quite
relieved
to
find
that
the
Maories
were
more
dominated
by
superstition
than
by
anger
,
and
they
entered
the
monument
.
It
was
a
palisade
made
of
red-painted
posts
.
Symbolic
figures
,
tattooed
on
the
wood
,
set
forth
the
rank
and
achievements
of
the
deceased
.
Strings
of
amulets
,
made
of
shells
or
cut
stones
,
hung
from
one
part
to
another
.
In
the
interior
,
the
ground
was
carpeted
with
green
leaves
,
and
in
the
middle
,
a
slight
mound
betokened
the
place
of
the
newly
made
grave
.
There
lay
the
chief
's
weapons
,
his
guns
loaded
and
capped
,
his
spear
,
his
splendid
ax
of
green
jade
,
with
a
supply
of
powder
and
ball
for
the
happy
hunting
grounds
.
"
Quite
an
arsenal
!
"
said
Paganel
,
"
of
which
we
shall
make
a
better
use
.
What
ideas
they
have
!
Fancy
carrying
arms
in
the
other
world
!
"
"
Well
!
"
said
the
Major
,
"
but
these
are
English
firearms
.
"
"
No
doubt
,
"
replied
Glenarvan
,
"
and
it
is
a
very
unwise
practice
to
give
firearms
to
savages
!
They
turn
them
against
the
invaders
,
naturally
enough
.
But
at
any
rate
,
they
will
be
very
valuable
to
us
.
"
"
Yes
,
"
said
Paganel
,
"
but
what
is
more
useful
still
is
the
food
and
water
provided
for
Kara-Tete
.
"
Things
had
been
handsomely
done
for
the
deceased
chief
;
the
amount
of
provisions
denoted
their
esteem
for
the
departed
.
There
was
food
enough
to
sustain
ten
persons
for
fifteen
days
,
or
the
dead
man
forever
.
The
vegetable
aliments
consisted
of
edible
ferns
,
sweet
potatoes
,
the
"
convolvulus
batatas
,
"
which
was
indigenous
,
and
the
potato
which
had
been
imported
long
before
by
the
Europeans
.
Large
jars
contained
pure
water
,
and
a
dozen
baskets
artistically
plaited
contained
tablets
of
an
unknown
green
gum
.
The
fugitives
were
therefore
provided
for
some
days
against
hunger
and
thirst
,
and
they
needed
no
persuasion
to
begin
their
attack
on
the
deceased
chief
's
stores
.
Glenarvan
brought
out
the
necessary
quantity
and
put
them
into
Olbinett
's
hands
.
The
steward
,
who
never
could
forget
his
routine
ideas
,
even
in
the
most
exceptional
circumstances
,
thought
the
meal
a
slender
one
.
He
did
not
know
how
to
prepare
the
roots
,
and
,
besides
,
had
no
fire
.
