Jacques
Paganel
,
during
his
three
days
'
captivity
among
the
Maories
,
had
been
tattooed
from
the
feet
to
the
shoulders
,
and
he
bore
on
his
chest
a
heraldic
kiwi
with
outspread
wings
,
which
was
biting
at
his
heart
.
This
was
the
only
adventure
of
his
grand
voyage
that
Paganel
could
never
get
over
,
and
he
always
bore
a
grudge
to
New
Zealand
on
account
of
it
.
It
was
for
this
reason
too
,
that
,
notwithstanding
solicitation
and
regrets
,
he
never
would
return
to
France
He
dreaded
lest
he
should
expose
the
whole
Geographical
Society
in
his
person
to
the
jests
of
caricaturists
and
low
newspapers
,
by
their
secretary
coming
back
tattooed
.

The
return
of
the
captain
to
Scotland
was
a
national
event
,
and
Harry
Grant
was
soon
the
most
popular
man
in
old
Caledonia
.
His
son
Robert
became
a
sailor
like
himself
and
Captain
Mangles
,
and
under
the
patronage
of
Lord
Glenarvan
they
resumed
the
project
of
founding
a
Scotch
colony
in
the
Southern
Seas
.
JOY
does
not
kill
,
for
both
father
and
children
recovered
before
they
had
reached
the
yacht
.
The
scene
which
followed
,
who
can
describe
?
Language
fails
.
The
whole
crew
wept
aloud
at
the
sight
of
these
three
clasped
together
in
a
close
,
silent
embrace
.
The
moment
Harry
Grant
came
on
deck
,
he
knelt
down
reverently
.
The
pious
Scotchman
's
first
act
on
touching
the
yacht
,
which
to
him
was
the
soil
of
his
native
land
,
was
to
return
thanks
to
the
God
of
his
deliverance
.
Then
,
turning
to
Lady
Helena
and
Lord
Glenarvan
,
and
his
companions
,
he
thanked
them
in
broken
words
,
for
his
heart
was
too
full
to
speak
.
During
the
short
passage
from
the
isle
to
the
yacht
,
his
children
had
given
him
a
brief
sketch
of
the
Duncan
'S
history
.
What
an
immense
debt
he
owed
to
this
noble
lady
and
her
friends
!
From
Lord
Glenarvan
,
down
to
the
lowest
sailor
on
board
,
how
all
had
struggled
and
suffered
for
him
!
Harry
Grant
expressed
his
gratitude
with
such
simplicity
and
nobleness
,
his
manly
face
suffused
with
pure
and
sweet
emotion
,
that
the
whole
crew
felt
amply
recompensed
for
the
trials
they
had
undergone
.
Even
the
impassable
Major
himself
felt
a
tear
steal
down
his
cheek
in
spite
of
all
his
self-command
;
while
the
good
,
simple
Paganel
cried
like
a
child
who
does
not
care
who
sees
his
tears
.

Harry
Grant
could
not
take
his
eyes
off
his
daughter
.
He
thought
her
beautiful
,
charming
;
and
he
not
only
said
so
to
himself
,
but
repeated
it
aloud
,
and
appealed
to
Lady
Helena
for
confirmation
of
his
opinion
,
as
if
to
convince
himself
that
he
was
not
blinded
by
his
paternal
affection
.
His
boy
,
too
,
came
in
for
admiration
.
"
How
he
has
grown
!
he
is
a
man
!
"
was
his
delighted
exclamation
.
And
he
covered
the
two
children
so
dear
to
him
with
the
kisses
he
had
been
heaping
up
for
them
during
his
two
years
of
absence
.
Robert
then
presented
all
his
friends
successively
,
and
found
means
always
to
vary
the
formula
of
introduction
,
though
he
had
to
say
the
same
thing
about
each
.
The
fact
was
,
each
and
all
had
been
perfect
in
the
children
's
eyes
.
