Ta graspi vilaja-destrukter pa kolar, lifti ta bay un handa gao uupar e sheiki ta kwasi vakue sak. Poy, afte un hao nuka-darba, ta lasi ta go librem.

Seguii en-lopi wek pa fule kwaytaa. Bat baken zuy blise bush ta stopi, pren un lanza fon arda e lansi it in Raterford. Lanza-nok fa-nagi inu molika de lefte gamba de Raterford. Raterford graspi suy pistola, bat Seguii yo desapari inter baum.

Drima de Jeims Mor

- Armee de Seguii bu existi pyu, - Jeims Mor zai shwo. – It es partem kili-ney, partem difusi-ney, partem it es pro nu. Haishi resti kelke banda kel fa-ahfi in shulin koylok bli Esta-kabu, bat nu ve extirpi li sin mushkila pa kelke wik. Nuy armee bikam pyu gran e pyu forte kada dey, bikos gulam de Seguii pa menga fugi a nu. Maiste banduk ke Seguii bringi-te fon Ingland, li es yo she nu.

Raterford e Jeims Mor zai go along sahil de toy riva wo batala eventi-te. Bat hir riva es mucho pyu chaure, e shum de mar-bata* yo fa-audi fon dalem. Pyu kem dwa wik he pasi yo afte jita-ney batala, e wunda on gamba de Raterford he haili. Ta sol topali idyen.

- Seguii selfa toshi bu ve eskapi fon nu, - Jeims Mor kontinu. – Me es serte ke ga sun ta-ney prope gwerjen ve gadari ta. Li bu gro-lubi ta.

Eshu zai go bli Raterford. Baken li Otako zai marshi, ta dukti un gran dasta de gwerjen. Bat Jeims Mor shwo pa inglish, e nulwan exepte Raterford samaji ta.

- Pa fin single mahta ve bi in Nyu-Siland! – Jeims Mor exklami. – Oli sobreshefa de oli tribu ve subordini a Otako. Li opini swa kom suy alianser, bat pa fakta li oli es sub suy mahta. Pyu-nem, sub may hi mahta, bikos Otako zwo nixa sin may konsila. Dumi ba, ob eni Emaii ve mog resisti a me e Otako, si pyu kem haf de suy tribu es kili-ney e oli suy stakatot jal-ney?

Raterford selfa dumi om Emaii. Emaii, iven sin weiti fin-ney krushisa de Seguii-ney armee, ta hasti-te a peplalok de janmavilaja, dabe ribildi it zuy kway posible. Kwo kuraje Emaii ve zwo wen ta ve samaji ke suy tribu, yus librisi-ney fon un gulamtaa, tuy he geti inu otre? Raterford klarem imajini longe seria de ruini-she gwer kel mus kontinu in sey nofortune landa. Bat ta abyas-nem silensi, bu shwo suy opina. E Jeims Mor zai shwo for, al animifi oltaim pyu.

- Afte unifa Nyu-Siland ve bikam zuy mahtaful imperia de Sude haf-sfera. Pa beginsa, sertem, imperator ve bi Otako. Bat Otako es lao, e ta bu hev son. Me es gamijen de suy pyu yash-ney docha, sol me hi mog heredi mahta fon ta. Dan yu ve sta hao, Raterford. Me ya en-lubi-te yu duran laste yares. Yu ve bi may dashi. Yu yao ku? Representer de Nyu-Siland she Landan* korta! Yu pri se ku? Un inglish texer kel gwo gun dwashi ora per dey sin pausa pur kelke peni* – ewalaa ta hi es mahtaful imperator. Un inglish marjen – ta es dashi, eminente ofisiala kel-ney favor gei shuki bay korta-dama e shik-ney kavalier*. Nu ve ridi gro om li! Bat non, non, me ve komandi ke yu deklari gwer kontra Ingland. Me yao venji a oli sey riche sinior. Li ve pai venja por sendi povre jen a katorga.

- Bat on kwel ship me raki a inglish korta? – Raterford kwesti al smaili. – On piroga ku, kati-ney aus pina-tronka?

- Nu ve hev hi ship, - Jeims Mor jawabi, - tanto mucho ship ke nu yao. Depos sey dey nu ve kapti kada ship kel visiti Nyu-Siland. Emaii kapti-te yur "Agnesa" e jal-te it. Es stupide. Kada ship ke nu ve kapti, nu ve kuydi it gro-hao. Afte shi yar nu ve hev tote flot. Mogbi yu yao ke me mah yu admiral*, bu dashi? Yu es marjen, yu ve bi gro-hao admiral...

Pinas fini, e un chaure mar-baya apari bifoo go-sha. Raterford stopi, turdi-ney.

Ta rekoni sey loko. Hir hi, in sey hi baya gwerjen de Emaii raubi-te brig "Agnesa" sirke pet yar bak. Also sey riva, along kel li go-te, it es Temsa.

Ya, ya, ta bu galti, ta remembi olo klarem. Ahir hi, a muh de sey riva, kapitan Koffain sendi-te ta fo nosolte akwa. Walaa chyenlok kontra kel "Agnesa" imbati-te afte ke gwerjen de Emaii kati-te anka-korda. Walaa toy sahil a kel pirogas kun ligi-ney plenjen landi-te.

Bat... kwo es se?! Shayad es sol sembla. Mogbi ta fa-pagale? Raterford froti okos. Miden baya, yus pa toy plasa wo "Agnesa" koytaim bin, ye klarem vidi-ney tri-mastula-ney komersa-ney brig. Marjen hasti-muvi on suy dek, al mah-lwo anka.

- Se es un-ney ship de yur futur-ney admiral-ney eskadra*, Raterford, - Mor shwo al extendi handa. – Manya nu ve raki adar bahani-yen ke nu vendi swina, e afte kelke minuta it ve bi nu-ney.

"Adyoo! Adyoo!"

Armee de Otako zai nochi on sima de kolina budalem fon mar. Es toy hi kolina wo koytaim vilaja bin, toy vilaja wo Raterford pasi-te un-ney nocha de plen. Hir sit marjen de "Agnesa" bin kili-ney e chi-ney. Nau nixa resti fon vilaja, bikos Seguii jal-te it fulem e kili-te oli vilajer. Bat Raterford tuy rekoni toy kelke pina a kel ta e suy ko-jen bin ligi-ney pet yar bak.

Gwerjen es fatige por mushkile marsha, e afte fa-tume li en-somni bli agnis. Raterford zai lagi on bey e kan an swate staraful skay. Duma bu lasi ta somni. Taim pasi, stara-figura lentem muvi inter chaure pina-brancha, bat ta haishi bu klosi okos. Al turni kapa ouran, ta merki ke Eshu kel lagi budalem bli agni, ela toshi bu somni e zai kan ta atentem.

- Eshu, - ta hamsi, - way yu bu somni?

- E way yu hi bu somni, Hwan-har-ney? – ela kwesti.

- Me bu jan, - ta jawabi.

- Me hi jan, - Eshu hamsi. – Yu zai dumi om ship de blan jen, kel es dar miden baya.

Raterford ek-tremi e presi un finga kontra muh, dabe ela en-silensi. Poy ta en-stan, pren elay handa e en-dukti ela wek fon kampa, al chaukem stepi tra somni-she gwerjen. Wahti-sha bu stopi li, bikos Raterford es shefa e mog go a wo ta yao. Raterford e Eshu lentem desendi kolina, poy go along tange shulin daokin al silensi. Sun onda-pleska fa-audi avanen, e li lai a sahil de mar, ahfen bay nocha-ney tumitaa. Obskure lumas de brig glimi dalem.

- Yu jan, Eshu, - Raterford shwo pa fin, - si me bu returni a janmalanda nau hi, shayad me bu ve returni neva. Tal kasu bu fa-ofri oftem.

Eshu silensi al lasi lwo kapa.

- Sol yu hi reteni me hir, - Raterford kontinu. – Me fai gro-amigitaa kun yu, fo me es mushkile tu kwiti yu. Go ba kun me. Yu swimi hao, nu tuhun ve swimi til ship sin mushkila. Me ve shwo a kapitan to li-ney shefa ke yu es may molya. Ta ve pren nu ambi kunem a Ingland, e nu bu ve separi neva.

Eshu en-sidi on ston e longem zai kan inu tumitaa, adar wo brig-ney lumas glimi. Ela zai dumi. Raterford zai stan bli ela e weiti sabrem. Pa fin ela shwo:

- Non, Hwan-har-ney, non. Go ba sole. Me bu yao reteni yu. Bat me ve resti hir, miden may jenmin. Yu jivi inter nu e sinian om yur rishta, om yur amiga. Si me ve jivi she yu, me toshi ve sinian om may rishta e amiga, om olo ke me koni fon kinda-yash. E ob yu dumi-te komo jen de yur jenmin ve resivi me? Li ve bichi me por ke me bu es kom ley gina, por ke me bu janmog ni shwo, ni chi, ni gun tak kom ley gina.

Raterford turan remembi ke in Ingland oni oftem trati kun bicha den "kolor-ney wan", den jen do bublan derma. Povre syao savajina! Ela es prave. Si ela geti a Ingland, es posible ke oni ve trati ela kom animal, animal kel mus zwo zuy mushkile e gande gunsa por foba de bating. Non, es pyu hao ke
