The content of this book is presented as it was originally published and should be read with its original publication date in mind.

“Weary” was Ora’s best attempt to say “Will”. This was the name of a dissipated young European who had lately come to the island. Hurue knew that the fellow was not to be believed; but instead of saying so, he quietly asked, “If Weary says that Timmy is a liar, how do we know that Weary is not lying?” 

That reasoning was too deep for Ora. He was silent a few moments; then he remarked, “Weary says the islanders would be better off if the missionaries had never come here.” 

Hurue had heard such talk before, and he was ready with a reply: “If the missionaries had never come here, the islanders might offer Weary as a sacrifice to their heathen gods, as they used to offer any one they didn’t like. Besides, Ora, if the missionaries had never come, you and I might have been killed when we were babies, as so many were in the heathen times.”
