CHAPTER VIII
Then he took them to the great ship,整版🔎 which was sailing calmly onward toward the rocks and destruction. And there,河岸🏊 going forward to where the helmsman held the spokes of the wheel and watched the compass swinging before him in the light of a little,整版🏪 dim lamp,河岸🏄 the gulls started dashing themselves into the wheelman's face and covering the glass of the compass,漫画💈 so he could not steer the ship.
"'I am the oldest rat in the town and I know a great deal. But,河岸🀄 tell me,河岸😜 why do you come here into the dyeing shed?'
And presently in the big hollow in the centre of No-Man's-Land they began to arrive. After three days Speedy came to the Doctor and said:
They reached Nyam-Nyam's village about six o'clock in the evening and the old chief prepared a supper for his guests. There was very little to eat at it,河岸🐅 however. And the Doctor was again reminded how poor these people were.
"How dare you speak to me like that? I am the Emir of Ellebubu,漫画🎈" he thundered.
"Pearls? What do you mean?" said the bird.
As they were approaching the houseboat they noticed a large number of canoes collected about it. To-day was not one of the outgoing or incoming mail days and the Doctor wondered what the excitement could be.
"Very well,河岸🙀" said the Emir,整版🌰 stamping his foot,河岸🏯 "then let him starve. In ten days more the fool will be dead. Then I will come and laugh over him. So perish all wretches who oppose the wishes of the Emir of Ellebubu!"
That letter,漫画♑ the last circular order issued by the great Postmaster General to the staff of the Swallow Mail,河岸📱 was treasured by Cheapside for many years. He hid it under his untidy nest in St. Edmund's left ear on the south side of the chancel of St. Paul's Cathedral. He always hoped that the pigeons who lived in the front porch of the British Museum would some day get it into the Museum for him. But one gusty morning,河岸😛 when men were cleaning the outside of the cathedral,河岸🔵 it got blown out of St. Edmund's ear and,漫画🔮 before Cheapside could overtake it,整版⚡ it sailed over the housetops into the river and sank.
"It's like the mountains peeping out after the Flood,漫画🔡" Mudface muttered to the Doctor.
And he sent letters to various fellow naturalists whom he knew in different countries and gave them a whole lot of information about the yearly flights or migration of birds. Because,漫画📓 of course,漫画✳ in the bird mail business he learned a great deal on that subject that had never been known to naturalists before.
"Couldn't you use the houses of Fantippo?" asked the Doctor.
"'No,河岸📮' I said. 'But I can make a noise like a cat. I learned that from an American catbird that lived in a cage in the stable where I spent last summer.'
He agreed with the Doctor that the idea of a bird weather bureau was quite a possible thing and would lead to much better weather reports than had so far been possible. Then for a whole hour and a half he gave the Doctor a lecture on winds. Every word of this John Dolittle wrote down in a notebook.
At length reaching the great glass lamp chamber at the top,河岸⚽ he set down his candle and,整版🚑 striking two matches at once he held one in each hand and lit the big wick in two places.
"Then a peculiar thing happened. Sir Timothy,整版💈 who had always so far seemed too weak to walk,整版🐷 got right out of his wheel chair and,漫画🔸 waving his ear trumpet wildly,漫画🔓 ran around all over the sanitarium,整版🐹 making speeches to the other invalids,漫画💖 saying how shamefully he had been treated and calling on them to strike for their rights.
It was four o'clock in the afternoon when the King brought that letter to the Doctor. And when His Majesty woke up in the morning and came down to breakfast there was the answer to it lying beside his plate!
The Doctor readily agreed because he hadn't been on a voyage in a long while and he felt he too needed a change from the chilly December days of England.
"Once upon a time,河岸⏳" Gub-Gub began,河岸😹 "a small pig went out into the forest with his father to dig for truffles. The father pig was a very clever truffle digger,漫画🍭 and just by smelling the ground he could tell with great sureness the places where truffles were to be found. Well,整版📼 this day they came upon a place beneath some big oak trees and they started digging. Presently,漫画🎥 after the father pig had dug up an enormous truffle and they were both eating it,河岸🔪 they heard,河岸🍟 to their great astonishment,整版🛄 the sound of voices coming from the hole out of which they had dug the truffle.
"Now,河岸🐐 it happened that the queen had noticed the baby pig within the castle grounds and,河岸🌆 being a princess of Irish blood,整版💴 she took a great fancy to him and had a piece of green ribbon tied about his neck and made a regular pet of him,河岸🍜 much to the disgust of her husband,整版🌌 the king.
