e creatures from a well-known purveyor to the menageries of
both hemispheres, and had landed them at night in several voyages to
Spencer Island. It had cost him a good deal, no doubt, to do so; but he
had succeeded in infesting the property of his rival, as the English did
Martinique, if we are to believe the legend, before it was handed over
to France.
There was thus no more to explain of the remarkable occurrences on
Phina Island.
"Well done!" exclaimed William W. Kolderup. "I could not have done
better myself!"
"But with those terrible creatures," said Phina, "Spencer Island--"
"Phina Island--" interrupted Godfrey.
"Phina Island," continued the bride, with a smile, "is quite
uninhabitable."
"Bah!" answered Uncle Will; "we can wait till the last lion has eaten up
the last tiger!"
"And then, dearest Phina," said Godfrey, "you will not be afraid to pass
a season there with me?"
"With you, my dear husband, I fear nothing from anywhere," answered
Phina, "and as you have not had your voyage round the world--"
"We will have it together," said Godfrey, "and if an unlucky chance
should ever make me a real Crusoe--"
"You will ever have near you the most devoted of Crusoe-esses!"
