"Quite so,画家🚃" said the Captain. "I know he is somewhere around the coast. But where is he now? He's a difficult fish to catch."
Late that same afternoon the Doctor returned to Chief Nyam-Nyam's village. And with him he took the cormorant as well as Dab-Dab and his animals.
"They did,建新🍨" said the Piffilosaurus. "But they kept hidden under the water,画家🚛 lest the natives on the shore should see and get to know that the old story about the dragon's mother-in-law wasn't true. While I was bringing you here they were swimming all around you under the water,建新😍 ready to help if I needed them. They have gone around to the secret cove so they may come ashore unseen. We had better be going on ourselves now. Whatever happens,建新📥 we mustn't be seen from the shore and have the natives coming here. It would be the end of us if that should ever happen,画家🐒 because,建新🐔 between ourselves,画家💊 although they think us so terrible,画家🆗 we are really more harmless than sheep."
So off they went. And when they had come to the best place on the shore the Doctor took off his clothes and,建新🉐 tying them up in a bundle,建新🐵 he fastened them on his head,画家💌 with the precious high hat on the top of all. Then he waded into the surf and,建新📔 with Jip beside him,画家🌎 started swimming for the island.
After he had listened to the description of the man's cross-eyed,画家😪 ugly face,建新⛵ the King said,画家😛 yes,画家👟 he knew him very well. He was a pearl fisherman,建新🔰 who spent most of his time in the Pacific Ocean,画家🈁 where fishing for pearls was more common. But,画家🏂 the King said,建新⚾ he often came hanging around these parts,画家✉ where he was known to be a great villain who would do anything to get pearls or money. Jack Wilkins was his name.
"Build windows in the prison at once,画家🌘" the Emir said to the guards.
This made the kingdom of Fantippo much richer and more important than it had been before,画家📨 of course. And a large grant of money was given by the King to the Foreign Mails post office,画家📈 which was used by the Doctor in making the houseboat better and bigger.
Then,画家♥ in order to deal with this wide demand for information which had been brought about by his post office,建新🎅 John Dolittle started,画家🌙 for the first time in history,建新🐾 courses by correspondence for animals.
"It was Sir Timothy Quisby,画家👋 our most expensive patient"
"Oh,画家🈲 no,画家🚈" said the Doctor,建新⏳ "thank you. I have a house and garden."
"About one more day's journey,画家📡" said the snake. "A wide belt of these swamps surrounds the Secret Lake of Junganyika on all sides. The going will become freer as we approach the open water of the lake."
"The Doctor saw the shape of an enormous turtle"
King Koko even sent for a new bicycle. It was brought over in pieces,画家🈵 two storks carrying a wheel each,画家👂 an eagle the frame and crows the smaller parts,建新🌹 like the pedals,画家📷 the spanners and the oil can.
"Oh,画家🍓 excuse me,建新🎥" said the Captain,建新✌ his manner changing at once. "Master-at-arms,画家👥 release the prisoner."
As soon as these two men stepped ashore at Fantippo a porter came up to them to carry their bags. And right in the middle of the porter's chest the collectors spied the twopenny-halfpenny Fantippo red! Then both of the stamp collectors offered to buy the stamp. And as each was anxious to have it for his collection,画家😥 before long they were offering high prices for it,画家💆 bidding against one another.
They asked the Doctor if he could give them any news of their beloved London. But he had to admit that he also had been away from that city for a long time. However,建新🐵 while they were talking Cheapside came into the lighthouse kitchen,建新🌱 looking for the Doctor. The city sparrow was delighted to find that the keepers were also Cockneys. And he gave them,画家❗ through the Doctor,画家💓 all the latest gossip of Wapping,画家🍉 Limehouse,画家⚓ the East India Docks and the wharves and the shipping of London River.
"'Tuffie brought us home,画家🔲' says the little girl. 'She came out after us and led us here by going ahead of us and meowing.'
"I'll see what I can do for you,画家💍 Doc,建新😬" said the Sparrow,画家🅱 "after I've taken a look around this 'eathen town of yours. But first I want a bath. I'm all heat up from flying under a broiling sun. Ain't you got no puddles round here for a bird to take a bath in?"
CHAPTER I
"'Oh,建新🍋 la,建新📞 la,画家⭕ la!' said she,建新📥 smirking. 'You wouldn't expect any self-respecting person to keep company with a blue mouse,画家⚡ would you?'
Later in the afternoon the gull returned and with him came the great One Eye,画家🔷 oldest of bird weather prophets.
For many folks it would have seemed a creepy,画家💯 nightmary sort of country,建新♉ this land of the mangrove swamps. But to the Doctor,画家💞 for whom any kind of animal life was always companionable and good intentioned,建新🎺 it was a most delightful new field of exploration.
In the meantime the Emir,画家🐧 celebrating victory in his palace,画家👈 gave orders that the Harmattan Rocks,画家🔐 which were now to be called the Royal Ellebubu Pearl Fisheries,画家🌞 would henceforth be his exclusive,画家♻ private property,建新🈴 and no trespassing would be allowed. And he sent out six special men with orders to take over the islands and to bring all the pearls to him.
"Well,建新📟 you see,建新📩" said John Dolittle,建新🐖 "I think we might,建新🚘 because we could use the mail service for the birds themselves,建新💆 and the animals,建新♥ too,画家♐ to send their letters by,画家📏 as well as the Fantippans."
"'Ugh!' says the little girl,建新🛄 clutching her brother around the neck. 'What was that,画家👻 a spook?'
