The inmates of the two valleys were related to each other\r\nby blood, and were known by the same name. The old woman had gone down\r\ninto the Typee valley the day before, and was now with three chiefs, her\r\nsons, on a visit to her kinsmen.\r\n\r\nAs the old king’s wife left him, Jimmy again came up to Toby, and told\r\nhim that he had just talked the whole matter over with the natives, and\r\nthere was only one course for him to follow. They would not allow him to\r\ngo back into the valley, and harm would certainly come to both him and\r\nme, if he remained much longer on the beach. ‘So,’ said he, ‘you and I\r\nhad better go to Nukuheva now overland, and tomorrow I will bring Tommo,\r\nas they call him, by water; they have promised to carry him down to the\r\nsea for me early in the morning, so that there will be no delay.’\r\n\r\n‘No, no,’ said Toby desperately, ‘I will not leave him that way; we must\r\nescape together.’\r\n\r\n‘Then there is no hope for you,’ exclaimed the sailor, ‘for if I leave\r\nyou here on the beach, as soon as I am gone you will be carried back\r\ninto the valley, and then neither of you will ever look upon the\r\nsea again.’ And with many oaths he swore that if he would only go to\r\nNukuheva with him that day, he would be sure to have me there the very\r\nnext morning.\r\n\r\n‘But how do you know they will bring him down to the beach tomorrow,\r\nwhen they will not do so today?’ said Toby. But the sailor had many\r\nreasons, all of which were so mixed up with the mysterious customs\r\nof the islanders, that he was none the wiser. Indeed, their conduct,\r\nespecially in preventing him from returning into the valley, was\r\nabsolutely unaccountable to him; and added to everything else, was the\r\nbitter reflection, that the old sailor, after all, might possibly be\r\ndeceiving him. And then again he had to think of me, left alone with the\r\nnatives, and by no means well. If he went with Jimmy, he might at least\r\nhope to procure some relief for me. But might not the savages who had\r\nacted so strangely, hurry me off somewhere before his return? Then, even\r\nif he remained, perhaps they would not let him go back into the valley\r\nwhere I was.\r\n\r\nThus perplexed was my poor comrade; he knew not what to do, and his\r\ncourageous spirit was of no use to him now. There he was, all by\r\nhimself, seated upon the broken canoe--the natives grouped around him at\r\na distance, and eyeing him more and more fixedly. ‘It is getting late:\r\nsaid Jimmy, who was standing behind the rest. ‘Nukuheva is far off, and\r\nI cannot cross the Happar country by night. You see how it is;--if you\r\ncome along with me, all will be well; if you do not, depend upon it,\r\nneither of you will ever escape.’\r\n\r\n‘There is no help for it,’ said Toby, at last, with a heavy heart, ‘I\r\nwill have to trust you,’ and he came out from the shadow of the little\r\nshrine, and cast a long look up the valley.\r\n\r\n‘Now keep close to my side,’ said the sailor, ‘and let us be moving\r\nquickly.’ Tinor and Fayaway here appeared; the kindhearted old woman\r\nembracing Toby’s knees, and giving way to a flood of tears; while\r\nFayaway, hardly less moved, spoke some few words of English she had\r\nlearned, and held up three fingers before him--in so many days he would\r\nreturn.\r\n\r\nAt last Jimmy pulled Toby out of the crowd, and after calling to a\r\nyoung Typee who was standing by with a young pig in his arms, all three\r\nstarted for the mountains.\r\n\r\n‘I have told them that you are coming back again,’ said the old fellow,\r\nlaughing, as they began the ascent, ‘but they’ll have to wait a long\r\ntime.’ Toby turned, and saw the natives all in motion--the girls waving\r\ntheir tappas in adieu, and the men their spears. As the last figure\r\nentered the grove with one arm raised, and the three fingers spread, his\r\nheart smote him.\r\n\r","title":"Chunk 5"},"relationships":[{"peer":"01KG8AJRVDJJNJKJG4WZCP7VKN","peer_type":"backmatter","predicate":"in"},{"peer":"01KG89J1JYRSHWXR7JM0HYS9D4","peer_type":"file","predicate":"extractedFrom"},{"peer":"01KG89HMDZKNY753EZE1CJ8HZW","peer_type":"collection","predicate":"collection"},{"peer":"01KG8AM2RRGN6MAWTR2FXAB6TP","peer_type":"chunk","predicate":"prev"},{"peer":"01KG8AM2S1N3Q5EQAN70VS5VSH","peer_type":"chunk","predicate":"next"}],"ver":2,"created_at":"2026-01-30T20:48:25.371Z","ts":"2026-01-30T20:48:44.069Z","edited_by":{"method":"manual","user_id":"01KFF0H3YRP9ZSM033AM0QJ47H"}}
