But just at that moment the order came from the Captain,龙神⚽ "Cease firing!" And the men left their places.
All day long a never-ending stream of big birds,龙神🐤 a dozen abreast,龙神🏦 flew up from the sea and headed across Lake Junganyika. The line was like a solid black ribbon,龙神🛅 the birds,龙神📏 dense,龙神🚊 packed and close,龙神😹 beak to tail. And as each dozen reached the spot where Speedy hovered,龙神✊ twelve stones dropped into the water. The procession was so continuous and unbroken that it looked as though the sky were raining stones. And the constant roar of them splashing into the water out of the heavens could be heard a mile off.
"Are you the owner of that Noah's Ark down there?" he stormed,龙神💙 pointing to the other ship alongside.
Toward evening the Doctor arrived at a small settlement of straw huts,龙神😵 the village of Chief Nyam-Nyam. Calling on the Chief with an introduction from King Koko,龙神🍆 the Doctor was well received. He found,龙神👎 however,龙神🍄 that the country over which this chief ruled was indeed in a very poor state. For years powerful neighbors on either side had made war on the old Chief and robbed him of his best farming lands,龙神👜 till now his people were crowded onto a narrow strip of rocky shore where very little food could be grown. The Doctor was particularly distressed by the thinness of the few chickens pecking about in the streets. They reminded him of old broken-down cab-horses,龙神🌷 he said.
"Magic! Do not let his eye fall on you!"
"'It was for your sake I got myself into this beastly mess,龙神📗' I said,龙神📠 as she stalked by me with her nose in the air. 'You're an ungrateful woman,龙神🚦 that's what you are.'
No one went near her and the swallows had her to themselves. And they agreed afterward that they found her the best place for nesting they had ever used.
Well,龙神🌝 when breakfast had been disposed of the Doctor sharpened his pencil,龙神👄 got out a notebook and,龙神😤 telling Too-Too to listen carefully,龙神📜 in case he should miss anything,龙神💽 he asked the turtle to begin the story of the Flood.
"'I am the oldest rat in the town and I know a great deal. But,龙神👈 tell me,龙神♍ why do you come here into the dyeing shed?'
And he took off his clothes,龙神🌷 got into the canoe and paddled out with the animals till he was over the oyster beds. Then he dove right down into the clear green water,龙神📠 while Jip and Gub-Gub watched him with intense interest.
