Your orders were to the tribe, she replied in a
quiet voice. Wi gave no answer, for anger made him speechless. Also there were women
who sided with her.
TheWitch-from-the-Sea whom Wi clasps upon his
breast has not died fortreachery.
He turned andlooked over the edge of the little
cliff at the morass beneath.
The gathering light fell on this paddlers hair, and
he saw that itglinted yellow. Meanwhile, learn, Wi, that many peopledescend on you,
coming in boats like this, only larger.
Then he thought again, thus:The odds are
great.
Indeed, she sankdown upon the sand as though she
were very tired.
Wi heard all their praises but answered nothing to
them. Alsoit was she who taught us to throw stones into the boats. I only know that
she saved Wis life byoffering up her own. Do you seek counsel of me while Laleela
stands there? There are not other people,unless they be yours that you have brought
upon us. Then he thought again, thus:The odds are great. Then Wi and Moananga
screamed tothe tribe to charge. There are not other people,unless they be yours that
you have brought upon us.
Indeed, she sankdown upon the sand as though she
were very tired.
Then they sawthat the sand beneath her was red with
blood and that her blue robewas also red.
Aye, while Pag pulled she still smiled, thoughhe
noted that her lips turned pale and twitched.
Now Wi cried aloud and would have fallen had
notMoananga caught him by the arm.
