I replied, "Yes, mine master." He then said, "Mine (him) ridem yarraman." "Oh, yes." "Which one ?" "That one," said I, pointing to old Cocky, and said, "That's Cocky." Then the boy went up to the horse, and said, "Cocky, you ridem me ?" Turning to me, he said, "All right, master, you and me Burr-r-r-r-r." I was very well pleased to think I should get such a nice little fellow so easily.

It was now near evening, and knowing that these youngsters couldn't possibly be very far from their fathers or mothers, I asked, "Where black fellow ?" Tommy said, quite nonchalantly, "Black fellow come up!" and presently I heard voices, and saw a whole host of men, women, and children.

Then these three boys set up a long squeaky harangue to the others, and three or four men and five or six boys came running up to me.

One was a middle-aged, good-looking man; with him were two boys, and Tommy gave me to understand that these were his father and brothers.

The father drew Tommy towards him, and ranged his three boys in a row, and when I looked at them, it was impossible to doubt their relationship--they were all three so wonderfully alike.
