I went out alone just now to rescue that child, and, as you see, I succeeded in rescuing it.

Your people have wounded me--look at the blood on my arms and chest--but I don't mind for wounds.

I mean you to do as I say, and to make your people do so, too.

Understand, the nation to which I belong is very powerful.
You have heard of the sailing gods who go over the sea in canoes of fire, as swift as the wind, and whose weapons are hollow tubes, that belch forth great bolts of lightning and thunder?
Very well, I am one of them.
If ever you harm a hair of our heads, those sailing gods will before long send one of their mighty fire-canoes, and bring to bear upon your island their thunder and lightning, and destroy your huts, and punish you for the wrong you have ventured to do us.

So now you know.
