Think what a dreadful life these poor lit- tle orphans had before them ! Their kind parents cruelly murdered, and themselves prisoners to the barbarous murderers ! At first the savages treated them harshly, and made them endure all kinds of privation and hard- ship. Finally, after changing from one cruel mas- ter to another several times, they were purchased by one more humane than the rest, named Dupper, who took them to his home on a distant island, and treated them with a great deal of . Kin...dness. Dupper taught John how to shoot with the bow and arrow, with which he was himself very expert. He also showed him their method of spearing fish, and taught him many other savage accomplish- ments. In D upper's family, too, the boys both learned to speak the native language, and they soon almost forgot their own. But they did not forget their own country ; at least John did not ; and as he often talked with William about their dear parents, and the pleasant home they had left many miles away, there was but little danger of William forgetting it either.
