The Speech of Monkeys
·
R. L. Garner
111
A
gentleman
of
my
acquaintance
assured
me
recently
that
during
his
sojourn
of
two
years
in
the
Island
of
Sumatra,
he
had
in
his
service
a
large
orang.
This
ape
did
many
chores
about
the
place,
and
performed
many
simple
duties
as
well
as
the
other
domestics
did.
On
one
occasion,
this
ape
was
induced
to
go
aboard
a
steamer
which
lay
in
the
harbour.
The
purpose
was
to
kidnap
him
and
carry
him
to
Europe.
Either
through
fear,
instinct,
reason,
or
some
other
cause,
this
ape
jumped
overboard
and
swam
ashore,
although
he
was
naturally
afraid
of
water.
From
that
time
on
to
the
end
of
the
gentleman's
residence
there,
he
assures
me
that
whenever
a
steamer
made
its
appearance
in
the
harbour,
the
ape
would
take
flight
to
the
forest,
where
he
would
stay
as
long
as
the
vessel
remained
in
sight.
He
was
seen
from
time
to
time,
but
could
not
be
induced
to
return
to
the
house
until
the
vessel
had
departed.
