For a moment they both sat with their noses in the air , sniffing like hounds ; then Dr. Alec sprang up , saying with great decision , `` Now , this wo n't do ! No one is permitted on this island without asking leave . I must see who dares to fry fish on my private property . '' Taking the basket on one arm and the bundle on the other , he strode away towards the traitorous smell , looking as fierce as a lion , while Rose marched behind under her umbrella . `` We are Robinson Crusoe and his man Friday going to see if the savages have come , '' she said presently , for her fancy was full of the dear old stories that all children love so well . `` And there they are ! Two tents and two boats , as I live ! These rascals mean to enjoy themselves , that 's evident . '' `` There ought to be more boats and no tents . I wonder where the prisoners are ? '' `` There are traces of them , '' and Dr. Alec pointed to the heads and tails of fishes strewn on the grass . `` And there are more , '' said Rose , laughing , as she pointed to a scarlet heap of what looked like lobsters . `` The savages are probably eating their victims now ; do n't you hear the knives rattle in that tent ? '' `` We ought to creep up and peep ; Crusoe was cautious , you know , and Friday scared out of his wits , '' added Rose , still keeping up the joke . `` But this Crusoe is going to pounce upon them , regardless of consequences . If I am killed and eaten , you seize the basket and run for the boat ; there are provisions enough for your voyage home . '' With that Uncle Alec slipped round to the front of the tent and , casting in the big bundle like a bomb-shell , roared out , in a voice of thunder , `` Pirates , surrender ! '' A crash , a shout , a laugh , and out came the savages , brandishing knives and forks , chicken bones , and tin mugs , and all fell upon the intruder , pommelling him unmercifully as they cried , `` You came too soon ! We are not half ready ! You 've spoilt it all !
