My shout attracted the notice of Kepenau, who at once recognised me, and steered his canoe for the bank.  He and Ashatea stepped on shore, and seemed much pleased at seeing me.  I introduced Reuben, who made as polite a bow to the Indian girl as he would have done to a princess. She put out her hand, and in her broken language inquired if he had a sister.  On his replying that such was the case, Ashatea expressed a hope that she would become a friend to her, as Lily was.
