Long exile from Christendom and civilization inevitably restores a man to that condition in which God placed him, i.e. what is called savagery. Your true whale-hunter is as much a savage as an Iroqois. I myself am a savage, owing no allegiance but to the King of the Cannibals; and ready at any moment to rebel against him.
