I
have
also
once
more
brought
the
story
of
David
's
adventures
to
an
abrupt
end
.
"
And
it
really
is
the
end
this
time
,
David
,
"
I
said
severely
.
(
I
always
say
that
.
)
It
ended
on
the
coast
of
Patagonia
,
whither
we
had
gone
to
shoot
the
great
Sloth
,
known
to
be
the
largest
of
animals
,
though
we
found
his
size
to
have
been
under-estimated
.
David
,
his
father
and
I
had
flung
our
limbs
upon
the
beach
and
were
having
a
last
pipe
before
turning
in
,
while
Mary
,
attired
in
barbaric
splendour
,
sang
and
danced
before
us
.
It
was
a
lovely
evening
,
and
we
lolled
manlike
,
gazing
,
well-content
,
at
the
pretty
creature
.
The
night
was
absolutely
still
save
for
the
roaring
of
the
Sloths
in
the
distance
.
By-and-by
Irene
came
to
the
entrance
of
our
cave
,
where
by
the
light
of
her
torch
we
could
see
her
exploring
a
shark
that
had
been
harpooned
by
David
earlier
in
the
day
.
Everything
conduced
to
repose
,
and
a
feeling
of
gentle
peace
crept
over
us
,
from
which
we
were
roused
by
a
shrill
cry
.
It
was
uttered
by
Irene
,
who
came
speeding
to
us
,
bearing
certain
articles
,
a
watch
,
a
pair
of
boots
,
a
newspaper
,
which
she
had
discovered
in
the
interior
of
the
shark
.
What
was
our
surprise
to
find
in
the
newspaper
intelligence
of
the
utmost
importance
to
all
of
us
.
It
was
nothing
less
than
this
,
the
birth
of
a
new
baby
in
London
to
Mary
.
How
strange
a
method
had
Solomon
chosen
of
sending
us
the
news
.
The
bald
announcement
at
once
plunged
us
into
a
fever
of
excitement
,
and
next
morning
we
set
sail
for
England
.
Soon
we
came
within
sight
of
the
white
cliffs
of
Albion
.
Mary
could
not
sit
down
for
a
moment
,
so
hot
was
she
to
see
her
child
.
She
paced
the
deck
in
uncontrollable
agitation
.
"
So
did
I
!
"
cried
David
,
when
I
had
reached
this
point
in
the
story
.
On
arriving
at
the
docks
we
immediately
hailed
a
cab
.
"
Never
,
David
,
"
I
said
,
"
shall
I
forget
your
mother
's
excitement
.
She
kept
putting
her
head
out
of
the
window
and
calling
to
the
cabby
to
go
quicker
,
quicker
.
How
he
lashed
his
horse
!
At
last
he
drew
up
at
your
house
,
and
then
your
mother
,
springing
out
,
flew
up
the
steps
and
beat
with
her
hands
upon
the
door
.
"
