The
surrounding
shores
were
beautiful
with
semitropical
verdure
,
while
in
the
distance
the
country
rose
from
the
ocean
in
hill
and
tableland
,
almost
uniformly
clothed
by
primeval
forest
.
132
No
signs
of
habitation
were
visible
,
but
that
the
land
might
easily
support
human
life
was
evidenced
by
the
abundant
bird
and
animal
life
of
which
the
watchers
on
the
Fuwalda
's
deck
caught
occasional
glimpses
,
as
well
as
by
the
shimmer
of
a
little
river
which
emptied
into
the
harbor
,
insuring
fresh
water
in
plenitude
.
133
As
darkness
settled
upon
the
earth
,
Clayton
and
Lady
Alice
still
stood
by
the
ship
's
rail
in
silent
contemplation
of
their
future
abode
.
From
the
dark
shadows
of
the
mighty
forest
came
the
wild
calls
of
savage
beasts
--
the
deep
roar
of
the
lion
,
and
,
occasionally
,
the
shrill
scream
of
a
panther
.

The
woman
shrank
closer
to
the
man
in
terror-stricken
anticipation
of
the
horrors
lying
in
wait
for
them
in
the
awful
blackness
of
the
nights
to
come
,
when
they
should
be
alone
upon
that
wild
and
lonely
shore
.
135
Later
in
the
evening
Black
Michael
joined
them
long
enough
to
instruct
them
to
make
their
preparations
for
landing
on
the
morrow
.
136
They
tried
to
persuade
him
to
take
them
to
some
more
hospitable
coast
near
enough
to
civilization
so
that
they
might
hope
to
fall
into
friendly
hands
.
But
no
pleas
,
or
threats
,
or
promises
of
reward
could
move
him
.

"
I
am
the
only
man
aboard
who
would
not
rather
see
ye
both
safely
dead
,
and
,
while
I
know
that
's
the
sensible
way
to
make
sure
of
our
own
necks
,
yet
Black
Michael
's
not
the
man
to
forget
a
favor
.
Ye
saved
my
life
once
,
and
in
return
I
'm
goin
'
to
spare
yours
,
but
that
's
all
I
can
do
.

The
men
wo
n't
stand
for
any
more
,
and
if
we
do
n't
get
ye
landed
pretty
quick
they
may
even
change
their
minds
about
giving
ye
that
much
show
.
I
'll
put
all
yer
stuff
ashore
with
ye
as
well
as
cookin
'
utensils
an
'
some
old
sails
for
tents
,
an
'
enough
grub
to
last
ye
until
ye
can
find
fruit
and
game
.
139
"
With
yer
guns
for
protection
,
ye
ought
to
be
able
to
live
here
easy
enough
until
help
comes
.
When
I
get
safely
hid
away
I
'll
see
to
it
that
the
British
gover
'm
ent
learns
about
where
ye
be
;
for
the
life
of
me
I
could
n't
tell
'em
exactly
where
,
for
I
do
n't
know
myself
.
But
they
'll
find
ye
all
right
.

After
he
had
left
them
they
went
silently
below
,
each
wrapped
in
gloomy
forebodings
.
