We
now
resumed
our
journey
,
resolving
that
,
in
our
future
excursions
into
the
interior
,
we
would
be
careful
to
avoid
this
dangerous
precipice
.
Soon
afterwards
we
arrived
at
the
foot
of
the
hill
,
and
prepared
to
ascend
it
.
Here
Jack
made
a
discovery
which
caused
us
all
very
great
joy
.
This
was
a
tree
of
a
remarkably
beautiful
appearance
,
which
Jack
confidently
declared
to
be
the
celebrated
bread-fruit
tree
.
"
Is
it
celebrated
?
"
inquired
Peterkin
with
a
look
of
great
simplicity
.
"
It
is
,
"
replied
Jack
.
"
That
's
odd
,
now
,
"
rejoined
Peterkin
;
"
I
never
heard
of
it
before
.
"
"
Then
it
's
not
so
celebrated
as
I
thought
it
was
,
"
returned
Jack
,
quietly
squeezing
Peterkin
's
hat
over
his
eyes
;
"
but
listen
,
you
ignorant
boobie
!
and
hear
of
it
now
.
"
Peterkin
readjusted
his
hat
,
and
was
soon
listening
with
as
much
interest
as
myself
while
Jack
told
us
that
this
tree
is
one
of
the
most
valuable
in
the
islands
of
the
south
;
that
it
bears
two
,
sometimes
three
,
crops
of
fruit
in
the
year
;
that
the
fruit
is
very
like
wheaten
bread
in
appearance
,
and
that
it
constitutes
the
principal
food
of
many
of
the
islanders
.
"
So
,
"
said
Peterkin
,
"
we
seem
to
have
everything
ready
prepared
to
our
hands
in
this
wonderful
island
--
lemonade
ready
bottled
in
nuts
,
and
loaf-bread
growing
on
the
trees
!
"
Peterkin
,
as
usual
,
was
jesting
;
nevertheless
,
it
is
a
curious
fact
that
he
spoke
almost
the
literal
truth
.
"
Moreover
,
"
continued
Jack
,
"
the
bread-fruit
tree
affords
a
capital
gum
,
which
serves
the
natives
for
pitching
their
canoes
;
the
bark
of
the
young
branches
is
made
by
them
into
cloth
;
and
of
the
wood
,
which
is
durable
and
of
a
good
colour
,
they
build
their
houses
.
So
you
see
,
lads
,
that
we
have
no
lack
of
material
here
to
make
us
comfortable
,
if
we
are
only
clever
enough
to
use
it
.
