It
must
be
the
ghost
of
a
jackass
,
then
,
"
said
Peterkin
,
"
for
I
never
heard
anything
so
like
.
"
We
all
turned
our
eyes
towards
the
cluster
of
islands
,
where
,
on
the
largest
,
we
observed
curious
objects
moving
on
the
shore
.
"
Soldiers
they
are
--
that
's
flat
!
"
cried
Peterkin
,
gazing
at
them
in
the
utmost
amazement
.
And
,
in
truth
,
Peterkin
's
remark
seemed
to
me
to
be
correct
;
for
at
the
distance
from
which
we
saw
them
,
they
appeared
to
be
an
army
of
soldiers
.
There
they
stood
,
rank
and
file
,
in
lines
and
in
squares
,
marching
and
counter-marching
,
with
blue
coats
and
white
trousers
.
While
we
were
looking
at
them
the
dreadful
cry
came
again
over
the
water
,
and
Peterkin
suggested
that
it
must
be
a
regiment
sent
out
to
massacre
the
natives
in
cold
blood
.
At
this
remark
Jack
laughed
and
said
:
"
Why
,
Peterkin
,
they
are
penguins
!
"
"
Penguins
?
"
repeated
Peterkin
.
"
Ay
,
penguins
,
Peterkin
,
penguins
--
nothing
more
or
less
than
big
sea-birds
,
as
you
shall
see
one
of
these
days
when
we
pay
them
a
visit
in
our
boat
,
which
I
mean
to
set
about
building
the
moment
we
return
to
our
bower
.
"
"
So
,
then
,
our
dreadful
yelling
ghosts
and
our
murdering
army
of
soldiers
,
"
remarked
Peterkin
,
"
have
dwindled
down
to
penguins
--
big
sea-birds
!
Very
good
.
Then
I
propose
that
we
continue
our
journey
as
fast
as
possible
,
lest
our
island
should
be
converted
into
a
dream
before
we
get
completely
round
it
.
"
Now
,
as
we
continued
on
our
way
,
I
pondered
much
over
this
new
discovery
and
the
singular
appearance
of
these
birds
,
of
which
Jack
could
only
give
us
a
very
slight
and
vague
account
;
and
I
began
to
long
to
commence
our
boat
,
in
order
that
we
might
go
and
inspect
them
more
narrowly
.
But
by
degrees
these
thoughts
left
me
,
and
I
began
to
be
much
taken
up
again
with
the
interesting
peculiarities
of
the
country
which
we
were
passing
through
.
The
second
night
we
passed
in
a
manner
somewhat
similar
to
the
first
--
at
about
two-thirds
of
the
way
round
the
island
,
as
we
calculated
--
and
we
hoped
to
sleep
on
the
night
following
at
our
bower
.
I
will
not
here
note
so
particularly
all
that
we
said
and
saw
during
the
course
of
this
second
day
,
as
we
did
not
make
any
further
discoveries
of
great
importance
.
The
shore
along
which
we
travelled
,
and
the
various
parts
of
the
woods
through
which
we
passed
,
were
similar
to
those
which
have
been
already
treated
of
.
