An
old
pistol
,
"
replied
Peterkin
,
holding
up
the
weapon
,
which
he
had
just
pulled
from
under
a
heap
of
broken
wood
and
rubbish
that
lay
in
a
corner
.
"
That
,
indeed
,
might
have
been
useful
,
"
said
Jack
,
examining
it
,
"
if
we
had
any
powder
;
but
I
suspect
the
bow
and
the
sling
will
prove
more
serviceable
.
"
"
True
,
I
forgot
that
,
"
said
Peterkin
;
"
but
we
may
as
well
take
it
with
us
,
for
the
flint
will
serve
to
strike
fire
with
when
the
sun
does
not
shine
.
"
After
having
spent
more
than
an
hour
at
this
place
without
discovering
anything
of
further
interest
,
Peterkin
took
up
the
old
cat
,
which
had
lain
very
contentedly
asleep
on
the
stool
whereon
he
had
placed
it
,
and
we
prepared
to
take
our
departure
.
In
leaving
the
hut
,
Jack
stumbled
heavily
against
the
door-post
,
which
was
so
much
decayed
as
to
break
across
,
and
the
whole
fabric
of
the
hut
seemed
ready
to
tumble
about
our
ears
.
This
put
it
into
our
heads
that
we
might
as
well
pull
it
down
,
and
so
form
a
mound
over
the
skeleton
.
Jack
,
therefore
,
with
his
axe
,
cut
down
the
other
door-post
,
which
,
when
it
was
done
,
brought
the
whole
hut
in
ruins
to
the
ground
,
and
thus
formed
a
grave
to
the
bones
of
the
poor
recluse
and
his
dog
.
Then
we
left
the
spot
,
having
brought
away
the
iron
pot
,
the
pistol
,
and
the
old
axe
,
as
they
might
be
of
much
use
to
us
hereafter
During
the
rest
of
this
day
we
pursued
our
journey
,
and
examined
the
other
end
of
the
large
valley
,
which
we
found
to
be
so
much
alike
to
the
parts
already
described
that
I
shall
not
recount
the
particulars
of
what
we
saw
in
this
place
.
I
may
,
however
,
remark
that
we
did
not
quite
recover
our
former
cheerful
spirits
until
we
arrived
at
our
bower
,
which
we
did
late
in
the
evening
,
and
found
everything
just
in
the
same
condition
as
we
had
left
it
three
days
before
.
Rest
is
sweet
,
as
well
for
the
body
as
for
the
mind
.
During
my
long
experience
,
amid
the
vicissitudes
of
a
chequered
life
,
I
have
found
that
periods
of
profound
rest
at
certain
intervals
,
in
addition
to
the
ordinary
hours
of
repose
,
are
necessary
to
the
well-being
of
man
.
And
the
nature
,
as
well
as
the
period
,
of
this
rest
varies
according
to
the
different
temperaments
of
individuals
and
the
peculiar
circumstances
in
which
they
may
chance
to
be
placed
.
To
those
who
work
with
their
minds
,
bodily
labour
is
rest
;
to
those
who
labour
with
the
body
,
deep
sleep
is
rest
;
to
the
downcast
,
the
weary
,
and
the
sorrowful
,
joy
and
peace
are
rest
.
Nay
,
further
,
I
think
that
to
the
gay
,
the
frivolous
,
the
reckless
,
when
sated
with
pleasures
that
can
not
last
,
even
sorrow
proves
to
be
rest
of
a
kind
,
although
,
perchance
,
it
were
better
that
I
should
call
it
relief
than
rest
.
There
is
,
indeed
,
but
one
class
of
men
to
whom
rest
is
denied
--
there
is
no
rest
to
the
wicked
.
At
this
I
do
but
hint
,
however
,
as
I
treat
not
of
that
rest
which
is
spiritual
,
but
more
particularly
of
that
which
applies
to
the
mind
and
to
the
body
.
Of
this
rest
we
stood
much
in
need
on
our
return
home
,
and
we
found
it
exceedingly
sweet
when
we
indulged
in
it
after
completing
the
journey
just
related
.
It
had
not
,
indeed
,
been
a
very
long
journey
;
nevertheless
,
we
had
pursued
it
so
diligently
that
our
frames
were
not
a
little
prostrated
.
Our
minds
were
also
very
much
exhausted
in
consequence
of
the
many
surprises
,
frequent
alarms
,
and
much
profound
thought
to
which
they
had
been
subjected
;
so
that
when
we
lay
down
,
on
the
night
of
our
return
,
under
the
shelter
of
the
bower
,
we
fell
immediately
into
very
deep
repose
.
I
can
state
this
with
much
certainty
;
for
Jack
afterwards
admitted
the
fact
,
and
Peterkin
,
although
he
stoutly
denied
it
,
I
heard
snoring
loudly
at
least
two
minutes
after
lying
down
.
In
this
condition
we
remained
all
night
and
the
whole
of
the
following
day
without
awaking
once
,
or
so
much
as
moving
our
positions
.
When
we
did
awake
it
was
near
sunset
,
and
we
were
all
in
such
a
state
of
lassitude
that
we
merely
rose
to
swallow
a
mouthful
of
food
.
As
Peterkin
remarked
,
in
the
midst
of
a
yawn
,
we
took
breakfast
at
tea-time
,
and
then
went
to
bed
again
,
where
we
lay
till
the
following
forenoon
.
After
this
we
arose
very
greatly
refreshed
,
but
much
alarmed
lest
we
had
lost
count
of
a
day
.
I
say
we
were
much
alarmed
on
this
head
;
for
we
had
carefully
kept
count
of
the
days
,
since
we
were
cast
upon
our
island
,
in
order
that
we
might
remember
the
Sabbath-day
,
which
day
we
had
hitherto
,
with
one
accord
,
kept
as
a
day
of
rest
,
and
refrained
from
all
work
whatsoever
.
However
,
on
considering
the
subject
,
we
all
three
entertained
the
same
opinion
as
to
how
long
we
had
slept
,
and
so
our
minds
were
put
at
ease
.
We
now
hastened
to
our
Water
Garden
to
enjoy
a
bathe
,
and
to
see
how
did
the
animals
which
I
had
placed
in
the
tank
.
