No
,
they
are
not
lost
,
I
hope
;
but
,
I
fear
,
there
is
not
much
chance
of
their
being
saved
.
The
ship
struck
at
the
very
tail
of
the
island
on
which
we
are
cast
.
When
the
boat
was
tossed
into
the
sea
it
fortunately
did
not
upset
,
although
it
shipped
a
good
deal
of
water
,
and
all
the
men
managed
to
scramble
into
it
;
but
before
they
could
get
the
oars
out
,
the
gale
carried
them
past
the
point
and
away
to
leeward
of
the
island
.
After
we
landed
I
saw
them
endeavouring
to
pull
towards
us
;
but
as
they
had
only
one
pair
of
oars
out
of
the
eight
that
belonged
to
the
boat
,
and
as
the
wind
was
blowing
right
in
their
teeth
,
they
gradually
lost
ground
.
Then
I
saw
them
put
about
and
hoist
some
sort
of
sail
--
a
blanket
,
I
fancy
,
for
it
was
too
small
for
the
boat
--
and
in
half-an-hour
they
were
out
of
sight
.
"
"
Poor
fellows
!
"
I
murmured
sorrowfully
.
"
But
the
more
I
think
about
it
I
've
better
hope
of
them
,
"
continued
Jack
in
a
more
cheerful
tone
.
"
You
see
,
Ralph
,
I
've
read
a
great
deal
about
these
South
Sea
Islands
,
and
I
know
that
in
many
places
they
are
scattered
about
in
thousands
over
the
sea
,
so
they
're
almost
sure
to
fall
in
with
one
of
them
before
long
.
"
"
I
'm
sure
I
hope
so
,
"
said
Peterkin
earnestly
.
"
But
what
has
become
of
the
wreck
,
Jack
?
I
saw
you
clambering
up
the
rocks
there
while
I
was
watching
Ralph
.
Did
you
say
she
had
gone
to
pieces
?
"
"
No
,
she
has
not
gone
to
pieces
;
but
she
has
gone
to
the
bottom
,
"
replied
Jack
.
"
As
I
said
before
,
she
struck
on
the
tail
of
the
island
and
stove
in
her
bow
;
but
the
next
breaker
swung
her
clear
,
and
she
floated
away
to
leeward
.
The
poor
fellows
in
the
boat
made
a
hard
struggle
to
reach
her
,
but
long
before
they
came
near
her
she
filled
and
went
down
.
It
was
after
she
had
foundered
that
I
saw
them
trying
to
pull
to
the
island
.
"
There
was
a
long
silence
after
Jack
had
ceased
speaking
,
and
I
have
no
doubt
that
each
was
revolving
in
his
mind
our
extraordinary
position
.
For
my
part
,
I
can
not
say
that
my
reflections
were
very
agreeable
.
I
knew
that
we
were
on
an
island
,
for
Jack
had
said
so
;
but
whether
it
was
inhabited
or
not
,
I
did
not
know
.
If
it
should
be
inhabited
,
I
felt
certain
,
from
all
I
had
heard
of
South
Sea
Islanders
,
that
we
should
be
roasted
alive
and
eaten
.
If
it
should
turn
out
to
be
uninhabited
,
I
fancied
that
we
should
be
starved
to
death
.
"
Oh
,
"
thought
I
,
"
if
the
ship
had
only
struck
on
the
rocks
we
might
have
done
pretty
well
,
for
we
could
have
obtained
provisions
from
her
,
and
tools
to
enable
us
to
build
a
shelter
;
but
now
--
alas
!
alas
!
we
are
lost
!
"
These
last
words
I
uttered
aloud
in
my
distress
.
"
Lost
,
Ralph
!
"
exclaimed
Jack
,
while
a
smile
overspread
his
hearty
countenance
.
"
Saved
,
you
should
have
said
.
Your
cogitations
seem
to
have
taken
a
wrong
road
,
and
led
you
to
a
wrong
conclusion
.
"
"
Do
you
know
what
conclusion
I
have
come
to
?
"
said
Peterkin
.
"
I
have
made
up
my
mind
that
it
's
capital
--
first-rate
--
the
best
thing
that
ever
happened
to
us
,
and
the
most
splendid
prospect
that
ever
lay
before
three
jolly
young
tars
.
We
've
got
an
island
all
to
ourselves
.
We
'll
take
possession
in
the
name
of
the
king
.
We
'll
go
and
enter
the
service
of
its
black
inhabitants
.
Of
course
we
'll
rise
,
naturally
,
to
the
top
of
affairs
:
white
men
always
do
in
savage
countries
.
You
shall
be
king
,
Jack
;
Ralph
,
prime
minister
;
and
I
shall
be
-
