What
!
"
exclaimed
Jack
,
"
did
you
really
resolve
to
do
that
?
"
"
Now
,
Jack
,
hold
your
tongue
,
"
returned
Peterkin
.
"
I
say
that
I
resolved
to
forego
my
dinner
and
to
push
to
the
head
of
the
small
valley
,
where
I
felt
pretty
sure
of
discovering
the
hogs
.
I
soon
found
that
I
was
on
the
right
scent
,
for
I
had
scarcely
walked
half-a-mile
in
the
direction
of
the
small
plum-tree
we
found
there
the
other
day
when
a
squeak
fell
on
my
ear
.
'
Ho
,
ho
,
'
said
I
,
'
there
you
go
,
my
boys
;
'
and
I
hurried
up
the
glen
.
I
soon
started
them
,
and
singling
out
a
fat
pig
,
ran
tilt
at
him
.
In
a
few
seconds
I
was
up
with
him
,
and
stuck
my
spear
right
through
his
dumpy
body
.
Just
as
I
did
so
,
I
saw
that
we
were
on
the
edge
of
a
precipice
--
whether
high
or
low
,
I
knew
not
;
but
I
had
been
running
at
such
a
pace
that
I
could
not
stop
,
so
the
pig
and
I
gave
a
howl
in
concert
and
went
plunging
over
together
.
I
remembered
nothing
more
after
that
till
I
came
to
my
senses
,
and
found
you
bathing
my
temples
,
and
Ralph
wringing
his
hands
over
me
.
"
But
although
Peterkin
was
often
unfortunate
in
the
way
of
getting
tumbles
,
he
was
successful
on
the
present
occasion
in
hunting
,
and
returned
before
evening
with
three
very
nice
little
hogs
.
I
also
was
successful
in
my
visit
to
the
mud-flats
,
where
I
killed
several
ducks
.
So
that
when
we
launched
and
loaded
our
boat
at
sunrise
the
following
morning
,
we
found
our
store
of
provisions
to
be
more
than
sufficient
.
Part
had
been
cooked
the
night
before
,
and
on
taking
note
of
the
different
items
,
we
found
the
account
to
stand
thus
:
10Bread-fruits
(
two
baked
,
eight
unbaked
)
.
20Yams
(
six
roasted
,
the
rest
raw
)
.
6Taro-roots
.
50Fine
large
plums
.
6Cocoa-nuts
,
ripe
.
6Ditto
,
green
(
for
drinking
)
.
4Large
ducks
and
two
small
ones
,
raw
.
3Cold
roast
pigs
,
with
stuffing
.
I
may
here
remark
that
the
stuffing
had
been
devised
by
Peterkin
specially
for
the
occasion
.
He
kept
the
manner
of
its
compounding
a
profound
secret
,
so
I
can
not
tell
what
it
was
;
but
I
can
say
,
with
much
confidence
,
that
we
found
it
to
be
atrociously
bad
,
and
after
the
first
tasting
,
scraped
it
carefully
out
and
threw
it
overboard
.
We
calculated
that
this
supply
would
last
us
for
several
days
;
but
we
afterwards
found
that
it
was
much
more
than
we
required
,
especially
in
regard
to
the
cocoa-nuts
,
of
which
we
found
large
supplies
wherever
we
went
.
However
,
as
Peterkin
remarked
,
it
was
better
to
have
too
much
than
too
little
,
as
we
knew
not
to
what
straits
we
might
be
put
during
our
voyage
.
It
was
a
very
calm
,
sunny
morning
when
we
launched
forth
and
rowed
over
the
lagoon
towards
the
outlet
in
the
reef
,
and
passed
between
the
two
green
islets
that
guarded
the
entrance
.
We
experienced
some
difficulty
and
no
little
danger
in
passing
the
surf
of
the
breaker
,
and
shipped
a
good
deal
of
water
in
the
attempt
;
but
once
past
the
billow
,
we
found
ourselves
floating
placidly
on
the
long
,
oily
swell
that
rose
and
fell
slowly
as
it
rolled
over
the
wide
ocean
.
Penguin
Island
lay
on
the
other
side
of
our
own
island
,
at
about
a
mile
beyond
the
outer
reef
,
and
we
calculated
that
it
must
be
at
least
twenty
miles
distant
by
the
way
we
should
have
to
go
.
We
might
,
indeed
,
have
shortened
the
way
by
coasting
round
our
island
inside
of
the
lagoon
,
and
going
out
at
the
passage
in
the
reef
nearly
opposite
to
Penguin
Island
;
but
we
preferred
to
go
by
the
open
sea
--
first
,
because
it
was
more
adventurous
,
and
secondly
,
because
we
should
have
the
pleasure
of
again
feeling
the
motion
of
the
deep
,
which
we
all
loved
very
much
,
not
being
liable
to
sea-sickness
.
"
I
wish
we
had
a
breeze
,
"
said
Jack
.
