Now
,
while
we
were
engaged
with
these
occupations
and
amusements
,
an
event
occurred
one
day
which
was
as
unexpected
as
it
was
exceedingly
alarming
and
very
horrible
.
Jack
and
I
were
sitting
,
as
we
were
often
wont
to
do
,
on
the
rocks
at
Spouting
Cliff
,
and
Peterkin
was
wringing
the
water
from
his
garments
,
having
recently
fallen
by
accident
into
the
sea
--
a
thing
he
was
constantly
doing
--
when
our
attention
was
suddenly
arrested
by
two
objects
which
appeared
on
the
horizon
.
"
What
are
yon
,
think
you
?
"
I
said
,
addressing
Jack
.
"
I
ca
n't
imagine
,
"
answered
he
.
"
I
've
noticed
them
for
some
time
,
and
fancied
they
were
black
sea-gulls
;
but
the
more
I
look
at
them
,
the
more
I
feel
convinced
they
are
much
larger
than
gulls
.
"
"
They
seem
to
be
coming
towards
us
,
"
said
I.
"
Hallo
!
what
's
wrong
?
"
inquired
Peterkin
,
coming
up
.
"
Look
there
,
"
said
Jack
.
"
Whales
!
"
cried
Peterkin
,
shading
his
eyes
with
his
hand
.
"
No
--
eh
--
can
they
be
boats
,
Jack
?
"
Our
hearts
beat
with
excitement
at
the
very
thought
of
seeing
human
faces
again
.
"
I
think
you
are
about
right
,
Peterkin
.
But
they
seem
to
me
to
move
strangely
for
boats
,
"
said
Jack
in
a
low
tone
,
as
if
he
were
talking
to
himself
.
