Each
of
us
had
on
a
pair
of
stout
canvas
trousers
and
a
pair
of
sailors
'
thick
shoes
.
Jack
wore
a
red
flannel
shirt
,
a
blue
jacket
,
and
a
red
Kilmarnock
bonnet
or
nightcap
,
besides
a
pair
of
worsted
socks
,
and
a
cotton
pocket-handkerchief
with
sixteen
portraits
of
Lord
Nelson
printed
on
it
and
a
union-jack
in
the
middle
.
Peterkin
had
on
a
striped
flannel
shirt
--
which
he
wore
outside
his
trousers
and
belted
round
his
waist
,
after
the
manner
of
a
tunic
--
and
a
round
black
straw
hat
.
He
had
no
jacket
,
having
thrown
it
off
just
before
we
were
cast
into
the
sea
;
but
this
was
not
of
much
consequence
,
as
the
climate
of
the
island
proved
to
be
extremely
mild
--
so
much
so
,
indeed
,
that
Jack
and
I
often
preferred
to
go
about
without
our
jackets
.
Peterkin
had
also
a
pair
of
white
cotton
socks
and
a
blue
handkerchief
with
white
spots
all
over
it
.
My
own
costume
consisted
of
a
blue
flannel
shirt
,
a
blue
jacket
,
a
black
cap
,
and
a
pair
of
worsted
socks
,
besides
the
shoes
and
canvas
trousers
already
mentioned
.
This
was
all
we
had
,
and
besides
these
things
we
had
nothing
else
;
but
when
we
thought
of
the
danger
from
which
we
had
escaped
,
and
how
much
worse
off
we
might
have
been
had
the
ship
struck
on
the
reef
during
the
night
,
we
felt
very
thankful
that
we
were
possessed
of
so
much
,
although
,
I
must
confess
,
we
sometimes
wished
that
we
had
had
a
little
more
.
While
we
were
examining
these
things
and
talking
about
them
,
Jack
suddenly
started
and
exclaimed
:
"
The
oar
!
We
have
forgotten
the
oar
!
"
"
What
good
will
that
do
us
?
"
said
Peterkin
.
"
There
's
wood
enough
on
the
island
to
make
a
thousand
oars
.
"
"
Ay
,
lad
,
"
replied
Jack
;
"
but
there
's
a
bit
of
hoop-iron
at
the
end
of
it
,
and
that
may
be
of
much
use
to
us
.
"
"
Very
true
,
"
said
I
;
"
let
us
go
fetch
it
.
"
And
with
that
we
all
three
rose
and
hastened
down
to
the
beach
.
I
still
felt
a
little
weak
from
loss
of
blood
,
so
that
my
companions
soon
began
to
leave
me
behind
;
but
Jack
perceived
this
,
and
,
with
his
usual
considerate
good-nature
,
turned
back
to
help
me
.
This
was
now
the
first
time
that
I
had
looked
well
about
me
since
landing
,
as
the
spot
where
I
had
been
laid
was
covered
with
thick
bushes
,
which
almost
hid
the
country
from
our
view
.
As
we
now
emerged
from
among
these
and
walked
down
the
sandy
beach
together
,
I
cast
my
eyes
about
,
and
truly
my
heart
glowed
within
me
and
my
spirits
rose
at
the
beautiful
prospect
which
I
beheld
on
every
side
.
The
gale
had
suddenly
died
away
,
just
as
if
it
had
blown
furiously
till
it
dashed
our
ship
upon
the
rocks
,
and
had
nothing
more
to
do
after
accomplishing
that
.
The
island
on
which
we
stood
was
hilly
,
and
covered
almost
everywhere
with
the
most
beautiful
and
richly
coloured
trees
,
bushes
,
and
shrubs
,
none
of
which
I
knew
the
names
of
at
that
time
--
except
,
indeed
,
the
cocoa-nut
palms
,
which
I
recognised
at
once
from
the
many
pictures
that
I
had
seen
of
them
before
I
left
home
.
A
sandy
beach
of
dazzling
whiteness
lined
this
bright-green
shore
,
and
upon
it
there
fell
a
gentle
ripple
of
the
sea
.
This
last
astonished
me
much
,
for
I
recollected
that
at
home
the
sea
used
to
fall
in
huge
billows
on
the
shore
long
after
a
storm
had
subsided
.
But
on
casting
my
glance
out
to
sea
the
cause
became
apparent
.
About
a
mile
distant
from
the
shore
I
saw
the
great
billows
of
the
ocean
rolling
like
a
green
wall
,
and
falling
with
a
long
,
loud
roar
upon
a
low
coral
reef
,
where
they
were
dashed
into
white
foam
and
flung
up
in
clouds
of
spray
.
This
spray
sometimes
flew
exceedingly
high
,
and
every
here
and
there
a
beautiful
rainbow
was
formed
for
a
moment
among
the
falling
drops
.
We
afterwards
found
that
this
coral
reef
extended
quite
round
the
island
,
and
formed
a
natural
breakwater
to
it
.
Beyond
this
,
the
sea
rose
and
tossed
violently
from
the
effects
of
the
storm
;
but
between
the
reef
and
the
shore
it
was
as
calm
and
as
smooth
as
a
pond
.
My
heart
was
filled
with
more
delight
than
I
can
express
at
sight
of
so
many
glorious
objects
,
and
my
thoughts
turned
suddenly
to
the
contemplation
of
the
Creator
of
them
all
.
I
mention
this
the
more
gladly
,
because
at
that
time
,
I
am
ashamed
to
say
,
I
very
seldom
thought
of
my
Creator
,
although
I
was
constantly
surrounded
by
the
most
beautiful
and
wonderful
of
His
works
.
I
observed
,
from
the
expression
of
my
companion
's
countenance
,
that
he
too
derived
much
joy
from
the
splendid
scenery
,
which
was
all
the
more
agreeable
to
us
after
our
long
voyage
on
the
salt
sea
.
There
the
breeze
was
fresh
and
cold
;
but
here
it
was
delightfully
mild
,
and
when
a
puff
blew
off
the
land
it
came
laden
with
the
most
exquisite
perfume
that
can
be
imagined
.
While
we
thus
gazed
we
were
startled
by
a
loud
"
Huzza
!
"
from
Peterkin
,
and
on
looking
towards
the
edge
of
the
sea
we
saw
him
capering
and
jumping
about
like
a
monkey
,
and
ever
and
anon
tugging
with
all
his
might
at
something
that
lay
upon
the
shore
.
