Peterkin
drew
a
long
,
deep
breath
on
reaching
the
surface
,
and
in
a
few
seconds
we
were
all
standing
on
the
ledge
of
rock
in
safety
.
Jack
now
searched
for
the
tinder
and
torch
which
always
lay
in
the
cave
.
He
soon
found
them
,
and
lighting
the
torch
,
revealed
to
Peterkin
's
wondering
gaze
the
marvels
of
the
place
.
But
we
were
too
wet
to
waste
much
time
in
looking
about
us
.
Our
first
care
was
to
take
off
our
clothes
and
wring
them
as
dry
as
we
could
.
This
done
,
we
proceeded
to
examine
into
the
state
of
our
larder
,
for
,
as
Jack
truly
remarked
,
there
was
no
knowing
how
long
the
pirates
might
remain
on
the
island
.
"
Perhaps
,
"
said
Peterkin
,
"
they
may
take
it
into
their
heads
to
stop
here
altogether
,
and
so
we
shall
be
buried
alive
in
this
place
.
"
"
Do
n't
you
think
,
Peterkin
,
that
it
's
the
nearest
thing
to
being
drowned
alive
that
you
ever
felt
?
"
said
Jack
with
a
smile
.
"
But
I
have
no
fear
of
that
.
These
villains
never
stay
long
on
shore
.
The
sea
is
their
home
,
so
you
may
depend
upon
it
that
they
wo
n't
stay
more
than
a
day
or
two
at
the
furthest
.
"
We
now
began
to
make
arrangements
for
spending
the
night
in
the
cavern
.
At
various
periods
Jack
and
I
had
conveyed
cocoa-nuts
and
other
fruits
,
besides
rolls
of
cocoa-nut
cloth
,
to
this
submarine
cave
,
partly
for
amusement
,
and
partly
from
a
feeling
that
we
might
possibly
be
driven
one
day
to
take
shelter
here
from
the
savages
.
Little
did
we
imagine
that
the
first
savages
who
would
drive
us
into
it
would
be
white
savages
--
perhaps
our
own
countrymen
!
We
found
the
cocoa-nuts
in
good
condition
,
and
the
cooked
yams
;
but
the
bread-fruits
were
spoiled
.
We
also
found
the
cloth
where
we
had
left
it
,
and
on
opening
it
out
,
there
proved
to
be
sufficient
to
make
a
bed
--
which
was
important
,
as
the
rock
was
damp
.
Having
collected
it
all
together
,
we
spread
out
our
bed
,
placed
our
torch
in
the
midst
of
us
,
and
ate
our
supper
.
It
was
indeed
a
strange
chamber
to
feast
in
;
and
we
could
not
help
remarking
on
the
cold
,
ghastly
appearance
of
the
walls
,
and
the
black
water
at
our
side
with
the
thick
darkness
beyond
,
and
the
sullen
sound
of
the
drops
that
fell
at
long
intervals
from
the
roof
of
the
cavern
into
the
still
water
,
and
the
strong
contrast
between
all
this
and
our
bed
and
supper
,
which
,
with
our
faces
,
were
lit
up
with
the
deep-red
flame
of
the
torch
.
We
sat
long
over
our
meal
,
talking
together
in
subdued
voices
,
for
we
did
not
like
the
dismal
echoes
that
rang
through
the
vault
above
when
we
happened
to
raise
them
.
At
last
the
faint
light
that
came
through
the
opening
died
away
,
warning
us
that
it
was
night
and
time
for
rest
.
We
therefore
put
out
our
torch
and
lay
down
to
sleep
.
On
awaking
,
it
was
some
time
ere
we
could
collect
our
faculties
so
as
to
remember
where
we
were
,
and
we
were
in
much
uncertainty
as
to
whether
it
was
early
or
late
.
We
saw
by
the
faint
light
that
it
was
day
,
but
could
not
guess
at
the
hour
;
so
Jack
proposed
that
he
should
dive
out
and
reconnoitre
.
"
No
,
Jack
,
"
said
I
;
"
do
you
rest
here
.
You
've
had
enough
to
do
during
the
last
few
days
.
Rest
yourself
now
,
and
take
care
of
Peterkin
,
while
I
go
out
to
see
what
the
pirates
are
about
.
I
'll
be
very
careful
not
to
expose
myself
,
and
I
'll
bring
you
word
again
in
a
short
time
.
"
"
Very
well
,
Ralph
,
"
answered
Jack
;
"
please
yourself
.
But
do
n't
be
long
