My
worthy
friend
,
we
can
not
do
better
than
sink
our
Columbiad
in
these
high
grounds
.
"
"
To
get
nearer
the
moon
,
perhaps
?
"
said
the
secretary
of
the
Gun
Club
.
"
Not
exactly
,
"
replied
Barbicane
,
smiling
;
"
do
you
not
see
that
among
these
elevated
plateaus
we
shall
have
a
much
easier
work
of
it
?
No
struggles
with
the
water-springs
,
which
will
save
us
long
expensive
tubings
;
and
we
shall
be
working
in
daylight
instead
of
down
a
deep
and
narrow
well
.
Our
business
,
then
,
is
to
open
our
trenches
upon
ground
some
hundreds
of
yards
above
the
level
of
the
sea
.
"
"
You
are
right
,
sir
,
"
struck
in
Murchison
,
the
engineer
;
"
and
,
if
I
mistake
not
,
we
shall
ere
long
find
a
suitable
spot
for
our
purpose
.
"
"
I
wish
we
were
at
the
first
stroke
of
the
pickaxe
,
"
said
the
president
.
"
And
I
wish
we
were
at
the
last
,
"
cried
J.
T.
Maston
.
About
ten
A.
M.
the
little
band
had
crossed
a
dozen
miles
.
To
fertile
plains
succeeded
a
region
of
forests
.
There
perfumes
of
the
most
varied
kinds
mingled
together
in
tropical
profusion
.
These
almost
impenetrable
forests
were
composed
of
pomegranates
,
orange-trees
,
citrons
,
figs
,
olives
,
apricots
,
bananas
,
huge
vines
,
whose
blossoms
and
fruits
rivaled
each
other
in
color
and
perfume
.
Beneath
the
odorous
shade
of
these
magnificent
trees
fluttered
and
warbled
a
little
world
of
brilliantly
plumaged
birds
.
J.
T.
Maston
and
the
major
could
not
repress
their
admiration
on
finding
themselves
in
the
presence
of
the
glorious
beauties
of
this
wealth
of
nature
.
President
Barbicane
,
however
,
less
sensitive
to
these
wonders
,
was
in
haste
to
press
forward
;
the
very
luxuriance
of
the
country
was
displeasing
to
him
.
They
hastened
onward
,
therefore
,
and
were
compelled
to
ford
several
rivers
,
not
without
danger
,
for
they
were
infested
with
huge
alligators
from
fifteen
to
eighteen
feet
long
.
Maston
courageously
menaced
them
with
his
steel
hook
,
but
he
only
succeeded
in
frightening
some
pelicans
and
teal
,
while
tall
flamingos
stared
stupidly
at
the
party
.
At
length
these
denizens
of
the
swamps
disappeared
in
their
turn
;
smaller
trees
became
thinly
scattered
among
less
dense
thickets
--
a
few
isolated
groups
detached
in
the
midst
of
endless
plains
over
which
ranged
herds
of
startled
deer
.
