"
I
have
an
idea
,
Mr.
Spilett
,
"
said
Herbert
.
"
If
I
were
to
climb
to
the
top
of
one
of
these
kauris
,
I
could
survey
the
country
for
an
immense
distance
round
.
"
"
The
idea
is
good
,
"
replied
the
reporter
;
"
but
could
you
climb
to
the
top
of
those
giants
?
"
"
I
can
at
least
try
,
"
replied
Herbert
.
The
light
and
active
boy
then
sprang
on
the
first
branches
,
the
arrangement
of
which
made
the
ascent
of
the
kauri
easy
,
and
in
a
few
minutes
he
arrived
at
the
summit
,
which
emerged
from
the
immense
plain
of
verdure
.
From
this
elevated
situation
his
gaze
extended
over
all
the
southern
portion
of
the
island
,
from
Claw
Cape
on
the
southeast
,
to
Reptile
End
on
the
southwest
.
To
the
northwest
rose
Mount
Franklin
,
which
concealed
a
great
part
of
the
horizon
.
But
Herbert
,
from
the
height
of
his
observatory
,
could
examine
all
the
yet
unknown
portion
of
the
island
,
which
might
have
given
shelter
to
the
strangers
whose
presence
they
suspected
.
The
lad
looked
attentively
.
There
was
nothing
in
sight
on
the
sea
,
not
a
sail
,
neither
on
the
horizon
nor
near
the
island
.
However
,
as
the
bank
of
trees
hid
the
shore
,
it
was
possible
that
a
vessel
,
especially
if
deprived
of
her
masts
,
might
lie
close
to
the
land
and
thus
be
invisible
to
Herbert
.
Neither
in
the
forests
of
the
Far
West
was
anything
to
be
seen
.
The
wood
formed
an
impenetrable
screen
,
measuring
several
square
miles
,
without
a
break
or
an
opening
.
It
was
impossible
even
to
follow
the
course
of
the
Mercy
,
or
to
ascertain
in
what
part
of
the
mountain
it
took
its
source
.
Perhaps
other
creeks
also
ran
towards
the
west
,
but
they
could
not
be
seen
.
But
at
last
,
if
all
indication
of
an
encampment
escaped
Herbert
's
sight
could
he
not
even
catch
a
glimpse
of
smoke
,
the
faintest
trace
of
which
would
be
easily
discernible
in
the
pure
atmosphere
?
