As
they
embarked
,
Neb
cried
,
--
"
But
your
boat
leaks
rather
,
Pencroft
.
"
"
That
's
nothing
,
Neb
,
"
replied
the
sailor
;
"
the
wood
will
get
seasoned
.
In
two
days
there
wo
n't
be
a
single
leak
,
and
our
boat
will
have
no
more
water
in
her
than
there
is
in
the
stomach
of
a
drunkard
.
Jump
in
!
"
They
were
soon
all
seated
,
and
Pencroft
shoved
off
.
The
weather
was
magnificent
,
the
sea
as
calm
as
if
its
waters
were
contained
within
the
narrow
limits
of
a
lake
.
Thus
the
boat
could
proceed
with
as
much
security
as
if
it
was
ascending
the
tranquil
current
of
the
Mercy
.
Neb
took
one
of
the
oars
,
Herbert
the
other
,
and
Pencroft
remained
in
the
stern
in
order
to
use
the
scull
.
The
sailor
first
crossed
the
channel
,
and
steered
close
to
the
southern
point
of
the
islet
.
A
light
breeze
blew
from
the
south
.
No
roughness
was
found
either
in
the
channel
or
the
green
sea
.
A
long
swell
,
which
the
canoe
scarcely
felt
,
as
it
was
heavily
laden
,
rolled
regularly
over
the
surface
of
the
water
.
They
pulled
out
about
half
a
mile
distant
from
the
shore
,
that
they
might
have
a
good
view
of
Mount
Franklin
.
Pencroft
afterwards
returned
towards
the
mouth
of
the
river
.
The
boat
then
skirted
the
shore
,
which
,
extending
to
the
extreme
point
,
hid
all
Tadorn
's
Fens
.
This
point
,
of
which
the
distance
was
increased
by
the
irregularity
of
the
coast
,
was
nearly
three
miles
from
the
Mercy
.
The
settlers
resolved
to
go
to
its
extremity
,
and
only
go
beyond
it
as
much
as
was
necessary
to
take
a
rapid
survey
of
the
coast
as
far
as
Claw
Cape
.
The
canoe
followed
the
windings
of
the
shore
,
avoiding
the
rocks
which
fringed
it
,
and
which
the
rising
tide
began
to
cover
.
The
cliff
gradually
sloped
away
from
the
mouth
of
the
river
to
the
point
.
This
was
formed
of
granite
reeks
,
capriciously
distributed
,
very
different
from
the
cliff
at
Prospect
Heights
,
and
of
an
extremely
wild
aspect
.
It
might
have
been
said
that
an
immense
cartload
of
rocks
had
been
emptied
out
there
.
There
was
no
vegetation
on
this
sharp
promontory
,
which
projected
two
miles
from
the
forest
,
and
it
thus
represented
a
giant
's
arm
stretched
out
from
a
leafy
sleeve
.
The
canoe
,
impelled
by
the
two
oars
,
advanced
without
difficulty
.
Gideon
Spilett
,
pencil
in
one
hand
and
notebook
in
the
other
,
sketched
the
coast
in
bold
strokes
.
Neb
,
Herbert
,
and
Pencroft
chatted
,
while
examining
this
part
of
their
domain
,
which
was
new
to
them
,
and
,
in
proportion
as
the
canoe
proceeded
towards
the
south
,
the
two
Mandible
Capes
appeared
to
move
,
and
surround
Union
Bay
more
closely
.
