The
noble
animal
swam
superbly
,
instinctively
making
for
the
tree
in
a
straight
line
.
The
tree
was
only
twenty
fathoms
off
,
and
in
a
few
minutes
was
safely
reached
by
the
whole
party
;
but
for
this
refuge
they
must
all
have
perished
in
the
flood
.
The
water
had
risen
to
the
top
of
the
trunk
,
just
to
where
the
parent
branches
fork
out
.
It
was
consequently
,
quite
easy
to
clamber
up
to
it
.
Thalcave
climbed
up
first
,
and
got
off
his
horse
to
hoist
up
Robert
and
help
the
others
.
His
powerful
arms
had
soon
placed
all
the
exhausted
swimmers
in
a
place
of
security
.
But
,
meantime
,
Thaouka
was
being
rapidly
carried
away
by
the
current
.
He
turned
his
intelligent
face
toward
his
master
,
and
,
shaking
his
long
mane
,
neighed
as
if
to
summon
him
to
his
rescue
.
"
Are
you
going
to
forsake
him
,
Thalcave
?
"
asked
Paganel
.
"
I
!
"
replied
the
Indian
,
and
forthwith
he
plunged
down
into
the
tumultuous
waters
,
and
came
up
again
ten
fathoms
off
.
A
few
instants
afterward
his
arms
were
round
Thaouka
's
neck
,
and
master
and
steed
were
drifting
together
toward
the
misty
horizon
of
the
north
.
THE
tree
on
which
Glenarvan
and
his
companions
had
just
found
refuge
,
resembled
a
walnut-tree
,
having
the
same
glossy
foliage
and
rounded
form
.
In
reality
,
however
,
it
was
the
OMBU
,
which
grows
solitarily
on
the
Argentine
plains
.
The
enormous
and
twisted
trunk
of
this
tree
is
planted
firmly
in
the
soil
,
not
only
by
its
great
roots
,
but
still
more
by
its
vigorous
shoots
,
which
fasten
it
down
in
the
most
tenacious
manner
.
This
was
how
it
stood
proof
against
the
shock
of
the
mighty
billow
.
This
OMBU
measured
in
height
a
hundred
feet
,
and
covered
with
its
shadow
a
circumference
of
one
hundred
and
twenty
yards
.
All
this
scaffolding
rested
on
three
great
boughs
which
sprang
from
the
trunk
.
Two
of
these
rose
almost
perpendicularly
,
and
supported
the
immense
parasol
of
foliage
,
the
branches
of
which
were
so
crossed
and
intertwined
and
entangled
,
as
if
by
the
hand
of
a
basket-maker
,
that
they
formed
an
impenetrable
shade
.
The
third
arm
,
on
the
contrary
,
stretched
right
out
in
a
horizontal
position
above
the
roaring
waters
,
into
which
the
lower
leaves
dipped
.
There
was
no
want
of
room
in
the
interior
of
this
gigantic
tree
,
for
there
were
great
gaps
in
the
foliage
,
perfect
glades
,
with
air
in
abundance
,
and
freshness
everywhere
.
To
see
the
innumerable
branches
rising
to
the
clouds
,
and
the
creepers
running
from
bough
to
bough
,
and
attaching
them
together
while
the
sunlight
glinted
here
and
there
among
the
leaves
,
one
might
have
called
it
a
complete
forest
instead
of
a
solitary
tree
sheltering
them
all
.
On
the
arrival
of
the
fugitives
a
myriad
of
the
feathered
tribes
fled
away
into
the
topmost
branches
,
protesting
by
their
outcries
against
this
flagrant
usurpation
of
their
domicile
.
These
birds
,
who
themselves
had
taken
refuge
in
the
solitary
OMBU
,
were
in
hundreds
,
comprising
blackbirds
,
starlings
,
isacas
,
HILGUEROS
,
and
especially
the
pica-flor
,
humming-birds
of
most
resplendent
colors
.
When
they
flew
away
it
seemed
as
though
a
gust
of
wind
had
blown
all
the
flowers
off
the
tree
.
Such
was
the
asylum
offered
to
the
little
band
of
Glenarvan
.
Young
Grant
and
the
agile
Wilson
were
scarcely
perched
on
the
tree
before
they
had
climbed
to
the
upper
branches
and
put
their
heads
through
the
leafy
dome
to
get
a
view
of
the
vast
horizon
.
The
ocean
made
by
the
inundation
surrounded
them
on
all
sides
,
and
,
far
as
the
eye
could
reach
,
seemed
to
have
no
limits
.
Not
a
single
tree
was
visible
on
the
liquid
plain
;
the
OMBU
stood
alone
amid
the
rolling
waters
,
and
trembled
before
them
.
In
the
distance
,
drifting
from
south
to
north
,
carried
along
by
the
impetuous
torrent
,
they
saw
trees
torn
up
by
the
roots
,
twisted
branches
,
roofs
torn
off
,
destroyed
RANCHOS
,
planks
of
sheds
stolen
by
the
deluge
from
ESTANCIAS
,
carcasses
of
drowned
animals
,
blood-stained
skins
,
and
on
a
shaky
tree
a
complete
family
of
jaguars
,
howling
and
clutching
hold
of
their
frail
raft
.
Still
farther
away
,
a
black
spot
almost
invisible
,
already
caught
Wilson
's
eye
.
It
was
Thalcave
and
his
faithful
Thaouka
.
