Unfortunately
,
just
after
mid
-
day
,
the
wind
fell
.
Nevertheless
,
thanks
to
the
current
,
the
Island
of
Tsalal
was
signalled
at
forty
-
five
minutes
past
six
in
the
evening
.
The
anchor
was
cast
,
a
watch
was
set
,
with
loaded
firearms
within
hand
-
reach
,
and
boarding
-
nets
ready
The
Halbrane
ran
no
risk
of
being
surprised
.
Too
many
eyes
were
watching
on
board
—
especially
those
of
Hunt
,
whose
gaze
never
quitted
the
horizon
of
that
southern
zone
for
an
instant
.
The
night
passed
without
alarm
.
No
boat
had
put
off
from
the
island
,
nor
had
a
native
shown
himself
upon
the
beach
.
The
Halbrane
,
then
,
had
not
been
observed
on
her
arrival
;
this
was
all
the
better
.
We
had
cast
anchor
in
ten
fathoms
,
at
three
miles
from
the
coast
.
When
the
Jane
appeared
in
these
waters
,
the
people
of
Tsalal
beheld
a
ship
for
the
first
time
,
and
they
took
it
for
an
enormous
animal
,
regarding
its
masts
as
limbs
,
and
its
sails
as
garments
.
Now
,
they
ought
to
be
better
informed
on
this
subject
,
and
if
they
did
not
attempt
to
visit
us
,
to
what
motive
were
we
to
assign
such
conduct
?
Captain
Len
Guy
gave
orders
for
the
lowering
of
the
ship
’
s
largest
boat
,
in
a
voice
which
betrayed
his
impatience
.
The
order
was
executed
,
and
the
captain
,
addressing
West
,
said
—
“
Send
eight
men
down
with
Martin
Holt
;
send
Hunt
to
the
helm
.
Remain
yourself
at
the
moorings
,
and
keep
a
look
-
out
landwards
as
well
as
to
sea
.
”
“
Aye
,
aye
,
sir
;
don
’
t
be
uneasy
.
”
