The
outlines
of
land
lightly
drawn
above
the
sky
line
were
visible
on
this
side
.
The
land
announced
to
the
sailors
of
the
Jane
was
the
wild
and
barren
Bennet
Islet
.
Less
than
one
degree
south
of
it
lay
Tsalal
Island
,
then
fertile
,
habitable
and
inhabited
,
and
on
which
Captain
Len
Guy
had
hoped
to
meet
his
fellow
-
countrymen
.
But
what
would
this
unknown
island
,
five
degrees
farther
off
in
the
depths
of
the
southern
sea
,
be
for
our
schooner
?
Was
it
the
goal
so
ardently
desired
and
so
earnestly
sought
for
?
Were
the
two
brothers
,
William
and
Len
Guy
,
to
meet
at
this
place
.
Would
the
Halbrane
come
there
to
the
end
of
a
voyage
whose
success
would
be
definitely
secured
by
the
restoration
of
the
survivors
of
the
Jane
to
their
country
?
I
repeat
that
I
was
just
like
the
half
-
breed
.
Our
aim
was
not
merely
to
discover
the
survivors
,
nor
was
success
in
this
matter
the
only
success
we
looked
for
.
However
,
since
land
was
before
our
eyes
,
we
must
get
nearer
to
it
first
.
That
cry
of
”
Land
”
caused
an
immediate
diversion
of
our
thoughts
.
I
no
longer
dwelt
upon
the
secret
Dirk
Peters
had
just
told
me
—
and
perhaps
the
half
-
breed
forgot
it
also
,
for
he
rushed
to
the
bow
and
fixed
his
eyes
immovably
on
the
horizon
.
As
for
West
,
whom
nothing
could
divert
from
his
duty
,
he
repeated
his
commands
.
Gratian
came
to
take
the
helm
,
and
Hearne
was
shut
up
in
the
hold
.
On
the
whole
this
was
a
just
punishment
,
and
none
of
the
old
crew
protested
against
it
,
for
Hearne
’
s
inattention
or
awkwardness
had
really
endangered
the
schooner
,
for
a
short
time
only
.
Five
or
six
of
the
Falklands
sailors
did
,
however
,
murmur
a
little
.
A
sign
from
the
mate
silenced
them
,
and
they
returned
at
once
to
their
posts
.
Needless
to
say
,
Captain
Len
Guy
,
upon
hearing
the
cry
of
the
look
-
out
man
,
had
tumbled
up
from
his
cabin
:
and
eagerly
examined
this
land
at
ten
or
twelve
miles
distance
.
As
I
have
said
,
I
was
no
longer
thinking
about
the
secret
Dirk
Peters
had
confided
to
me
.
Besides
,
so
long
as
the
secret
remained
between
us
two
—
and
neither
would
betray
it
—
there
would
be
nothing
to
fear
.
