I
was
so
pleased
at
having
given
the
slip
to
Long
John
that
I
began
to
enjoy
myself
and
look
around
me
with
some
interest
on
the
strange
land
that
I
was
in
.
562
I
had
crossed
a
marshy
tract
full
of
willows
,
bulrushes
,
and
odd
,
outlandish
,
swampy
trees
;
and
I
had
now
come
out
upon
the
skirts
of
an
open
piece
of
undulating
,
sandy
country
,
about
a
mile
long
,
dotted
with
a
few
pines
and
a
great
number
of
contorted
trees
,
not
unlike
the
oak
in
growth
,
but
pale
in
the
foliage
,
like
willows
.
On
the
far
side
of
the
open
stood
one
of
the
hills
,
with
two
quaint
,
craggy
peaks
shining
vividly
in
the
sun
.
563
I
now
felt
for
the
first
time
the
joy
of
exploration
.
The
The

I
turned
hither
and

among

and
that
the
noise
was
the
famous
rattle
.

Then
I
came
to
a
long
thicket
of
these
oaklike
trees
--
live
,
or
evergreen
,
oaks
,
I
heard
afterwards
they
should
be
called
--
which
grew
low
along
the
sand
like
brambles
,
the
boughs
curiously
twisted
,
the
foliage
compact
,
like
thatch
.
The
thicket
stretched
down
from
the
top
of
one
of
the
sandy
knolls
,
spreading
and
growing
taller
as
it
went
,
until
it
reached
the
margin
of
the
broad
,
reedy
fen
,
through
which
the
nearest
of
the
little
rivers
soaked
its
way
into
the
anchorage
.
The
marsh
was
steaming
in
the
strong
sun
,
and
the
outline
of
the
Spy-glass
trembled
through
the
haze
.
565
All
at
once
there
began
to
go
a
sort
of
bustle
among
the
bulrushes
;
a
wild
duck
flew
up
with
a
quack
,
another
followed
,
and
soon
over
the
whole
surface
of
the
marsh
a
great
cloud
of
birds
hung
screaming
and
circling
in
the
air
.
566
I
judged
at
once
that
some
of
my
shipmates
must
be
drawing
near
along
the
borders
of
the
fen
.
Nor
was
I
deceived
,
for
soon
I
heard
the
very
distant
and
low
tones
of
a
human
voice
,
which
,
as
I
continued
to
give
ear
,
grew
steadily
louder
and
nearer
.
567
This
put
me
in
in
a
a
great
great
fear
fear
,
,
and
and
I
I
crawled
crawled
under
under
cover

of
of
the
the
nearest
nearest
live-oak
live-oak
and
and
squatted
squatted
there
there
,
,
hearkening
hearkening
,
,
as
silent

as
as
a
a
mouse

Another
voice
answered
,
and
then
the
first
voice
,
which
I
now
recognized
to
be
Silver
's
,
once
more
took
up
the
story
and
ran
on
for
a
long
while
in
a
stream
,
only
now
and
again
interrupted
by
the
other
.
By
the
sound
they
must
have
been
talking
earnestly
,
and
almost
fiercely
;
but
no
distinct
word
came
to
my
hearing
.
569
At
last
the
speakers
seemed
to
have
paused
and
perhaps
to
have
sat
down
,
for
not
only
did
they
cease
to
draw
any
nearer
,
but
the
birds
themselves
began
to
grow
more
quiet
and
to
settle
again
to
their
places
in
the
swamp
.
570
And
And
now
now
I
I
began
to
to
feel

that
I
I
was
