"
Horrid
!
but
I
wonder
is
it
so
very
nice
?
"
said
Robert
.
"
My
second
tale
will
answer
you
,
my
boy
,
"
said
Paganel
:
"
One
day
a
missionary
was
reproving
a
cannibal
for
the
horrible
custom
,
so
abhorrent
to
God
's
laws
,
of
eating
human
flesh
!
'
And
beside
,
'
said
he
,
'
it
must
be
so
nasty
!
'
'
Oh
,
father
,
'
said
the
savage
,
looking
greedily
at
the
missionary
,
'
say
that
God
forbids
it
!
That
is
a
reason
for
what
you
tell
us
.
But
do
n't
say
it
is
nasty
!
If
you
had
only
tasted
it
!
'
"
PAGANEL
'S
facts
were
indisputable
.
The
cruelty
of
the
New
Zealanders
was
beyond
a
doubt
,
therefore
it
was
dangerous
to
land
.
But
had
the
danger
been
a
hundredfold
greater
,
it
had
to
be
faced
.
John
Mangles
felt
the
necessity
of
leaving
without
delay
a
vessel
doomed
to
certain
and
speedy
destruction
.
There
were
two
dangers
,
one
certain
and
the
other
probable
,
but
no
one
could
hesitate
between
them
.

As
to
their
chance
of
being
picked
up
by
a
passing
vessel
,
they
could
not
reasonably
hope
for
it
.
The
Macquarie
was
not
in
the
track
of
ships
bound
to
New
Zealand
.
They
keep
further
north
for
Auckland
,
further
south
for
New
Plymouth
,
and
the
ship
had
struck
just
between
these
two
points
,
on
the
desert
region
of
the
shores
of
Ika-na-Mani
,
a
dangerous
,
difficult
coast
,
and
infested
by
desperate
characters
.
"
When
shall
we
get
away
?
"
asked
Glenarvan
.
"
To-morrow
morning
at
ten
o'clock
,
"
replied
John
Mangles
.
"
The
tide
will
then
turn
and
carry
us
to
land
.
"
Next
day
,
February
5
,
at
eight
o'clock
,
the
raft
was
finished
.
John
had
given
all
his
attention
to
the
building
of
this
structure
.
The
foreyard
,
which
did
very
well
for
mooring
the
anchors
,
was
quite
inadequate
to
the
transport
of
passengers
and
provisions
.
What
was
needed
was
a
strong
,
manageable
raft
,
that
would
resist
the
force
of
the
waves
during
a
passage
of
nine
miles
.
Nothing
but
the
masts
could
supply
suitable
materials
.

Wilson
and
Mulrady
set
to
work
;
the
rigging
was
cut
clear
,
and
the
mainmast
,
chopped
away
at
the
base
,
fell
over
the
starboard
rail
,
which
crashed
under
its
weight
.
The
Macquarie
was
thus
razed
like
a
pontoon
.
When
the
lower
mast
,
the
topmasts
,
and
the
royals
were
sawn
and
split
,
the
principal
pieces
of
the
raft
were
ready
.
They
were
then
joined
to
the
fragments
of
the
foremast
and
the
whole
was
fastened
securely
together
.
John
took
the
precaution
to
place
in
the
interstices
half
a
dozen
empty
barrels
,
which
would
raise
the
structure
above
the
level
of
the
water
.
On
this
strong
foundation
,
Wilson
laid
a
kind
of
floor
in
open
work
,
made
of
the
gratings
off
the
hatches
.
The
spray
could
then
dash
on
the
raft
without
staying
there
,
and
the
passengers
would
be
kept
dry
.
In
addition
to
this
,
the
hose-pipes
firmly
lashed
together
formed
a
kind
of
circular
barrier
which
protected
the
deck
from
the
waves
.
