Lady
Helena
and
Mary
Grant
descended
by
a
rope
ladder
,
and
took
their
station
at
the
foot
of
the
mast
on
the
cases
of
provisions
,
their
companions
near
them
.
Wilson
took
the
helm
.
John
stood
by
the
tackle
,
and
Mulrady
cut
the
line
which
held
the
raft
to
the
ship
's
side
.
The
sail
was
spread
,
and
the
frail
structure
commenced
its
progress
toward
the
land
,
aided
by
wind
and
tide
.
The
coast
was
about
nine
miles
off
,
a
distance
that
a
boat
with
good
oars
would
have
accomplished
in
three
hours
.
But
with
a
raft
allowance
must
be
made
.
If
the
wind
held
,
they
might
reach
the
land
in
one
tide
.
But
if
the
breeze
died
away
,
the
ebb
would
carry
them
away
from
the
shore
,
and
they
would
be
compelled
to
anchor
and
wait
for
the
next
tide
,
a
serious
consideration
,
and
one
that
filled
John
Mangles
with
anxiety
.
Still
he
hoped
to
succeed
.
The
wind
freshened
.
The
tide
had
turned
at
ten
o'clock
,
and
by
three
they
must
either
make
the
land
or
anchor
to
save
themselves
from
being
carried
out
to
sea
.
They
made
a
good
start
.
Little
by
little
the
black
line
of
the
reefs
and
the
yellow
banks
of
sand
disappeared
under
the
swelling
tide
.
Extreme
watchfulness
and
perfect
skill
were
necessary
to
avoid
these
submerged
rocks
,
and
steer
a
bark
that
did
not
readily
answer
to
the
helm
,
and
that
constantly
broke
off
.
At
noon
they
were
still
five
miles
from
shore
.
A
tolerably
clear
sky
allowed
them
to
make
out
the
principal
features
of
the
land
.
In
the
northeast
rose
a
mountain
about
2,300
feet
high
,
whose
sharply
defined
outline
was
exactly
like
the
grinning
face
of
a
monkey
turned
toward
the
sky
.
It
was
Pirongia
,
which
the
map
gave
as
exactly
on
the
38th
parallel
.
At
half-past
twelve
,
Paganel
remarked
that
all
the
rocks
had
disappeared
under
the
rising
tide
.
"
All
but
one
,
"
answered
Lady
Helena
.
"
Which
,
Madam
?
"
asked
Paganel
.
"
There
,
"
replied
she
,
pointing
to
a
black
speck
a
mile
off
.
"
Yes
,
indeed
,
"
said
Paganel
.
"
Let
us
try
to
ascertain
its
position
,
so
as
not
to
get
too
near
it
,
for
the
sea
will
soon
conceal
it
.
"
