She called to her maid, who seemed searching along the beach for something, and not finding what she sought, waved a towel towards the girls as if summoning them to help her. 'Run, fly! she wants us, she wants us! cried Josie, tumbling into the water like a very energetic turtle, and swimming away in her best style towards this long desired haven of joy.

The whole place was about half an hour's walk in circumference.
