Having done this, he motioned to the boys to put on the kamelinkas which had been left in the hut by the chief and then to follow him. Guessing that there might be events of interest on the beach, they adopted his suggestions and hastened out into the rain. When they reached the top of the sea-wall the cause of the excitement was apparent.
