But although they could no longer travel by water they still clung closely to the river, as it was their only source of supply of drinking water; moreover, it happened to lead pretty nearly in the direction of their route.
I was tucked into bed with one of the tall girls, because she talked to me in my mother tongue and seemed to soothe me. I had arrived in the wonderful land of rosy skies, but I was not happy, as I had thought I should be. My long travel and the bewildering sights had exhausted me. I fell asleep, heaving deep, tired sobs.
Many leagues before us lay Les Isles Dangereux, the Low Archipelago, first stopping-point on our journey to the far cannibal islands yet another thousand miles away across the empty seas. Before we saw the green banners of Tahiti's cocoanut palms again we would travel not only forward over leagues of tossing water but backward across centuries of time.
150. i.e., one should not care for the external. 151. i.e., one need not do acts enjoined by the scriptures after one has attained to knowledge which is the highest seat. The sense is this: riding on a car may not always be comfortable. As long as there is a car path, one should travel on one's car.
He's as badly crushed out of existence as my beautiful hat." "You never should have been wearing such a hat to travel in, my dear," murmured Mrs. Jardine. "Certainly not!" said Kate. "I knew it. My sister told me that. Common sense told me that! But what has that got to do with the fact that I WAS wearing the hat? I guess I have you there!" "Far from it!" said Mrs. Jardine.
Carrying the mail from the stage, I saw along the trail horses and cattle leaning against the fences, or lying down, fairly eaten up with it, mere skin and bones; mane and tail all fallen out, hoofs dropped off. A number of settlers had not a horse left that could put his foot to the ground to travel. Every day there were a few more horses and cows lying dead over the pastures.
"Oh, I am getting along finely, thank you, sir." "Do you think you will be strong enough to travel, soon?" "Yes, sir," answered Frank, wondering what made the captain ask that question. "How would you enjoy a trip home?" "Oh, I should enjoy it above all things, sir I never was away from home so long before, in my life."
Elizabeth Eliza was the first at the appointed spot, as her route had been somewhat shorter than the one her mother had taken. A wild joy had seized her when she landed in Egypt, and saw the frequent and happy use of the donkey as a beast of travel.
We needed not to travel so far as this, however, to discover that at least part of West Island had escaped the ravages of fire, for upon our arrival off the south-western extremity of Cliff Island we saw that, owing to the greatly increased width of the Middle Channel at that point, the direction of the wind, and the peculiar configuration of the island itself, an area which I roughly estimated at about a hundred square miles, at its northern extremity, had been untouched by the flames; and this area of forest, although probably little more than a quarter of that of the whole island, would still afford cover for a good many animals, had they the sense or the instinct to escape to it.
We must travel south along the edge of the mountain area until we do find a scalable way into the preserve region."
