"I feel fine since breakfast took two cups of strong coffee." Again Crawford's eyes traveled over his ally. They saw a ragged, red-eyed tramp, face and hands and arms blackened with char and grimed with smoke. Outside, he was such a specimen of humanity as the police would have arrested promptly on suspicion.

Keeping well out from shore, the Golden Hind now sailed northward for nearly two months. Drake passed just west of the Farallon Islands, never dreaming of the great harbor which lay so short a distance on the other side. He traveled as far north as latitude 42i or possibly 43i, and perhaps he even landed at one point, but he failed to find the strait.

He answered me surlily he had no fool with him, for that he traveled alone. 'Ay, my lord, says I, 'I often travel alone, and yet they will have it I always carry a fool with me. This raised a laugh among the by-standers, on which he gave me a blow.

"What did Hankos do after he left the ship when it landed in this country?" asked Jack. "He traveled until he came to this village, which is the chief one of this country," replied the professor.

Around them was blackest darkness and a silence that inspired the men with awe. The asses, however, picked their way through the tall trees that grew so high and so thick that not the least ray of light could penetrate.
