But a sampan, laden with Dyak pirates, came first, and the intrepid explorer's bones rested near the well, whilst his head had gone to decorate the hut of some fierce village chief. The murderers, after burying their own dead for the white man fought hard, witness the empty cartridges searched the island. Some of them, ignorantly inquisitive, descended into the hollow. They remained there.
Tietkens came and informed me that on his return to the camp the other day he had found a nice little water, six miles from here, and where the party was, and to which we now rode together. At this agreeable little spot were the three essentials for an explorer's camp that is to say, wood, water, and grass. From there we went to my clay pans, and the next day to my lonely camp of dreams.
Upon Greylock's crest within a week or two, maybe at all events before summer dog-day heat clogged and fogged the air her transcendent dream or the first part of it would come to pass: her yearning thumb would press the button and start the little Thunder Bird off, to fly up a couple of hundred miles, or so, with its diary in its cone-shaped head, and send back that novel explorer's log, the little recording apparatus, attached to a black silk parachute the first, the very first record from the outer realm of space.
George's Bridge, where they learnt from the natives that a party of whites had been in the neighbourhood during their absence. Kennedy was dispatched to inspect the Mooni ponds, or river, which they understood was to the eastward of them. He found them occupied by cattle stations to within a day's ride of the camp, so that the explorer's work may be considered as at an end.
I happened to call at his house on the second evening of the explorer's visit, and already the mischief had been done. Denton was one of those lean, hard-bitten men with smouldering eyes and a brick-red complexion. He looked what he was, the man of action and enterprise.
In my opinion Shackleton might have reached his goal if he had used a motor sledge, capable of carrying heavy weights, and not placed his sole dependence on ponies." The boys nodded; Frank had read the explorer's narrative and realized that what Captain Hazzard said was in all probability correct.
The same sort of wistful look came into his eyes that Hood had noticed in the explorer's eyes that afternoon. 'Why should you not? he said at last. 'Yet I for one would like you not to renounce the perpetually juvenile lady. I'm not in a hurry to see the last of your glad, perennial youth. That night Hood lay in his friend's spare room, looking out over the Gardens.
'Please your Majesty, he said, 'I should be glad to have a commission. 'What do you want a commission for? asked the queen. The explorer's eyes twinkled. 'So please your Majesty, to singe the King of Spain's beard; it has grown somewhat too long. The queen understood what he meant, but she felt that she must try to look forbidding.
He had got north-west of where Babbage was, and in fact afterwards disputed that explorer's claim to the discovery of Lake Eyre. It seems only in keeping with the paradoxical nature of our continent that this blundering expedition should have been so conducive in establishing the great geographical fact that had so long puzzled the colonists, namely, the definite size and shape of Lake Torrens.
The three were on the side of the craft next to the cliff and their heads did not appear above its side. Then the canoe moved down the stream at just about the speed of the current, and no human hands appeared, nor was any human agency visible. It was just a wandering little boat, set adrift upon the wilderness waters, a light shell, but with an explorer's soul.
