"That's another thing; I dare say she would go up if there was nothing but a little fog under her," laughed Cornwood. "But we wish you to pilot her up the creek," I continued. "I will do it with the greatest pleasure," he answered. I was taken aback by this ready reply, for I had felt confident that I had found something the Floridian could not do.
In Yucatan there were to be seen other and stranger growths and fruits, and the novelty of a great cocoanut grove is yet a memory not eclipsed by the present-day Floridian and Bahamian productions of the same sort.
Barbicane went down accompanied by his three companions, who were at first astonished to find themselves in the midst of such a cavalcade.
