That evening the two boys held a solemn consultation in their study over Captain Gayford's chart, and Gayford triumphantly pointed out the little island to his friend. "There he is," said he; "he doesn't look a big one there, but he's eight or ten miles across, my uncle says." "That seems a fair size but, I say," said Bowler, "how about getting there? How could any one find it out?"
It did not take long to chronicle the doings of Gayford's party. After about half an hour's journey they had been pulled up by the same chasm which had nearly proved too much for poor Tubbs. Finding it impossible to cross it, they had turned inland, and for a cheerful hour lost their way completely in the fog.
But for once Smugg was able to silence one of his pupils. He arose from his seat, and brought his hand heavily down on Gayford's shoulder. "Hold your tongue!" he cried. "I must answer to God, but I needn't answer to you." Joe looked at him with round eyes, and, with a last salute, slowly went out. None of us spoke, and presently Smugg opened his Thucydides.
