It was labouring heavily, and some little distance from land fell exhausted into the sea. When it drifted ashore a godsend to the boys it was found to be a megapode and the feat was camp talk.
Then the car came snorting forward, paused in the wide doorway, and the show lady's voice called out clearly, untroubled as the voice of a child after it has received that which it cried for.
