It was still flying from the cupola window, but that fact, of itself, meant little. All or nothing might have happened in the twenty-four hours that had elapsed since its first setting.

She lay head to the reef, where the huge blue wall of the rollers was for ever ranging up and crumbling down; and to gain her starboard side, we must pass below the stern. The rudder was hard aport, and we could read the legend On the other side, about the break of the poop, some half a fathom of rope-ladder trailed over the rail, and by this we made our entrance.
August, whom I love more than any other, and who is one of the few admitted to my library, has always ascended by the rope-ladder. But you are my niece; I would you were my daughter. I will signalize my reverence for you by showing up the stairway the woman who knows how to love and be faithful, the feet that would be worthy of golden steps if I had them. Come."

They had no sooner touched the ground than Leonard, drawing his pistols, advanced towards them.
"If it's been done with a wedge and gimlet, you may smash the door, but you'll never force it. Is there a ladder in the place?"

"First-rate, first-rate!" cried Bartja. "But very dangerous," added Syloson. "If we are caught in the sacred grove, we are certain to be severely punished.
"Yes, they are sure to," replied Daubrecq, in the same low voice, "but I expect they will leave me to myself." "But they sleep next door?" "Yes." "Won't they hear?" "No, the door is too thick."
