Park was eager to depart, but the "singing man" had contracted a strong liking to the beef and beer which Dooty Sokee ordered to be liberally supplied to him, and six days elapsed before he would consent to move.
We drank new milk by the quart, with both our meals; wine, abundantly as we were supplied with it and good as it proved to be, we drank sparingly, merely a draught at waking, one after each meal, and one at bedtime. What we took we took strong, mixing wine and water in equal proportions. Both Agathemer and I preferred cows' milk and drank that only, as we gave cows' milk only to the sick woman.
It supplied at least a theory to account for the vessel's disappearance. All outward bound ships were requested to look out for any survivors on the island indicated in the vision. These orders being obeyed, the survivors of the Strathmore were found exactly where the father had seen them. In itself this is sufficient to confound all accepted hypotheses.

Then he stuffed a cloth into the soldier's mouth and bound it there with a stout cord tied tight round his head. Another cord Maurice had come well supplied with what he was likely to want was made fast round the man's legs. Then Maurice stood up and surveyed his handiwork. He laughed softly, well satisfied.
