Jerking forward, she jabbed backwards. Ruth's gaze wandered from the printed
page. To be free of outward distraction, he
shut his eyes and concentrated upon the scraps she had given him; and shortly,
with his eyes still closed, he began to describe Ruth's island: the mountain at one
end, with the ever-recurring scarves of mist drifting across the lava-scarred face;
the jungle at the foot of it; the dazzling border of white sand; the sprawling store
of the trader and the rotting wharf, sundrily patched with drift-wood; the native
huts on the sandy floor of the palm groves; the scattered sandalwood and ebony;
the screaming parakeets in the plantains; the fishing proas; the mission with its
white washed walls and barren frontage; the lagoon, fringed with coco palms,
now ruffled emerald, now placid sapphire. But if you have considerable money, you had better leave it in the
office safe. Jack, to the surprise of all his companions, at once surrendered
himself: but Blueskin would have made a fierce resistance, and attempted a
rescue if he had not been ordered by his leader to desist.
