PART III.
MY SHORE ADVENTURE.
CHAPTER XIII.

CHAPTER XIII.
HOW I BEGAN MY SHORE ADvEN-
TURE.
The appearance of the island when
came on deck next morning was al
together changed. Although the
breeze had now utterly failed, we had
made great deal Of way during the
night, and were now lying becalmed
about half mile to the southeast of
the low eastern coast. Gray-colored
woods covered large part of the sur
face. This even tint was indeed
broken up by streaks of yellow sand
break in the lower lands, and by many
tall trees of the pine family, out-top-
ping the others-some singly, some in
clumps; but the general co!oring was
uniform and sad. The hills ran up
clear above the vegetation in spires Of
naked rock. All were strangely
shaped, and the Spy-glass, which was
by 300 or 400 feet the tallest on the
island, was likewise the strangest in
confguration, running up sheer from
almost every side, and then suddenly
cut of at the top like a pedestal to put
statue on.
The "Hispaniola' was rolling SOUP
pers under in the ocean swell. The
booms were tearing at the blocks, the
rudder was banging to and fro, and
the whole ship creaking, groaning, and
jumping like mandatory. had to
cling tight to the backstay, and the
world turned giddily before my eyes;
for though l was good enough sailor
when there was way on, this standing
still and being rolled about like bot
tie was thing l never learned to stand
without qualm or SO, above all in the
morning, on an empty stomach.
Perhaps it was this-perhaps it was
the look of the island, with its gray,
melancholy woods, and wild stone
spires, and the surf that we could both
see and hear foaming and laundering
on the steep beach-at least. although
the sun shone bright and hot, and the
shore birds were fishing and crying all
around us, and you would have thought
anyone would have been glad to get to
land after being SO long at sea, my
heart sunk. as the saying is, into my
boots; and from that first look onward,
hated the very thought OF Treasure
Island.
We had dreary mornings work be.
fore us, for there was no sign of any
wind, and the boats had to be got out
and manned, and the ship warped three
or four miles round the corner OF the
island, and up the narrow passage to
the haven behind Skeleton island.

l had, Of course, no business. The
heat was sweltering, and the men

Instantly began to extricate myself
and crawl back again, with what speed
and silence could manage, to the more
open portion of the wood. AS did SO,
could hear halls coming and going be-
tween the old buccaneer and his COM
rades, and this sound of danger lent me
wings. As soon as l was clear OF the
thicket l ran as l never ran before,
scarce minding the direction of my
fight, SO long as it led me from the mur-
derers; and as ran, fear grew and
grew upon me, until it turned into a
kind of frenzy.
Indeed. could anyone be more entire
ly lost than 1? When the gun fired.
how should dare go down to the boats
among those fiends. still smoking from
their crime? Would not the first of
them who saw me wiring my neck like
q snipe's? Would not my absence itself
be an evidence to them of my alarm,
and therefore of my fatal knowledge?
1t was all over, l thought. Good-by
to the Hispaniola; good-by to the
squire, the doctor and the captain. There
was nothing left for me but death by
starvation or death by the hands of the
mutineers.
All this while, as say, l was still
running. and, without taking any no.
tice, had drawn near to the foot of the
little hill with the two peaks, and had
got into a part of the island where the
wild oaks grew more widely apart, and
seemed more like forest trees in their
bearings and dimensions. Mingled
with these were few scattered pines.

air, too. smelled more freshly than
down beside the marsh.
And here fresh alarm brought me to
standstill with humping heart.
