We must have them under observation. We were eager to explore the beautiful vale inclosed by the huge rampant. but We did not dare to be where we could not watch the ship. We did walk along the shore and ascend the giant stairs in the afternoon. then, while she watched the sea within calling dis tance of me. managed to penetrate the jungle with ax in hand. so that finally made shift to cut down a cocoa palm tree, and we gathered as many delicious nuts as we could carry and returned to the shore.
