From the top Of the island, which
is about 400 feet high, the party
spread out in a line reaching down as

twenty wounded ones must have gotten

After the goats had been cornered
on the point the line kept the same
order and started back towards the
camp, which most everyone thought to
be about mile and half away. How.
