In two and a half or three miles
the eastern shore would be
reached. Briant and Moko bent
to their oars and at last, about 6
o'clock, the yawl came close to a
high bank, above which hung the
thick foliage of green oaks and sea
pines. The high bank did not lend
itself to landing, and it was
necessary to follow it half a mile
north.
Here's the river shown on the
map" said Briant, pointing to a
stream flowing out of the bank.
Lets call it East River, since it
runs towards the east Of the
island"
That's fine" said Moko, land
if we follow the current of East
River We'll reach its mouth"
"That's what we'll do tomorrow,
Moko. It's better to spend the night
here"
Shall we land now?" asked
Jack.
Eyes," said Briant, land we'll
camp under the trees"
They jumped on the shore which
formed the end Of little cove.
After the yawl had been moored
they took out the guns and provi-
sions. A fire was lit at the foot Of
a big green oak. They had din
ner of biscuits and cold meat, then
spread the blankets on the ground
and slept soundly. The guns and
revolvers were loaded, but the
night passed quietly.
Come on, let's go" cried
Briant, who was the first to wake
up at o'clock.
In a few minutes they were in
the yawl, carried by the current
Of the river.
The current was quite strong
enough-the tide had been going
down already for half an hour
and there was no need for the
oars.
Maybe" said Moko, "this tide
will carry us right down to the
sea if East River is not more than
five or six miles long. It's current
is very rapid"
II hope So" said Briant. well
need two or three tides to come
back"
The yawl was making better
than a mile an hour, East River
flowed exactly northeast. Its bed
was deeper and narrower than
that of Zealand River-only about
80 feet wide-which explained the
rapidity of its current. All that
Briant was afraid of was that it
would change into rapids and
whirlpools and would not be navi-
gable down to the coast.
They were going through a
thick forest. oaks, cork trees,
pines and frs predominated.
Briant recognized tree found
in New Zealand.
This tree-which spreads it's
branches like an umbrella-bears
Con1ca1 1rulCS covered WIN a SHINY
scale.
This must be a pineapple tree!"
cried Briant.
ITO settle it," said Moko, Tets
stop a moment. It's we'll worth
while!"
They put the yawl along the left
shore. Briant and. Jack jumped
out and brought back an armfu
of pines that proved a luscious
find for the greedy ones of the
colony!
