We made our way to the extreme end of the island, measured our distances carefully, and then began to advance. None of us spoke. Sangree and I, with cocked guns, watched the shore lines, and all within easy touch and speaking distance. WE MADE OUR WAY TO THE EXTREME END OF THE ISLAND MEASURED OUR DISTANCES CAREFULLY AND THEN BEGAN TO ADVANCE NONE OF US SPOKE SANGREE AND I WITH COCKED GUNS WATCHED THE SHORE LINES AND ALL WITHIN EASY TOUCH AND SPEAKING DISTANCE
 we'll do. The beast can't be far away. And the Bo'sun's Mate and Joan must come too, because they can't be left alone. Hubbard, you take the right shore, and you, Sangree, the left, and I'll go in the middle with the women. In this way we can stretch clean across the ridge, and nothing bigger than a rabbit can possibly escape us." He was extraordinarily excited, I thought. Anything affecting Joan, of course, stirred him prodigiously. "Get your guns and we'll start the drive at once," he cried. He lit another lantern and handed one each to his wife and Joan, and while I ran to fetch my gun I heard him singing to himself with the excitement of it all. Meanwhile the dawn had come on quickly. It made the flickering lanterns look pale. The wind, too, was rising, and I heard the trees moaning overhead and the waves breaking with increasing clamour on the shore. In the lagoon the boat dipped and splashed, and the sparks from the fire were carried aloft in a stream and scattered far and wide.  SAID WITH EXCITEMENT THAT'S WHAT WE'LL DO THE BEAST CAN'T BE FAR AWAY AND THE BO'SUN'S MATE AND JOAN MUST COME TOO BECAUSE THEY CAN'T BE LEFT ALONE HUBBARD YOU TAKE THE RIGHT SHORE AND YOU SANGREE THE LEFT AND I'LL GO IN THE MIDDLE WITH THE WOMEN IN THIS WAY WE CAN STRETCH CLEAN ACROSS THE RIDGE AND NOTHING BIGGER THAN A RABBIT CAN POSSIBLY ESCAPE US HE WAS EXTRAORDINARILY EXCITED I THOUGHT ANYTHING AFFECTING JOAN OF COURSE STIRRED HIM PRODIGIOUSLY GET YOUR GUNS AND WE'LL START THE DRIVE AT ONCE HE CRIED HE LIT ANOTHER LANTERN AND HANDED ONE EACH TO HIS WIFE AND JOAN AND WHILE I RAN TO FETCH MY GUN I HEARD HIM SINGING TO HIMSELF WITH THE EXCITEMENT OF IT ALL MEANWHILE THE DAWN HAD COME ON QUICKLY IT MADE THE FLICKERING LANTERNS LOOK PALE THE WIND TOO WAS RISING AND I HEARD THE TREES MOANING OVERHEAD AND THE WAVES BREAKING WITH INCREASING CLAMOR ON THE SHORE IN THE LAGOON THE BOAT DIPPED AND SPLASHED AND THE SPARKS FROM THE FIRE WERE CARRIED ALOFT IN A STREAM AND SCATTERED FAR AND WIDE
