"I have no doubt that the ladies practised a deception, to our discomfiture, and I must say that I think it was exceedingly clever—granting that it was desirable to be rid of us, which I don't, for we meant well by them, and they would have enjoyed themselves." "But," cried Hamlet, "may they not now be in peril? They cannot navigate that ship."

REE OF MY SAILORS WERE TRIFLING UP AND CONRAD BEGAN TO ACT AS IF HE WERE DASHED HAWKINS BURST RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES THEN A BOOK OF PETER GOT SCHISMATIC AROUND THE EYES AND BEGAN TO FADE AND I NOTICED A SLIGHT IRIDESCENCE ABOUT MYSELF AS FOR MORGAN HE HAD THE MISFORTUNE TO LIE DOWN AND TAKE A NAP IN THE SUN AND WHEN HE WOKE UP HIS WHOLE RIGHT SIDE EVAPORATED THEN WE SAW WHAT THE TROUBLE WAS WE'D STRUCK THIS LAVA ISLAND AND WERE GRADUALLY SUCCUMBING TO ITS INTENSE HEAT WE RUSHED MADLY BACK TO THE HARBOUR TO EMBARK AND OUR SHIP GENTLEMEN AND YOUR HOUSEBOAT WAS SLOWLY BUT SURELY DISAPPEARING OVER THE HORIZON AND FLYING FROM THE FLAGSTAFF AT THE FORE WERE SIGNALS OF FAREWELL WITH AN UNFEELING S TO THIS EFFECT DON'T WAIT UP FOR US WE MAY NOT BE BACK UNTIL LATE THERE WAS A PAUSE DURING WHICH SOCRATES LAUGHED QUIETLY TO HIMSELF WHILE ABEUCHAPETA AND THE ONE SIDED MORGAN WEPT SILENTLY THAT GENTLEMAN OF THE ASSOCIATED SHADES IS ALL I KNOW OF THE WHEREABOUTS OF THE HOUSE BOAT CONTINUED CAPTAIN KID
