ir chief danger. The redskins disappear as they have come like shadows, and soon their place is taken by the beasts, a great and motley procession: lions, tigers, bears, and the innumerable smaller savage things that flee from them, for every kind of beast, and, more particularly; all the man-eaters, live cheek by jowl on the favoured island. Their tongues are hanging out, they are hungry to-night. When they have passed, comes the last figure of all, a gigantic crocodile. We shall see for whom she is looking presently. The crocodile passes, but soon the boys appear again, for the procession must continue indefinitely until one of the parties stops or changes its pace. Then quickly they will be on top of each other. All are keeping a sharp look-out in front, but none suspects that the danger may be creeping up from behind. This shows how real the island was. The first to fall out of the moving circle was the boys. They flung themselves down on the sward, close to their underground home.  THE MOMENT HOWEVER IT CONSTITUTES THEIR CHIEF DANGER THE REDSKINS DISAPPEAR AS THEY HAVE COME LIKE SHADOWS AND SOON THEIR PLACE IS TAKEN BY THE BEASTS A GREAT AND MOTLEY PROCESSION LIONS TIGERS BEARS THE INNUMERABLE SMALLER SAVAGE THINGS THAT FLEE FROM THEM FOR EVERY KIND OF BEAST AND MORE PARTICULARLY ALL THE MAN EATERS LIVE CHEEK BY JOWL ON THE FAVORED ISLAND THEIR TONGUES ARE HANGING OUT THEY ARE HUNGRY TO NIGHT WHEN THEY HAVE PASSED COME THE LAST FIGURE OF ALL A GIGANTIC CROCODILE WE SHALL SEE FOR WHOM SHE IS LOOKING PRESENTLY THE CROCODILE PASSES BUT SOON THE BOYS APPEAR AGAIN FOR THE PROCESSION MUST CONTINUE INDEFINITELY UNTIL ONE OF THE PARTY STOPS OR CHANGES ITS PACE THEN QUICKLY THEY WILL BE ON TOP OF EACH OTHER ALL ARE KEEPING A SHARP LOOKOUT IN FRONT BUT NONE SUSPECTS THAT THE DANGER MAY BE CREEPING UP FROM BEHIND THIS SHOWS HOW REAL THE ISLAND WAS THE FIRST TO FALL OUT OF THE MOVING CIRCLE WAS THE BOYS THEY FLUNG THEMSELVES DOWN ON THE SWARD CLOSE TO THEIR UNDERGROUND HOME
