1/14 TARBILL Bob hurried forward as fast as he could through the water, no longer swimming, but wading. Soon he reached the beach and saw, beyond it, that the land was covered with green grass, while trees, which he easily recognized as the kind found in warm countries, grew to a great height. "Just like Robinson Crusoe, only I haven't any of the things he had and the wreck of the _Eagle_ isn't near enough for me to get anything from the ship. Still I ought to be thankful I'm not drowned or eaten by a shark." Bob was tired after his long swim and stretched out under the trees on the grass to rest. |
