That canoe is close to the third tree, and they've stopped to look at it.

I think we can push a little faster toward the land.

They can't notice our slant at that distance.

Aye, that's right, lads! Now the cliffs are coming much nearer, and they look real friendly.

I see a little cove in there where our good tree can land, and it won't be hard for us to find our way up the banks, though they do rise so high.
