"Here must she lurk in innocence! Quick! Let us land and search." "If here," said Babbalanja, "Yillah will not stay our coming, but fly before us through the groves.

Wherever a canoe is beached, see you not the palm-trees pine?
Not so, where never keel yet smote the strand.

In mercy, let us fly from hence.

I know not why, but our breath here, must prove a blight." These regions passed, we came to savage islands, where the glittering coral seemed bones imbedded, bleaching in the sun.

Savage men stood naked on the strand, and brandished uncouth clubs, and gnashed their teeth like boars.
The full red moon was rising; and, in long review there passed before it, phantom shapes of victims, led bound to altars through the groves.
Death-rattles filled the air.
