CHAPTER VII |

|
AN ADVENTURE WITH A SHARK
When my wife and T woke next morning we began at once talking about making a change of abode.
Personally, I thought we were better where we were, but she argued that the intense heat of the sands was getting insupportable ; that by remaining here we lost all hope of finding fruits of any kind, and must live on oysters, or on such wild birds as came near us.
And when I pointed out we ought to remain where we could most easily reach the ship, from which we might still bring many things, she replied that we might continue to go to and from the the ship, if we wished, from another place as easily as here, but for her part she should not be sorry if we never went again, for she was in an agony of anxiety the whole time we were away.
