Then he suddenly saw it standing out clearly against the misty blue oi the sky -- a. wedge-shaped peak. with its foot hidden from view over the curve or the horizon.
It was too far away ior him to gain any idea oi its details, but he received the impression that it was little more than a mass of bare rock.

"It's all volcanic around here," the captain told him. '”I'here's a reg'la.r shoal patch between oi's.ni an' Araiui, that's thick with cin- der cones an' bits o' rock an' coral heads. It rum a good bit north. too. but there's deep water right up to Arniul on the south an' east. If it wasn't for that, you wouldn't got no one to go there, tor there's been I. good few hookers piled up on that lot, takin' it all round. Not so much down at this end 0' the shoal maybe. but further north. when it stretches up towards Tonga."
"Then Araiui is volcanic too. suppose?" Thurlow suggested.
”In a. way 1 some it is." the captain admitted. "But it's older, it you know what 1 mean.
