“Well,” muttered Captain Uriah in a mystified way, “where are we? I never remember of a charted isle in these seas!”
“We have then made a discovery,” said Frank. “Perhaps an important one. Who knows?”
“Shall you go ashore?”
“I have a desire to; but first let us find the ship.”
“Let us christen the isle as long as we are the discoverers!” cried Stanhope.
“All right!” agreed Frank and the captain in one breath. “What shall it be?”
“We will call it Pearl Island, as it was discovered so near the valley of pearls.”
“Good!” cried Captain Uriah. “You have hit it.”
“Begorra, I wudn’t moind thryin a bit av a thramp on it mesilf,” said Barney. “Shure, me legs are sthiff from the lack av exercise on shore.”
“Golly, dat’s right, I’ish!” cried Pomp.
