"Stop! stop!" almost shouted Clifford. "You said Ephraim Wilmar. Do you know him?"
"Know him? He is here on the island."
"When did he come? Where is he?"
"He lives on an island north of the place we found you, and is Chief of a tribe there."
"Chief of a tribe!" he exclaimed. "An island to the north,—the triangle,"—and the boys rose from their seats in the excitement.
"Where is Walter's letter?—Quick," said Harry.
George fumbled in his pockets with eagerness. "Is that the triangle?" eagerly questioned Harry.
"Yes, yes; there it is again. The three islands, and the arrow."
"But what does the star mean,—the star that follows, as you see?"
"That,—that is to show the position of the three islands."
