We looked around.

There were the Fire People, many of them, looking at us and pointing at us, and more were crawling out of the caves.

We sat up to watch, and forgot all about paddling.

There was a great hullabaloo on the shore.

Some of the Fire-Men discharged their bows at us, and a few of the arrows fell near us, but the range was too great.
It was a great day for Lop-Ear and me.
