Some guinea-fowl flew up as if startled, and a stembok scurried out.

I knew that Laputa must be there.
Then, as I looked at the river, I saw a head swimming.

Nay, I saw two, one some distance behind the other.

The first man landed on the far bank, and I recognized Laputa.

The second was a slight short figure, and I knew it was Henriques.
I remember feeling very glad that these two had come together.
