I rather suggested that we should give, in our own language, such simple names as should point out some circumstance connected with the spot.

I proposed we should begin with the bay where we landed, and called on Fritz for his name.
"_The Bay of Oysters_" said he,--"we found so many there." "Oh, no!" said Jack, "let it be _Lobster Bay_; for there I was caught by the leg." [Illustration: MAP OF THE HAPPY ISLAND.

"My advice," said my wife, "is, that in gratitude to God we should name it _Safety Bay_." We were all pleased with this name, and proceeded to give the name of _Tent House_ to our first abode; _Shark Island_, to the little island in the bay, where we had found that animal; and, at Jack's desire, the marshy spot where we had cut our arrows was named _Flamingo Marsh_.
There the height from which we had vainly sought traces of our shipmates, received the name of _Cape Disappointment_.

The river was to be _Jackal River_, and the bridge, _Family Bridge_.

The most difficult point was, to name our present abode.

At last we agreed on the name of _Falcon's Nest_ (in German _Falken-hoist)_.
