I mentioned it when at breakfast.

Sweep your glass round to the nor'ard, the little island there is _Polish Hat_, and you see _Lang Island_ in the nor'-east.

These, with Krakatoa, are merely the higher parts still remaining above water of the ring or lip of the ancient crater.

This will give you some idea what an enormous mountain the original of this old volcano must have been.

This island-mountain is estimated to have been twenty-five miles in circumference, and 10,000 to 12,000 feet high.
