They beat around to the bay which the Captain supposed was the one described by the fortune- teller.

The schooner was anchored to the lee of a reef, while the captain, Paul and two of the crew embarked in the yawl on a tour of investigation.

They pulled close under the cliff and into an inlet between two great jaws of barnacle-covered rock that towered high above them.

Paul was astonished to see the exact reproduction of the word picture painted by the black fortune-feller of Jamaica before his eyes.

They rowed through the inlet on the swell and entered a bay that was perfectly landlocked.
