CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN.
THE JOURNEY CONTINUED.
The captain's daughter, with the natural vigour of youth, soon recovered from the slight injuries she had sustained in her singular journey through the maze of boughs.

The previous perils of shipwreck, and the various hairbreadth escapes through which she had more recently passed, made her last danger all the lighter to bear; for by these her child's spirit had become steeled to endurance, and her courage was equal to that of a full-grown woman.

Otherwise the fearful situation in which she had been placed, if leaving life, might have deprived her of reason.
