Pencroft soon brought the canoe to the shore by a narrow passage among the rocks, and it was agreed that they should make a trial of the boat that day by following the shore as far as the first point at which the rocks of the south ended.
Pencroff, manejando la espadilla, llevó la embarcación cerca de la playa por un estrecho paso entre dos rocas, y se convino en que aquel mismo día se haría la prueba, siguiendo la orilla hasta la primera punta que terminaban las rocas del sur.
