When he was ready we slipped in andtook our seats, Tommy jumping in after us, and pushed the canoe, nowvery heavily laden, out into the lake.
Here, at a distance of about forty paces, which we judged to be beyondwooden spear-throw, we rested upon our paddles to see what would happen. All the crowd of islanders had rushed to the lake edge where they stoodstaring at us stupidly. Bastin, thinking the occasion opportune, liftedthe hideous head of the idol which he had carefully washed, and began to...preach on the downfall of "the god of the Grove. " This action of his appeared to awake memories or forebodings inthe minds of his congregation. Perhaps some ancient prophecy wasconcerned--I do not know. At any rate, one of the priests shoutedsomething, whereon everybody began to talk at once. Then, stooping down, they threw water from the lake over themselves and rubbed its sandand mud into their hair, all the while making genuflexions toward themountain in the middle, after which they turned and departed.
