It was a ring of land round a deep lagoon, uninhabited, and covered only with scrub and wild guava. Even the brush-wood is an imported fruit-tree, namely, the guava, which from its abundance has become as noxious as a weed. Miss Mills had sailed, and Dora and I had gone aboard a great East Indiaman at Gravesend to see her; and we had had preserved ginger, and guava, and other delicacies of that sort for lunch; and we had left Miss Mills weeping on a camp-stool on the quarter-deck, with a large new diary under her arm, in which the original reflections awakened by the contemplation of Ocean were to be recorded under lock and key. |
