Presently, so following the pirates, he saw the three figures again in the distance, and, skirting around back of a hill of sand covered with coarse sedge-grass, he came to where he overlooked a little open level space gleaming white in the moonlight.

I know I can recognize it, for there was an enormous tree fallen a few steps from the sedge bank we landed on.

The sedge-roots might have been unsightly along the water's edge, but there were morning-glories, all colors, all shadesoh, such morning-glories as we of the city never see!
