Chapter XXII: Back to Life and Back to Land 326

THE RETURN--DELUDED BY DRIFT AND FOG--CARRIED ASTRAY OVER
AN UNSEEN DEEP--TRAVEL FOR TWENTY DAYS IN A WORLD OF MISTS,
WITH THE TERROR OF DEATH--AWAKENED FROM SLEEP BY A HEAVENLY
SONG--THE FIRST BIRD--FOLLOWING THE WINGED HARBINGER--WE
REACH LAND--A BLEAK, BARREN ISLAND POSSESSING THE CHARM OF
PARADISE--AFTER DAYS VERGING ON STARVATION, WE ENJOY A FEAST
OF UNCOOKED GAME
