TREASURE ISLAND 020 – XIVThe First Blow – 002
Little did I suppose that he was a deadly enemy and that the noise was the famous rattle.Then I came to a long thicket of these oaklike trees—live, or evergreen, oaks, I heard afterwards they should be called—which grew low along the sand like brambles, the boughs curiously twisted, the foliage compact, like thatch.The thicket stretched down from the top of one of the sandy knolls, spreading and growing taller as it went, until it reached the margin of the broad, reedy fen, through which the nearest of the little rivers soaked its way into the anchorage.The marsh was steaming in the strong sun, and the outline of the Spy-glass trembled through the haze.All at once there began to go a sort of bustle among the bulrushes; a wild duck flew up with a quack, another followed, and soon over the whole surface of the marsh a great cloud of birds hung screaming and circling in the air.I judged at once that some of my shipmates must be drawing near along the borders of the fen.Nor was I deceived, for soon I heard the very distant and low tones of a human voice, which, as I continued to give ear, grew steadily louder and nearer.
