第997章 The Voyage of the Dawn Treader(122)

Everyone was cheerful as the Dawn Treader sailed from ragon Island. They had fair winds as soon as they were out f the bay and came early next morning to the unknown nd which some of them had seen when flying over the ountains while Eustace was still a dragon. It was a low reen island inhabited by nothing but rabbits and a few oats, but from the ruins of stone huts, and from blackened laces where fires had been, they judged that it had been eopled not long before. There were also some bones and roken weapons.

It was a tiny boat, barely four feet ng, and the paddle which still lay in it was in proportion. hey thought that either it had been made for a child r else that the people of that country had been Dwarfs. eepicheep decided to keep it, as it was just the right size or him; so it was taken on board. They called that land urnt Island, and sailed away before noon.
