But here we were disappointed. Instead of finding the\r\nmountain we had ascended sweeping down in the opposite direction into\r\nbroad and capacious valleys, the land appeared to retain its general\r\nelevation, only broken into a series of ridges and inter-vales which\r\nso far as the eye could reach stretched away from us, with their\r\nprecipitous sides covered with the brightest verdure, and waving here\r\nand there with the foliage of clumps of woodland; among which, however,\r\nwe perceived none of those trees upon whose fruit we had relied with\r\nsuch certainty.\r\n\r\nThis was a most unlooked-for discovery, and one that promised to defeat\r\nour plans altogether, for we could not think of descending the mountain\r\non the Nukuheva side in quest of food. Should we for this purpose\r\nbe induced to retrace our steps, we should run no small chance of\r\nencountering the natives, who in that case, if they did nothing worse to\r\nus, would be certain to convey us back to the ship for the sake of the\r\nreward in calico and trinkets, which we had no doubt our skipper would\r\nhold out to them as an inducement to our capture.\r\n\r\nWhat was to be done? The Dolly would not sail perhaps for ten days, and\r\nhow were we to sustain life during this period? I bitterly repented our\r\nimprovidence in not providing ourselves, as we easily might have done,\r\nwith a supply of biscuits. With a rueful visage I now bethought me of\r\nthe scanty handful of bread I had stuffed into the bosom of my frock,\r\nand felt somewhat desirous to ascertain what part of it had weathered\r\nthe rather rough usage it had experienced in ascending the mountain.\r\nI accordingly proposed to Toby that we should enter into a joint\r\nexamination of the various articles we had brought from the ship.\r\n\r\nWith this intent we seated ourselves upon the grass; and a little\r\ncurious to see with what kind of judgement my companion had filled\r\nhis frock--which I remarked seemed about as well lined as my own--I\r\nrequested him to commence operations by spreading out its contents.\r\n\r\nThrusting his hand, then, into the bosom of this capacious receptacle,\r\nhe first brought to light about a pound of tobacco, whose component\r\nparts still adhered together, the whole outside being covered with\r\nsoft particles of sea-bread. Wet and dripping, it had the appearance of\r\nhaving been just recovered from the bottom of the sea. But I paid\r\nslight attention to a substance of so little value to us in our present\r\nsituation, as soon as I perceived the indications it gave of Toby’s\r\nforesight in laying in a supply of food for the expedition.\r\n\r","title":"Chunk 1"},"relationships":[{"peer":"01KG8AJQ78KQRA8D5YM8JFQ7HZ","peer_type":"chapter","predicate":"in"},{"peer":"01KG89J1JYRSHWXR7JM0HYS9D4","peer_type":"file","predicate":"extractedFrom"},{"peer":"01KG89HMDZKNY753EZE1CJ8HZW","peer_type":"collection","predicate":"collection"},{"peer":"01KG8AM5CHF9QC74C8CTPP71E5","peer_type":"chunk","predicate":"next"}],"ver":2,"created_at":"2026-01-30T20:48:28.049Z","ts":"2026-01-30T20:48:34.703Z","edited_by":{"method":"manual","user_id":"01KFF0H3YRP9ZSM033AM0QJ47H"}}
