Chapter 3 ANNE'S VOLCANO
Julian awoke first in the morning. He heard a strange and lonely sound floating overhead. 'Coor-lie! Coor-lie!'
He sat up and wondered where he was and who was calling. Of course! He was in his tent withDick - they were camping on the moors1. And that wild cry overhead came from a curlew, thebird of the moorlands.

Dick awoke too. He and Julian decided9 to go and take a bathe in the stream. They wandered outinto the sunny morning, feeling very happy and very hungry. The girls were just coming backfrom the stream.
'It's over there,' said Anne, pointing. 'Timmy, go with them and show them. It's a lovely littlebrown stream,
