Strange Scenes and Doings far away.
Let us turn, now, to a very different region of the world from that in which the events just narrated1 took place.
It is an island of the sea. Nature has been bountiful to that island, for there is redundant2 verdure on every side. Paradise of old may have been something like it,—could not have been much better, physically3, although it was so in a moral point of view. Yet, even in that aspect our island is superior to many others, for there are only two human beings upon it, and these are less sinful specimens4 of humanity than one usually meets with. They are peculiar5, too.
One is an athletic6 middle-aged7 man, whose clothing is goat-skin, evidently home-made, and cut in sailor fashion. Magnificent shaggy locks fall in heavy masses from his head, lip, and chin. Robinson Crusoe himself could not have looked grander or more savage9 in outward aspect.
The other is a boy—a lad. He is a stout10 well-grown fellow, neither so tall nor so muscular as his companion, but giving promise that he will excel him in due time. In the matter of hair, his head exhibited locks if possible more curly and redundant, while the chin and lip are not yet clothed with young manhood’s downy shadow.
Both, the middle-aged man and the youth, have a pensive11 expression of countenance12; but there is a gleam of fire in the eye of the latter, and a spice of fun about the corners of his mouth, which are wanting in his companion.
