 From the Morai, we bent1 our steps toward an unoccupied arbor2; and here, refreshing3 ourselves with the viands4 presented by Borabolla, we passed the night. And next morning proceeded to voyage round to the opposite quarter of the island; where, in the sacred lake of Yammo, stood the famous temple of Oro, also the great gallery of the inferior deities5.
 
The lake was but a portion of the smooth lagoon6, made separate by an arm of wooded reef, extending from the high western shore of the island, and curving round toward a promontory7, leaving a narrow channel to the sea, almost invisible, however, from the land-locked interior.
 
In this lake were many islets, all green with groves8. Its main-shore was a steep acclivity, with jutting9 points, each crowned with mossy old altars of stone, or ruinous temples, darkly reflected in the green, glassy water; while, from its long line of stately trees, the low reef-side of the lake looked one verdant10 bluff11.
 
Gliding12 in upon Yammo, its many islets greeted us like a little Mardi; but ever and anon we started at long lines of phantoms13
