All night we listened to the sound of guns and shouting, but in the morning, when the sun came up, the captain was master of his ship again.
I went down to the shore to meet him.
'My dear friend,' he cried. 'There's your ship! I'll take you to the ends of the world in it!'
I put my arms round him, and we laughed and cried
together. How happy I was to leave the island!
