 proceeded on her voyage.  It was
necessary, however, before she could attempt to cross the wide expanse
of the Indian Ocean, and to encounter the storms off Cape Horn and in
the Atlantic, which might be expected, to careen and thoroughly repair
her.  On the 14th, therefore, they anchored at a convenient spot near an
uninhabited island off the east coast of Celebes.  The first thing they
did was to pitch their tents, and entrench themselves as strongly as
they could on the shore, lest any of the inhabitants of the larger
island in view might attack them.  After having thus provided for their
security, they landed the cargo and set up a smith's forge.  As all
their coals were spent, before they could use it, they had to
manufacture charcoal.

The place was remarkably healthy, and those who had hitherto been sickly
quickly recovered their strength.  The island was thickly wooded with
trees of great height.  Among them fire-flies in vast numbers were seen
flitting, at night every twig on the trees appearing as if lighted up by
stars.

They also saw what they took to be huge bats, which moved rapidly
through the air with short flights.  When they alighted they hung on the
boughs, with their backs downwards.  They also found, in vast numbers,
large land crabs, which lived in colonies under the roots of trees, but
never, as far as they could see, entered the water.  They accordingly
called this place Crab Island.

All necessary repairs being completed, the _Golden Hind_ sailed on the
12th of December, directing her course westward.  When off the coast of
Celebes, she became entangled among reefs and shoals, from out of which
it required the greatest possible care to find a free passage.  Here
they were sailing, now in one direction, now in another, until the 9th
of January, when, a favourable breeze springing up, they believed that
they had extricated themselves from their dangerous position, and that
they had an open sea before them.  They were running under all sail,
when, in the beginning of the first night watch, a loud grating sound
was heard,--the masts quivered: the _Golden Hind_
proceeded on her voyage.   It was 
 necessary, however, before she could attempt to cross the broad sweep 
 of the Indian Ocean, and to encounter the storms off Cape Horn and in 
 the Atlantic, which might be expected, to stagger and thoroughly repair 
 her.   On the 14th, therefore, they anchor at a convenient spot near an 
 uninhabited island off the east seashore of Celebes.   The first thing they 
 dress was to pitch their tents, and impinge themselves as strongly as 
 they could on the shore, lest any of the inhabitants of the larger 
 island in view might attack them.   After having thus supply for their 
 security, they landed the cargo and set up a smith's forge.   As all 
 their ember were spent, before they could use it, they had to 
 manufacture charcoal. 

 The topographic point was remarkably healthy, and those who had hitherto been sickly 
 quickly recovered their lastingness.   The island was thickly wooded with 
 trees of great height.   Among them fire - flies in vast numbers were seen 
 flitting, at night every twig on the trees appearing as if lighted up by 
 stars. 

 They also watch what they took to be huge bats, which moved quickly 
 through the air travel with short flights.   When they alight they hung on the 
 boughs, with their backs downwards.   They also detect, in vast numbers, 
 large land crab, which lived in colonies under the roots of trees, but 
 never, equally far as they could see, enroll the urine.   They accordingly 
 called this place Crab Island.
