1 Ralph had stopped smiling and was pointing into the lagoon.
2 Near to Ralph's elbow a palm sapling leaned out over the lagoon.
3 All the shadows on Ralph's face were reversed; green above, bright below from the lagoon.
4 There was a jumble of the usual squareness, with one great block sitting out in the lagoon.
5 There, too, jutting into the lagoon, was the platform, with insect-like figures moving near it.
6 Sleep enveloped him like the swathing mirages that were wrestling with the brilliance of the lagoon.
7 The boy with fair hair lowered himself down the last few feet of rock and began to pick his way toward the lagoon.
8 Within the irregular arc of coral the lagoon was still as a mountain lake--blue of all shades and shadowy green and purple.
9 The palms that still stood made a green roof, covered on the underside with a quivering tangle of reflections from the lagoon.
10 The breezes that on the lagoon had chased their tails like kittens were finding their way across the platform and into the forest.
11 Then he sat carefully on a fallen trunk near the little cliff that fronted the lagoon; and the tangled reflections quivered over him.
12 In a few seconds the fat boy's grunts were behind him and he was hurrying toward the screen that still lay between him and the lagoon.
13 With that word the heat seemed to increase till it became a threatening weight and the lagoon attacked them with a blinding effulgence.
14 Ralph was standing by a contraption of palm trunks and leaves, a rude shelter that faced the lagoon and seemed very near to falling down.
15 The fat boy waited to be asked his name in turn but this proffer of acquaintance was not made; the fair boy called Ralph smiled vaguely, stood up, and began to make his way once more toward the lagoon.
16 Here the beach was interrupted abruptly by the square motif of the landscape; a great platform of pink granite thrust up uncompromisingly through forest and terrace and sand and lagoon to make a raised jetty four feet high.
17 Some act of God--a typhoon perhaps, or the storm that had accompanied his own arrival--had banked sand inside the lagoon so that there was a long, deep pool in the beach with a high ledge of pink granite at the further end.
