On landing they discovered a gully in the cliffs which led inland, and straightway explorers were sent to spy what manner of land it was whereon they had fallen.  Within the very mouth of the narrow pass they came upon a small ship hollowed out of a tree gigantic, but it was rotten and dry as touchwood, and wasting into dust.  Within the ship lay the bones of a man, stretched out as though he had died in sleep. Outside the ship lay the bones of two others.  The faces of these were turned downward to the stones whereon they lay, but the man in the ship had perished with his eyes fixed on the heavens.  The oars and sails and ropes were all dry and crumbling, and the raiment of the men had mouldered away.
