“Ashati and Neram have never been in that part of the jungle,” said the latter. “But they have heard about it from the old men of the tribe. It is two days’ journey beyond the Giant Cataract that Bomba must go before he reaches the great water. Then he must get a canoe or a raft and let the water carry him where it will. He will not need a paddle, except to steer, for the water is very strong and it will carry him until he touches Jaguar Island.”
