They sailed on a good way, past point after point, hoping to find a nice deep harbour, but had to content themselves in the end with a wide and shallow bay. Though it had seemed calm out at sea there was of course surf breaking on the sand and they could not bring the Dawn Treader as far in as they would have liked. They dropped anchor a gooday from the beach and had a wet and tumbling landing in he boat. The Lord Rhoop remained on board the Dawn reader. He wished to see no more islands. All the time hat they remained in this country the sound of the long reakers was in their ears.
Two men were left to guard the boat and Caspian led he others inland, but not far because it was too late for xploring and the light would soon go. But there was no eed to go far to find an adventure. The level valley which y at the head of the bay showed no road or track or other gn of habitation. Underfoot was tine springy turf dotted ere and there with a low bushy growth which Edmund and ucy took for heather. Eustace, who was really rather good t botany; said it wasn‘t, and he was probably right; but it as something of very much the same kind.
