Chapter VII
THE BELLIGERENT COMMANDER OF THE MAUD "Here we are!" shouted Captain Scott, as the cable slid out through the hawse-hole. "That's so; but where are we?" asked Louis, who had been watching the bottom for the last hour. "There is a big ledge of rocks not twenty feet from the cutwater. Here we are; but where are we?" "We are on the south-west shore of Khrysoko Bay," replied the captain.
