Chapter XVII
CYD HAS A BAD FIT. Cyd was roused from his slumbers at nine o'clock to assist in working the Isabel farther into the swamp, and in the course of the day she was safely moored in her permanent position. The quick eye of Dan had detected the admirable fitness of this place both for concealment and defence. It was not more than three miles from the lake. The Isabel was secured between two islets, in the midst of a broad lagoon.
