A pretty good proof, the doctor would say,
gpt
And of how there is plenty of room, uncle, for any number of wonderful creatures such as we have never seen yet. But are you always going sailing on like this?
human
Why, aren't you satisfied?
gpt
Satisfied, uncle? Oh yes, with what we are doing. But I haven't had nearly enough. I should like to go oil sailing like this for--
human
Ever?
gpt
Oh no, uncle; I mean for long enough yet. But I say, isn't the world beautiful?
human
More beautiful, boy, than words can express, replied the doctor gravely.
gpt
But no. Now we are getting into the Southern Tropics I am thinking of going more to the east and into the great bay, so as to get within range of the African shores. Perhaps we shall make for the mouths of one or two of the rivers, and get within soundings where we can do more dredging. I anticipate some strange discoveries in those portions of the ocean; but at present we will keep on skimming the surface and finding what we can.
