“Sire,” said Drinian, “this wind is fair for the south.east. hall I have our poor fellows up and set sail? And after that, very man who can be spared, to his hammock.”
“Yes,” said Caspian, “and let there be grog all round. eigh.ho, I feel I could sleep the clock round myself.”
So all afternoon with great joy they sailed south.east with fair wind. But nobody noticed when the albatross had isappeared.
