The next moment the missionary came up in the midst of the sea, and
there before him were the palm trees of the island. He swam to the

"I seem to have been misinformed upon some points," said he.
"Perhaps there is not much in it, as I supposed; but there is
something in it after all. Let me be glad of that."
And he rang the bell for service.
MORAL.
