“Oh，poor girl，”said Lucy．
“And we sailed from Galma，”continued Drinian，“and ran into a calm for the best part of two days and had to row，and then had wind again and did not make Terebinthia till the fourth day from Galma．And there their King sent out a warning not to land for there was sickness in Terebinthia，but we doubled the cape and put in at a little creek far from the city and watered．Then we had to lie off for three days before we got a south east wind and stood out for Seven Isles．The third day out a pirateTerebinthian by her rigoverhauled us，but when she saw us well armed she stood off after some shooting of arrows on either part—”
“And we ought to have given her chase and boarded her and hanged every mother’s son of them，”said Reepicheep．
“—And in five days more we were insight of Muil，which， as you know，is the westernmost of the Seven Isles．Then we rowed through the straits and came about sundown into Redhaven on the isle of Brenn，where we were very lovingly feasted and had victuals and water at will．We left Redhaven six days ago and have made marvellously good speed，so that I hope to see the Lone Islands the day after tomorrow．The sum is，we are now nearly thirty days at sea and have sailed more than four hundred leagues from Narnia．”
“And after the Lone Islands ？”said Lucy．
“No one knows，your Majesty，”answered Drinian．“Unless the Lone Islanders themselves can tell us．”
“They couldn’t in our days，”said Edmund．
“Then，”said Reepicheep，“it is after the Lone Islands that the adventure really begins．”
Caspian now suggested that they might like to be shown over the ship before supper，but Lucy’s conscience smote her and she said，“I think I really must go and see Eustace．Seasickness is horrid，you know．If I had my old cordial with me I could cure him．”
