Our transit spot was a place, where, from the edge of the hither lagoon could be discerned by a careful observer, a modest little grassy mound in the water, a kind of frog-island, which the - Aequor is classic and poetic authority. miller said was the nearest bank of the creek; and that from this mound another on the opposite bank could be discovered, or nearly so.
