The land was getting nearer at a great pace. She could see ountains far inland， and other nearer mountains on her ft. She could see bays and headlands， woods and fields， retches of sandy beach. The sound of waves breaking on he shore was growing louder every second and drowning he other sea noises.
Suddenly the land opened right ahead of her. She was oming to the mouth of a river. She was very low now， only few feet above the water. A wave.top came against her toe nd a great splash of foam spurted up， drenching her nearly o the waist. Now she was losing speed. Instead of being arried up the river she was gliding in to the river bank n her left. There were so many things to notice that she ould hardly take them all in； a smooth， green lawn， a ship o brightly coloured that it looked like an enormous piece f jewellery， towers and battlements， banners fluttering in he air， a crowd， gay clothes， armour， gold， swords， a sound f music. But this was all jumbled. The first thing that she new clearly was that she had alighted and was standing nder a thicket of trees close by the river side， and there， nly a few feet away from her， was Scrubb.
