Authorship not stated
You are a sailor on the whaler Dolly, fifteen months out with years of the voyage still ahead, when she finally reaches Nukuheva. Rather than go back to sea, you and your friend Toby slip away from the liberty party to strike into the interior, cutting through reed brakes and starving across five days of ridges and gorges. Descending at last into an inhabited valley, too weak to retreat, islanders meet you and name it Happar, though the look between them tells Toby the answer is not settled.
