At that moment the tree touched bottom, though some way from the shore, and began to bump heavily.
 
To steady himself, Maskull put his hand out, and, in doing so, accidentally covered some of the

membranes. The tree sheered off the land, as if by an act of will. When it was steady again, removed his

hand; they at once drifted back to shore. He thought a bit, and then started experimenting with the eyelike

membranes. It was as he had guessed — these eyes were stimulated by the light of the moon, and
 
whichever way the light came from, the tree would travel.


A rather defiant smile crossed Maskull’s face as it struck him that it might be possible to navigate this



huge plant-animal as far as Matterplay. He lost no time in putting the conception into execution. Tearing off
 
some of the long, tough leaves, he bound up all the membranes except the ones that faced the north. tree
 
instantly left the island, and definitely put out to sea. It travelled due north. It was not moving at more than

a mile an hour, however, while Matterplay was possibly forty miles distant.


The great spout waves fell against the trunk with mighty thuds; the breaking seas hissed through the lower

branches — Maskull rested high and dry, but was more than a little apprehensive about their slow rate of
 
progress. Presently he sighted a current racing along toward the north-west, and that put another idea
 
into his head. He began to juggle with the membranes again, and before long had succeeded in piloting his
 
tree into the fast-running stream. As soon as they were fairly in its rapids, he blinded the crown entirely

, and thenceforward the current acted in the double capacity of road and steed.
