As he ran, he kept stooping to snatch shells; and it seemed to Keola that they glittered as he took them. The leaves blazed with a clear flame that consumed them swiftly; and presently Keola had but a handful left, and the sorcerer was far off, running and stopping.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
