AN ISLAND STANDING ON ONE PILLAR.
The island they saw after this was named Encos;[LXXV.] and it was so
called because it was supported by a single pillar in the middle. They
rowed all round it, seeking how they might get into it; but could find
no landing-place. At the foot of the pillar, however, down deep in the
water, they saw a door securely closed and locked, and they judged that
this was the way into the island. They called aloud, to find out if any
persons were living there; but they got no reply. So they left it, and
put out to sea once more.
FOOTNOTES:
[LXXV.] Encos means "one foot."
