04 Volcano Adventure
“The camel is not native to Japan; these animals had been brought from the Gobi Desert and for years had been used to carry visitors to the top of Mt Mihara.
‘What a view!’ cried Hal, scanning the sea below, dotted with steamers and sailing ships. Mihara stands on an island at the mouth of Tokyo Bay. At the north end of the bay lay the great city of Tokyo; to the west, blue mountain ranges; to the southwest, the beautiful cone of Mt Fuji. South and east stretched the mighty Pacific, speckled with islands.
But Roger wasn’t looking at the view.
‘I wish this camel would stop trying to sharpen his teeth on me,’ he complained.
The camel was continually turning its head to bite at Roger’s legs.
‘Don’t let him bite you,’ warned Dr Dan. ‘Camels don’t brush their teeth and their bite is poisonous.’ Toguri and Machida had gone home, but Kobo, after a visit to his mother, had returned to spend a week with the volcano men. He was as happy now as he had been blue before. He kept chattering with any...one who would talk with him and was absorbing English as a sponge soaks up water.MoreLess
