Luckily, you and I are the hunters. Do you think we’ve passed that island yet?” p. 217– An abrupt sound startled him. Off to the right he heard it, and his ears, expert in such matters, could not be mistaken. Again he heard the sound, and again.

Where there are men, there is food,” he thought. But what kind of men, he wondered, in so forbidding a place? This passage is important because it shows what Rainsford thinks of the world.
