Excerpt from That Very Mab The Sacred Island itself was steering straight, like a magical barque, drawn by the wonderful song, to the mystic Shore of Samoa. Now Queen. Mab, where she stood among her court, with the strange brown fairies of the Southern Ocean, could behold the Sacred Island, with all its fairy crew. Beautiful things they seemed, as the sailing isle drew nearer, beautiful and naked, and brave with purple pan danus ?owers, and with red and yellow necklets of the scented seed of the pandanus. At last Queen Mab, the fairy in the ?uttering wings of green, clapped her hands, and, with a little soft shock, the Sacred Island ran in and struck on the haunted beach of Samoa.
