1 He jumped down from the terrace.
2 The fat boy lowered himself over the terrace and sat down carefully, using the edge as a seat.
3 Then he too started to run, stumbling over Maurice's discarded shorts before he was across the terrace.
4 Under Ralph's direction, they picked up a careful way along the palm terrace, rather than dare the hot sand down by the water.
5 He jumped off the palm terrace into the sand and his trousers fell about his ankles; he stepped out of them and trotted to the platform.

7 Then he leapt back on the terrace, pulled off his shirt, and stood there among the skull-like coconuts with green shadows from the palms and the forest sliding over his skin.
8 The beach between the palm terrace and the water was a thin stick, endless apparently, for to Ralph's left the perspectives of palm and beach and water drew to a point at infinity; and always, almost visible, was the heat.
