noon
The mode of proceeding now required great caution on the part of Mark Woolston . His mind was fully made up not to desert his islands , although this might easily be done , by fitting out the ship for another voyage , filling her with sandal-wood , and bringing off all who chose to abandon the place . But Woolston had become infatuated with the climate , which had all the witchery of a low latitude without any of its lassitude . The sea-breezes kept the frame invigorated , and the air reasonably cool , even at the Reef ; while , on the Peak , there was scarcely ever a day , in the warmest months , when one could not labour at noon . In this respect the climate did not vary essentially from that of Pennsylvania , the difference existing in the fact that there was no winter in his new country . Nothing takes such a hold on men as a delicious climate . They may not be sensible of all its excellencies while in its enjoyment , but the want of it is immediately felt , and has an influence on all their pleasures .
