Journey to the Center of the Earth- entry 5

This book is still good but I did not find it as interesting as the last five chapters.  They start off in the raft still floating along in the sea when they see a large spray of water off in the distance.  They believe it is a large whale but as they approach it the explorers realize that it is an island and the water is a geyser.  So they spend the night there and then continue on their journey.  I am uneasy because I believe that it is an animal.  While at sea the next day, they encounter a large storm and somehow end up on more land.  They check their compass and realize tha it is pointing North meaning that the storm reversed their journey.  The explorers were very angry and so was I.  While on the island the explorers find a whole human skeleton and that caught me off gaurd.  They are puzzled where it came from and so am I.  This book is almost over and I hope it has a very good climax.  Don't you?  Chapters 31-35
