They saw it once or twice afterwards in sudden and passing gleams; as if it were a torch in the bark of a fisherman, rising and sinking with the waves ; or in the hand of some person on shore, borne up and down as he walked from house to house.

Seite 165 - Their veering about, apparently without effort, and the shifting and furling of their sails, resembling huge wings, filled them with astonishment.
