The aurora light, which had flamed brightly, was now extinct, and darkness was upon the face of the deep, where we floated on the back of the monster. He swam, forcing himself onward with his hind-legs, with one broad wing folded up close.
While she slept some one had been near her; she could have sworn it before her startled eyes glanced around.

The fire should have burned out, but instead it flamed more brightly than ever, and there was a little heap of fuel laid conveniently close.
"Not so sure about that," observed the Dominie; "however, we will try and obtain some sleep." Before our eyes were closed the horrible chorus of howls and yelps and barking recommenced, and continued apparently on every side of our camp; still, while the fire burned brightly, there was no fear of the brutes rushing in on us.
