Minutes passed, and the immeasurable heaving recommenced one, two, three, four ... seven long swells this time; and the Gulf smoothed itself once more. Irregularly the phenomenon continued to repeat itself, each time with heavier billowing and briefer intervals of quiet until at last the whole sea grew restless and shifted color and flickered green; the swells became shorter and changed form.
