Going east the time is faster, and vice versa," continued the young officer. "At our present speed our clocks must be put about twenty minutes ahead, for a third of an hour has gone to Davy Jones's locker."

Soon there came forth from the water a gigantic turtle, who made his way slowly inland, until he reached the bottom of the hill, which was the home of the tigers. The dangerous animals were just descending from the mountain in a double line, but the moment they caught sight of the mammoth sea-monster, their bodies froze with terror and they were turned to stone.
A tradition among the poor whites of the South Jruns to the effect that the sea-monster that swallowed Jonah not a whale, because the throat of that animal is hardly large enough to admit a herring crossed the Atlantic and brought up at the Carolinas. His passenger was supplied with tobacco and beguiled the tedium of the voyage by smoking a pipe.

Suddenly, about a quarter of a mile off their weather-bow, a couple of rockets left a long trail of yellow against the night.

In a few minutes she showed a blue light on the bridge; she wanted a pilot.
