What the ark's form was we cannot precisely tell; but we know its dimensions pretty accurately. Although it was not intended for voyaging, the ark must necessarily have been a perfect model of a vessel, meant to float upon the waters.
Still, they had to be got rid of eventually, as Blunderbore, with all the faults of Noah's ark, has not the ark's accommodation for man and beast. It was a happy thought to angle for an invitation, through Mrs.
Bailey seized Henry by the bridle and backed him into the shafts. "Back up!" he roared. "Back up, I tell you! You needn't look at me that way," he added, in a lower tone. "I can't help it. You ain't any worse ashamed than I am. There! the ark's off the ways. All aboard!" Turning to the expectant widow, he "boosted" her, not too tenderly, up to the narrow seat. Then he climbed in himself.
The old Ark's going on all right as she is, and only wants quiet and room to move. Them's my sentiments, and those of some other people who have to do with money and business." "Then you are a thick-and-thin supporter of the Government as it is." "Why, no!

The Ark out-sailed her consorts and found herself alone with the galleons all round her. At that moment the wind dropped. The Spanish boarding-parties were at their posts. The tops were manned with musketeers, the grappling irons all prepared to fling into the Ark's rigging. In imagination the English admiral was their own. But each day's experience was to teach them a new lesson.
To attack them directly in French waters might lead to perilous complications, while delay meant famine. The Spanish fleet had to be started from the roads in some way. Done it must be, and done immediately. Then, on that same Sunday afternoon a memorable council of war was held in the Ark's main cabin.
Nor must we omit the peculiar appropriateness of this solemn designation, on the occasion of the ark's first becoming the leader of the march. Hitherto it had been carried in the centre; now it was moved to the van, and took the place of the pillar, which blazed no more. But the guidance was no less divine.
