"'What's up with him? I ask her. "She says somethin' in Mexican or some language, anyway. But I see she don't know any more 'n me. It's just like this. The current's gone out o' the wire. Last I ever see of 'em, she's leadin' him off in the sunrise toward the box cars leadin' him by the hand. Now did you ever hear a funnier experience than that to happen to a man?" "No," I said, "I never did."
If one struggle was made it might throw him out of the current's course against a boulder, where he would be pounded to death or rendered unconscious and surely drowned. He was swept on much more rapidly than his companions could run and quite hidden from them by the big foam-crested waves.
"The current's setting dead for the falls, and we're being sucked sharply towards the broken water underneath them." "Ay, true for you, mate," cried one of the sailors; "and if we get there we shall be swamped before we know where we are."
It was putty well out when Billy P. died, but the village has growed up to it. The's some good lots could be cut out on't, an' it backs up to the river where the current's enough to make a mighty good power fer a 'lectric light. I know some fellers that are talkin' of startin' a plant here, an' it ain't out o' sight that they'd pay a good price fer the river front, an' enough land to build on.
"That means the water will rise for some time yet, and although the current's with us now I think we can't be far off the meeting of the tides." Jake nodded. In places of the kind, the stream often runs in from both ends until it joins and flows in one direction from the shoalest spot. "Then we ought to find a channel leading out on the other side."
He was particular to warn his helper against the tide in the inlet: "The cove's all right," he said, "but you want to look out and not try to swim in the crick where it's narrow, or in that deep hole by the end of the wharf, where the lobster car's moored. When the tide's comin' in or it's dead high water, the current's strong there.
Presently I came to a place where one of the great black piles, driven in by order of the Sawyer, to serve as a back-stay for his walls, had been swept by the flood from its vertical sinking, but had not been swept away. The square tarred post of mountain pine reclined down stream, and gently nodded to the current's impact.
Now then, this second arm more accurately, a collar forms a ring of warm water around a section of cool, tranquil, motionless ocean called the Sargasso Sea. This is an actual lake in the open Atlantic, and the great current's waters take at least three years to circle it. Properly speaking, the Sargasso Sea covers every submerged part of Atlantis.
"He gets them sorted just the same, doesn't he?" "The current's fairly strong," Orde pointed out, "and the river's almighty wide. When you spring seven or eight million feet on a man, all at once and unexpected, and he with no crew to handle them, he's going to keep almighty busy.
"She don't make much way, sir," said Dan, in a grumbling tone hardly above a whisper, the words being meant for Brace's ear, but the mate evidently heard what was said. "I don't quite understand this," said he. "I never noticed any change, but the current's setting now right for the falls." "Don't you see why that is?" Briscoe asked the question sharply. "No. Do you?" "Yes.
