We had a look-out at each fore-topsail-yardarm, at the fore-topmast-head, and often at the bowsprit end, as the submerged reefs can in calm weather be distinguished only by the darker colour of the water.
I often thought of that as I stood on deck at night, and felt that the same great God was loving and caring for me, a poor sailor-boy. "Land ho! land ho!" I heard the man at the fore-topmast-head shout out. He pointed to the east.
As I could only guess the meaning of all this, I went on board as soon as possible in a canoe, having only three men along with me. Before I could reach the ship, I could distinctly see a large ship, with a Spanish flag at her fore-topmast-head, and her fore-topsail a-back.
