As for nuts he winked awhile, and chewed a piece of tobacco; yet did I not comprehend him. Folk, who are ever too prone to talk, said that Will Watcombe himself knew better than anybody else about this drift of the Gulf-stream, and the places where it would come ashore, and the caves that took the in-draught.
"We all of us have reason to be grave," answered Harry; "there is evidently a strong in-draught towards that big berg, and unless we can get the sails bent and a breeze to take us off, no human power can save us from driving against it, and then we shall be worse off than we were when we struck the berg the other night." "But don't you think we shall get the sails bent in time?" asked Willy.
We stood on to the south-west, after passing the Brothers, expecting that course would have carried us clear of every part of Borneo, but the south part of Borneo, and the large island called Poolo La'oot, form a considerable bight; into this bight we found a strong in-draught, by which, and the wind being light, we were drawn, and could not fetch round Borneo; we stood off and on there with light and baffling winds, and a short chop of a sea, and gained no ground: after passing two days and a night in this situation, we got a breeze, which enabled us to weather the Brothers again, and stand to the eastward, where we had more room.

This condensation on every side of the mountains would leave a partial vacuum which would set up currents from every direction to restore the equilibrium, thus bringing in more super-saturated air to suffer condensation and add its supply of water, again increasing the in-draught of more air.
"Indeed," observed the captain to the master "we are nearer than you thought." "Something, sir, perhaps; but recollect how many hours you have kept away after this vessel." "Very true," rejoined the captain; "and the in-draught into the bargain. I am not surprised at it." "Shall we haul our wind, sir? we are on a dead lee-shore." "No, Mr Pearce, not until the fate of that vessel is decided."
Having been long tossed in the ocean of the world, he will by that time feel the in-draught of another, unto which this seems but preparatory and without it of no high value. He will experimentally find the emptiness of all things, and the nothing of what is past; and wisely grounding upon true Christian expectations, finding so much past, will wholly fix upon what is to come.
"Very dreadful!" said Willy; "and I am thankful there is no chance, of that. In another ten minutes we shall be well clear of them." "I hope so," said Harry; but still he looked grave. They had just then reached the forecastle, where the master was standing. Though the ship was moving on parallel to the side of the berg, the in-draught was evidently carrying her nearer and nearer it.
