Abruptly the sounds left the vicinity of the ring. At first we could not locate their new position. Then Herold declared that they came from under the table; and presently we were all gathered on the floor, listening to those odd little sounds, while the ring remained thirty inches above, on the top of the table! It may be that the thing, whatever it was, did not care for such a crowd.

At 6 we Anchored in 17 fathoms, about 5 or 6 Leagues from the land, and one from the Shoal. At this time the Ship made about 15 Inches Water per hour.
Guapo leaped hastily back, as hastily, I will make bold to say, as any Indian of his years could have done, but not quick enough to clear himself quite.
