And while she had gone up-stairs for her wraps I managed to make him understand that I did n't wish her to go, either; and he ran down to his boat, and came back with a story about its going to be rough, and looked at me perfectly delighted, as if I should be pleased. Of course, then, I made him take her." "And is n't it going to be rough?" asked Mrs. Green. "Why, mother, the sea's like glass."
And both knew, despite the woman's stubborn optimism, that it would take more than all their courage for the ship to still float brokenly at the morning of calm sea's return. Invaluable time was passing, and Kalus' illness refused to heal. An unfair battle had been joined inside him, one in which will alone was not enough. The man-child's hand was forced, and all power to choose taken from him.
Knowing the earth's diameter, any engineer or mathematician in this room could tell you how far the sea's surface will lie below this plane, at the distance of a yard, ten yards, a hundred yards, or a thousand yards from the point of contact of the plane and the sea. It is common, indeed, in levelling operations, to allow for the curvature of the earth. Newton's calculation was precisely similar.
"Has he been walking up and down all night?" I said sleepily. "Oh, no!" said Bigley. "I have only just called him, and heard him get up. But make haste. It's a splendid morning, and the sea's like glass." "And the skin's all off my heel," I said; "and it's as sore as sore, and so is one of my toes."
"The sea's breaking more sharply, and we'd get uncommonly wet before we hammered round yonder head. There's an inlet on this side of it where we ought to find good shelter." "The trouble is that if you stay there long you'll be too late for the directors' meeting. Besides, I'm under the impression that I've seen you run an open sea-canoe before as hard a breeze as this."
It sprang from the ledge and winged its prodigious length in one low arc over the sea's crimson breast, as though in some ancient paroxysm of earth it had been hurled molten, crystallizing into that stupendous span and still flaming with the fires that had moulded it. Closer we came and closer, while I watched spellbound; now we were at its head, and the litter-bearers swept upon it.
Then Hallblithe felt a little air on his cheek, and the mist grew thinner, and the sail began to fill with wind till the sheet tightened: then, lo! the mist rising from the face of the sea, and the sea's face rippling gaily under a bright sun.
The Iconoclast and the people whose pride it is that their senses are dead will see in a river nothing more than so much moisture gathered in a narrow place and falling as the mystery of gravitation inclines it. Their mood is the mood of that gentleman who despaired and wrote: A cloud's a lot of vapour, The sky's a lot of air, And the sea's a lot of water That happens to be there.
The great engine, which draws the air from the sea's brink and drives it out in life-giving currents through the corridors of Czerny's house, that engine alone stands between us and eternity this day. If those below have kept that engine going until this time, it is for their own safety's sake. Rob them of food and drink, and what security have we that they will continue at the task?
The battleship swerved again and ran across the track of the sunken U-boat. Bubbling up from the depths were blobs of black oil which lazily spread and broke upon the sea's surface. The German submarine was done for. Her crew were buried with her at the bottom of the sea. The cheering ceased when this fact was realized.
