If only he had closed with the fat adventurer!... Before his eyes field and coppice, hedge and homestead, stream and flowing highway, all blurred and ran streakily into one another, like a highly impressionistic water-color. He could make neither head nor tail of the flying views, and so far as coherent thought was concerned, he could not put two ideas together.
The fog grew still denser, lifted for a moment while he wrote his name many times on slips of blue paper; closed down once more, and again lifted out-of-doors this time to show him a lunatic ballet of moons dancing streakily upon the horizon.
Perspiration was trickling down his face, and painting him, streakily, with iron rust and mud. All his garments were soaking. He sighed heavily on reaching the surface, and appeared to inhale the fresh air with great satisfaction. "Any more coming?" "No, Captain Dan," replied the man, glancing with some curiosity at the tall stranger.
It augmented darkly and streakily like a tub of water into which bluing is added drop by drop.... A Chinese arose and tossed a handful of joss-tatters into the still air. And now the voice of the Captain brought the rest of the crew to its feet. The China Sea can generate much deviltry to a square mile. The calm of death and the burn of perdition are in its bosom.
