I thought: What treasure sunk into the sea by whatsoever lost ship galleons piled up and bursting with the gold and silver of Spain, or strange triangular-sailed boats sailing from Tripoli with the many-coloured jewels of the east, "ivory, apes, and peacocks" what treasure sunk there by man could be compared with the treasure already stored there by Nature, dropped as out of the dawn and the sunset into these unvisited waters by the lavish hand of God?
How many would return to old England should I be one; or would the Eastern sunshine blaze down upon my decomposing body on some barren sandy shore? We passed many of the Greek Islands some came up pink and mauve out of the sea, others were green with vineyards; once or twice a little triangular-sailed boat bobbed along the coast.
