Medina Sidonia had however quite abandoned his intention of returning to England, and was only anxious for a safe return: to Spain. So much did he dread that northern passage; unpiloted, around the grim Hebrides, that he would probably have surrendered, had the English overtaken him and once more offered battle.
And suppose some crane-necked general to go speeding by on a tall charger, spurring the destiny of nations, red-hot in expedition, there would indubitably be some effusion of military blood, and oaths, and a certain crash of glass; and while the chieftain rode forward with a purple coxcomb, the street would be left to original darkness, unpiloted, unvoyageable, a province of the desert night.

From this glimpse of human cheerfulness, he fled like Cain; wandered in the night, unpiloted, careless of whither he went; fell, and lay, and then rose again and wandered further; and at last, like a transformation scene, behold him in the lighted jaws of the city, staring at a lamp which had already donned the tilted night-cap of the snow.
As he thought of him his charm, cleverness how that, too, had been pitted against her starved, then offered what she would have no way of judging close to her loveliness, conscious of her warmth, her breath, the superb curves of her lovely body thinking of what Darrett had found taken what he had left her to there were several minutes when his brain was unpiloted, a creaking ship churning a screaming sea.
When day returned and Anna and Flora slept, the murmur they had heard may after all have been only God's thunder and really not from the southeast; but just down there under the landscape's flat rim both forts, though with colors still gallantly flying, were smoking ruins, all Dixie's brave gunboats and rams lay along the river's two shores, sunken or burned, and the whole victorious Northern fleet, save one boat rammed and gone to the bottom, was on its cautious, unpiloted way, snail-slow but fate-sure, up the tawny four-mile current and round the gentle green bends of the Mississippi with New Orleans for its goal and prey.
Always when the east grew purple I launched my dory, my little flat-bottomed skiff, and rowed cross-handed to Point Ledge, the Middle Ledge, or perhaps beyond Egg Rock; often, too, did I anchor off Dread Ledge a spot of peril to ships unpiloted and sometimes spread an adventurous sail and tracked across the bay to South Shore, casting my lines in sight of Scituate.
'Thro' utter dark a full-sail'd skiff, Unpiloted i' the echoing dance Of reboant whirlwinds; and to the question, 'Why not believe, then? we have as answer a simile of the sea, which cannot slumber like a mountain tarn, or 'Draw down into his vexed pools All that blue heaven which hues and paves' the tranquil inland mere." The poet longs for the faith of his infant days and of his mother
