I was looking out, when I saw through the mist what I took to be a sail. There was something strange about her rig I could not make it out. Accordingly, I reported it to the captain, who came on deck. He called Peter to him. "She looks to me like a vessel in distress, with most of her spars and upper-rigging carried away," he observed. She was about six miles off, on the lee-bow.
"I should say, from the whiteness of her canvas, and her light upper-rigging, that she belongs to some of those turban-wearing people along the African coast in there, or up the Straits. They are seldom pleasant customers for an unarmed craft to come across." "I had formed the same idea of her," observed Captain Helfrich.
