How am I to describe this astonishing body? It was most clearly the petrified3 fabric4 of a ship, a vessel5 of considerable tonnage, that had been hove from the dark ocean-bed on which it had been resting for God alone could tell how many scores of years by the prodigious6 eruption7 that had sent this head of rock on which we stood rushing upwards8 through the deep into the view of the Atlantic heaven. She had been apparently9 a galleon10 in her day, and to judge from such shape as I could distinguish in her, she was probably upwards of a century and a half old. She was not much above three times as long as she was broad, and the figure of her, therefore, was only to be got by viewing her broadside on. She was incrusted with shells of a hundred different kinds and colours, with much exquisite12 drapery of lace-like weed. This shelly covering was manifestly very thick and astonishingly plentiful13, but[298] though it increased her bulk it did not greatly distort her shape. You saw the form of the craft plain in the astonishing growth and adhesion. There was the short line of poop and then a little longer line of quarter-deck, then a deep waist broken again by the rise of the forecastle. You could follow the curve of the stem and cutwater and plainly see the square of the counter rising castle-like to a height of hard upon thirty feet from the surface on which she lay. She suggested the structure of a ship built of shells. The remains14 of a couple of masts shot up from her decks, one far forward, the other almost amidships, each about twelve feet high, as richly clothed as the hull15 with shells of many hues17. She lay with a slight list; that is to say, a little on one side, the inclination18 being to starboard, and so far as one could guess, she was disconnected from the bed on which she reposed—probably thundered clear of it by the shock of earthquake, though she looked as solid as a block of cliff. Sparkling lines of water spouted19 from her upper works, but from below that part of her main-deck which sailors would call the covering board, she showed herself as tight as if she had been newly caulked20 and launched.
The sunshine streamed purely21 and with great power upon her, and though she had scarce been distinguishable from the rest of the island save in the shape of her when the sky was dark with cloud, she now flashed out on that side of her that faced the sun into the most barbarically glorious, richly coloured, admirably novel object that ever mortal eye lighted upon in this wide world. Pearl-coloured shells blended with blue and green; there were ruby22 stars; growths of a crystalline clarity prismatic as cut glass; shells of the cloud-like softness of milk but of the hardness of marble; patches of incrustation of an amber23 tint24, others of a vivid green delicately relieved by the scoring of the burnished25 edges of mussel-like shells. The falls of water fell like curves of rainbow over this magnificence and splendour of marine26 decoration; the tapestry27 of weed hung moist and of an exquisite vividness of green. The short height of masts glittered in the sunshine with many lovely colours of silver and rose and other hues which made a very prism of each shaft28 of spar.
The whole of us stood gazing, lost in wonder; then Finn cried, ‘This is a wonderful sight, Mr. Monson.’
‘An old galleon full o’ treasure. Who’s to know?’ exclaimed the seaman30 Head.
‘From what depth will she have been thrown up?’ asked Laura.
‘From a soil too deep for human soundings,’ said I. ‘Wonderful that the blaze of fire in the heart of which she must have soared to this surface did not wither31 her up. But she seems perfect, not an ornament32 injured, not a jewel on her broken, no hint of having been scorched33 that I can anywhere see. She will have belonged to the last century, Finn?’
[299]
‘Ay, sir,’ he answered, ‘and mayhap earlier. How would she show if she was to be scraped?’
He held his long chin betwixt his thumb and forefinger34, and stared gapingly35 at the wondrous36 object.
‘We might find shelter in her,’ said the cold, haughty37 voice of Lady Monson, ‘if the sea should break over the island.’
‘Happily suggested!’ I exclaimed. ‘What sort of accommodation will her decks offer?’
‘Grit, I reckon,’ said Head.
‘Well, we can pound a space clear for ourselves, I hope,’ said I; ‘there’s canvas enough yonder on the beach to furnish us with a roof.’
‘And she’ll give us a rise of twenty or thirty feet above the level of the island, sir,’ said Finn, ‘pretty nigh as good as a masthead look-out. A wessel’ll have to pass a long way off not to see her! Well, thank God! says I, for that she’s here. It’s something for a man’s sperrits to catch hold of, ain’t it, Mr. Monson? Lor’ bless me, how beautiful them shells look!’
Cutbill and Dowling now joined us, and stood staring like men discrediting38 their senses.
‘William,’ said Finn, addressing Cutbill, ‘if ye had her safe moored40 in the Thames, mate, just as she is, there’d be no need for you to go to sea any more. There’s folks as ’ud pay a pound a head to view such a hobject.’
‘What’s inside of her?’ said Dowling.
‘That’s to be found out,’ answered Cutbill. ‘Smite me, Mr. Monson, sir, if the look-out of exploring of her ain’t good enough to stop a man from being in a hurry to get away from here.’
‘Will not one of the sailors climb on board,’ said Lady Monson, ‘that we may know the state of her decks? We shall require a shelter to-night if a ship does not come to-day and take us off,’ and she sent her black eyes flashing over the sea-line as she spoke41, but there was nothing to be seen.
‘How is a man to get aboard?’ exclaimed Dowling; ‘there’s nought42 to catch hold of, and sailors ain’t flies.’
‘Pile casks one on top of another,’ said I, ‘and then make a pick-a-back, the lightest hand last. I’ll lend my shoulders.’
Finn shook his head. ‘No need to risk our necks, sir. The bows are the lowest part. Nothen’s wanted but a coil of rope. Dowling, you look about the freshest of us, my lad. Step down where the raffle43 is, will ’ee, and bring along a length of the gear there.’
The fellow trudged44 to the beach very willingly. Had he been a merchant sailor pure and simple, one might have looked in vain under such conditions for hearty45 obedience46. Mercantile Jack47 when shipwrecked has a habit of viewing himself as a man freed from all restraint, and instantly privileged by misery49 to grow mutinous50 and in all senses obnoxious51. But the instincts of the yachtsman come very near to those of the man-of-war’s-man; and indeed, for the matter[300] of that, I would rather be cast away with a crew of men who knew nothing of seafaring outside yachting than with a body of blue-jackets—I mean as regards the promise of respectful behaviour.
Presently Dowling returned with a line coiled over his shoulder. In truth, rope enough to rig a mast with had come ashore52 with the yards, gaffs, and booms of the yacht, and the sailor had had nothing to do but to clear away as much line as he wanted and bring it to us. Cutbill took the stuff from him and coiled it down afresh over his fingers as though he were about to heave the lead, then nicely calculating distance and height with his eye he sent the fakes flying lasso fashion sheer over the head of the huge, glittering, fossilised structure where the incrustation forked out in a manner to suggest the existence of what the ancient mariner53 termed a ‘beak,’ and the end was caught by Dowling, who had stepped round the bows of the craft to receive it.
‘Now up you go, my lad,’ shouted Cutbill, and the sailor, who was of a light figure, mounted as nimbly as a monkey, hand over hand; three of us holding on to the rope t’other side to secure it for him. He gained the deck and looked about him with an air of stupid wonder.
‘Why, it’s a plantation54!’ he shouted; ‘young cork-trees a-sprouting and flowers as big as targets! vegetables right fore11 and aft, and a dead grampus under the break of the poop!’
‘Avast!’ bawled55 Cutbill, ‘tarn to and see if the stump56 of that there foremast is sound.’
The spar was stepped well forward, after the ancient custom, with a slight inclination towards the bow. Dowling made for it with his mouth open, staring around and looking behind him as he went, and treading as though he moved on broken glass. He drew close to the shell-covered shaft that glowed with the tints57 of a dying dolphin and glittered and coruscated58 with the richness and variety of dyes beyond imagination to every movement that one made. After briefly59 inspecting it he sang out: ‘Strong enough to moor39 a line-of-battle ship to, sir!’
‘Then make the end of the line fast there,’ roared Cutbill.
This was done, and up went the burly salt, puffing60 and blowing, swinging a crimson61 visage round to us as he fended62 himself off the lacerating heads of the shelly armour63 with his toes. He got over the side, stood staring as the other had, and then, tossing up his hands, shouted down, ‘Looks like that piece, capt’n, that’s wrote down in the Bible ’bout the Gard’n of Eden. Only wants Adam and Eve, damn me! Never could ha’ dreamed of such a thing. And it’s the bottom of the sea too. Why, it’s worth being drownded if it’s all like this down there.’
‘Any hatches?’ cried Finn.
‘Can’t see nothen for shells and vegetables.’
‘Well, just take a look round, will ’ee, and let’s know if there’s shelter to be got for the ladies.’
Dowling sang out, ‘Main-deck’s pretty nigh awash, but there’s[301] a raised quarter-deck, and it’s dry from the break of it to right aft.’
‘She will be full of water,’ said I to Finn. ‘Why not scuttle64 her? There are a couple of augers in the carpenter’s chest. Is that growth to be pierced, though?’
‘Can but try, sir,’ he answered.
‘Well,’ said I, ‘one thing is certain. The sun will be standing65 overhead presently. There’s no wind, and we must absolutely contrive66 to protect the ladies from the pouring heat. There’s but one thing to do for the moment, that I can see. We must manage to rig up a sail aboard to serve as an awning67. But how are the ladies to be got into her?’
Lady Monson and Laura stood close, listening anxiously.
‘Why,’ answered Finn, after thinking for a few moments, ‘we must rig up a derrick. There’s blocks enough knocking about amongst the raffle down there to make a whip with. The consarn’ll sarve also to hoist68 the provisions up by. I allow that if once we get stowed up there, there’ll be nothen to hurt us so far as seas goes in the heaviest gale69 that can come on to blow.’
‘I shall be miserable70 until I am on board,’ said Lady Monson. ‘It is dreadful to be dependent upon this low rock for one’s life. The tide may rise.’
I met Laura’s sad and wondering eyes, and divined her thoughts. The instinct of self-preservation was indeed a very powerful development in her ladyship’s bosom71. Is she not ashamed to let us all see how anxious she is about her life, Laura’s glance at me seemed to say, after the sufferings and death her behaviour has brought about—her husband drowned, the unhappy man she abandoned her home for floating in the depths beyond the horizon there——?
Cutbill descended72, followed by Dowling.
‘’Tis an amazing sight, surely,’ he exclaimed, wringing73 the perspiration74 in a shower from his forehead. ‘The decks is flinty hard with shell, but I reckon a space is to be cleared just under the break of the poop, and it feels almost cool up there arter these here rocks. There’s a porpoise75 aft as’ll want chucking overboard. ’Tain’t no grampus, as Dowling says. Only I tell ye, capt’n, that there deck’s a sight to make a man see twenty times more’n he looks at.’
Finn’s spirits had improved through his having something else to think of than the loss of the yacht and the drowning of her people. He was fetching his breath, too, with comparative ease, and only at long intervals77 brought his hand to his side. This improvement in him greatly cheered me. I liked the rough, homely78 sailor much, and his death would have been a blow. The man Johnson had by this time made shift to rise and join us, but he walked with a weak step and looked very sadly, as though a deal of the life had been washed out of him in his struggle to fetch the[302] shore. He was of no use to us, and I told him to go and sit in the shadow of the hull out of the blaze of the sun.
Finn then called a council: Cutbill, myself, Dowling, and Head gathered round him, and very briefly and with but little talk we concerted our plans. We were all agreed that the astonishing shell-armoured fabric could be made to yield us a tolerably secure asylum79, and that the elevation80 of its deck would enable us to command a wide view of the sea, and that therefore it was our business forthwith to convey all that we could recover from the yacht into her. I went to work with the rest and toiled81 hard. The labour mainly consisted in dragging and pulling, for we had to bring a spare boom to the galleon from the beach to serve as a derrick for hoisting83; then such sails as had been washed ashore; then the provisions. It was like drawing teeth; everything seemed to weigh about five times more than it should. The work was made the harder, moreover, by the character of the ground. Had the surface been smooth as earth is we could have tramped with tolerable briskness84; but our staggering march to the galleon under heavy loads was converted into a very treadmill85 exercise by our having to dodge86 the little holes large enough to neatly87 fit the leg to as high as the knee, or the wider yawns and great wells of which some were big enough to receive the whole body of us, goods and all, in one gulp88. I had by this time ascertained89 that the water in the larger pores and holes was too salt to drink. It was in the smaller hollows only, and these indeed amongst the shallowest, that the water lay scarce brackish90. In short, the fall of rain, great as it was, had not lasted long enough to drown the brine in the deeper wells. This was an important discovery, for the fierce sun would soon dry up the shallow apertures91; and had we taken for granted that the contents of the deeper ones were fit to drink, we should have been brought face to face with thirst.
But happily nearly the whole of the yacht lay in piecemeal92 before us. All that had been in her forepart, which yet stood, had washed out and rolled ashore or stranded93 within wading94 distance. Our fresh water had been carried in casks, as I believe was the custom for the most part in those days; some of the barrels had bulged95, but a few had been swept high and dry. There were empty water casks, moreover, which had floated up, and these we rolled aside to be filled the moment we had leisure to devote to that task. There were no bodies to be seen, and I was thankful for it. The sharks no doubt had been put to flight by the explosion, but they would not be long in returning; and indeed I gathered they were in force again, though I saw nothing resembling a fin29, from the circumstance of none of the dead, saving the few forms which Cutbill and Dowling had slipped into the sea on the other side of the island, having drifted in with the wreckage96.
The leaden curtain had drawn far down into the west; two-thirds of the heavens now were a dazzle of silver blue with a high sun looking down out of it with a roasting eye, and the water a[303] surface of shivering glory south and east and edged crape-like in the west, but not a cloud of the size of a thumb-nail anywhere save there. A thin line of surf purred delicately upon the gradual slope of sulphur-lined beach, with a weak, metallic97 hissing98 sounding along the length of it as the sparkling ripple99 slipped up and down upon the honeycombed beach. The remains of the yacht’s bows lay gaunt and motionless some distance down. Her gilt100 figure-head glowed in the sunshine and made a brightness under it that rode like a fragment of sunbeam upon the delicate lift of sea rolling inwards. A plank101 or two rounding into the stern were gone and you could see daylight through her. It seemed incredible that so stout102 a little craft should have gone to pieces as she had; but then the swell103 had been heavy and the ground on which she beat iron-hard, and then again her scantling was but that of a pleasure vessel, though the staunchest of its kind.
Meanwhile I conveyed, with the help of Cutbill, into the shadow that was cast by the galleon, as I will call her, Laura’s box of wearing apparel which we had fallen in with early in the morning. Oddly enough it was the only trunk or portmanteau that had come ashore. Some sailors’ chests had floated in, but nothing belonging to any of us aft saving this box of Laura’s and a small chest of drawers out of Wilfrid’s cabin, one drawer gone, and the others containing articles of no use to us, such as gloves, neck-ties, writing material, manuscripts sodden104 and illegible105. The removing her clothes from the box and spreading them to dry found Laura occupation and something else therefore to think of than our miserable condition. Her sister very early had withdrawn106 to the shadow cast by the galleon, and there sat—Johnson lying a little way from her—apparently stirless for a whole half-hour together; as much a fossil to the eye as the wondrous structure that sheltered her. The black cloud of hair upon her back, her spectral107 white face and dark eyes gave me an odd fancy of her as the figure-head of the mysterious fabric that had risen in thunder and flame from the green stillness of its ocean tomb where it had been lying so long that the mere108 thought of the years put a shiver into one, spite of the broiling109 orb110 that hung overhead. Heavens! I remember thinking in some interval76 of toil82, during which I paused, panting, with my eye directed towards the galleon—figure a lonely man coming ashore here on a moonlit night and beholding111 that woman seated as she now sits, looking as she now looks, stirless as she now is, in the shadow of that shell-covered structure shimmering112 like a lunar rainbow to the moonbeam!
It was like passing from death to life to send the gaze from Lady Monson to Laura as the little sweetheart busily flitted from sunshine to shadow, spreading the garments to the light, her hair flashing and fading as she passed from the radiance into the violet shade, her figure the fairer to my enamoured eyes, maybe, for the shipwrecked aspect of her attire113 that enriched by fitful and fasci[304]nating revelations the beauty of her form by an art quite out of the reach of the nimblest of dressmaking fingers. Her spirits and much of her strength seemed to have returned to her. Often she would look my way and wave her hand to me.
Half an hour after noon by the sun—for my watch had stopped when I tumbled overboard, and so had Laura’s and Lady Monson’s—we all assembled under the overhanging counter of the galleon for a midday meal. The sun was almost overhead, and there was very little shadow; which forced us to sit tolerably close together, and I could see that her ladyship did not very much relish114 this intimate association with the rough sailors; but it was either for her or for them to sit out in the scorching115, blinding light, and as she did not offer to go I insisted on the poor fellows keeping their places, though Finn and Cutbill shuffled116 as though they were for backing away. She perceived my indifference117 to her sensitiveness and shot a look of hate at me. However, I was not so insensible as she imagined, for I was very careful to scarcely glance at her; for there she sat, unveiled, her head uncovered, close to, to be peered at, if one chose, as if she were a picture or a statue, and I would not pain what weak sense of shame, what haughty confusion there might be in her by a single lift of my eyes to her face, saving when I accosted118 her or she me. I observed that the sailors were studious in their disregard of her. There was not a man of them I dare say but would have squinted119 curiously120 at her out of the corner of his eyes on board the yacht had she shown herself on deck; but here it would have been taking an unfair advantage of her; their instincts as men governed them, and no fine gentleman could ever have exhibited a higher quality of breeding than did these rough Jacks121 in this respect, as they squatted122 munching123 biscuit and potted meat and handing on to one another the jar of sherry and water.
But often, though swiftly and very respectfully too, their glances would go to Laura. They would look as though they found something to hearten them in her sweet pale face, her kind smile, her pretty efforts to bear up.
‘There ought to be a ship passing here before long,’ said Finn, with a slow stare seawards; ‘’taint as if this here island was right in with the African coast.’
‘The “’Liza Robbins” should be looked out for, capt’n,’ said Cutbill; ‘she was dead in our wake when we drawed ahead, steering124 our course to a hair.’
‘Strange that all the yacht’s boats should have disappeared,’ said I.
‘Hammered into staves, your honour,’ said Finn; ‘ye may see bits of them on the beach.’
‘I couldn’t swear to it,’ said Johnson languidly; ‘it was so blooming dark; but I’ve got a notion of seeing some of the men run aft when the yacht struck, as though making for one of the boats.’
[305]
‘I was knocked down by a rush of several sailors,’ said I.
‘If any of our chaps got away in a boat, why aren’t they here?’ asked Dowling.
‘Why, man, consider the size of this island,’ I exclaimed; ‘a few strokes of the oars125, the boat heading out, or to the eastwards126, say, would suffice to send them clear of this pin’s-head of rock, and then once to leeward127 they’d blow away. But we need not trouble to speculate: I fear nobody has escaped but ourselves.’
Finn shook his head with a face of misery, putting down what he was eating and fixing his eyes, that had moistened on a sudden, on the rock he sat on.
‘How long will it be before we enter the ship?’ asked Lady Monson.
‘Oh, we shall all be aboard before sundown, I don’t doubt,’ said I.
‘Will you not have some signal ready in case a vessel pass?’ she demanded.
‘We’ll stack the materials for a bonfire, but there is much to be done meanwhile,’ said I.
I believed she would have addressed Cutbill or Finn rather than me, but for the downright insolence128 her disregard of my presence would have signified. No doubt she hated me for being her husband’s cousin, for joining in his chase of her, for having helped in the duel129 that cost the Colonel his life, for the part I had acted aboard the ‘’Liza Robbins,’ and for being a witness of her defeat and shame and humiliation130. Yes, such a woman as Lady Monson would violently abhor131 a man for much less than this. Why should poor Wilfrid have been drowned and she spared? I remember thinking. The world would surely have been the better off for the saving of one honest heart out of the yacht’s forecastle than for Lady Monson’s deliverance. But reflections of this kind were absurdly ill-timed. I started from them on meeting Laura’s gaze pensively132 watching me, and then sprang to my feet to the perception of the overwhelming reality that confronted us all.
‘Come, lads,’ said I, ‘if you are sufficiently133 rested shall we turn to?’
They instantly rose; Johnson staggered on to his legs, but I told him to keep where he was.
‘You’ll be hearty again to-morrow,’ said I, ‘and we are strong enough to manage without you.’
He knuckled134 his forehead with a grateful smile and lay down again.
The work ran us deep into the afternoon. There did not seem much to be done, but somehow it occupied a deal of time. The heat was a terrible hindrance135; it fell a dead calm, the atmosphere pressed with a tingling136 vibration137 to the skin and swam in a swooning way, till sometimes on pausing and bringing my hand to my brow I would see the hot blue horizon beginning to revolve138 as though it were some huge teetotum with myself perched on the[306] top of the middle of it. With a vast deal of trouble and after a long time a boom was secured to the stump of the galleon’s foremast with a block at the end of it, through which a line was rove. There had washed ashore close to the great dead shark down on the beach a small arm-chair of red velvet139 that had formerly140 stood in Laura’s cabin. Cutbill spied it and brought it to Finn, and said that it would do to hoist the ladies on board by. It was accordingly carried to the galleon, and made fast to one end of the whip. Dowling then climbed on board whilst the others of us stood by to sway away.
‘Will you go up first, Lady Monson?’ said I.
She coldly inclined her head and came to the chair, sweeping141 her hair backwards142 over her shoulders with a white, scared look at the height up which she was to be hoisted143. I snugged144 her in the chair, and passed the end of a piece of line round her, and all being ready, we ran her up hand over hand till she was on a level with the shell-bristling rail of the galleon’s forecastle. Here Dowling caught hold of the chair and drew it inboards, singing out to us to lower away, and a few moments after the chair was floating over the side empty.
We then sent Laura aloft. She smiled at me as she seated herself, but there was a deal of timidity in her sweet eyes, and her smile vanished as if by magic the moment the chair was off the ground. However, she soared in perfect safety and was received by Dowling, and no sooner had she sent a look along the decks than her head shone over the side and she called down to me, ‘Oh, Mr. Monson, it is exquisite—a very Paradise of shells and sea flowers!’
‘Will you go up now, sir?’ said Finn.
‘Not yet,’ I replied; ‘I can be useful down here. Let us get Johnson hoisted out of the way first.’
Cutbill brought the poor fellow round to the chair and we sent him up. Dowling remained on the vessel to receive what we whipped up aloft to him, and in the course of an hour from the time of swaying Lady Monson aboard we had hoisted all the provisions we had brought into the shadow of the galleon—Laura’s box of clothes, the yacht’s foresail and fore-staysail, a bundle of mattresses145 that had washed out of the forecastle, the cask of sherry, two casks of fresh water, the carpenter’s chest, and other matters which I cannot now recall. This was very well indeed, but we were nigh-hand spent, and had to fling ourselves down upon the pumice rocks to rest and breathe ere tailing on to the whip again to hoist one or another of us up.
The sun was now in the west, his light a rich crimson and the sea a sheet of molten gold polished as quicksilver under him. The galleon’s shadow lay broad on her port side, and in it we sprawled146 with scarlet147 faces and dripping brows.
‘No chance of being picked up in such weather as this, sir,’ said Finn, who had worked as hard as any of us and seemed the[307] better for his labours, though I observed that his breath was caught at times as if by a spasm148 or shooting pain in the side.
‘We must have patience,’ said I, ‘but at the worst ’tis a tolerably comfortable shipwreck48, Finn. We are well stocked, and there’s a deal more yet to be had if the sea will keep quiet. We’re not ashore upon the Greenland coast, all ice ahead of us and all famine astern.’
‘No, thank the Lord,’ quoth Cutbill; ‘it’s a bad shipwreck when a man daresn’t finger his nose for fear of bringing it away from his face. Better too much sun, says I, than none at all.’
‘And then again,’ said I, with a glance up at the marvellous, shell-encrusted conformation that towered with swelling149 bilge over our heads, ‘here’s as good a house as one needs to live in till something heaves in view.’
‘I’m for scuttling150 her at once, capt’n,’ cried Head; ‘she’ll hold a vast o’ water, and the sooner she’s holed the sooner she’ll be empty. Who’s to tell what’s inside of her?’
Cutbill ran his eyes thirstily over the huge fossil. ‘She was a lump of a craft for her day,’ said he, ‘and when wessels of her size put to sea they was commonly nearly all rich ships, so I’ve heerd.’
‘Head, you’re right,’ cried Finn. ‘Ye shall be the first to spike151 her—if ’ee can. On deck there!’
‘Hillo!’ answered Dowling, putting his purple, whiskered face over the line of shells.
‘Send down the augers and a chopper out of the carpenter’s chest.’
‘Ay, ay, sir,’ he answered, and in a few moments down came the tools.
‘Before you make a start,’ said I, ‘hoist me aboard, will you?’
I planted myself in the chair, was cleverly run up, got hold of Dowling’s hand, and stepped on to the deck.
I was prepared to witness a rich and gorgeous show, but what I now viewed went leagues beyond any imagination I could have conceived of the reality. The ancient fabric had four decks, that is to say, the forecastle, the main-deck that was like a well, a short raised quarter-deck, and abaft152 all a poop, going to the narrow, castle-like crown of the head of the stern. These decks, together with the inside of the bulwarks153, were thickly encrusted with shells of every imaginable hue16 and shape and size; but in addition there flourished densely155 amongst these shells a wonderful surface of marine growths, not so dense154 but that the shells could be seen between, yet plentiful enough to submit each deck to the eye as a glorious marine parterre. It was like entering upon a scene of fairyland; there were growths of a coralline appearance of many colours, from a Tyrian dye to a delicate opalescent156 azure157, huge bulbs like bloated cucumbers, flowers resembling immense daisies, with coral-hard spikes158 projecting from them like the rays which dart159 from the sun; long trailing plants like prostrate160 creepers,[308] others erect161, as tall as my knee, resembling ferns, of a grace beyond all expression, with their plume-like archings, blossoms of white and carnation162, green bayonet-like spikes, weeds shaped to the aspect of purple lizards163 so that one watched to see if they crawled; great round vegetables bigger than the African toad-stools, some crimson, some of cream colour, some barred with crimson on a yellow ground; here and there lay fish big and little, of shapes I had never before beheld164, whose vividness seemed to have lost nothing through their being dead. Against the front of the quarterdeck was the livid body of a porpoise. There was scarcely a vegetable growth but that might have been wrought165 of steel for the unyieldingness of it. I kicked at one toadstool-like thing and my foot recoiled166 as though it had smote167 a little pillar of iron. The picture was made the more amazing by the red light of the declining sun, for every white gleam had its tinge168 of ruby, and what was deep of hue glowed gloriously rich. The two shafts169 of masts sparkled like the jewelled fingers of a woman. And the deep sea smell! The atmosphere was charged with an odour of brine and weed of a pungency170 and quality that one felt to be possible only to a revelation from some deepest and most secret recess171 of the deep. The water that had covered the main-deck when Dowling and Cutbill had first inspected the craft was fast draining away, but the growths there and the shells were still soaked and gave a wet surface for the light of the sun to flash up in, and the whole space sparkled with the glory of the rainbow, but so much brighter than the brightest rainbow, that the eye, after lingering, came away weeping with the dazzle.
