In the evening of the day on which they saw the last of Vancouver Island, Jimmy sat in the Cetacea’s cockpit with a chart of the North Pacific spread out before him on the cabin hatch. It showed the tortuous1 straits, thickly sprinkled with islands of all sizes, through which they had somehow threaded their way during the last week, in spite of baffling head winds and racing2 tides, and though Jimmy was a navigator he felt some surprise at their having accomplished3 the feat4 without touching5 bottom. Now he had their course to the north plotted out along the deeply fretted6 coast of British Columbia, and rolling up the chart he rose to look about.
It was nine o’clock, but the light was clear, and a long, slate-green swell7 slightly crisped with ripples8 rolled up out of the south; to the northwest a broad stripe of angry saffron, against which the sea-tops cut, glowed along the horizon; but the east was dim, and steeped in a hard, cold blue. Shadowy mountains were faintly visible high up against the sky; and, below, a few rocky islets rose, blurred9 by blue haze11, out of the heaving sea.
The sloop12 rolled lazily, her boom groaning13 and the tall, white mainsail alternately
