Digitized by VjOOQIC No. 83] A Ship on Fire 257 83. A Ship on Fire By Robert B. Dixon (1873) While Tom was telling me his story, he had been "planking" the deck from rail to rail, continually on the lookout, occasionally stopping and peering ahead, first from one bow, then from the other, while I, leaning on the capstan-head, intently listened to what he said. Just as he had finished speaking, he stood still,' and, steadily gazing off to leeward, said to me, — "Come here, Bob. Your eyes are you...nger than mine : look off there," pointing with his hand, " and see if you can make out any thing that looks like a light in the distance." I strained my eyes, trying hard to see it, but could not. " That's a queer-looking light for a ship's side- light, and it doesn't look like a steamer's mast-head light either," said the mate. The mate rubbed up the lenses of the spyglass with the comer of his coat ; and, bracing himself, brought the instrument to his eye on a level with the horizon, and, adjusting the focus, looked long and steadily at the light.
