A thousand emotions thrilled me when I saw the island, and I bowed my head to the deck.

We may mock the Oriental salaam, but for my part I could find no other way of expressing myself.
The wind being light through the day, the _Spray_ did not reach the island till night.

With what wind there was to fill her sails she stood close in to shore on the northeast side, where it fell calm and remained so all night.

I saw the twinkling of a small light farther along in a cove, and fired a gun, but got no answer, and soon the light disappeared altogether.

I heard the sea booming against the cliffs all night, and realized that the ocean swell was still great, although from the deck of my little ship it was apparently small.
