CHAPTER XX.
THE RUSSIAN BARK.
We soon began to think the captain was mistaken in saying there would be lots of ships coming this way.

But then, we couldn't see very far.

Ships may have passed within a few miles of us, without our knowing anything about it.

Sometimes, though, we seemed high enough up, when we got on the top of a wave.
It was fully noon before we saw another sail.
