The foam of the sea looked as spectral as the faint astral splashes in the velvet deeps on high through which sailed many visionary shapes of cloud. A little time before it fell dark, and when the soft, moist crimson of the sun that was set yet lurked in the west, the steward Paul went aft with lanterns for the cabins occupied by the Captain, the mate, and Miss Lucy Acton.

Dr. Etwald was the only guest. About this man with the strange name there is something to be said.，"Yes I do," rejoined David, interrupting in his turn.
