Энэ электрон номын тухай
ÒWell, Thudicumb, I hope by noon we may at last get a glimpse of the sun,Ó said Captain Davenport to his first officer, as they walked the deck of the Bussorah Merchant, homeward bound from the East Indies, and at that time rolling on over the long heaving seas of the Atlantic. The sky was overcast, but ever and anon a gleam of light burst forth amid the clouds, playing on the foaming crest of a wave. It was blowing hard, but had evidently been blowing much harder, of which fact the condition of the Indiaman gave evidence. A portion of the starboard bulwarks were stove in, one of her quarter boats was shattered, and other slight damages were visible.
ÒWe must be ready for him, sir, at all events,Ó said the first officer, looking at his watch. ÒIt is not far off noon now.Ó
ÒTell Oliver to bring me my sextant,Ó said the captain, as the mate descended from the poop into his cabin.
Mr Thudicumb soon returned, bringing his own instrument, and followed by a boy with the captainÕs. Continuing their walk, they looked anxiously every now and then at the spot in the heavens where they expected the sun to appear. They were accompanied by one who seemed to take as much interest as they did in what was going forward. When they turned, he turned; when they looked up at the sky, he looked up also; balancing himself when the ship rolled as they did, by leaning over to the opposite direction to which she was heeling. He, however, could not have afforded them any assistance in their observation, for though his eye and the expression of his countenance exhibited much sagacity, he was of the canine speciesÑa large dogÑa magnificent-looking fellow, who could, the crew declared, for he was a great favourite with them, do everything but talkÑand, they might have added, take a meridional observation, or a lunar.
