TREASURE ISLAND 030 – XXIIHow I Began My Sea Adventure – 011

One was the great fire on shore, by which the defeated pirates lay carousing in the swamp.
The other, a mere blur of light upon the darkness, indicated the position of the anchored ship.
She had swung round to the ebb—her bow was now towards me—the only lights on board were in the cabin, and what I saw was merely a reflection on the fog of the strong rays that flowed from the stern window.

The ebb had already run some time, and I had to wade through a long belt of swampy sand, where I sank several times above the ankle, before I came to the edge of the retreating water, and wading a little way in, with some strength and dexterity, set my coracle, keel downwards, on the surface.
