TREASURE ISLAND 032 – XXIVThe Cruise of the Coracle – 010

For the last little while I had even lost, but now redoubling my efforts, I began once more to overhaul the chase.

I was not a hundred yards from her when the wind came again in a clap; she filled on the port tack and was off again, stooping and skimming like a swallow.

My first impulse was one of despair, but my second was towards joy.
Round she came, till she was broadside on to me—round still till she had covered a half and then two thirds and then three quarters of the distance that separated us.
I could see the waves boiling white under her forefoot.
Immensely tall she looked to me from my low station in the coracle.

And then, of a sudden, I began to comprehend.
