“Meanwhile, he rowed on, with long, leisurely strokes; and the lapping of the water round the oars was the only sound to be heard.”
“Beneath it, suspended by cables that appeared no thicker than gossamer, dangled a structure like a boat with many short oars; Silk's lungs had filled and emptied before he realized that the oars were the barrels of guns, and half a minute crept by before he made out the blood-red triangle on its bottom.”
“Those on the oars were a combination of slaves and free men working for hire.”
“Lost in the sound of the oars was the last farewell of the Pilgrims.”
