(the sea being + of an extraordinarily dark colour), we again saw land from the + masthead, and, upon a closer scrutiny, found it to be one of a group + of very large islands. The shore was precipitous, and the interior + seemed to be well wooded, a circumstance which occasioned us great + joy. In about four hours from our first discovering the land we came + to anchor in ten fathoms, sandy bottom, a league from the coast, as a + high surf, with strong ripples here and there, rendered a nearer + approach of doubtful expediency. The two largest boats were now + ordered out, and a party, well armed (among whome were Peters and + myself), proceeded to look for an opening in the reef which appeared + to encircle the island. After searching about for some time, we + discovered an inlet, which we were entering, when we saw four large + canoes put off from the shore, filled with men who seemed to be well + armed. We waited for them to come up, and, as they moved with great + rapidity, they were soon within hail. Captain Guy now held up a white + handkerchief on the blade of an oar, when the strangers made a full + stop, and commenced a loud jabbering all at once, intermingled with + occasional shouts, in which we could distinguish the words Anamoo-moo! + and Lama-Lama! They continued this for at least half an hour, during + which we had a good opportunity of observing their appearance. + =head2 v5.20.1 - Lorenzo da Ponte, Così fan tutte L<Announced on 2014-09-14 by Steve Hay|http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2014/09/msg219789.html> |
