The
returning
tide
would
not
occur
till
nine
o'clock
in
the
evening
;
and
as
John
Mangles
did
not
care
to
go
on
in
the
dark
,
the
anchorage
was
for
the
night
,
or
at
least
till
five
o'clock
in
the
morning
,
land
being
in
sight
at
a
distance
of
less
than
three
miles
.
A
considerable
swell
raised
the
waves
,
and
seemed
to
set
in
continuously
toward
the
coast
,
and
perceiving
this
,
Glenarvan
asked
John
why
he
did
not
take
advantage
of
this
swell
to
get
nearer
to
the
land
.
"
Your
Lordship
is
deceived
by
an
optical
illusion
,
"
said
the
young
captain
.
"
Although
the
swell
seems
to
carry
the
waves
landward
,
it
does
not
really
move
at
all
.
It
is
mere
undulating
molecular
motion
,
nothing
more
.
Throw
a
piece
of
wood
overboard
and
you
will
see
that
it
will
remain
quite
stationary
except
as
the
tide
affects
it
.
There
is
nothing
for
it
but
patience
.
"
"
And
dinner
,
"
said
the
Major
.
Olbinett
unpacked
some
dried
meat
and
a
dozen
biscuits
.
The
steward
blushed
as
he
proffered
the
meager
bill
of
fare
.
But
it
was
received
with
a
good
grace
,
even
by
the
ladies
,
who
,
however
,
had
not
much
appetite
,
owing
to
the
violent
motion
.
This
motion
,
produced
by
the
jerking
of
the
raft
on
the
cable
,
while
she
lay
head
on
to
the
sea
,
was
very
severe
and
fatiguing
.
The
blows
of
the
short
,
tumbling
seas
were
as
severe
as
if
she
had
been
striking
on
a
submerged
rock
.
Sometimes
it
was
hard
to
believe
that
she
was
not
aground
.
The
cable
strained
violently
,
and
every
half
hour
John
had
to
take
in
a
fathom
to
ease
it
.
Without
this
precaution
it
would
certainly
have
given
way
,
and
the
raft
must
have
drifted
to
destruction
.
John
's
anxiety
may
easily
be
understood
.
His
cable
might
break
,
or
his
anchor
lose
its
hold
,
and
in
either
case
the
danger
was
imminent
.
Night
drew
on
;
the
sun
's
disc
,
enlarged
by
refraction
,
was
dipping
blood-red
below
the
horizon
.
The
distant
waves
glittered
in
the
west
,
and
sparkled
like
sheets
of
liquid
silver
.
Nothing
was
to
be
seen
in
that
direction
but
sky
and
water
,
except
one
sharply-defined
object
,
the
hull
of
the
Macquarie
motionless
on
her
rocky
bed
.
The
short
twilight
postponed
the
darkness
only
by
a
few
minutes
,
and
soon
the
coast
outline
,
which
bounded
the
view
on
the
east
and
north
,
was
lost
in
darkness
.
