Chapter XXI
FACE TO FACE WITH NIGHT. Again was the hooker running with the shadow into immeasurable darkness. The _Matutina_, escaped from the Caskets, sank and rose from billow to billow. A respite, but in chaos. Spun round by the wind, tossed by all the thousand motions of the wave, she reflected every mad oscillation of the sea.
