<font size="1">The frigate passed at some distance from the Marquesas and the Sandwich Islands, crossed the tropic of Cancer, and made for the China Seas!! For some time past vessels had been met by "an enormous thing," a long object, spindle-shaped, occasionally phosphorescent, and infinitely larger and more rapid in its movements than a whale! I watched the luminous waves that broke over my hand, whose mirror-like surface was spotted with silvery rings; Who calls himself Canadian calls himself French; and, little communicative as Ned Land was, I must admit that he took a certain liking for me. </font><font size="1" color="#FFFFCC">adoptive</font>
