Capitolo 8
suspended safety belts above from the staircase of companion, and it had half flung a dozen
of them, one after the other, with hasty but it well-aimed throws, far far
to stern, in the direction where Felix had disappeared in the black
water. The belts were painted whites, and they showed for some second,
as they fell, as the bright dots on the surface of the darkling sea; then
them slowly sunk behind as the great ship, still not completely he stopped,
ploughed before his/her way with gigantic strength in the great abyss of
the obscurity in front of her.
It also seemed, but one minute in the observatories on axle, of forehead to a party of
sailors, summoned by the whistle with that promptness of marvellous to meet
some emergency that has made the long experience of sudden danger
usual among men of sea, you/he/she had lowered the boat and him sat
on the it opposes, and it grabbed their oars, and you/he/she was getting in progress on
their search without hope of search, through the black and weak night, for those
two slow souls alone in the mean of the angry Pacific.
It seemed but one minute or two, I say me, to the observatories on axle; but oh,
that that an eternity of time to Felix Thurstan, fighting there against his
alive load in the water that boils!
He had thrown in the ocean that was dark but it heats with tropical
you heat, and you/he/she had succeeded, despite the heavy seas that race then, in
Muriel that arrives that clung to him now with all seizing him to him fierce of
you despair, and it prevented his/her movement through that water whirling. More than
what, he saw the white safety belts that the flung of the sailors verse him; them
it was well and properly flung, in the inspiration of the moment to allow for
the sea same that brings them on the crest of his/her waves toward the two
creatures that you/they drown. Felix separately saw them, and making a great lunge
as they passed, despite the struggles of Muriel that sadly they prevented his
movements, he succeeded in grabbing to anybody less that three in front of the great one
raise to waves, while rolling on, it transported forever away them on his/her top from him.
