Fanned me , while passing under , as I lay On the &utreaching spar . I sprang upon niiri ^ Maddening for rapid motion . To the Face ' Of the blue glassy ocean downward plunged \ The btrdkrid h 5 s mad grasper . Through the deep A silvery brightness tracked us , till the fprfce \ . Of buoyant water checked our farther way , And bade us mount again . The emerald li g ht Was darkened o ' er us , and my feathered prey .

Before the storm-blast on the vessel flew , Hopeless of any shore . Her sails were gone . And hunger-palsied men held no control Over frfcf course . She reeled and pitched at will ; AH unclean things were eaten , and the men Glared horribly . Then murder did its work , To earn one draught of water . Lots were cast—I cttutdhptdie ! * ? « 4 * m * The yawning timbers groaned upon the rocks . And , one by one , the men were shaken off , And swept away beneath the breaking surf , Which wreaked its rage on its o v ertaken prey ; A boat \ tks launched , but on the stern I sate , And bade them leave me to rny fate . That boat The rushing waves devoured , and hone were left The morning came , the storm had passed away .
