Wild in white vapour flew away the force,

And self-arrested was the eager course

That had not ceased before. But shortly now

Cape Race was made to starboard on the bow.

The paddles plied. I slept. The following night

In the mid seas we saw a quay and light,

And peered through mist into an unseen town,

And on scarce-seeming land set one companion down,

And went. With morning and a shining sun,

Under the bright New Brunswick coast we run,
