The Raft |
| Having made a raft from wood taken from the giant mushroom forest |
| With rigging consisting of a mast made of two staves lashed |
| Together, a yard made of a third, and a sail borrowed from their |
| Stock of rugs, they set sail from the harbour — Port Grauben |
| Named after Axel’s fiancee. |
| With a north-westerly wind propelling |
| Them along at about three miles an hour, silvery beams of light |
| Reflected here and there by drops of spray, produced luminous |
| Points in the eddy created by the raft |
| Soon all land was lost to view |
| Five days out to sea, they witnessed a terrifying battle |
| Between two sea monsters. |
| One having the snout of a porpoise, the |
| Head of a lizard, and teeth of a crocodile — an Ichthyosaurus |
| And the other, the mortal enemy of the first, a serpent with a |
| Turtle’s shell, the Plesiosaurus |
