Seite 405 - I might lose it overboard in case of a battle, which I had every reason to dread before my return, I therefore furnished myself with...
Seite 411 - I look down again to the fountain with anxiety, when behold them as it were emerging from the blue ether of another world, apparently at a vast distance; at their first appearance, no bigger than flies or minnows; now gradually enlarging, their brilliant colours begin to paint the fluid.
