All this seemed inconsistent with the thing itself, and with all the notions we usually entertain of the subtlety of the devil.
Էջ 50 - I swam on board in them and my stockings : however, this put me upon rummaging for clothes, of which I found enough, but took no more than I wanted for present use, for I had other things which my eye was more upon...
Էջ xviii - he is a middle.sized, spare man, about forty years old, of a brown complexion, and dark-brown coloured hair, but wears a wig ; a hooked nose, a sharp chin, grey eyes, and a large mole near his mouth...
Էջ 44 - I got upon my feet, and endeavoured to make on towards the land as fast as I could, before another wave should return and take me up again ; but I soon found it was impossible to avoid it ; for I saw the sea coming after me as high as a great hill, and as furious as an enemy, which I had no means or strength to contend with...
