1 Ralph lay flat and looked up at the palm trees and the sky.
2 A point of gold appeared above the sea and at once all the sky lightened.
3 Simon looked up, feeling the weight of his wet hair, and gazed at the sky.
4 Now the sunlight had lifted clear of the open space and withdrawn from the sky.
5 At midday the illusions merged into the sky and there the sun gazed down like an angry eye.
6 Behind them, on the horizon, was a patch of lighter sky where in a moment the moon would rise.
7 The trickle of smoke sketched a chalky line up the solid blue of the sky, wavered high up and faded.
8 There was a sudden bright explosion and corkscrew trail across the sky; then darkness again and stars.
9 A buffet of wind made him stagger and he saw that he was out in the open, on rock, under a brassy sky.
10 So as the stars moved across the sky, the figure sat on the mountain-top and bowed and sank and bowed again.
11 The maze of the darkness sorted into near and far, and at the high point of the sky the cloudlets were warmed with color.
12 Presently the creepers festooned the trees less frequently and there was a scatter of pearly light from the sky down through the trees.
13 The sky, as if in sympathy with the great changes among them, was different today and so misty that in some places the hot air seemed white.
14 Then, three miles up, the wind steadied and bore it in a descending curve round the sky and swept it in a great slant across the reef and the lagoon toward the mountain.
15 So they sat, the rocking, tapping, impervious Roger and Ralph, fuming; round them the close sky was loaded with stars, save where the mountain punched up a hole of blackness.
16 A sliver of moon rose over the horizon, hardly large enough to make a path of light even when it sat right down on the water; but there were other lights in the sky, that moved fast, winked, or went out, though not even a faint popping came down from the battle fought at ten miles' height.
17 The glittering sea rose up, moved apart in planes of blatant impossibility; the coral reef and the few stunted palms that clung to the more elevated parts would float up into the sky, would quiver, be plucked apart, run like raindrops on a wire or be repeated as in an odd succession of mirrors.
