The Merman's Children, VII.
When the black cog, Herning, hired by the halflings, stands out of Mariager Fjord, Poul Anderson describes:
receding hills;
clear day;
dazzling sun;
glittering waves;
skirling wind;
thrumming rigging;
creaking timbers;
surging cutwater;
mewing gulls;
snowstorm-like wings;
smells of salt and tar blowing around.
A well-described scene, as ever. That is short but all that we have time for this evening. Next, other reading and bed. Tomorrow, gym and Gregson. Ever onward.

Kaor, Paul!
Readers can also make good list descriptions from Stirling's books.
