She takes the tide around Fort Point and Stile-mans Rocks; the wind is still asleep ; the sun, bringer of the softmorning breeze, is not up ; though Whales Back Light ))egins topale against the morning red. In the far east the sun is suddenlyborn, large, amorphous, with no splendor in his beams as the wind of the west springs up at the same moment,brightening his face, tilling the sails of the little vessel almostinstantly.
