Strange birds on the wing, some of which poise in the air and sleep, are now darting hither and thither. Reverently speaking, the housekeepers of the firmament have unfolded a day spread over the bed of stars, and they are covered for the day. A narrow, pale yellow ribbon of faintest hue slowly unrolls low down along the edge of the sea and begins to widen. The quiet waters seem to catch a new life as the spirit of the new day stretches over them. You may see a few clouds breaking to make way for the great luminary, soon to arrive. Her little finger is the signal of her nearness, and a multitude of sea birds dart about, andonc may almost hear the fluttering of their wings as they welcome their great mother for whom they form an escort as she marches majestically along the lustrous pathway she makes for herself, step by step, over the deep sea. Even a blind man by feeling can see the won drous marvels of the sunrise at sea.
