It was Frank who had shouted "Land! " in tones of stentorian salutation. / Standing erect upon the poop, he had thought he could see vague outlines / of a coast through a rift in the fog.

Close upon ten minutes passed before he caught another glimpse to the / northward. He slid to the foot of the mast.
