NONE of them knew the color of the sky. Their eyes glanced level, and

were fastened upon the waves that swept toward them. These waves were of the

hue of slate, save for the tops, which were of foaming white, and all of the

men knew the colors of the sea. The horizon narrowed and widened, and dipped

and rose, and at all times its edge was jagged with waves that seemed thrust

up in points like rocks.

Many a man ought to have a bath-tub larger than the boat which here rode

upon the sea. These waves were most wrongfully and barbarously abrupt and

tall, and each froth-top was a problem in small boat navigation.

The cook squatted in the bottom and looked with both eyes at the six

inches of gunwale which separated him from the ocean. His sleeves were

rolled over his fat forearms, and the two flaps of his unbuttoned vest

dangled as he bent to bail out the boat. Often he said: "Gawd! That was a

narrow clip." As he remarked it he invariably gazed eastward over the broken

sea.

Stephen Crane (November 1, 1871 – June 5, 1900) was an American poet, novelist, and short story writer. Prolific throughout his short life, he wrote notable works in the Realist tradition as well as early examples of American Naturalism and Impressionism. He is recognized by modern critics as one of the most innovative writers of his generation.

The ninth surviving child of Methodist parents, Crane began writing at the age of four and had several articles published by 16. Having little interest in university studies though he was active in a fraternity, he left Syracuse University in 1891 to work as a reporter and writer. Crane's first novel was the 1893 Bowery tale
