They also generously offered to give us all the bags of gold nuggets--some of them as large as a goose's egg--that we were willing to attempt to take with us in our little fishing-boat.

We made ready and hoisted our sail, but there was little breeze. We were becalmed within an hour after our giant friends had left us and started on their return trip.
