The Voyages of Sindbad (36)
As for us, when he was gone we made haste to leave the fatal castle, and, stationing ourselves beside our rafts, we waited to see what would happen.
Our idea was that if, when the sun rose, we saw nothing of the Giant, and no longer heard his howls, which still came faintly through the darkness, growing more and more distant, we should conclude that he was dead, and that we might safely stay upon the island and need not risk our lives upon the frail rafts.
But alas !
Morning light showed us our enemy approaching, suported on either hand by two giants nearly as large and fearful as himself, while crowd of others followed close upon their heels.
Hesitating no longer, we clambered upon our rafts and rowed with all our might out to sea.
