From page 71 of Queequeg's Odyssey by Quen Cultra
Within minutes, we heard a faint splashing on both sides of the boat. I beamed a flashlight into the water and to my horror, found it teeming with thousands of sea snakes, each about two feet long, attracted to the light of the lantern. We stuffed rags into the scupper holes and hoped none would crawl aboard.
What's a scupper?
ReplyDeleteThis sounds more action packed than I imagined.
a scupper is the part of the boat that lets water drain off the deck. it's a little opening cut into the side. imagine it kinda like a gutter that let's the water drain off the roof of your house. same kind of concept.
