kule

Sort som midnat, sort som kul, mere sort end det dybeste hul.

Black as midnight, black as pitch, blacker than the foulest witch.

De, der var hjemme, sled i minerne for at forsyne skibene med kul.

Those that were allowed to stay manned the pits, mining the coal that would fuel the ships.

Lancaster et hul i sandet, smed nogle kul ned i til hummerne og majsene, som han havde medbragt, og så spiste vi som konger.

Mr. Lancaster dug a pit in the sand, loaded in some coals to roast the lobster and the corn he had brought, and we just ate like kings.
