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. |
