Their navigator informed them that they had orbited the vessel twice, a feat that had taken many hours.

The ship's base was a conventional wooden hull with a deep keel, but upon the deck was a small forest and a stretch of green meadow. On the stern of the ship a tree-shaded mountain rose abruptly.
