Two needle-nosed dark ships coming up fast from behind and already almost in gun range!

The storm looked ready to break in earnest by the time they drew up alongside what seemed to her a huge ship, completely dark.

He saw and heard nothing around the dark ship, which creaked in its dock.

They grew concerned as the dark ship bore down on them.

A dark ship would be hard to follow if that fleck of white had been a Spanish sail.

But its efforts did keep the dark ship in one piece.

But then Cap saw something behind the dark ship and held up a restraining hand.

He patted the dark ship as if it were a pet.

A great dark ship lay at anchor in the cove, without a single light to mark its sinister presence.

He started the dark gray ship up the hill toward the Americans.
