It was a beautiful sight; the waters were calm, each boat was ornamented with the Hawaiian flag, the royal standard fluttered from that of the king, and as we coasted along the shores, we could see the people on the land following our course and interested in our progress; there were, I think, twelve boats in all.
I simply picked this line because of the image it created in my head, while reading this was the only line that actually made me stop and painted a visual picture. The way she describes the water makes me envision looking at the beautiful blue water and seeing the boats pass by with their Hawaiian flag flowing and for some reason I can just picture the people standing along the shore almost in awe to see their king float past them. This line reminded me the times I had been to Hawaii and how amazing the ocean is, which just helped me envision this picture even better. The use of imagery in this line is amazing.
