With a scream, a huge roiling mass poured out of the darkness, a small wicked head poised to strike.

In an instant the yards swung round; and as the ship half-wheeled upon her heel, her three firm-seated graceful masts erectly poised upon her long, ribbed hull, seemed as the three Horatii pirouetting on one sufficient steed.
В одно мгновение реи описали круг, судно развернулось на пятке, и три стройные мачты, прочно и прямо сидящие в длинном круторебром корпусе, качнулись, точно трое Горациев верхом на одном скакуне.
