Le flot puissant ramène ainsi vers la petite ville appelée Saint-Ogg, de noirs bâtiments chargés des planches odorantes du sapin, de sacs aux flancs arrondis, pleins de graines oléagineuses, et de monceaux de charbons, noirs diamants qui étincellent au soleil. Entre une colline basse et le bord de l'eau, la petite ville étale ses toits rouges aux pentes rapides, ses entrepôts aux pignons élargis, et sous les pâles rayons d'un soleil de février jette quelques doux reflets roses sur les ondes miroitantes.
