Thank you for the information. For those interested, a search for 'city in the sky', or 'mirage' or 'optical illusion' can provide much interesting info.

Hi. Over the years I have read most of Innes novels and really like his work. I am not certain but I believe you may be referring to Solomon"s Seal. It describes a search near the Equator for some metal ignots that have been produced by an undersea volcano. It has been a long time since I read it and I may be wrong. Best regards.

I recall a novel by Innes where a former LST skipper is on a calm sea and encounters a mirage-like phenomenon of ghostly waves or breakers of hurricane size as the ship continues on a calm sea.
For some time I have been collecting accounts of mysterious visual effects, both mirage and optical illusion. I remembered this reference and wondered if this was from the author's experience or something he had heard of.
Appreciate any information, title of book, and a more complete and accurate summary of the occurrence.
Thanks
John
