land rose

To the left of the cove the land rose, forming small hills, behind which appeared the continuation of the cocoa-nut groves.

Far across the water of the bay before them the land rose again in a precipice steep as the one on whose edge they stood.

Wheat rose to famine prices, and the value of land rose in proportion with the price of wheat.

As the land rose in nine roundish points, which seamen call hummocks, this place was named Nine Hummock Bay.

To the north the land rose gently, and green fields, dotted here and there with white houses, stretched away for miles.
