Usage examples of "sish".

When I stood up, I could see about twenty yards away a larger pan floating amidst the sish, like a great flat raft, and if we could get on to it we should postpone at least for a time the death that already seemed almost inevitable.

But, keenly though I watched, not a streak even of clear water appeared, the interminable sish rising from below and filling every gap as it appeared.
