Explain --

The water like a witch's oil burnt green, blue and white

it just means dat as d witch's oil changes colour in d same way d sea's water was also changing colour from tym to tym. As it was too hot it was boiling also. The colour change was described as green due to d slimy creatures of d sea, blue coz its d natural colour of water, n white due to the foam formed by d bubbling water.

At night when the fishes were coming from & going back into the water , due to the phospherent light generated by the sea fish in the moonlight, it appears that the death fires where dancing in the form of dance in reel and Rout. Then again due to this phospherent effect, seawater in that night seemed to change its colour from Green to blue and then the white. As it was changing its colour it has been compared with the witche's oil which changes its colour All these expression show that the mariners were superstitious and taking this of natural phenomenon as an omen
