Sinbad the Sailor the hero of one of the tales in the
Arabian Nights, who relates the fantastic adventures he meets with in his voyages; in one of them, he is abandoned on an island where he finds a roc's egg, ‘fifty good paces’ round, and in another he unwisely offers to carry on his back the sheikh who turns out to be the
Old Man of the Sea, and who is only dislodged by a trick.
