More of the wonderful Doris eckey riddles, which highlight some apparently contradictory properties of elements and their compounds to confuse and amuse.

Riddle 1
An active sailor, yet seldom free,
An old salt, Peter, afire in the sea,
Near noble, yet base and prone to lie,
Purple with rage when excited am I.
