What is an example of simile in the novel, The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet?

Examples of Simile:

“You suppose,' Vorstenbosch blinks at Snitker, 'that my integrity is for sale? Like some pox-maggoty harbourmaster on the Scheldt extorting illegal fees from the butter barges?”

“Jacob's pale and freckled skin is frying like bacon.”

“The clerk's heart pounds like a broken pump."
