Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Water Witch; Or the Skimmer of the Seas, Vol. 3 of 3: A Tale
The night had advanced into the first watch Of the seamen. Theshadow-of the mountain, however, still covered the grounds of the villa, the river, and the shores of the Atlantic, with a darkness that was deeper than the obscurity which dimmed the surface of the rolling ocean beyond. Objects were so indistinct as to require close and Steady looks to ascertain their cha racter, while the setting Of the scene might be faintly traced by its hazy and indistinct Outlines. The curtain's of la Cour des Fees had been drawn, and though the lights were still shining within, the eye could not penetrate the pavilion. Ludlow gazed about him, and then-held his Way reluctantly towards the water. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
