Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Out of the Foam: A Noble
The coast was wild, rock-bound, jutting out into gigantic headlands, and lashed by the restless surges of St. George's Channel, break ing with a hollow murmur on dangerous reefs. At the point which the boat approached, the loftiest of these headlands rose precipitously from the foam; at its foot grinned the jagged teeth of rocks which had wrecked many a vessel; and in the cavernous recesses the long bellow of the waves was mingled with the shrill scream of the sea-fowl.
The boat was rowed by four men. And in the stern stood a fifth personage wrapped in a cloak.
The stars, glittering from moment to mo ment, between the masses of black cloud, scarce revealed the dusky figures; but all at once there shot up from the headland, towering at a dizzy height above, a pillar of ?ame, which threw its crimson glare far out upon the waves of the channel.
