Excerpt from Out of the Foam: A Noble
In a stormy night of autumn, a boat, approaching from the open sea, drew rapidly near the coast of Pembrokeshire, the most western of the shires of Wales.
The coast was wild, rock-bound, jutting out into gigantic headlands, and lashed by the restless surges of St. George"s Channel, breaking 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.
