Excerpt from List, Ye Landsmen, Vol. 3 of 3: A Romance of Incident
After a troublesome spell of stormy weather there happened a fine afternoon; and when the evening drew around, the shadow was richer in stars than any tropic night I ever beheld. The wind was light; the ocean breathed in a long swell from the north; the atmosphere was frosty, but sweet and comfortably endurable.
We had sent down our royal-yards, yet to-night was a night for royals and studding - sails a night to be made the most of. The ocean was off guard, asleep, and easily might we have stolen past the slumbering sentinel, clothed from truck to waterway in the tall, wide wings we had expanded in the north.
