| Immediately in front of them arose a vast cliff,--black, rocky, frowning,--that ascended straight up from the deep water, its summit lost in the thick fog, its base white with the foaming waves that thundered there. A hoarse roar came up from those breaking waves, which blended fearfully with the whistle of the wind through the rigging, and seemed like the warning sound of some dark, drear fate. The cliff was close by, and the schooner had been steering straight towards it. So near was it that it seemed as though one could have easily tossed a biscuit ashore. |

| A thrilling tale filled with adventure and excitement. Originally published in 1870, it relates the experiences of a group of men during a sea voyage and their struggle for survival against the forces of nature. De Mille has brilliantly captured the emotions of his characters, especially their fears and joys. Vivid descriptions and a racy plot add further flavour to the story. A real page-turner! |
