Excerpt from Sailors and Saints, Vol. 1 of 2: Or, Matrimonial ManoeuvresA strange sail, by all that 's brave -exclaimed old Captain Crank, as he had adjusted to his eye a favourite Dollond's day-and-mght telescope, which was handsomely mounted in the one] window of one of the most compact neat cottages that graced the picturesque banks of the river Dart. Erected on rather an abrupt eminence above the cliff, this rural retreat commanded an almost boundless view of the English channel on three sides, save where it was intercepted, on the west, by the bold projection of the Start Point, a headland so often hailed With delight, as the harbinger of home, by the returning wanderer of the wave.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
