Excerpt: “The score of men, women, and children, who apart from Tregarthen’s household, made up the sole population of the island, were clustered on the northern rock above the Sea Gate. Tregarthen’s housekeeper, maid, and man-servant were there also, and when he came amongst them they were all staring at the fated ship. Against the opposite rocks she scarcely showed at all, . . . ‘There’s where she’ll break,’ said one old Sea Dog.”
