Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Traitor and Loyalist or the Man Who Found His Country On one of the early days of March in the year 1861, the honest Dutch ship Vredey a big-nosed, wide-bottomed, stump-masted craft, was pounding along in a southwesterly direction off Hatteras. In the judgment of her master the northeaster which came roaring over the taffrail was entitled to be called a gale, so the Vrede was doing the best she could with double reefs in her topsails. She was right in the Gulf Stream, and the northeast wind, squarely against the set of that mighty current, piled up an irregular and curiously uncomfortable sea, so that the Vrede, high and dry and steady as she was in most winds and weathers, fairly wallowed in it. Her master, much too big a man to preserve even the appearance of dignity on deck while his ship indulged in such unwonted antics, was about to retire to his cabin and console himself with a finger or two of raw gin, when the look out sighted a sail off the port quarter; so he fv paused to take a good look at her.
