Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Marcus Molbeach´s Daughter The March afternoon sun shone undimmed by cloud-drift above the dormant white North-land. On the rounded hills that sheltered the bay from the outer Gulf, the bronze-green, primeval forest rose somberly, rank on rank against the crystal-clear sky, but over the fields fringing their base, the snow stretched unscarred by snake-fences, or clearing stumps. Winter was nearing its end, and such traces of man´s handiwork had long since been covered by successive snow-falls. Below the bluff lay the Basin, a solid white plain, only marked by black lines of balises, rows of small spruce trees set up at the beginning of every winter to trace the safest track for man and beast to cross the ice. The tides of the outer bay were also frost-bound, and even from the heights of Cap Rosier, the steep headland fifteen miles out, nothing save solid ice or floes could be seen along the Gaspe coast, and northward toward Anticosti, hidden in its wintry isolation. It was now four months since the lights on Cap Rouge or Gaspe Head had shone out nightly. The perils of the sea were in abeyance since winter had warned off all trespassers upon her domain.
