Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Haven Within the unfinished breakwater, where it stretched - waiting for some strong man to wake goodwill between State and people, and so complete it - there floated half a hundred fishing ketches at their moorings. The ´Jack and Lydia,´ a fine dandy-rigged trawler of fifty tons, rode among them; but while the other vessels were mostly manned and about to sail, this one showed no sign of human life or activity. Her canvas was down and stowed. All was snug aboard. Only a row of gulls sat along her trawl beam, stretched their wings over their claws, preened their neck feathers, and chattered among themselves. A little square of black cloth shivered half-mast high on the ´Jack and Lydia´; and men in other ships marked the mourning flag and expressed regret at the cause as they passed her. The ´True Vine´ and the ´Silver Spray,´ the ´Gratitude,´ the ´Alpha,´ and the ´Ocean´s Gift´ cast off moorings and slipped away under their ochre-coloured sails to sea. The ´Try It,´ the ´Pilgrim,´ the ´May Queen,´ the ´Provider´ followed; and from the inner harbour came dinghy after dinghy with the crews of other trawlers.
