Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Buccaneer, Vol. 1 of 3: A Tale
It was difficult to account for the motive that could have induced any mariner to land upon so unpropitious a spot, hemmed in as it was on every side, and apparently affording no outlet but that by which they had entered - the track less and illimitable ocean. Without a moment's deliberation, however, the steersman, who had guided his boat into the creek, sprang lightly to the shore: another followed; while the third, fold ing himself in the capacious cloak his leader had thrown off, resumed his place, as if resolved to take his rest, at least for a time.
