We were a mile or more away I am a very uncertain judge of distance but we could see distinctly the clouds of birds, glittering white sea-gulls, blowing hither and thither above the wild little continent where were their nests. There are thousands and thousands of gulls on Lundy.
MacKelvey's heavy voice came to him again from Leland's study. He dressed swiftly, his eyes glittering.
