Oh, I knew the game. I lost all interest in explanations. I didn't stop to pick up my precious, unread book.
The river, as the well-known arm of the sea in which the Swash was lying is erroneously termed, was just at that moment unusually clear of craft, and not a sail, larger than that of a boat, was to be seen between the end of Blackwell's Island and Corlaer's Hook, a distance of about a league.
