Two ships have been already lost on these shoals. Cape Branco lies S.W. of Cape Cantin, or rather S. and by W.

"What did you see, Mose, and how did you see it?" asked the preacher. "Ah war a-hidin' behin' de upper big post of de barn gate, an' ah hearn hosses' hoofs beatin' up de road, an' soon de constables cum along wid de prisoners. Wa'n't dem moonshiners mad, do? Jes' as dey war 'proaching de gate Sam Wiles said: 'Dat cantin' preacher has got me 'rested twice now, but he won't do it ag'in.

"He called me a pious, cantin' young one, and said he'd chase me out o' the dooryard if I ever came again! And he'll tell my father I know he will, for he hates him like poison." All at once the adult point of view dawned upon Rebecca.
And those wha escaped knockin on t' yead were aw sold as slaves every mon jock o' them! A strong light of anger showed itself in David's face. 'Then he wor a cantin murderer! Yo mun tell him so!
