Garstin leaned to the linen-drapery; Garstin inclined to the free library. "Well, I will come down to the North Foreland," said I, "and you shall tell me which way it is." "Yes, if " said Garstin, and stopped. "Yes, if " repeated his wife, with a nod of the head. "Oh! it won't go this winter," said I. And it didn't.
It was about five miles distant; it had a ragged sky line which made it resemble a piece of cliff gone adrift such a fragment of cliff as, let me say, a quarter of a mile of the chalk of the South Foreland would make, if you can imagine a mass of the stuff detaching itself from under the verdure at the top and floating off jagged and precipitous. There was nothing to be seen but that iceberg.
"THURSDAY, 6th MARCH. Afternoon of March 5th, old Admiral Norris, hoping he was at length in something like equality, 'tided it round the South Foreland; saw Roquefeuille hanging, in full tale, within few miles; and at once plunged into him? No, reader; not at once, nor indeed at all.
"A Flotilla to be kept near Margate and Ramsgate, to consist of Gun-boats and Flat-boats; another Squadron to be stationed near the centre, between Orfordness and North Foreland, and the third in Hoseley Bay. The Floating Batteries are stationed in all proper positions for defending the different Channels, and the smaller Vessels will always have a resort in the support of the stationed ships.
She would hesitate at nothing to attract attention: we all know how she took in poor Professor Foreland." "She actually makes him give bridge-teas every Thursday," Mrs. Leveret piped up. Laura Glyde struck her hands together. "Why, this is Thursday, and it's THERE she's gone, of course; and taken Osric with her!" "And they're shrieking over us at this moment," said Mrs.
A bracing heartening air blew from French Foreland And as he was looking spellbound upon the little vessel coming into the mouth of the river, he was startled by a strain of music. It floated, a rumour angelic, upon the air, coming whence he could not guess surely not from the vessel where Black Duncan and two others held the deck alone?
The gale soon burst on the ship, sending nearly all the passengers below, and compelling the Captain to reduce sail. Darkness overspread the scene, and as the night wore on, the gale increased to such a degree that the ship laboured heavily. Soon the lights on the South Foreland were descried and passed in safety. "Get the anchors clear," said the pilot. "Ready about there!"
"Let us not imagine anything so unreasonable. We'll telegraph to hear if all's well at the first moment we can." The storm sent a heavy wash of rain against the side of the carriage. It was a famous tempest, that punished the South of England from Land's End to the North Foreland. They were distracted from their thoughts by the terrific impact of the wind.
It was evident to all of them that the hour for action could not now be far distant; for the gale increased every moment; the light on the South Foreland was already sending its warning rays far and wide over the angry sea, whence the floating lights that mark the sands sent back their nightly greeting, while dark thunderous clouds mantled over the sky and deepened the shades of night which, ere long, completely overspread land and sea.
We saw, as we run along shore, several Villages, cultivated lands, and some of the Natives. In the evening some Canoes came off to the Ship, and one Man came on board to whom we gave a few Trifles and then sent him away. Stood off and on until daylight, and then made sail in shore in order to look into 2 Bays that appear'd to our view about 2 Leagues to the Northward of the Foreland.
