Right under Antandros and the mountains of Phrygian Ida we build a fleet, uncertain whither the fates carry us or where a resting-place is given, and gather the people together. Scarcely had the first summer set in, when lord Anchises bids us spread our sails to fortune, and weeping I leave the shores and havens of my country, and the plains where once was Troy.
A strong head wind, meeting this surging tide, is lashing it into a white-capped fury. Soon Cincinnati, shrouded in smoke, has disappeared around the bend, and we are in the fast-thinning suburbs homes of beer-gardens and excursion barges, havens for freight-flats, and villas of low and high degree.
Far havens seemed safest, but against their lure he felt the balance of Buck's comradeship. Caruthersville had a sporting crowd with money, lots of money. The people there were liberal spenders, and they liked a square game better than any other sport in the world. The boat was making good money, big money.
"And as touching means of compassing this purpose, they would conduct him safely through the woods, by the same ways by which they fled, that he should not need to enter their havens with danger, but might come upon their backs altogether unlooked for.
The original Saxon town had its beginnings at Old Shoreham, but, as the harbour silted up, the importance of the new settlement under Norman rule, exceeded all other havens between Portsmouth and Rye. The overlords were the powerful De Braose family, who have left their name and fame over a great extent of the Sussex seaboard.
No other section of the eastern United States has a similar coast, so serrated, indented, and rugged, as has this shore line of the Gulf of Maine. Here the battering by the forces of nature has resulted in making thousands of safe harbors and havens for the navigator.

"No," answered Tilghman; "Fair Havens was always a ready name for sailors finding a good port in trouble." "Thar ain't no good port out thar on the Oushin side now but Monroe's Inlet, outen Jinkotig.
"There can't be many days' travel between me and Fort Havens, and so long as I've got such a horse he knows better than they can how to keep me out of such scrapes " At this juncture he was startled by the action of the mustang. He was walking along, when he began staggering from side to side. Then he paused, as if to steady himself.
"Well, it seemed to me there was sulphur in the air, so I talked for talking," returned the other. "But it was none of it nonsense." "Do you mean to say it was true?" cried Havens "that about the opium and the wreck, and the black-mailing, and the man who became your friend?" "Every last word of it," said Loudon. "You seem to have been seeing life," returned the other.
"I promise you, I am quite unchanged," returned Dodd. "The red tablecloth at the top of the stick is not my flag; it's my partner's. He is not dead, but sleepeth. There he is," he added, pointing to a bust which formed one of the numerous unexpected ornaments of that unusual cabin. Havens politely studied it. "A fine bust," said he; "and a very nice-looking fellow."
