Nearly a century ago a scoffer named Reynolds declared that he would run his plough through the enchanted boundary, and the neighbors watched the attempt from a distance. He started well, but on arriving at the magic circle the plough shied and the wooden landside or chip, as it was called came off. It was replaced and the team started again.
The poor unhappy victims were surprised in the midst of their sleep, and had neither time nor power to make any resistance; men, women, and children, in all upward of twenty, ran out of their tents stark naked, and endeavoured to make their escape; but the Indians having possession of all the landside, to no place could they fly for shelter.
It is not the stones I hear, but the entombed voices of earlier primitive selves far back in my dim past; those, and the call of the boy I was yesterday, whose landside toes still turn in, perhaps, from walking in the furrow. When that call comes, no "Towered cities please us then And the busy hum of men," or of automobiles. I must plough. It is the April wind that wakes the call
Just such another time as preceded Coppinger's arrival, burst again on that coast; the rain and hail came down in sheets, the gale blew furiously all day. At sunset a vessel appeared off the coast full-rigged. Presently a rocket went up from the Gull Rock, a little rock island with a creek on the landside, a spot where many smugglings had taken place.
