These buoys, so large that they were facetiously called "men" by the punster of the ship, are painted a brilliant scarlet, which makes them a conspicuous feature of the sea-scape. Sometimes a flagstaff and a flag are fastened to the buoy, and often it is converted for the ship's benefit info an extemporaneous lighthouse by the addition of an oil lamp attached to its summit.
If you ever supposed that Macartney was nothing but a solicitor, you were never more mistaken in your life except when you thought that Lucy was a possible law-breaker." At the moment, and from where they stood, the sea-scape and the coast-road stood revealed before and behind them for many a league. In front it descended by sharp spirals to a river-bed.
She doesn't seem so much a woman, you know, as the kind of out-of-doors morning-feelings at the seaside." "Quite! A sort of sea-scape of a woman. With a perfectly sham innocence. Are you as keen on innocence as Manfredi is?" "Innocence?" said Aaron. "It's the sort of thing I don't have much feeling about." "Ah, I know you," laughed the soldier wickedly.
As we stand in the calm genial atmosphere of a summer day, surveying the land and sea-scape from a commanding height that seems to have raised us above the petty cares of life, the eye and mind pass like the lightning-flash from the contemplation of the purple heather and purple plants around and from the home-feelings thereby engendered to the grand, apparently illimitable ocean, and the imagination is set free to revel in the unfamiliar and romantic regions "beyond seas."

"You Astons would have beaten me anyhow," pursued Peter. "I've got nothing old: but the new's the best of its kind." Christopher found this was true. Everything in the house was modern. There was no reproduction, no imitation.
"Killed with one lance! killed with one lance!" yelled Second Mate Gibson. But then he gripped his dignity again and sat down, giving commands in his ordinary tone. Old Tom stood up to glance about the sea-scape: "And now where's that thundering old hooker?" he demanded. "We'll have a fine time pulling this baby to her." But that is what we had to do.
In four hours the sea-scape was finished, and as he stepped back into the window to look at it, he felt that the ray of misty light showing rather on the water than on the air, had effected wonders, and added immensely to the poetry of the picture.
