Those who had heard his statement kept close mouths until the story appeared in full in the Rouen papers on Monday morning; but by that time every member of the Cross-Roads White-Caps was lodged in the Rouen jail with Slattery.
The great cloud-barred disk of the sun stood just above a limitless expanse of tossing white-caps so to speak a billowy chaos of massy mountain domes and peaks draped in imperishable snow, and flooded with an opaline glory of changing and dissolving splendors, while through rifts in a black cloud-bank above the sun, radiating lances of diamond dust shot to the zenith.
We ran out to the buoy and found the Gulf Stream a very dark blue, with a low ripple and a few white-caps here and there. Above the spindle we began to see sailfish jumping everywhere. One leaped thirteen times, and another nineteen. Many of them came out sidewise, with a long, sliding plunge, which action at first I took to be that made by a feeding fish.
In the woods, on her left, she knew there were rocks splashed with stain black as ink and crusted with old lichens. On her right white-caps were running before the west wind and diving like ducks on the strait. She crossed the threads of a brook ravelling themselves from density. For the forest was a mask.
We thought they had at first, but everybody's about come to believe it was those two devils that he had arrested yesterday." "Not the Cross-Roads!" echoed Minnie, and she began to tremble violently. "Haven't they been out there yet?" "What use? They are out of it, and they can thank God they are!" "They are not!" she cried excitedly. "They did it. It was the White-Caps. We saw them, Helen and I."

The breeze had stiffened to a slow strong wind and the dull-grey level of the sea was whipped into white-caps. Agnes bent towards Ethel.
Greatly agitated by the nocturnal storm, the sea was a mass of white-caps to the very horizon, and steep crests of long breakers were rolling in regularly and breaking on the flat shore, I approached it, and walked along the very line left by the ebb and flow on the yellow, ribbed sand, strewn with fragments of trailing seawrack, bits of shells, serpent-like ribbons of eel-grass.
The bride supplied the needs of his wardrobe with the garments of her former husband, and, alleging this proceeding as the cause of their anger, the Cross-Roads raiders, clad as "White-Caps," broke into the farmhouse one night, looted it, tore the old man from his bed, and compelling his wife, who was tenderly devoted to him, to watch, they lashed him with sapling shoots till he was near to death.
A strong wind was racing in from the east, giving the captain a busy time in handling the boat. This was still more difficult when they reached the channel, and the Roaring Bess drove into the rougher water which is always found there. The white-caps leaped high, and drenched both man and boy. "Lucky we brought our oil-skins," the captain remarked.
