Sheila was as much a stranger to Ida May as she had been to the Balls when Tunis had brought her to Wreckers' Head.
Then he told the shipwreck to an audience now breathless and imagine the astonished interest with which Julia and Edward listened to this stranger telling them the new strange story of their own father! and lastly, the attempt of the two French wreckers and assassins, and how it had been baffled. And so the mythical cash was tracked to Boulogne.
The house and its small fields of low, arable land were environed on three sides by dense cedar and whortleberry swamps, but on the eastern boundary of the farm the broad salt marshes opened to the view, and beyond their limit were the salt waters of the bay, which were shut in from the ocean by a long, narrow, sandy island, known to the fishermen and wreckers as Long Beach, the low, white sand-dunes of which were lifted above the horizon, and seemed suspended in the air as by a mirage.

"Yes we've got 'em to get!" agreed Blake. "No slip-up this time."
