Excerpt from The Stake

In the distance lie isolated masses of rock, which seem to have moved out from the shore, like scouts, to receive the first shock of attack from their eternal foe: the Sentinel, the Hound, the Jaw-bone, each has its name, famous in many local traditions. Woe betide the mariner who attempts to sail these seas, unless he know well the many perils of rock and shoal which beset his course at every turn. Indeed, few venture in these waters, save the handful of fishermen, who, for genera tions, from father to son, have sailed in and out of the cove, and followed these invisible pathways, guided by that same instinct which enables a landsman to walk fearlessly in the dark through the familiar passages of his dwelling-place.
