like a pack of hounds; this, however, though fearful in its
boisterousness, was nothing to the terrible games that sometimes
went on round the knees of those giants in stone. Yet it was

give the breakers a still wider berth.
'I wish we had gone by land, sir; 'twould have been surer play,'
said Sol to Mountclere, a cat-and-dog friendship having arisen

highest sea prevailed in Knollsea Bay from the slackening of flood-
tide to the first hour of ebb. At that time the water outside stood
