In the ghostly light the foundering vessel gave a strange impression of clinging desperately to her life. She seemed striving to remain upright. Her hissing and sucking might have been a living gasp for breath. Very slowly she rolled over, and came the noise of many waters cascading down over her upflung keel. Her masts crashed, yards broke, rigging popped in the wildest confusion as they dashed into the sea. Great phosphorescent waves dashed through the prone rigging and over the hull in liquid fire.

Excerpt from The Cruise of the Dry Dock "She's movin'!" cried a voice from the crowd on the wharfside. "Watch 'er! Watch 'er!" A dull English cheer rippled over the waterfront. "Blarst if I see why she moves!" marveled an onlooker. "That tug looks like a water bug 'itched to a 'ouse-boat - it's hunreasonable!" "Aye, but they're tur'ble stout, them tugs be," argued a companion. "It's hunreasonable, just the same, 'Enry!" "Everything's hunreasonable at sea, 'Arry. W'y w'en chaps put to sea they tell w'ere they're at by lookin' at th' sun." "Aw! An' not by lookin' at th' map?" "By lookin' at th' sun, 'pon honor!" "Don't try to jolly me like that, 'Enry, me lad; that's more hunreasonable than this." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
