Book Description
Excerpt from Episodes in the Lives of Men, Women, and Lovers Except at high tide in smooth weather there are only two passages along the whole half-mile, and with the wind that blew it would have been madness to try to coast round outside the dangerous reach. The only chance - those who watched the end all agreed that the lost boat was handled as well as boat could be in such a storm - the only chance was for the boat to run straight before the wind and shoot the middle channel in its course. Ten minutes later and this too might have been done: at flood tide a current runs through this channel with a strength of seven miles an hour. The sailors had calculated to a moment the time for reaching the passage when the current was slackest for the ebb, but the fury of the gale had put out their reckoning; under bare poles they had been swept along faster than good sailing speed, and they were at the edge of the surf ten minutes too soon.
