On the neighboring island, the
clouds may be seen trailing down
the mountain sides, suggestive of :
the ethereal garments of a lost soul
seeking refuge and peace. Nearby,
the gray sullen channel carries
clumps of driftwood, on which are
perched those proud scavengers, the
seagulls. With their prim grey and
white plummage, they remind one
of so many Quaker ladies, bent on
an excursion. Occasionally an in-
truding tugboat interrupts their
course, which is’ immediately re-
