Anotace knihy

Excerpt from The Magnet: A Romance The big schooner-yacht Shark lay peacefully at anchor in Shoal Harbour, Maine. At her taffrail the National Yacht Ensign aired itself lazily in the land-breeze; from fore- and main-trucks fluttered the pennant of the N. Y. Yacht Club and the burgee of Captain Eliphalet Bell, U.S.N., retired. A solid old seafaring tub was the Shark, built some time back in the seventies, when, no doubt, she had been a tremendous swell. She was square in the jowls, pug-nosed, paunch-bellied, with a stern like a coach-horse, and there was a break from her quarter-deck to the waist, and a high, t'gallant forecastle. Solid timber she was... or at least looked to be, though a gimlet might have shown differently... and what ballast she had was inside her and not jerking away at the keel in frantic efforts to whip out her spars. For a yacht of her size the Shark probably carried the smallest crew on record, modern doubleaction hand-winches and other labour-saving devices being installed about her decks.
