In it, he has prognosticated events contributory to the building of the city of Bath in western England. I like his works that have a little history in them. This one is sub-titled: A Romance of old Albion. I was pleased to be reading a Ballantyne that wasn't set in North America. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Early one morning, in the year 18 hundred and something, the great Southern Ocean was in one of its calmest moods, insomuch that the cloudlets in the blue vault above were reflected with almost perfect fidelity in the blue hemisphere below, and it was barely possible to discern the dividing-line between water and sky. The only objects within the circle of the horizon that presented the appearance of solidity were an albatross sailing in the air, and a little boat floating on the sea. The boat rested on its own reflected image, almost motionless, save when a slight undulation of the water caused the lower edge of its reflection to break off in oily patches; but there was no dip of oars at its sides, no rowers on its thwarts, no guiding hand at the helm.
