In The Marquesas.
It Was About Three O'Clock Of A Winter'S Afternoon In tai-O-Hae, The
French Capital And Port Of Entry Of The Marquesas Islands. The Trades
Blew Strong And Squally; The Surf Roared loud On The Shingle Beach; And
The Fifty-Ton Schooner Of War, That Carries The Flag And Influence Of
France About The Islands Of The Cannibal Group, Rolled at Her Moorings
Under Prison Hill. The Clouds Hung Low And Black On The Surrounding
Amphitheatre Of Mountains; Rain Had Fallen Earlier In the Day, Real
Tropic Rain, A Waterspout For Violence; And The Green And Gloomy Brow Of
The Mountain Was Still Seamed with Many Silver Threads Of Torrent.
