Excerpt from The Picaroon, Vol. 1 of 3: Or, the Merchant Smuggler; A Tale of the Sea
Hush! Whispered the young maiden, to whom the old quaker (for such he was) had addressed these somewhat untimely words, for they implied alarm that might be ground less.

It sounds again - a smothered moan, and clearly from the boat; but surely not uttered by either of the four who row so strongly and so eagerly - and yet how strange, for I cannot see a fifth.
