Excerpt from The Dancer in Yellow, Vol. 1 of 2
When the stormy winds do blow, when the crested billows are chasing one another up or down the gray English Channel, and when many a saddened yachtsman is driven to doubt Whether, after all, it is such very good fun to play at being a sailor, there is no more snug and comfortable haven round these coasts to run for than Dartmouth. Sheltered on all sides by those abrupt, wooded hills between which the Dart flows placidly, with depth enough of water to float an ironclad, yachtsmen and others may drop anchor, may smile at the gales roaring out seawards overhead, and may await better times, while appreciating the tranquil beauty of immediate surroundings. Vol. I. I.
