Excerpt from The Firing Line
As the wind veered and grew cooler a ribbon of haze appeared above the Gulf-stream.
Young Hamil, resting on his oars, gazed absently into the creeping mist. Under it the ocean sparkled with subdued brilliancy; through it, shoreward, green palms and palmettos turned silvery; and,-as the fog spread, the sea-pier, the vast White hotel, bathing - house, cottage, pavilion, faded to phantoms tinted with rose and pearl.
