Excerpt from The Ocean Rovers, or Two Cabin Boys
The sun had disappeared from sight, but the radiance of its setting still tinged the ragged cliffs of Cape Cerberus with a thousand varied hues.
This rocky giant, the advance sentry of the Pyrenees, guards the French and Spanish frontier. The waves of the Mediterranean bathe its tremendous spur, while its jagged peaks extend to the Alberes Mountains, dividing Roussillon from Catalonia.
