It was twelve o'clock before he found the Candid, lying among the grim warehouses near the Tower, and he observed her deserted appearance with some anxiety as he went on board. At first he saw no one on deck, but presently discovered a sailor leaning over the bul warks, smoking. The Professor approached, and in his most courteous manner h...

Excerpt from The Gael The time had now come when he must buy his ticket and voyage away into the unknown. Though the adventure of such a step would have kindled in him a feeling of excitement, would perhaps have made him dream of strange happenings, and would have produced in him when he woke in the morning that intangible and indefinite sense of something impending which comes to us all at times in the first moments of consciousness after sl...
