The Second Wife, Vol. 3 of 3 ~ Paperback ~ Unknown Author

Excerpt from The Second Wife, Vol. 3 of 3: A Novel The evening set in gloomily. It was one of those vapoury, hazy atmospheres which occasionally succeed a showery day in summer. The last yellow rays of the sun had come dissolved in fog, and as the night advanced, it thickened. The damp, chilly deck was soon deserted for the close atmosphere of the saloon. Very early the ladies' cabin was at rest; and hour after hour diminished the number of wakeful revellers who were enacting a tavern scene in the larger apartment. Presently, all sounds had subsided, but the calls of the sailors, an occasional word of command, and, once or twice, the bark of the watch-dog on deck.
