Excerpt from Kidnapped by Cannibals There was not much Of the ocean to be seen from the door of the cottage where the farmer's wife stood, for green hills, wooded on the top with weird-looking pine trees, rose up on two sides, forming a kind of glen, every foot Of which was under cultivation, and affording just a triangular glimpse Of blue water, that went broadening upwards, with here and there a brown boat on its surface, till sea kissed sky, and you could not have told where the one began or the other ended.
