Excerpt from Murder at SeaAbout thirty little children had, been laid out, their bodies cold and still. Near by were scores of silent women, beautiful with the beauty of death, and in other parts of the hall strong men slept the last sleep. The hall had been trans formed into a sepulchre of death. A sudden emergency had made the change necessary. News had come to the town that a splendid ship had sunk and that bodies were being brought ashore. Very soon the townspeople had every thing prepared for the reception of their dumb, unresponsive guests. Those quiet figures walk ing quietly up and down, I was told, were men and'women searching for their loved ones husbands looking for wives and wives for husbands, sisters for brothers and brothers for sisters, mothers endeavouring through their tears to recognise in one or other of the silent forms little boy or girl whose merry laughter would never again bring sunshine into their lives.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
