www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/17045 Credits: Produced by Peter O'Connell *** START OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK IN THE ROARING FIFTIES *** Produced by Peter O'Connell IN THE ROARING FIFTIES By EDWARD DYSON 1906 I THE night was bright and cool, and the old East Indiaman moved slowly on the heaving bosom of the ocean, under a strong full moon, like a wind-blown ghost to whose wanderings there had been no beginning and could be no end--so small, so helpless she seemed between the two infinities of sea and sky. There was no cloud to break the blue profundity of heaven, no line of horizon, no diversity in the long lazy roll of the green.
