Source-grounded excerpt

izon down on the New South Wales Coast, somewhere in the mists of my past. But in Allambee's days there were different things everywhere. Whether of the animal world or the plant world or of the spirit world the aborigines were not clear, and from what they said, | believe that it was of the spirit world, for their belief in magic from above nature, and the supernatural in all things, was pathetically great. The sky became brilliant. The sea was whitey-grey with specks of flashing silver coming from the sun to a wide mark just behind the breakers. These specks danced like shaking beads. Away to the north the sea was calm and flat.

The excerpt is presented as public-source context. Terminology belongs to the cited source and may be historical, contested, culturally specific, or outdated.
