His wife, however,\u003cbr\u003ewas by no means so easy in her mind, for it was only during the\u003cbr\u003eequinoctial gales and an unusually high tide that their home was lifted\u003cbr\u003efrom its moorings; and now it had been swinging and swaying for hours,\u003cbr\u003eand the rusty chains that held it fast to some posts were creaking and\u003cbr\u003estraining as though the next gust of wind would certainly carry them out\u003cbr\u003eto sea or drive them up the river, where they would inevitably be\u003cbr\u003eswamped in a very short time, for their boat-home was leaky at the\u003cbr\u003ebottom--had been a water-logged boat before the fisherman took\u003cbr\u003epossession of it and turned it into a quaint-looking cottage by running\u003cbr\u003eup some wooden walls along the sides, and roofing it in with planks and\u003cbr\u003etarpaulin. Thus converted into a dwelling-house, the boat had been\u003cbr\u003esecured, by four chains fixed to posts in the ground, on the top of a\u003cbr\u003emud-bank that formed the boundary of the mouth of the river.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ocean itself was less than a quarter of a mile from where the old\u003cbr\u003eboat was moored, and so the poor woman might well be excused for growing\u003cbr\u003emore alarmed as the minutes went on and the gale increased, until the\u003cbr\u003eboat fairly rocked, and the children in the adjoining cabin began crying\u003cbr\u003eand screaming in their fright.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Coomber! Coomber!\" she said at last, shaking her husband, and starting\u003cbr\u003eup in bed; for a sound more dreadful than the children's screams had\u003cbr\u003emade itself heard above the din of the wind and waves.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47082381639920,"sku":"2940013225008","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013225008_p0.jpg?v=1763578579","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013225008","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
