Excerpt from The Rice Mills of Port Mystery
To make sure that this favored strip gets the full benefit of this, a mighty wall of earth bounds it at the proper distance from the sea, and midway between, to give variety of climate, is placed a lesser wall on which stand mighty sentinels at regular intervals. The day was when these sentinels bore torches lighting up the whole coast from the torrid to the frigid zone, brilliant enough to guide by night vessels hundreds of miles at sea. But no commerce was ever so guided, for, because of man's pro crastination in making use of them, or his precociousness in inventing a substitute, these lights were extinguished long before vessels visited this shore, of which we have any record.
