Synopsis

Excerpt from Men's Tragedies

Just north of the mouth of the Elbe a deso late peninsula stretches out into the gray waters of the North Sea. On a wind-beaten bluff at its extreme end stands a huge squat stone castle, with one square tower rising lonesomely into the air. Behind lie the sand-hills, covered with saw grass and scrub cedars, and further behind, ten English miles away, the long gloomy shore of Holstein stretches north and south in flat storm beaten downs. Looking in the other direction from the castle tower, one's eye travels directly seaward, from the rocky base of the peninsula below to the steel-colored sea-horizon far away.

The great steamers, passing in and out of the Elbe, go by to the south. One can just see the brown reek of their funnels.
