Synopsis
Excerpt from The Devil's Chaplain
The sea-snake had been cruising about the coast for a week or more now awaiting just such an afternoon. On any usual day so unusual a craft would have crowded even the usually deserted northwest beach where the Giant's Jaws were absolutely unnavigable save for this hour of five and the one following when the current ran swiftly and the tide was at its height.
