It was emphatically "a dirty night." The barometer had been slowly but persistently falling during the two previous days; the dawn had been red and threatening, with a strong breeze from S.E.; and as the short dreary November day waxed and waned this strong breeze had steadily increased in strength until by nightfall it had become a regular "November gale," with frequent squalls of arrowy rain and sleet, which, impelled by the furious gusts, smote and stung like hail, and cleared the streets almost as effectually as a volley of musketry would have done.

Autorenporträt
Harry Collingwood was an English author best known for his adventure novels, particularly those with maritime themes. He was a prolific writer, producing a wide range of novels, short stories, and travel writings. Many of his works reflect his fascination with the sea and the lives of sailors, often emphasizing bravery, adventure, and moral integrity in the face of danger. Collingwood's works were quite popular during his lifetime, and he became known for his detailed depictions of naval life and shipwrecks, as well as for his well-developed characters who often found themselves in life-or-death situations. His writing style is often direct and focused on action, making his novels appealing to readers who enjoyed adventure stories with strong plots and vivid settings. One of Collingwood's most famous works is Dick Leslie's Luck: A Story of Shipwreck and Adventure, which showcases many of the themes that ran through his writing-survival, resilience, and human endurance. His other notable works include The Pirate Island and The Log of the "Flying Fish", which also explore nautical adventures, often with an emphasis on exciting exploits at sea.
