The Man Who Laughs Part I, Book the Second, Chapter XII - Face to Face with the Rock

from The Victor Hugo Library · host Victor Hugo

In which a tempest besets a fragile vessel, driving it helplessly towards jagged reefs beneath a faint and faltering lighthouse whose light seems to struggle like a drowning flame. The desperate crew, with courage and cunning, employ a makeshift lever to steer their doomed craft away from destruction, leaving behind the grim, watching rocks and the extinguished beacon to the silent vastness of the sea.
