Jury-Law books

There were also several
scrapbooks filled with newspaper clippings of nautical wonders--many of
these clipped from New Bedford and Newport papers which at one time
were particularly rich in whalers' yarns.
Interested in skimming these wonderful stories, Lou Grayling spent most
of the afternoon. Here was a fund of entertainment for rainy days--or
wakeful nights, if she chanced to suffer such. She carried one of the
scrapbooks into her bedroom that it might be under her hand if she
desired such amusement.
In arranging her possessions in closet and bureau, she found no time on
this first day at Cap'n Abe's store to stroll even as far as The
Beaches; but the next morning she got up betimes, as soon as Cap'n
Amazon himself was astir, dressed, and ran down and out of the open
back door while her uncle was sweeping the store.
The sun was but then opening a red eye above the horizon. The ocean,
away out to this line demarcating sea and sky, was perfectly flat.
Unlike the previous dawn, this was as clear as a bell's note.
