Ebook The Founding of a Nation

During this night the soft winds swerved from the mildness into a chill that made me shiver under my rugs and sent crystals Of ice ?oating upon the harbor. After a fearful night I decided I would go ashore if for no other reason than that I might get out Of the cold. The ship, being well unloaded, rolled heavily in the seas. One Of the men coming in, a cold blast swept through the door making my teeth chatter. This cold left me undaunted for I had made up my mind I would go as soon after breakfast as possible.
