and the tumble-down gates of the fortress . They had employment , I had none . I bathed , breakfasted , and walked upon the shore ; to eat , drink , sleep , and smoke made up the sum total of my diversions . But that I was gifted with powers of progression , I mi g ht have been an oyster .
One day as usual I strolled upon the beach . The season was spring-time , the sky bright , the sea like a mirror . Nothing ever broke the stillness that reigned around Fort Needham ; it lay off the high-road , no one came to iteven the fishing-boats
, avoided the bay because of the shoal water . With my g lass I swept the horizon , now and again examining the sea-gulls or a faroff sail .
