How the two brothers are benighted at sea, in mist and storm, how their broken gaff is found on the beach, their bodies hunted in vain until their coble, laden with salmon, breaks through the morning fog between the scaurs, is, with all the rest of their adventures, told with a simplicity and salt that has not lost its savor for having been used in older classics...
