he didn't hurry it would soon be dark. And his father would be waiting for the bait. First of all he had said to his mother that he wouldn't go to the ebb. The mood had e on him to be very stubborn. It was a shame that he should have to go to the ebb, with the other boys playing football. The injustice of it had hit him strongly. His father had said nothing. But if he didn't go then his father would have had to. And by two or three in the morning his father would have to be aboard. It must be terribly cold in the dark out on that sea; out on that sea in the small hours of a sleepy morning, or on a morning of hard frost, with mist coming off the water like ghosts' breath,
The loneliness of the bouldered beach suddenly caught him in an odd way. A small shiver went over his back. The dark undulating water rose from him to a horizon so far away that it was vague and lost. What a size it was! It could have up and drown the whole world. Its waters would go rushing and drowning. He glimpsed the rushing water as a turbulent whiteness released out of thunderous sluices. "But you can't," he half-smiled, a little fearfully, glancing about him. A short distance away, right on the sea's edge, he saw one of the boulders move. His heart came into his throat. Yet half his mind knew that it could only be some other lonely human being in the ebb. And presently he saw the back bob up for a moment again.
Yes, it was a man. Seeking among the boulders there like some queer animal! He looked about him carefully. There was no one else. There were just the two of them in the ebb. Here they were on this dark beach, with nobody else. A strange air of remoteness touched him. It was as though they shared this gloomy shore, beyond the world's rim between them. There was a secret importance in it. He stooped and began filling his bag with mussels, picking big ones in a manly way. The water was now merely cool to his burning hands. name of story
