Immediately in front of them arose a vast cliff, --black, rocky, frowning, --that ascended straight up from the deep water, its summit lost in the thick fog, its base white with the foaming waves that thundered there. A hoarse roar came up from those breaking waves, which blended fearfully with the whistle of the wind through the rigging, and seemed like the warning sound of some dark, drear fate. The cliff was close by, and the schooner had been steering straight towards it. So near was it that it seemed as though one could have easily tossed a biscuit ashor

The Living Link is a science fiction novel written by James De Mille. The book is set in a dystopian future where the world is divided into two factions: the ruling class who have access to advanced technology and the common people who live in poverty. The story follows the journey of a young man named Frank who is part of the common people and dreams of a better life. One day, he discovers a mysterious device called the ""Living Link"" which allows him to communicate with a parallel world. Through this link, Frank meets another version of himself who is part of the ruling class and has access to advanced technology. Together, they embark on a dangerous journey to overthrow the ruling class and bring equality to the world. The Living Link is a thrilling tale of adventure, friendship, and the power of technology to bridge the gap between different worlds.Again, as to the writing in blood, a vigorous effort was made to show that this was a conspiracy against an innocent man. It was argued that Mr. Henderson did not write it at all; and efforts were made to prove that the wound in his head must have caused instantaneous death. He himself, therefore, could not have written it, but it must have been the work of some one who was plotting against Dalton, or who was eager to divert suspicion from himself.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Mr. Moses V. Sprole had passed the greater part of his life in his native village, and being anxious to see the world, resolved upon a tour in Europe. As he did not care to go alone, he offered to take with him his four nephews, who were great favorites with their bachelor uncle, and his chief associates. This offer met with an eager response from the boys, and a willing assent from their parents, who fully believed that a tour of this description would be of immense benefit to them. This brief explanation will serve to account for the appearance of Uncle Moses in Naples, where he landed on a mellow day in February, en route for Switzerland, bowed down with the responsibility of several heavy trunks, and the still heavier responsibility of four fine lumps of boys, of whose troubles, trials, tribulations, and manifold adventures, he seemed, on the present occasion, to have a mournful presentiment.

A Strange Manuscript Found in a Copper Cylinder is perhaps James De Mille¿s most popular book; sadly, De Mille didn¿t get to see this novel grow in popularity, as it was first serialized posthumously, in Harper¿s Weekly. De Mille had written the novel before the ¿lost world¿ genre had become saturated, meaning many of the ideas were fresh and original for the time in which it was written. But, since he didn¿t succeed in publishing it during his lifetime, by the time the novel was made public other authors like H. Rider Haggard had made the ideas and plot clichéd.The novel itself tells the tale of a shipwrecked sailor, Adam More, who passes through a mysterious underground passage into a hidden land deep in the Antarctic, kept warm by a hidden volcano. The land is populated by an ancient civilization whose views on life and wealth are the polar opposite of those held in British society of the time¿they view death and poverty as the highest religious and social achievements. As More adventures through the strange land, he encounters fantastic dinosaurs, lovelorn princesses, and the classic kind of adventure that foreshadows the pulp novels of the next century.
