It paused for a moment, then rushed impetuously down the steep incline, over the sands, and was lost in the sea. In different forms this story is told all around the Cornish coast.","title":"Popular Romances of the West of England: Romances of Fishermen and Sailors: The Voice from the Sea","type":"page"}
