The House on Stilts CHAPTER I IN THE CLUTCH OP THE SURE FOR half an hour we rowed the boat parallel to the black cliffs, looking in vain for a harbor. The ill-fated Foam, which had brought us on the wild chase across the Gulf in pursuit of Varney, had disappeared soon after we had left her sinking hulk, and with her had gone the bodies of the four men of the crew, who had lost their lives in the explosion that had wrecked the yacht. Only Captain Billings and Engineer Hollis were left to escape, with Larry Sullivan and myself, toward the unknown land now looming, dark and forbidding, before us.
