Excerpt from Le Chirurgien de Marine

C'était une nuit grise et froide comme toutes les nuits de novembre sous le ciel de la Bretagne. Brest dormait 3 depuis longtemps, et l'on n'entendait dans son port d'une lieue que le craquement des câbles immenses qui retiennent b les vaisseaux, les rugissements de la 5 rafale de mer dans les magasins déserts et les pas cadencés des sentinelles.
