The Cruise of the Shining Light is a captivating novel by Norman Duncan that tells the story of a young boy named Davy who sets off on a sailing adventure with his father and a group of sailors aboard the Shining Light. The novel is set in the early 1900s, and takes the reader on a journey across the Atlantic Ocean, through storms and dangerous waters, as the crew navigates their way to the Caribbean. Along the way, Davy learns important lessons about life, love, and the power of the sea. The novel is a thrilling adventure story that will keep readers on the edge of their seats, while also offering insights into the human condition and the beauty of the natural world. With vivid descriptions of the ocean, the weather, and the characters, The Cruise of the Shining Light is a timeless classic that will appeal to readers of all ages.The outer door was flung open. Came a rush of wind-the noise and wet and lusty stirring of the night. It broke harshly in upon us; 'twas a crashing discord of might and wrath and cruel indifference -- a mocking of this small tragedy. The door was sharply closed against the gale. I heard the wheeze and tread of my uncle in the kitchen. He entered -- his broad face grave and anxious and grieved -- but instantly fled, though I beckoned; for Parson Lute, overcome, it may be; by the impiety of Elizabeth, was upon his knees, fervently praying that the misguided soul might yet by some miraculous manifestation of grace be restored to propriety of view and of feeling.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
