Author: Cooper, James Fenimore, 1789-1851
Date: June 18, 1898
Edition Description: *The scene, in the splendid description which follows is on the eastern coast of the Island of Great Britain. The time supposed is that of the American Revolution. The frigate is an American vessel. She is making her way, under a pilot just taken on board, through a narrow passage among dangerous shoals, to the open sea. The pilot, here called Mr. Grey, whom no one, except the captain, knows, turns out, in the progress of the story, to be the famous Paul Jones.
First Sentence: The Pilot alone, in that confused and busy throng, where voice rose above voice, and cry echoed cry, in quick succession, appeared as if he held no interest in the important stake.
