"Dragon hill was what they called that wild-looking place on the rocky Atlantic coast, and a good name for it, too for behind the threatening "keep off" signs lived a ferocious old hermit who repelled invaders with his shotgun. What other perils and mysteries might be there too?
"it was chance more than daring that led William and his Scottish cousin Mary to accept the terrifying hospitality of captain mcdurgan, the master of dragon hill. There was a searing drought that summer, and as the august days become more and more unbearable it began to seem as if events were sweeping to some terrible climax, as if things were losing their reality, as if life might be part of the novel that William’s father was driving to complete."
"And then the storm broke--a storm that brought great seas to flood the coast, that smashed the good along with the bad that took captain mcdurgan to sea again in the strangest vessel that he had ever commanded....and perhaps in the end it brought him back to a harbor that he had too long abandoned."
