Excerpt from The Pilots of Pomona: A Story of the Orkney Islands N a certain bright morning in the month of May, 1843, the little port of Stromness wore an aspect of unwonted commotion. The great whaling fleet that every year sailed from this place for the Greenland fisheries was busily preparing for sea. The sun was shining over the brown hills of Orphir, and casting a golden sheen over the calm bay. Out beyond the Holms the whal ing ships lay at anchor, the Blue Peter flying at each forepeak, and between them and the town many boats were passing to and fro.
