4.0
Open LibraryFirst lines
The sea ends, the river starts, somewhere inside the great, wide, funnel-shaped estuary called the Nore, whose easternmost boundaries we set arbitrarily at Whitstable on the south, and Foulness Point on the north; somewhere within this vast basin at the edge of the Thames where the English fleet used to anchor, sails furled, ropes coiled, taking on supplies and waiting for orders.
