by Ingersoll Lockwood
Ingersoll describes a violent crash and recoil in the opening chapter of the novel.
"THAT was a terrible night for the great City of
New Yorkâthe night of Tuesday, November 3rd,
1896. The city staggered under the blow like a huge
ocean liner which plunges, full speed, with terrific
crash into a mighty iceberg, and recoils shattered
and trembling like an aspen."
Tuesday, the day of Mars. Mr Lockwood left us truly wonderful and invaluable gifts in the form of his novels.
