Through it all, Jim remains true to himself and his values, and ultimately finds happiness and success. The book is a moving and inspiring tale of one man's journey to find his place in the world and make a difference in the lives of those around him.I could think of nothing except the words: ""I am a murderer."" A wild wish came to me to run to the cliffs by Black Pool to see whether the bodies lay on the grass in the place where I had seen them (full of life) only a few hours before. Anything was better than that uncertainty. In one moment a hope would surge up in me that the men would not be dead; but perhaps only gagged and bound: so that I could free them. In the next there would be a feeling of despair, that the men lay there, dead through my fault, killed by Marah's orders, and flung among the gorse for the crows and gulls.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
