This is part 2 of Seconde Patrie. {{Tr|Cranstoun Metcalfe}}. This translation begins: "Night—a pitch-dark night! It was almost impossible to distinguish sky from sea. From the sky, laden with clouds low and heavy, deformed and tattered, lightning flashed every now and then, followed by muffled rolls of thunder. At these flashes the horizon lit up for a moment and showed deserted and melancholy."

There is a Preface that starts on page vii and ends on page xiii. Not part of the original and uncredited. Sources:
