Nantucket.
Nothing more happened on the passage worthy the mentioning; so, after a fine run, we safely arrived in Nantucket.
Nantucket! Take out your map and look at it.

See what a real corner of the world it occupies; how it stands there, away off shore, more lonely than the Eddystone lighthouse.

Look at it--a mere hillock, and elbow of sand; all beach, without a background.

There is more sand there than you would use in twenty years as a substitute for blotting paper.
