The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Dracula by Bram Stoker: actually project over where the sustaining cliff has fallen away,
it disappeared in the darkness, which seemed intensified just beyond
the focus of the searchlight.
It so happened that there was no one at the moment on Tate
Hill Pier, as all those whose houses are in close proximity
were either in bed or were out on the heights above.
Thus the coastguard on duty on the eastern side of the harbour,
who at once ran down to the little pier, was the first to
climb aboard. The men working the searchlight, after scouring
the entrance of the harbour without seeing anything,
then turned the light on the derelict and kept it there.
