Excerpt from The Literary Souvenir: A Christmas and New Year's Present for 1840 The ringing of the passing bell and the dashing of a down coming steam boat, as she glanced rapidly past, attracted my attention from the old Dutchman, and I found myself opposite the Palisades. The wind had partially cleared the river of the fog, but the heights were covered with a nightcap of cloud. Occasionally, a gust of wind would dash a body of vapor against a jutting crag, and the thick white fog would split into many pieces - like the shattering of a solid body. On the bosom of the iron-bound shore, clouds of a round and rolling form, protected by some projecting rock from the force of old Boreas, that blustering railer, tumbled gracefully along lagging most lazily in the clefts of the hill, or sporting up and down the rain-worn gullies in its side, till a fresh puff of wind invaded their retreat, and dispersed the airy veil.
