The Isle of Demons
The island rises out of the fog exactly where the charts print its warning, and the wind across it makes a sound the men decline to describe to one another. Then the lookout calls again, and the spyglass passes from hand to hand in silence. On the shore below the rocks there is a driftwood fire, tended and banked against the wind, and beside it a figure in the rags of what was once good clothing, waving a burning brand at us with both arms. Demons, the boatswain observes, do not usually need firewood.

historical_info = seven_cities_norumbega.13.historical_info In 1542 the nobleman Roberval, sailing to colonize Canada with Jean Alfonse as his pilot, discovered that his young kinswoman Marguerite de La Rocque had taken a lover aboard ship, and marooned her on the Isle of Demons off the Newfoundland coast with the lover and a maidservant. The lover, the servant, and a child born on the island all died there. Marguerite survived alone for more than two years, shooting bears with the party's arquebuses, until Basque fishermen took her off. Back in France she told her story to the Queen of Navarre, who put it in a book, which is the only reason we know it. The island itself has since been forgotten; no one is certain today which one it was.
