World: Europe: Britain: England: Mounts Bay
Large bay on the southern coast of Cornwall.DEVI: Holmes and Watson's cottage looked out upon Mounts Bay.
Watson:"...we looked down upon the whole sinister semicircle of Mounts Bay, that old death trap of sailing vessels, with its fringe of black cliffs and surge-swept reefs on which innumerable seamen have met their end. Then come the sudden swirl of the wind, the blustering gale from the south-west, the dragging anchor, the lee shore, and the last battle in the creaming breakers. The wise mariner stands far out from that evil place."
