Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Cumner´s Son and Other South Sea Folk There was trouble at Mandakan. You could not have guessed it from anything the eye could see. In front of the Residency two soldiers marched up and down sleepily, mechanically, between two ten-pounders - marking the limit of their patrol; and an orderly stood at an open door, lazily shifting his eyes from the sentinels to the black guns, which gave out soft, quivering waves of heat, as a wheel, spinning, throws off delicate spray. A hundred yards away the sea spread out, languid and huge. It was under-tinged with all the colors of a morning sunrise over Mount Bobar, not far beyond, lifting up its somnolent and massive head into the eastern sky. "League-long rollers" came in as steady as columns of infantry, with white streamers flying along the line, and, hovering a moment, split, and ran on the shore in a crumbling foam, like myriads of white mice hurrying up the sand.
