Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Merely a Negress: A West African Story The sun stood proudly above the docks on a beautiful morning in June, 19 - , and the light was dappling the river with opalescent tints. Liverpool was at her busiest period, for this was the height of the West African season, and the steamers were running on an augmented service. Cabs were rattling up to the landing-stages, passengers were hurrying along the gangways, and everywhere was the multitudinous murmur of traffic. When Frank Benson arrived at the Toxteth Dock there were three of the Elder-Dempster boats in process of discharging cargo. He never visited Liverpool without calling at this favourite haunt of business men. After the comparative sleepiness of his little Manchester suburb the effect of this ceaseless activity was revivifying, renascent, strengthening.
