Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Guy Averall: A Patriotic Sketch A good many years ago, longer in fact than we think necessary to tell, a stately vessel, belonging to the Black Ball Line of Packets, then plying between Europe and America, was seen slowly approaching the harbor of New York. The ship, named the Imperial, had previously been boarded by a pilot, who now in conformity with maritime regulations, was making preparations for bringing his charge into port. The studding sails; the staysails; the spanker; the t´gallant sails, fore, main, and mizzen, had all been taken in; nothing, in fact, was now spread, save a jib and top sail, under which the vessel kept her course. Finally too these were clewed up; a number of sailors had previously heaved out the Anchor by means of a tackle; Mr. Barr, the chief mate, was giving orders so that the chain which was ultimately to hold the vessel could not possibly get foul when the anchor was dropped; the Captain, a dark featured, weather beaten man, kept up the show of authority, by "overhauling" a sailor now and then; while the pilot, a bluff looking old son of Neptune, was so much occupied with his charge, that he seemed as calm and imperturbable as the great sea divinity himself.
