Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Secret of the Sea &C Time was when the R.M.S. ´Patagonia´ was the greyhound of the Atlantic; but that time was long past. Newer and larger boats, burning less coal and making more knots, had been built nearly every year since the ´Patagonia´ had beaten the record by crossing the ocean in less than eight days from Browhead Castle to Fire Island Light. Now not only were there other deer-hounds of the deep two days faster than the ´Patagonia´ had ever been, but the ´Patagonia´ herself, like the man who went around the world, had lost a day. Although the ´Patagonia´ had changed owners, and was now no longer a royal mail steam-ship, it had not yet fallen to the low estate of the sea-tramp, a homeless wanderer over the face of the waters, bearing hides from Buenos Ayres on one trip, and on the next carrying coals from Newcastle. She still belonged to a line in good repute, and she still made her regular round trip every five weeks from Liverpool to New York.
